Cold Dot Trickster League Start Leveling Guide/Practice | Path of Exile Forbidden Sanctum 3.20

Probably one of the easiest to play and at the same time strongest (good clear, very tanky, especially once you stack masteries for polymath) league starters you can play for the next couple of leagues, similar to old ED/Contagion play style, so if you liked that, this one is probably right up your alley.

I will most likely league start this build in forbidden sanctum 3.20. Under 4 hours to maps on a dot build lol.

This build reminds me a lot of chaos dot trickster that I used for a couple of leagues to carry my friend group/guild to red maps a couple of league starts before and after soulrend was released. However, this cold dot version feels stronger and is definitely faster to solo level.

The build is modelled after phazeplays mayhem winning cold dot trickster. his pob (SSF HC, time-limited): https://pastebin.com/gpSWwjJd

I hope to adapt it for endgame for trade softcore (but have not made any pobs/tests yet, will maybe do so in the following days), The build should in the endgame be extremely tanky. Polymath makes you close to immortal while mapping, the big slows also make manual dodging of stronger opponents easy.

Once you got shield charge and vaal cold snap on you are zooming.
