PoE 3.16 - CoC Ice Spear Occultist - Min-maxed A9 Showcase - (PoB, Gearing, Info in DESCRIPTION)

PoB: https://pastebin.com/0e7yhS6M This build is my magnum opus for Scourge league. I went all out on min-maxing, and while there is still room for improvements, I've exhausted my options. This build dishes out absurd damage, feels smooth to play, and has a lot of elements you can look to scale in order to improve your damage. CoC with ice spear feels especially powerful and I am very happy with how much I've pushed it. I've been able to do all content with it, even sim30 being comfortable. It's tanky if you play around blind and stack some ES. Beyond that though, it will just melt through everything.

Gearing: Weapon Main Hand: Cospri's Malice - ideally with additional projectile + pen or onslaught if you can't get it on boots

Shield: Prism Guardian w/ +2 aura/aoe implicit - gives our grace, hatred, and zealotry more juice while also allowing us to go low life

Helmet: Hubris circlet or blizzard crown - ice spear add proj enchant - you want max power charges + nearby -cold res, with a min max helm being +crit multi and elevated versions of the mods

Body Armour: 6L Shavs w/ +2 projectiles - We are simply scaling our ice spear gem levels with this. If you get a +3 shavs and run 6/20 awakened CoC, you can reach another cdr threshold

Gloves: Rare fingerless silk gloves w/ unnerve + cull ; you can also just go gloves w/ incr dmg against chilled enemies, and accuracy, depends on what you need

Boots: Rare ES Boots - cdr, tailwind, movespeed, ES - you primarily want CDR here or on belt, or both depending on setup. Tailwind will help with getting AS. Pen enchant if you can

Amulet: Pressence of Chayula (annoint Essence Sap for mana leech) - standard low life amulet; a lot of survivability from it so it's required.

Rings: cold damage+buff effect circle of fear + assassin's mark rare ring - standard circle of fear for damage; opal ring is ideal and if you can get more damage here, it will make up for other places where it's harder to find damage

Belt: Crystal belt w/ tons of ES, CDR, and aspect - you can get aspect on helm too, but it's inefficient if you want other mods like crit multi there. Belt should provide a lot of ES but is overall flexible. CDR is always nice

Flasks: Bottled Faith (or sulphur) / Quicksilver Flask / Cinderswallow or Atziri's promise (depends on cdr/AS breakpoint) / Diamond Flask of Incision / Dying Sun

Unique Jewels: Hatred base crit ; ES on hit or other QoL mods are all ok / Replica Conqueror's efficiency for mana is really important / Unnatural Instinct gives us a lot of value in the center wheel / Dominus millitant faith gives us 20% damage from power charge scaling

Cluster Jewels: 2 large, 4 medium - these are really price if you go for min-maxed ones. I'd say you can run 2mod larges until you can afford one with 3; disorienting display is really good for defensives, but not required.

Jewels: Ideally triple crit multi + ES, but you can fill res/get AS, or whatever else on these.

Playstyle: Setup/Bossing - Flame dash for arcane surge - vortex for curse - cylone

Clear - Cyclone away, cast vortex if you are hitting rares or taking damage (to proc disorienting display)
