Poe 3.16 EOW CI POB explanation Functionally Tanky w/ low invest

If you're using this template to make a different build then go ahead and ignore any references to eye of winter Leveling: Level up and take whatever damage nodes / masteries suit your preferred skill, goal is to swap to Eye of winter before maps. Consider mana / caster masteries as well as life masteries early on. ES found on gear is nice because some of the nodes we take are hybrid. Keep in mind you will need strength and dexterity to use things like herald of purity, herald of ice, hatred, also depends on the skill of choice you have. OOS/ARC with a storm brand(3l or 4l) to help with bosses is probably the most comfortable playstyle with least respec points once you go eye of winter, the +1 chain should carry oos/arc clear and help with arc bossing. could sling but not a fan. BLADE VORTEX attribute issues not advised unless you know what you're doing. You can get conversion and scale elemental damage very hard super early now, vaal bv if you get one would do a lot of damage and if you take void beacon with hrimsorrow the dps will be good enough for leveling FREEZE PULSE gets carried hard by ascendancy / jewel early on. it will be kind of painful in the first few acts so i would suggest just using oos/arc and swap after first ascendancy/jewel reward from a5. it can work though without the jewel, just requires dex to run lmp and swap for added cold on bos EYE OF WINTER not advised to do once you have the ability to use the skill, its good enough but chain really unlocks the skills potential and you will run into more attribute issues just like freeze pulse. COLD/CHAOS DOT alternatively we are in a decent placement to do chaos or cold dot if you're familiar with that leveling playstyle. Borderline mandatory leveling link once lv 28: Bane - Elemental curse that benefits you the most - Arcane surge. On bosses this makes leveling super easy and bane has a very quick cast time, as well as curse clusters being available super early. jewels are just examples of 4 property damage modifiers you will want for eye of winter, projectile speed is another option for comfort! (they are also low rolled) dps you are seeing when you load this pob is what i consider cheesed. SHOCK IMMUNE FREEZE IMMUNE STUN IMMUNE ARMOUR
