PoE Frostbolt builds without Ice Nova, Ice Nova of Frostbolts, Vaal Ice Nova of Frostbolts, Vortex of Projection

I have a stupid dream about playing self cast Frostbolt without Icenova. I am trying to make PoB but it looks like very weak. 1. Does this build can be significantly improved? x2 at least 2. If no.. Is there any good way to deal with my elemental resistances if I take The Annihilating Light or only from items and tree?

Edit: Updated without spellsinger and with a cwdt defensive setup. I'll update the new pob, but this is where I have reached. 1. 4.5k health 2.3k es 500 es regen 2. 27k armour 87% phys dmg mit 3. ailment immunity 4. 60% spell block with glancing blows 5. 82% crit chance 430% mult ( can get 100% by using inc crit chance instead of intensify, and it'll save 6-7 points) 6. 1.8m sirius dps with 3 intensity stacks and every buff up (assuming 4x mult from spell echo) Someone posted their pob for this build ( I'll look up who it was) and said this was a dps focused version. I tinkered aroun

Hello guys, I got this idea for an Occultist build inspired by the elemental dot buffs and the new chaos mastery revealed. I worked on this idea a few days ago, but the new chaos mastery reveal seems a pretty good fit for this build so, I included it in my build. Ok, a few words first. I want to point out that this build is not what someone would call "optimal", but it combines various features to create a beautiful result and what I would call a fun playing experience. If you 're fan of Torchlight, Grim Dawn etc. then you know what I'm talking about. So, what are the elements of the build?

Hi folks, so atm I´m PoBi´ing an Occultist and was thinking how good the defense layers in the title would work together. Malediction and Frigid Wake: 20% reduced Damage from hits Petrified Blood: 40% prevented (ofc there is the dot) Mom + Eldritch battery: 30% of dmg is taken from energy shield Fortify: 20% less dmg taken from hits On paper that sounds pretty good, but in reality I have no idea how this works all together. Can anybody help with the math?? Thx for your time mates! this is the POB so far, if u want to have a look

I'm currently running frost bolt/ice nova, and the damage is good enough (deathless a5 sirus was easy peasy), but the clear is mediocre despite huge AoE because the spell combo requires a significant amount of standing in place. Additionally when things get hectic it's really easy to miss casting a frost bolt which can end up with me either casting ice nova with no frost bolts (which is much lower dps) or casting ice nova on frost bolts that are already really far from me (frequently resulting in dying). I'm getting kinda tired of the gameplay being so clunky leading to enough deaths to have

Frostbolt ice nova battlemage seems like a really fun direction to take the new ascendancy, but there seem to be a lot of limiting factors on it in either the 2h or wander varieties. 2H - this seems best as a pure ice nova build, since pledge of hands is very nice, but cwc cyclone seems unappealing since cwc can be awkward with charging fanaticism. Snap casting cyclone every second seems very tedious. Wand - this seems appealing to me, since it gives easy access to frenzy or power charges and spellslinger will be much smoother with gaining fanaticism stacks. However, you miss pledge of ha

Hi everyone, When Trinity Support was announced I was pretty hyped. My first instinct is to abuse it with a support spell that uses a different element and exists for the sole purpose of generating resonance for your main skill. As it gives 50% more elemental damage and 20% elemental penetration, it is one of the most powerful supports available to elemental self cast spells. Luckily, there is already a powerful self-cast build involving a 2 spell combo: Frostbolt - Ice Nova. This build utilizes a lightning damage Frostbolt to grant
