PoE Occultist builds

Looking for input on the following build. I filled in a passive tree and added the mandatory items I know of. I'm going for a Low Life Occultist that uses cyclone+CoC+cold dot. From how I picture this... 1) cyclone crits and causes cold snap to proc. cold snap generates frenzy charges. (inner conviction on passive converts frenzy to power charges which boost all spell dmg). 2) I hand cast vortex which is the primary damaging spell in addition to cyclone. 3) Cospri's Malice auto casts ice spear, frost bomb and vaal ice nova. 4) I've taken 2 curses - frostbite and elemental weakness whic

Are people sleeping on dark pact as a league starter for 3.17, or is it just too weak. I know, there are the EAs and Nightblade/elusive builds, but dark pact seems to be super strong with no investment whatsoever. No uniques required. Random PoB Occ with no gear, lvl 85 and a 5l Dark pact gives me around 1m single target It scales with minion life, crit, chaos dmg, 5 chains. This has to be at least solid. somebody playing it in 3.16?

I want to play some sort of self-caster and with the ice spear buff it seems like it would be pretty good damage. I figured I could use Ice Spear as single target and for clear ice spear into packs and have herald of ice pop everything. I was able to make the build tanky to me at least with 30k armor 5k Life and 2k ES with alot of regen. Can anyone take a look at this build and see if it would be any good or have any advice?

Looking for suggestions on an Occultist Cold-BV league starter. Budget: low (Mostly spending for 2 strong prefixes on staff) If you've got suggestions on where to take it for min-maxing, that would also be great; I'm coming back after a couple of leagues so I'm \rusty\ - should I go powercharges with 2x Void Battery? Something else? etc - I expect I'll want to respec eventually once I can craft/purchase decent cluster jewels, but don't want to assume I'll be getting them pre-red maps. If anyone has a better-looking PoB using Elementalist instead of Occultist, I'm all ears, I'd just prefer

Hi guys, I'm working on making a poison BV or BFBB build and trying to get numbers to work out. &x200B; I've got my defenses pretty much completely solved, but I need to cut 7-8 points on the tree and only have 1.5-2 million dps atm. This seems really low for end game stats, and I'm using a lot of the best gear I can think of. Is this good enough? here is my work in progress pob for reference.

Hi guys, Just taking a look at EK, it's damage effectiveness got buffed 80% in addition to 50% base spell damage, so I was thinking of making a build to scale it with battlemage. Inquisitor may be the way to go (you could even use rebuke of the vaal), but I like Disentigrator and then going either inquis, necro or full cold conversion Occultist. &x200B; I eventually settled on Occultist for slightly more ehp since pious path doesn't do much for the build because I'm running devouring diadem with MoM and Wicked Ward to keep up my HP and counter the Disentigrator degen. Here is my buil
