PoE 3.23 Affliction Cold builds without Ralakesh's Impatience

Frostblink of Wintry Blast

Use Brand Recall to force the secondary debuff from Wintertide Brand to activate faster. Cold Snap for single target. Swap to Devoto's Devotion for more movespeed (also lets you drop the dex node). Can also swap Malevolence for Haste. Sadly can't really use Petrified Blood, on paper it's more ehp than Discipline but Vaal Discipline is more useful imo. Leave out LL if you want to be tankier. I left out Defiance Banner for now because of reservation issues. Get the remaining few k evasion from ring or amulet prefix or higher rolls on flask and gear or something, Utmost Intellect is also very use

I like leaguestarting Cold DoT occultist, and been toying with this PoB since vortex rework. This will work up to some point, but damage is a bit lackluster for voidstone bosses. Would appreciate some ideas on how to scale, without losing much on defenses. (pob got budget and default options)

Hello, Looking for help with Vortex in SSFHC. Go easy on me this is my first self-made build. I primarily play SSFHC, and I'd like to make my own build from scratch this time. Most of my characters have died so far, and I'm hoping this one will be safer with chill/freeze effects. Gear equipped is just crap random gear I have on one of my leveling toons. Using Vortex with Grace, Determination, Tempest Shield, and D,Banner. Thanks for looking, and I appreciate your help!

Hello exiles! First time poster, so constructive feedback welcome! Can try to get video footage if interest is sufficient. I'm wrapping up Affliction, which I (and many others) likely consider to be the most successful league I've experienced ever, and I have assembled a character that I'm proud of and believe may be of some interest (I've seen a number of posts asking for help using Tornado Shot in juiced maps). This character is capable of any mapping setup, and I've used it to farm my first 2 raw mirrors, and several more in high end currency and liquid drops. Level 100 and all pin

Thanks to some people on the official discord, I fixed an error with this build. It turns out my CDR/trigger rate was not correct and my damage was significantly lower than I thought. I had to spend a couple of hours changing up my tree and some items then do all the bosses again. Now my project build is done, I don't recommend doing this build. Showcase: PoB:

Just about done with the league so I thought I'd post my builds. Very happy with how all of them turned out, very fun league in general. Ice Spear Deadeye with White Wind/Battlemage pob: Single target: B Clear: B- Tankiness: B- Budget: A+ I knew I wanted to try this build as soon as I saw the Battlemage gem, since White Wind is one of my favorite uniques. Not quite the best starter build I've ever played, but definitely solid. It's honestly pretty similar to Mathil's build, with the addition of White Wind. White Wind isn't quite BiS, but you'd need
