PoE 3.21 Crucible Cold, Simulacrum builds

TL;DR| Pob link here: ---|--- Quick Explanation | A level 24 creeping frost skill gem is used to simulate the expected damage of a level 20 FB skill gem (based on comparisons with Searing Bond.) On Shako, I've added a 410% more damage over time modifier to simulate the level 30 version of the skill (based on searing bond's scaling.) There is a non Shako version under the Default tab, which is just a down-grade in practically every regard. Both use Supreme Ostentation, because league reasons. Build is fully built, but not optimized. There is almost certainly better

4.3k life, 2.1k es, 100% supress, 25k eva. Pretty happy at 60% delirious, but struggles at 22+ simu.

You can still use Frenzy

So, damage is up a little bit, and mostly speed is up by a lot! This is starting to get insane really. I usually run deli on my maps as normal mapping is no challenge anymore. Having said that, defenses of this build are still very much lacking. This will be improved but i kinda decided to go full meme build and ditch some defenses. For instance my body armour now has an elevated +1 gems and +1 support gems prefix instead of defenses. This gives flicker strike an additional 18% teleport range. It is possible even to get the elevated %dex suffix for another 8% via +1 dex gems. With the abov
