PoB: Here's an idea for a league starter that I've been thinking about for a while. It converts the cold damage hit from Cold Snap into fire to ignite enemies while still dealing cold DoT and chilling, using increased cold and elemental damage and generic DoT multi to scale both DoTs. Normally I just flesh out a tree when theory crafting, but Mathil released a Wave of Conviction ignite starter build and I decided to plug my tree and skill into his gear, just changing the some of the fire modifiers to cold (which I imagine should be cheaper this league anyway)
I'm tired of seeing build guides for Spectral Shield Throw that pad their damage with unreliable buffs or mirror-worthy gear. Here is a Spectral Shield Throw build that gets over 1 million damage with really cheap gear. While reaching that benchmark, it does not use: Awakened gems Corrupted gems or gear Cluster jewels Watcher's Eyes Anoints, catalysts, or enchants Charges unsustainable for boss fights Rage/Rampage Shocks You can add these things to the build once you're willing to start investing in it to really push your damage, but too many builds make extraordinar
