PoE 3.23 Affliction Shadow, Templar, League Starter, Spell builds

Please rip this build to shreds and tell me this is shit but below is a PoB I threw together for an Ice Nova build using new Archmage in a 5link Pledge of Hands. Gear is very, very basic and it seems fairly squish as a result but unless I'm missing something it seems like it should be pretty fun to lightning warp around, hitting ice nova and auto casting frost bolts and echoing more ice nova's for pretty good early mapping with minimal investment. Appreciate y'alls feedback

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

Not a league starter - levelling with SBoI and/or PBoD

Disclaimer: First of all, I would like to thank the ytb user FearlessDumb0 for giving me inspiration to make this build. This build is based on his 2d explosive trap video. Here is the link: How to level After you are done with the "Leveling" skill tree, start pathing to the nodes in the "Default" Skill tree. Dont bother with respecing, until you're about lvl 80-85. 1. Get Rolling Magma-Elemental Prolif - ? (anything but Added Cold) 2. At Lvl 12, get Fire trap - Elemen

EDIT 1: Prismatic burst doesn't work on spells, so ignore any mention of it. You can try to fit it on Shield Charge 4l, and RF 4l for mapping fast, and use Vaal Firestorm for any singletarget boofing EDIT 2: With Skin of the Lords, use Empower over Cruelty. The bonus skill level makes it a +28 and gigabuffs the damage by almost double. Uniques: and Gear: Use Sporeguard until Skin of lords, with any keystone on tree. It saves you 1 point max. Can experiment with Eldritch Battery or Supreme Ego, no o

This has been one of my favourite league starts ever. I forgot how smooth perm minions are to play, and the Kuduku spectres shock nova is basically screen wide with the 30% minion AoE mastery. There's obviously a ton of improvements and gear upgrades to make, this is just a rough SSF friendly week one target. Spectres are Spirit of Fortune, found from the pink vendor in the league mechanic. You can farm the spectre corpses in a10 desecrated chambers. In-fact, it's easier to do so since you can keep resetting the zone, perfect spectres are much more common in campaign, and the corpse pool at

That's my league starter, took me a while to figure out and to build (i'm not a minion player) I don't like minions builds because they are button heavy, so i tried to build this one to be minimal (1 main + 2 utility) So far it's doing some pretty good damage, and there is not much to press 1. right click for your AW 2. (occasionally) the big guardian RF 3. (on bosses) arcanist brand for mark + offering (pob doesn't calculate AG of Smithing, i expect total DPS to be at least 1.5x) PoB (target): PoB (current):
