In the POE 3.5 League, the official of PoE had reworked Cast On Critical Strike Support(abbreviate to COC). Its CD changed from 0.5s to 0.15s and its frequency increased from 2/s to 6.6/s. So fundamentally COC has become a new game mechanism. Many players have chose kinds of COC builds in gameplay.

 

Now POECurrencyBuy will recommend a bd based on COC and also suitable for version 3.6. The build is based on Cospri's Malice.

Advantages

  • Attack: the max dps, 700w, unrivalled clearing speed and movement speed. 
  • Defense: reach above 8000 effective blood volume
  • 80% element resistance in maximum
  • Fortify Support
  • To blind monsters
  • To decrease monster's hit through "Enfeeble Enfeeble" to enhance survivability
  • To enhance survivability through Discipline + Es Gain on Hit 
  • Variety of flasks will be great helpful.
  • 36% reduction
  • 5% Dodge
  • To endure kinds of damage like "t16 Forge of the Phoenix Map"

However, it may be a suffering in T18 without Avoid Freeze and Chill ( can be solved by other way). Chaos damage also need to pay attention on.

Note: Map mod（When clearing the map, these modifiers are important.）

  • Cannot Leech Life ( no worry if you have ES Gain on Hit +Flask)   
  • No Life Regeneration ( need a bottle of Mana Flask)
  • Reflected Elemental Damage taken ( can be solved by changing effect of Minor God)
  • Cannot Cast Curse (a little lower defense, but not so bad)
