Pros & Cons

Skill Tree

Ascendancy: Unstable Infusion -> Deadly Infusion -> Mistwalker -> Opportunistic (Please note that the 3.13 update)

Pantheon: I prefer Soul of Lunaris for the avoid and dodge, and Soul of Ralakesh for not to get maimed or blinded

Bandit: Take Alira for crit multiplier and all resistance

Gems Setup

6-Link CoC setup

Cyclone - Hypothermia - Inspiration - Awakened Cast On Critical Strike - Ice Nove - Increased Critical Strikes

swap in awakened added cold (5/20) instead of Inspiration for a small dps boost, but only if you're still crit capped on cyclone without flasks active

4-Link Aura setup

Enlighten - Hatred - Herald of Ice - Vaal Discipline

+ Aspect of the Spider on Gear

You can skip discipline if you're playing the Life based build

4-Link Movement and Vaal RF for dps

Dash  - Second Wind - Vaal Righteous Fire

4-Link cwdt setup

CWDT - Frost Bomb - Immortal Call - Precision

3-Link Cospri setup

Frostbolt - Ice Nova - Frostbite

3-Link Vortex setup

Vortex - Bonechill  - Arcane Surge - Awakened Unbound Ailments

Gear Setup

Helmet

Stat Priority:

• 250+ Energy Shield
• -9% Cold Resistance to nearby enemies
• Resistance / Dexterity / Intelligence / spell block (elder)

Enchant:

• 40% Ice Nova Damage (~7% more Damage)
• 30% Reduced Mana Reservation for HoI / Precision

Crafting:

1) get a ilvl 85 Hubris Circlet Redeemer Base, enchanted if you can get one

2) use Perfect Fossil to get 28%+ Quality for more ES

3) spam Dense + Frigid Fossils on it

in terms of dps, -9 cold Resistance is stronger than the 40% dmg enchant

sadly after patchnotes, its atm pretty hard to craft the -9 cold res and we need a redeemer base for it. Chances are really low to hit it with a good amount of ES. With even Resistance on it, its now a wet dream.

105% increased Energy Shield
+48% to Cold Resistance
+46% to Lightning Resistance
Attacks have +1.5% to Critical Strike Chance
