[3.26] ShakCentral's Cold DoT Witch For Everyone

....brilliant... thank you very much, sir, for your kind an fast help. thanks a lot ! i`ve seen the light now, and take shaks route with your adjustments :-)

Hello,

First time trying this build.

Currently CI, and i am not sure if i will ever transistion to LL - as i love the tankiness CI provides.

My only issue is the damage output i have currently. I know the easy answer for this would be to go LL - but if that is out of the question.

I was looking at the Mark of the Shaper ring, as a possible option - though it is not listed as part of the CI gearing.

Isnt this still super viable for CI, with an Elder ring in the other ring slot?

Any other tips on greater damage would also be good. I have most of the Clusters suggested for CI in the POB.

Thanks!

" -ANY "while affected by Discipline" mod except for "+# Energy Shield gained for each Enemy Hit while affected by Discipline"

Does this really work with Vortex ticks?

6L. +1 cold gems shield. 21 Vortex. 20/20 supports or Awakened supports. Watcher's Eye. Better wand. Cold dot multi gloves.

What would be better for DPS,

6L CI or 5L Shavs LL?

Was wondering if it would be possible to fit in an Aspect (of the Spider most likely) in this build, CI version, as I currently have that open suffix on my boots staring at me with nothing useful to craft.

Malevolence and Dsicipline reserve 85% , Aspect 25%.

Enlighten 4 would be 12% less, would it stack with the Shield mod 'Socketed Gems have 15% reduced reservation'? (I also want recover ES when you block on shield, that will be expensive with high ES on it but OK)

What other ways would there be for -mana reserved?
1% on 2 jewels maybe, that's it I guess.

You still want around 200 available mana I think for abilities, so it will be hard/not sure if worth the trouble?

Just getting started in white maps and not really sure when I'm supposed to ditch Creeping Frost altogether and just go with Vortex + Cold Snap for damage. The PoB doesn't have a full set of skill links until you switch to CI so I'm thinking it looks something like

Vortex 5/6L
Vaal Cold Snap 4/5L
Flame Dash 4L
Orb of Storms 3L
CWDT 3L

This leaves one 4L which I guess is just for miscellaneous Malevolence, Discipline, not sure what else?

I checked this in his POB and removed Swift Affliction from the Shav's LL setup.

The 5link LL build with 2 clusters is higher DPS than the 6 link CI build with clusters.

You could easily to switch to Vortex now. I switched while leveling with no issues.

You have the general hybrid gem setup set up correct. If you can manage pressing yet another button, you can add in Frost Shield to an open socket.

aspect of the spider is a match made in heaven for this build is most definitely worth it at any stage, imo.

also, you shouldn't be that worried about mana reservation. the fact that both vortex and cold snap are CD based skills you don't have to spam like some other hand casting builds would do, leaves you with enough time to recover all the mana you could need.
moreover even though your presumtions on reservation are correct in a vacuum, you didn't think about the reduced reservation nodes on the tree (sovereignty, leadership and influence) that are easily accessible for the build. fitting in the aspect into the build shouldn't be a big problem even with a lower level enlightened. if push comes to shove, you could use a lower level clarity/vitality, skip them entirely or even anoint "Champion of the Cause"
