Build Advice - Ice Nova CoC Assassin

Hey all, just looking for some advice on my build.

I've tried to do a CoC Ice Nova/Frost Bolt/etc build on my own, without using guides. I was ES but found that it didn't really suit me so tried switching over to life.

Damage is good I think, though could obviously be better. My main concern atm is staying alive. Life is tiny. Where can I look to get some more tankiness alongside more dps?

Profile is public so you can take a look, toonis MogDelPoisonBV (lol yeah that was terrible, switched to CoC instead...)

But also here is PoB, hopefully configuration is ok.. https://pastebin.com/hbLpYYWc

Thanks!

You are asking for advice on your "Assassin" build in the Duelist Forum. You might want to go try the Shadow Forum instead. They can probably give you better advice.

Life CoC is pretty much definition of glass cannon (aside archers). Only safe versions are CI / low life ones with extremely high investment and instaleech items in standart league.

Occasional death here and there is inevitable.

Steps for your current character:

1. Uberlab asap.
2. get 75/75 dodge. Go to phase accro keystone, ellusive, dodge on boots, chest, quartz flask.
3. Get some form of recovery. I had best results with soul tether + glorious vanity + some sort of cold leech.


Here are some character examples utilising these mechanics
