This is my Leaguestarter for the 0.5 league. This build uses a slew of cold spells including
Ice Nova,
Frost Bomb,
Frost Darts, and
Frost Wall to freeze entire screens and bosses alike. With this setup I am looking to build into a new Runic spell this patch "Bitter Dead". This spell functions similarly to POE1's
Volatile Dead where it consumes a corpse to create a heat-seeking projectile that explodes for cold damage. As this is a new spell this patch I will be cooking the build as I go with this as a starting template to scale up and through t15's. I will update this guide daily with any and all changes as I go and I will also be live 16 Hours a day on Leaguestart week.
Campaign:
Act 1: We use a standard
Contagion
Essence Drain and
Bonestorm Combo as it is simply the strongest combination of spells you can use to get through act 1 while u have all generic spell damage. With your first spirit gem you pick up
Mana Remnants.
Act 2: Once you have enough support gems for at least 2 each in
Ice Nova
Frost Bomb and
Frost Darts We swap into our main setup of cold spells. Here we use Cold-Infused
Ice Nova for clear combined with
Snap and
Frost Bomb to generate cold infusions.
Frost Darts will be our primary single target along with
Frost Bomb for exposure and
Elemental Weakness.
Act 3 Onward: Here we socket
Frost Wall into the mix which greatly boosts our single target potential. We continue clearing with our cold-infused
Ice Nova same as before now with
Siphon Elements for amazing QoL on our frost infusion generation.
For single target we now start by cursing with
Elemental Weakness and
Freezing Mark into a
Frost Wall +
Frost Bomb rotation to explode our
Frost Wall for a massive damage. Using
Frost Darts as filler.
