0.5 COC Ice Strike Shattering Explosions

All tests and questions answered LIVE ON TWITCH

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

SPIRIT:

We have a total of 200 Spirit.
- Mod on Body Armour
- Enchant on Helmet
- Runes on Weapon

AMULET:

Annointment: Overwhelming Strike

Eventide Petals - is the way to go here because of the Ice Crystals/Flowers it produces that helps with damage and AOE through Midnight Zenith.
You want to try get +2 Cold Skills on the Amulet aswell.
- NOTE: If you get the necklace with lvl 19+ Midnight Zenith and it still have 4 slots, then use a Perfect Jewellers Orb on the actual necklace for the 5th slot.

WEAPON:

If you are going for Hollow Palm Technique, DONT worry about the weapon.

• Critical Hit Base: Don't settle for a QS without this. It will greatly lower your Crit.
  → This is GOOD Sinister Quarterstaff / Bladed Quarterstaff / Bolting Quarterstaff
  → This is BAD Dreaming Quarterstaff / Smooth Quarterstaff
• +Flat Damage
• +Levels of Melee/Attack Skills
• Phys Damage
• Critical Damage Bonus

Duality is a good option here aswell. Aim for super high Phys with crit and Attack speed. However, this also provides you some bonuses for Combos, which we are not utilizing 100% with this build. If you want to make the most out of Duality, then replace Hollow Resonance with Martial Adept and add Mantra of Destruction in the build.

GLOVES → Way of the Stonefist

We are looking for mods like:

• Flat dmg
• Attack Speed
• Arcane Surge
  You can find the Mod Conversions -> HERE
  You can find the Crafting Guide -> HERE

HELMET:

• EV, EV/ES, ES: All 3 are good choices. Personally I went for full ES.
• Rarity: A good place to stack rarity.
• Resistances: Depending on whether you need it or not based on your other items.
• Crit Hit: If you need more crit, you can add it here. However we get a lot from tree.

BODY ARMOUR:

• EV/ES: We want to go Hybrid here for our defense since EV got giga Buffed & ES is still goated.
• Spirit: Needed for our setup.
• Deflection: This also got giga buffed so stacking it will help our defense even more.
• ES Recharge: This will also help our defenses a bit.
• Resistances: Stack as much as you possibly can here so you allow other items to focus on DMG.

BOOTS:

• EV | ES | EV/ES Base: Any of these three will be perfectly fine.
• Movement Speed: Obviously
• Deflection: This got a giga buff so stacking it will help our defense even more.
• ES Recharge: This will also help our defenses a bit.
• Resistances: Depending on whether you need it or not based on your other items.
• Attributes: Depending on whether you need it or not based on your other items.

BELT:

The belt depends on what you manage to get. We have multiple options:

Rare: You can stack attributes, resistances, life or anything else that you need.
Unique: You can go for Ingenuity to power-up the stats of your rings.
Unique: You can go for Shavronne's Satchel to recover our ES with our Life Flask
Unique: You can go for Headhunter if you get lucky or rich.

RINGS:

• +Flat Damage: This is the best stat to have on rings. Try get as many as you can.
• % Increased Damage: This is a decent option but not as good as +Flat.
• Resistances: Depending on whether you need it or not based on your other items.
• Attributes: Depending on whether you need it or not based on your other items.
• Leech Mana with Phys Dmg: This is a good option to have in case you're having mana issues.
