This is an In-Depth Guide for Winter Orb Occultist League Starter Build for Path of Exile 3.29

You can ask any questions there: https://www.twitch.tv/ronarray

This build guide will lead you through the early League Start with Winter Orb Witch up to the Uber Endgame Build version with Insane Gear.

In 3.29 GGG Buffed Winter Orb significantly, improving crit, amount of projectiles and flat cold damage too.

❗Pact of Beidat IS NOT Working with Winter Orb since it is a channeling skill.

Instead you can use Pact of Lycia for 40% more Single Target DMG.

About the Build

Winter Orb is one of the rare skills in path Of Exile Because it has Autotarget and can provide a VERY chill and relaxing gameplay similar to autobombers builds.

It also stacks just perfectly with Occultist Witch, since ascendency can provide Power Charge related bonuses + some survivability.

As defenses, we can get Huge Energy Shield Pull, Regeneration from Occultist, Recovery on Block + 75% / 75% capped block, Chaos Inoculation + Leech.

All of that together making the build pretty Tanky too while additional projectiles providing HUGE Dps.
