[3.21] Cold Conversion Summoner | Build guides for all budgets | (Ghazzy Zoomancer)

"

Thank you for replying! You're helping me a lot.

I started this league with a build I played in Heist in mind. Of course lots of things changed and I have to adapt, and your build looks great so thats what I am aiming. But yeah, still have a lot of things to change, including the tree.

Another question I have is about Elemental Equilibrium in the chest. How do we manage to aplly that bonus cold damage on our targets for our minions to benefit from it?

How EE works is that we're supposed to NOT deal cold dmg to apply Cold Exposure.
It works by giving exposure to the elements that did not hit the target. So if you deal fire dmg, it gives cold and lightning exposure (25%).

There are several ways but basically, you want to deal lightning or fire dmg to a target yoruself.

On a lowbudget, the best way to do this is with Storm Brand on level 1(Less mana cost). You can then link Hextouch and Frostbite to it and it applies both Exposure and Frostbite to everything it hits.
If you get a Frostbite ring, you don't have to use either Frostbite or Hextouch at all which saves 2 socket slots.

On higher budgets we run Blade Vortex instead. It's a physical dmg dealing spell though so need to get in lightning or fire damage somehow. The easiest way to do this is by crafting lightning & fire dmg ring crafts on one ring for a prefix slot. (Not lightning and fire dmg to attacks, but flat lightnign and fire dmg)

What I've done this league is used a pair of krangled Triad Grips with 25% fire conversion instead. It causes 25% of my BV damage to be fire which saves a prefix slot on my rings making it all easier.

Running t14-16s basically deathless. I swapped in molten shell and speced out of bone barrior. It does feel better popping vall molten shell for bosses and sticky situations. I have the regular molten shell on my movement left click so I almost always cast it instantly.

I just crafted my helm with about 6 ex. Its a +2 minion gem/18 minion damage/18 hypthermia/18 minion life. The minion life is basically useless. Ideally you want +3 but I'm not rolling over it at this point. Got lucky with only about 25ish bound/frigid. I believe this is the best way to craft but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I ran 2 maps and clearing is insane now. Beefy rares and uniques drop fast and I dont have to worry about gem swapping on SO/phatasms.

I think awakened cold pen will be the next upgrade for me. Opens but a gem slot and its just cheaper than ele equil on chest. Then between getting crafting a +2frenzy/+2power shield or +2 wand next.

hi,

i played carion golem with syndicate operative physicval dmg.
i want to try cold dmg this league.

i dont like to click the skills and carrion was very easy.
only right click convocation and flame dashon mouse wheele.

i think i have to curse enemys with frost bite?
dash on mousewheele and convocation on left click?
autocast on wand?

hope you can help me^^

Hey Deadandlivin

Awesome build running very smooth, what is the exact count on each individual spectre you are running ? and what have you found so far to be the optimal spectres ?

Hi, just asked Ghazzy a question about the Primal Crushclaw crabs and they seem broken. Apparently they have an ability they cast called HarvestNessaCrabScreech. This stupid ability apparently increases cold damage taken by a whopping 50% according to Ghazzy and some Reddit sources (https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/l40ja0/psa_the_screech_debuff_from_primal_crushclaw/)

So currently, I'm testing out running 3 SOs and 1 Primal Crushclaw.
The screech ability apparently also buffs us everyone around them increase attackspeed and movement speed aswell.

Will have to do some testing with them, but if it's truly 50% increased cold damage that's just insane. It's basically like adding 2 additional links to all our minions.

Possible to play with only mouse?
It is, but you'll lose alot of mobility from not using flasks.
I guess you could run this setup:

Left Mouse Button(Walk): Phase Run
Right Mouse Button: Convocation
Scroll down: Dash
Scroll up: Life Flask
Middle Mouse: 1 Utility Flask. Make sure to use Intilling Orbs with the effect, use adjecent flasks when this flask is used or whatever it's called.
Simply, you'll get the same thing on all flasks and when you use one flask you use all of them at the same time.

Hoooly %^&* that sounds like a insta mid league nerf type of number right there, thats beyond broken if true, better start deleting these posts.

I'll check in later on how the spectres are going if you dont post beforehand.

Thanx for your time and reply i appreciate it

Frostbite is on ring as a on hit modifier.
We run Blade Vortex on trigger in wand.
The trigger casts BV and Flesh Offering which applies all curses and debuffs. (Scroll to top of the page)

On lower budget you have to hardcast Frostbite though.

Currently running 5 golems and 3x SO + Pale Seraphim. Should i go for 4x SO or?
