[3.11] CI CoC Ice Nova Assassin - Max Block

Hello guys!

Any idea to how craft the perfect shield with:
- Energy Shield (ilvl.86)
- Recover #% of Energy Shield on block (shaper ilvl.68)
- chance to Block Spell Damage (shaper ilvl.75)
- Socketed Gems have 15% reduced Mana Reservation (shaper ilvl.80)
- +1 cold gems

Thanks.

Just wondering isn't it that Chaos Inoculation won't proc Pain Attunement because your not below 35% health to be considered low health.

Unless your using Coward's Legacy Belt but this build does not use cowards legacy.

he is using Militant Faith
soo he is not using pain attunment

Can someone tell me why he uses Hatred? I don't get it.

Anyone have a how to on crafting the ring?

Check last 10-15 pages of Kami’s coc guide. There is a similar ring craft. Might help you as a starting point. Sry can’t find it now myself.

To the best of my knowledge you have to get a base with reduced mana and spell block chance. Clean it from other affixes u don’t want.
Block suffixes (with removable crafts with different tags, for example chaos).
Block most weighted unwanted prefix groups with one removable augment and one bench craft. Reroll with cold or caster slams till u hit cold gems.
Remove other prefixes-blockers.
Slam and reroll defences till u get t1 es
Bench craft second es.
Now prefixes are full.
Remove suffix-blocker.
Slam defence for es on block.

Honestly getting the initial base with both mana and spell block rolls and no unremovable affixes is soo hard.

Now a question from my side :)
I’ve had an amazing journey crafting the items on my limited budget and finished with 80% good vs OP’s gear. Now time to level a char. I still have a few questions that i hope you could kindly help me with:
1) what would you deprioritize on tree for say lvl90 char?
2) what’s the priority in getting awakened gems? My view is awa cast on crit as main -> awa curse on hit for double curse (dmg boost) -> awa added cold
3) should i just skip frostbite before getting awa curse on hit?
4) what‘s the fast levelling route if i have the endgame es items ready? It’s always a pain for me as a not very experienced player, so i’d appreciate some guidance here.

1. You can complete the tree minus 1 x medium cluster jewel at level 91.
2. Awakened cast on crit (level 3). The other 2 don't matter. Awakened curse on hit is good, but extremely expensive. You should already have enough damage to wreck bosses anyway, e.g. Sirus A8 before he can even attack in the last phase.
3. Yeah. I socket it but don't use it (no curse on hit connected to it).
4. If you have decent ES gear and can reach max block then you can start to use the gear. Otherwise pick one of the many other shadow builds, e.g. mines or BV which can clear all content for next to nothing.

Cool, thanks for the advice!
I was kinda unsure if we are good with jus one medium cluster on aoe.
As for levelling, what would you recommend to use as main link before second lab where i can switch to coc ice nova?

If you have twink gear you can literally do anything. Running a 5 or 6 link with plenty of skills through the acts is a joke. You can easily get away with any orb of storms or mine setup before second lab, and you can switch at any point.
