Can anyone more knowledgeable than me explain the interactions between Disorienting Display and our build? It's the cluster notable that blinds enemies on cast.

I understand that the trigger from CwC wouldn't proc it, but a cast of Vortex, Frostblink of self-cast of Ice Storm would? If so, even if not as powerful as Cold to the Core or Blanketed Snow, that notable would still be a nice defensive upgrade, blinding enemies left and right?

When we swap to the cluster setup, we need to make sure its worth the swap damage wise.

Primary nodes are Blanketed Snow and Cold to the Core, a 3rd node like Primsatic Heart or Disorienting display is nice on top but we are looking for more damage first and foremost.

Yep, but those clusters are worth 5-10div as of now. I got a cluster with CttC, Prismatic Heart, Disorienting Display and +3int for now to get two slots for the Split Personnalities. Of course we want CttC + Blanketed in front ideally, but in the meantime, I'm wondering how much the blind can help, as those clusters are really cheaper (100C vs 7div last I checked).

I am following the guide but I do practically no damage
here is my pob https://pastebin.com/sjAG88r0

Am I doing something very wrong? Is there anything that I can change?

Thanks in advance

Speaking for myself, in previous leagues I'd always start interacting with the league mechanic from early on, and continue thereafter.

This is the first league where, when I see a sanctum entry, I tell myself it's not worth bothering. (I'm still in the acts.)

The rewards just don't seem worth the time spent dodging things (though the sanctum experience seems fairly good -- I'm much higher level for where I am in the acts than I normally am.)

We'll see how things get tweaked over the next couple of weeks.

This is an intelligence-stacking build. Every point of intelligence you get, the damage gets higher. Right now, you're at 1086 int. Work on making it as high as possible.

Buying en Astramentis would be a great first step, as a well-rolled one can give you 120-140 to all attributes. You could also swap your second ring (the one with no int) to a nice Heup of All (1C-2C RN).

Nice String of Servitude!

Buying a cluster with Cold to the Core and two slots for int Split Personnalities will make a big difference too, depending on your budget (that's more pricey -- 150-200C for the three RN).

Your staff has only four sockets. Try to up it to 5 or 6. Remember -- we don't need to link the sockets, except Cyclone and CwC.

You could get a second staff for self-cast against tankier rares.

Doing your fourth lab would get your access to Polymath (or you could respec from Heartstopper). That's a whole bunch of damage right there.

You don't have a Curse yet. This is also a substantial increase on damage. If you lack socket, try putting the curse directly on CwDT while waiting for a four-link with Ball Lightning.

Teh thing with this build is that it's all about small increments that slowly build up. Even in end-game gear, every bit of additionnal intelligence helps.

Not damage-related, but you'd be much tankier if you replaced your two life flasks. Maybe a Sulphur flask for a bit of extra damage.

Hope that helps!

Craft of exile puts crafting a cluster with both at a cost of 1300C and 20k clicks, with a 63% confidence rate if you use alt+aug+regal. Price on trade should go down a bit after a time to 4-5div but crafting seems out of reach.
