Are you still distressed that your build is not strong enough? Let's take a look at the Fastest & Strongest PoE 3.15 Shadow Ice Nova CoC Assassin Endgame build we prepared for you. You can do all content like a joke with some budget. Only thing we cant do is no regn maps and ele reflect.

Quick Jump

Pros & Cons

  • + good single target Dps
  • + dodges attacks and spells via Cyclone
  • + pretty good clearspeed while mapping
  • + immune to crits through Elusive buff
  • + 75/75 Blockchance with Flaks
  • + up to 12k+ ES
  • + ES leech
  • + 30 ES on hit
  • + 5% ES on Block
  • + 5% ES on kill
  • - expensive if you want Endgame Gear
  • - slow start of ES recovery and recovery rate
  • - between Bossphases with no mobs you only got ES recovery and vaal Discipline
  • - cannot do Elemental reflect maps

 

Skill Tree

Ascendancy: Unstable Infusion -> Deadly Infusion -> Opportunistic  -> Mistwalker

Pantheon: I prefer Soul of Lunaris for the avoid and dodge, and Soul of Ralakesh for not to get maimed or blinded

Bandit: Take Alira for crit multiplier and all resistance

Passive Tree & PoB

Path of Building Link

CI Version

https://pastebin.com/MU1J0WTg

  • focused mostly on Defensive
  • max Block
  • 9k+ES
  • Stun immune from Boots enchant

Life Version

https://pastebin.com/iAMw7Sjr

  • "Tanky" 5k Life with huge dps
  • attack capped without flask
  • crit capped only with Diamond Flask and Bottled Faith or crit Watcher's Eye (swap added cold for inc. crit for Budget version)
  • max Dodge
  • stun immune through Boot enchant and helmet craft
  • Blind on hit from Pandemonious
  • weak against random one shots (rare) and Dot effects

Low: https://pastebin.com/BL8BqCnc

rare rings can be added for more ES without sacrificing to much dps or circle of fear with inc. maximum ES as implicit

 

Gems Setup

6-Link CoC setup

Cyclone - Hypothermia - Inspiration - Awakened Cast On Critical Strike - Ice Nove - Increased Critical Strikes

swap in awakened added cold (5/20) instead of Inspiration for a small dps boost, but only if you're still crit capped on cyclone without flasks active

4-Link Aura setup

Enlighten - Hatred - Herald of Ice - Vaal Discipline

+ Aspect of the Spider on Gear

You can skip discipline if you're playing the Life based build

4-Link Movement and Vaal RF for dps

Dash  - Second Wind - Vaal Righteous Fire

4-Link cwdt setup

CWDT - Frost Bomb - Immortal Call - Precision

3-Link Cospri setup

Frostbolt - Ice Nova - Frostbite

3-Link Vortex setup

Vortex - Bonechill  - Arcane Surge - Awakened Unbound Ailments

 

Gear Setup

Helmet

Stat Priority:

  • 250+ Energy Shield
  • -9% Cold Resistance to nearby enemies
  • Resistance / Dexterity / Intelligence / spell block (elder)

Enchant:

  • 40% Ice Nova Damage (~7% more Damage)
  • 30% Reduced Mana Reservation for HoI / Precision

Crafting:

1) get a ilvl 85 Hubris Circlet Redeemer Base, enchanted if you can get one

2) use Perfect Fossil to get 28%+ Quality for more ES

3) spam Dense + Frigid Fossils on it

in terms of dps, -9 cold Resistance is stronger than the 40% dmg enchant

sadly after patchnotes, its atm pretty hard to craft the -9 cold res and we need a redeemer base for it. Chances are really low to hit it with a good amount of ES. With even Resistance on it, its now a wet dream.
