This PoE 3.11 Harvest Shadow CoC Ice Nova Assassin Fast Build is pretty much unkillable with GG Gear in defensive version, cause you got so much defensive layers and still shred Bosses in fully juiced T16 within some seconds, or delves to Depth 1000+. You have pretty good clearspeed while mapping and dodges attacks and spells via Cyclone.

 

Warning!

The Build starts feeling okay, if you good a Cospri and Gear that's worth like 50ex, mostly selfcrafted and with atleast 20/20 skill gems in Cospri and 6 Link . Then you can comfortable farm yellow maps and red Tier maps, but the Bosses can take a while.

It clears all content fast and red tier bosses good at a somewhere like 100ex

If you want quick and save farm Sirus 8, Uber Elder, ultra juiced T16's and everything else, you have to spent like 300ex+

Skill Tree

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

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

Gems Setup

6-Link CoC setup

Cyclone (21/20) - Hypothermia (21/20) - Inspiration (20/20) - Awakened Cast On Critical Strike (6/) - Ice Nove (21/23) - Increased Critical Strikes (21/23)

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 (4/20) - Precision (21/) - Herald of Ice (21/20) - Vaal Discipline (21)

+ Aspect of the Spider on Gear

try to vary with Precision to get it as high as possible with having atleast 50+ Mana left to cast permanent your Cyclone and Vortex

Vaal Discipline for if you Need it in a Situation between Boss phases with no Mobs.

4-Link Movement and Vaal RF for dps

Flame Dash (20/20) - Faster Casting Support (20/20) - Withering Step (20/20) - Vaal Righteous Fire (21/)

use Vaal RF on Bosses for more dps, dont use the normal RF

4-Link cwdt setup

CWDT (1/) - Frost Bomb (1/) - Immortal Call (3/) - Tempest Shield (1/)

IC for less Damage taken, Frost Bomb for -res on Mobs and Tempest Shield if your Block Chance isn't capped.

3-Link Cospri setup

Frostbolt (21/23) - Ice Nova (20/20) - Energy Leech (20/20)

swap in Frostbite (21/) instead of ES Leech gem if you got the Thread of Hope

3-Link Vortex setup

Vortex (20/20) - Bonechill (20/20) - Arcane Surge (8/20) 

Awakened Unbound Ailments (5/) increaes the chill and shock effect if you got the Cluster Jewel node "Cold Conduction"

 

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.

Cospri's Malice

- dont get one with Resolute Technique!!!

- watch in pob how much attack speed you will get with the Range on it

18% increased Critical Strike Chance
Gain a Frenzy Charge after Spending a total of 200 Mana

- a corrupted one with frenzy after spent 200 Mana is an easy way to get Frenzy charges while mapping and ob Bosses, but keep aour aps in mind! ~12more dps!

- a corrupted one with inc. critical strike chance (local mod) lets you get the possibility to drop inc. crit strikes gem and take Inspiration. I only recommend it if you can keep your crit Chance near 100% with cyclone and Ice Nova during fights ~ 33% more dps

Shield

Stat Priority:

- 250+ Energy Shield

- Recover #% of Energy Shield on block

Alternative Crafting if you want also Tailwind for the 10% more attack speed and the 30% Movementspeed:

1) get a pair Sorcerer Boots with Cooldown Recovery Speed (shaped/crusader) or Tailwind (Hunter) as a single Influenced mod on it. It doesn't matter if its rare or magic

2) get random boots with the Influenced mod you're missing on the other one as a single Influenced mod on it. It doesn't matter if its rare or magic

3) Use a Awakener's Orb to guarante that the Influenced mod on the random boots will transfer to the the sorcerer boots.

4) Now you get a pair of sorcerer boots with guaranted 2 Tailwind + Cooldown Recovery Speed as a mods. The rest of the stats will get Random. Luckily I hit on mine such good stats.
