In path of exile, a good build can help us play better. Below we will introduce the method of building Cold Snap Vortex Occultist. PROS
PLAYSTYLE When you’re clearing maps, the idea is to drop Vortex on the ground for each enemy pack you encounter, which somewhat limits the build’s clear speed. However, when you have Vaal Cold Snap ready to go, you will literally be running through everything and it will just fall over. However, this is only when the Vaal skill is ready that it gets the clear speed surge. GEM LINKS 1. 6-Link Vortex These links are strictly designed to increase the Damage over Time component of the skill in the best way possible:
2. 3-Link Trigger This set-up is best utilized with a Rare weapon bench-crafted with the modifier: “Trigger socketed spell when you use a skill” to automate all 3 spells, which are all designed to maximize your damage output. The Frost Bomb makes enemies have even less Cold Resistance whilst the Lightning spells are there to consistently overwrite the increased Cold Resistance your Cold Snap & Vortex applies by applying Lightning damage making the enemies have lowered Cold Resistance. Since this mechanic requires your Lightning spells to not deal a single point of Cold Damage when you’ve enabled the EE node, you have to make sure you don’t have any modifier on your gear that makes spells deal Cold damage.
3. 3-Link CWDT & Aura We will be using a generic CWDT set-up which can be tweaked to whatever personal preference you have. I’ve always been a fan of using Immortal Call to further mitigate damage when playing. The aura is there to make us deal more damage over time. Make sure the CWDT is low level, such as level 3, with a maximum of level 5 Immortal Call.
4. 3-Link / 1-Socket Mobility & Aura This set-up requires you to not have a 4-link; if you do have an item 4-linked, make sure you use Orb of Fusing until you get 3-Link / 1-Socket so that the aura is not linked to the Faster Casting, as it will increase the Mana reserved from that aura. The aura should be the Vaal version of Discipline to allow for a “panic” button to get your Energy Shield back up. 4.1. 3-Link
5. 4-Link Mobility This set-up is strictly designed to make clearing faster, especially when you enable the Vaal Cold Snap. Do note that you’ll want the Arcane Surge to be as high as possible, as long as it will provide the extra damage by using Phase Run once, and not require you to cast it multiple times before you gain the Arcane Surge buff. Normally this would be level 5-6, but do check the Mana cost in-game when running this set-up:
6. 4-Link Vaal Cold Snap The Vaal Cold Snap is your “I want to clear fast” button which also generates Frenzy Charges, which further increases your clear speed as well as damage output. The supports used are ultimately designed to increase the damage of your Vortex via Bonechill, which increases the Cold Damage enemies take based of the Chill effect caused by the Cold Snap:
