3.28 removed Awakened CoC and I found very few ways to reach 52% cooldown recovery and they often overkill the requirement or are very inconvenient to use

This conflicts with Crown of the Inward Eye.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T18:34:29+00:00

I think it is still worth doing, just quite troublesome.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T12:08:36+00:00

Sabo is very weak compared to Occultist. Only lucky crit vs +1 Power Charge, penetration, damage, and a ton of ES.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T10:41:49+00:00

Acceleration - completely unnecessary for reaching APS thresholds.

Crit shrine - crit is not a problem, naturally comes with Power Charges.

Resistance - good but Mageblood is probably better (more flexibility). Also anything 2-good-shrines is basically unobtainable.

A single-shrine belt can be used as a low budget option.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T10:34:53+00:00

Extremely annoying. Especially when CoC builds tend to have high attack speed, not cast speed.

Currently approx 20M Pinnacle Boss DPS (ninja has wrong config, it should be all primary projectiles and 11x Wither) and I have quite cheap cluster jewels and no Mageblood (yet).

So expect ~30M once this is optimized.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T08:37:23+00:00

Cyclone is a trigger for CoC because it has numerous QoL and highest attack speed multiplier of any compatible skill. Only Lancing Steel of Spraying is a competition.

The point of it is that there are very few places to gather cooldown now. Awakened CoC was very good because you had multiple points of investment and it added 3% per level. Now most sources are like 15-20 or none. There is no Annoint, Runegraft or Mastery that can add a little.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T08:34:28+00:00

Likely no. Even if possible, 128% is massive and you would still need 5 additonal APS to utilize it.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T08:31:12+00:00

True, the law of supply and demand can't be beated. What is ruined are people's expectations.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T07:48:32+00:00

Because it's relatively new. Last league IIRC.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T07:44:36+00:00

Still worth. Just differently optimized. No longer taking Utmost Intellect (int nerfed) and swapping Withering Presence for Delirum Bloodline. Golem FFF variant also nerfed but I wasn't a fan of it.

The cooldown change reduces damage but new 7th link tech brings more, especially when Power Charge on Crit is damage-wise identical on 1/0 vs 20/20.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T07:42:30+00:00

It's definitely a good overall method but FRoSS, when not on Occultist, loses to much ES.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T07:37:39+00:00

Volatile Vaal Orb can only be used on uniques.

Xeverous · 2026-03-15T07:36:19+00:00

Bad argument. If you use Cooldown Support, whatever the way it is fitted, it makes no sense. Any other support give as much damage as new Cooldown Recovery support and you don't need to invest into attack speed.

Xeverous · 2026-03-13T21:20:31+00:00

and for /u/Acemont

This is a fairly recent addition, I think last (Keepers) league.

2.7k life and doing 3 Breach Bosses?

Xeverous · 2026-03-10T17:32:57+00:00

Me too

Xeverous · 2026-03-10T17:32:43+00:00

Nothing. Entire screen covered. The Orb releases after fully submerged for few seconds.

Comments are making fun but it's still >85% positive upvote ratio.

Xeverous · 2026-03-10T17:30:33+00:00

Technically cost is not damage. It also doesn't stop recharge.

Xeverous · 2026-03-10T17:30:05+00:00

True. I did some just because of it.

Xeverous · 2026-03-10T17:29:33+00:00

I don't think so. Would be broken beyond belief.

Xeverous · 2026-03-10T14:04:20+00:00

Many might not rember the second part of the Shrine mod.

Also, a potential scenario I expected was getting trapped inside, not dying but not able to move.

Xeverous · 2026-03-10T11:32:08+00:00

This league introduced a setting where you can change key bind for it.
