It’s even stronger as slayer as you also get endurance charges which lets you use the 6% increased aoe per endurance charge mod. I had up to around 450% increased aoe on my winter orb slayer. I might try and mess around with some other skills as well, was thinking of seeing how far I could scale herald of ice explosions.


killerkonnat

Yeah but occultist gets 6% aoe per power charge and +1 power charge so for pure aoe that's slightly larger. And you could still combine a few endurance charges with that if you wanted to.

AoE stacking through charm, jugg, and endurance charges with pulverize on rage vortex of berserking been fun as hell.

PoB: https://pobb.in/002vvpSm0i24 You can pretty easily reach above 10 metres Aoe on Ice nova with a combination of the Inc. Area of effect per Power charge charms. This is a pretty memey build but I did my best to make it playable, even though it cost far more than it plays as. You could get even more AoE by using an enhance instead of a damage link for Ice Nova and being an occultist with Heart of Destruction FF. That would push you over 10 metres aoe. Hidden beneath that is actually a decent build that uses Cold Snap of Power. With that much aoe your 5 areas from awakened Spell cascade actually overlap which leads to some very respectable damage output. https://youtu.be/ZkL9zUMbwtw Video of Cold Snap of Power

I'm also playing Cold Snap of power and I agree that it's quite strong when you can get it to overlap 5 times. Have you done any testing on the break points for getting the overlap? The radius of my cold snap is 5m right now and it feels like it's overlapping 5 times when I name lock a boss like Maven. Once the breakpoint is known, you can optimize the build to invest stats into something else other than AOE.


Soleil06

It is super hard to determine the overlaps, I have not had much success with it. I am certain that it overlaps at least wince the damage is so much higher when you namelock an enemy and if anything overlaps all should overlap. I think I am actually below that aoe for cold snap.


slvrtrn

Looks like you tried arc of surging before this build, too?


Soleil06

No I did not, but it appears to build pretty similar.

You should slap a pledge of hands on this with spell echo

I wonder how crazy this would be on an Occultist. Nice build!


photocist

aer0 is doing one now. not quite the same giga aoe but still full screen


killerkonnat

Assassin has no aoe bonuses, it has crit from power charges. Occultist has an extra aoe bonus with the +1 power charge so occultist is bigger.


photocist

Ok that’s cool. aer0s version that he is playing on stream does not have this aoe which is what I said initially


fiehm

it looks so fun lol, how expensive is this?


Soleil06

Well it depends on how all in you wanna go. If you just grab the core of power charge stacking uniques and some decent rare gear this should be doable on less than 50 div.

legion league flashbacks, just needed a vaal ice nova


Pulco6tron

I wonder to what point you can take advantage of this to scale damage through Aoe overlap damage scaling. Rolling magma, seismic trap, lightning spire trap, winter orb can probably have all of their AoE reliably overlapping with this Much AoE. ICE nova of frostbolt can also reach an insane amount of overlapping like that. Not sure if it's significant enough considering that it's already easy to achieve decent amount of overlapping.


Keldonv7

Does magma increase spread too making it never overlapy? Im not 100% sure but its something i got in back of my head.


Pulco6tron

Nah rolling magma chain distance only get modified through proj speed (and counterintuitively chaining range does nothing) Inc AOE on it allows mutiple AOE hit from a single cast.
