You need to use Asphyxia's wrath instead of cadiro's gambit. The increased damage taken line is reversed, so you get a ton of reduced damage taken based on your chill magnitude (like 40-50% damage reduction).
You NEED better rings. You have no chaos res, and your damage is probably abysmal. Get rings with flat attack, and less rarity. With that EHP and DPS, you shouldn't worry about rarity yet.
Why are you building crit with a weapon that doesn't have base crit chance? 22% eff. crit rate with garukhan is horrendous. A bow with T1 crit would double your crit chance.
Iceshot's boss damage is not high. Usually you would run something like snipe to kill bosses. A setup to freeze the boss, then barrage snipe to oneshot them, with a weapon swap to a quiver that gives damage.
Use a rare belt or a double res corrupt HH instead of ingenuity. It's not really doing anything for you with those rings. You can then get a helmet or boots with better max hit.
Overall, I'd say that the order you should replace your gear is rings, then helmet, then belt, then boots. Rings are not too bad this league since you can get a kalandra's touch for like 1 chaos, and buy only one good rare ring.
Your ascendancy nodes are a little fucked. I'd say that sustainable practices is still better than 4% skill speed. Once you get a better helmet, you can get subterfuge mask and get some evasion from it. My biggest issue with your tree is still that you are building crit without a crit weapon.
Your ascendancy node, Relentless Pursuit, disables chill's effect on you. Because you're unaffected by slows, chill has 0% action speed reduction on you.
So with reverse chill, reversing 0% is still 0%. So you're gaining nothing.
When I was doing reverse chill I was wondering why every now and then my speed/chill magnitude would go to 0% for a few seconds. That's because I was using Fall of the Axe Silver Charm, which makes my speed unaffected by slows when the charm's active when I get inflicted with a slow/chill.
The unique charm has the same flavor text as your ascendancy node. So you'll need to respec those nodes into something else.
Just swap ascendancy to deadeye along with the other suggestions above.
What’s the tech for reverse chill
So what's wrong exactly? Cuffs have reflect, chill removed. Garb has reverse. Ice shot has cold damage. What do you feel is not working?
I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?
I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
