Overview
This is a cold-conversion caster built around the Liminal Coil wand, which grants damage gained as cold for every curse on the target. Stacking five to six curses through a Blasphemy setup pushes that gained-as-cold figure past 300%, so the Coiling Bolts and the Comets they trigger all inherit a massive cold multiplier. The build freezes constantly and leans on that freeze for both survivability and extra damage.
The engine is a Comet trigger loop. Veric and Vericium let the character generate fire infusions instantly from a sliver of ward, and Remnants supply the cooldown reduction needed for permanent infused-Comet uptime. Spell Cascade triples the Comets and the gem’s quality gives a frequent 10% echo, layering a great deal of burst on top of the wand’s own projectiles. Defensively it runs Mind over Matter with Eldritch Battery, using mana purely as a life pool so that Comet — which spends life rather than mana — is sustained by leech, Sun the Flush, and remnant recovery. After recent tuning the creator reports it handles both clear and single-target comfortably, melting an ~18 million HP boss in seconds.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Enormous single-target — curse-stacked cold conversion plus echoing Comets deletes pinnacle bosses
- Permanent freeze uptime doubles as crowd control and a damage multiplier
- Mind over Matter + Eldritch Battery gives a deep effective health pool and strong recovery
- Huge scaling ceiling from stacked +spell-skill levels (breach amulet, Alder’s Legacy, corrupted Coil)
- Trickster Shard lineage support adds extra projectiles, smoothing both clear and burst
Cons
- Gear-gated: needs a Liminal Coil and meaningful investment to come online (15–20 div pieces, 300 div Alder’s Legacy to fully scale)
- Complex trigger and infusion management (Veric/Vericium, remnants, Spell Cascade)
- Not a league-start build — the cold-conversion identity depends on the unique wand
- Cast speed can feel slightly low without a dedicated roll
Key Skills
- Coiling Bolts (Liminal Coil) — the primary projectile that carries the gained-as-cold conversion
- Comet — triggered burst, tripled by Spell Cascade and boosted by a 10% echo
- Blasphemy curse setup — four-plus curses to maximize damage gained as cold
- Fire infusions (Veric / Vericium) — instant infusion generation for infused-Comet uptime
- Trickster Shard — lineage support adding after-image projectiles for more effective shots
Gear & Anointments
The build is anchored by a Liminal Coil wand, ideally a high roll and eventually a corruption granting +1 cold or chaos skill levels. Spell-skill levels are the main scaling axis, so the creator chases +2 projectile-skill weapons, a breach amulet, Alder’s Legacy and a +1 ring. Mana is the defensive resource via Mind over Matter and Eldritch Battery, supported by big mana rolls (a Kundra’s Touch ring doubles increased mana) and Sun the Flush for damage and survivability. A Raven-touched rune is targeted for a helmet allocation that grants “enemies frozen by you take increased cold damage.” Confirm exact rolls against the source video.
Endgame Notes
The creator plays it at level 96 and frames it as a long-tail endgame build with a high scaling ceiling — additional spell-skill levels, a corrupted Coil, and frozen-enemy cold-damage allocations all push damage well beyond the showcase numbers.
