3.25 will bring a massive Buff. Perforate has now 622% dps effectiveness at gem level 20 (previously 265%)
Pretty similar gearing and tree pathing as Boneshatter. You could scale the AoE even further and I think it would have pretty decent clear. Not meta but it was a fun skill to play.
*Path of Building*
pobb.in/MgXhWbjFGPeF
*Support Gems*
Frostblades - Chance to Bleed (Level 1-3)
Perforate - Ruthless - Added Fire Damage (4-16)
Perforate - Close Combat - Melee Physical from 16 onwards
In Act 6 you get Fortify, before that you can use Brutality as a 4th Link. After you get Fortify you take out Melee Physical.
Perforate - Close Combat - Brutality - Fortify
*Aura Setup*
War Banner & Blood and Sand (Act 1)
War Banner & Blood and Sand & Herald of Purity (Act 2)
War Banner & Blood and Sand & Pride
3.25: Herald of Purity & Determination & Blood and Sand
They made some changes to Auras and Mana cost so this needs to be tested. I don't think Pride will fit very well anymore in the Campaign and we can make use of the Sentinels from Herald of Purity with Rallying Cry.
*Utility Gems*
Warlords Mark (to quickly generate Rage against weak monsters)
Vulnerability (your actual curse)
Ancestral Protector - Maim
Leap Slam - Faster Attacks
Frostblink
3.25: You can use Rallying Cry, Intimidating Cry and Seismic Cry to empower your Perforate if you want to.

![[Nerfed] Lvl 1 to Tier 15 | Cold Sorceress Leaguestart Leveling [Patch 0.2]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ai6xUnIwDZs/mqdefault.jpg "[Nerfed] Lvl 1 to Tier 15 | Cold Sorceress Leaguestart Leveling [Patch 0.2]
Run was done in 0.2
Nerf in 0.3:
Frost Wall: Now deals 80% less damage in the first 0.5 seconds of its duration.
Frost Bomb: Now deals 7-11 Cold Damage at Gem level 1 (previously 16-23), scaling up to 238-538 at Gem level 20 (previously 467-701). Now has a Cooldown of 6 seconds (previously 3.5), and now has a 4 second Detonation Time instead of a 3 second Duration before Exploding. Now Chills Enemies as though dealing 300% more Damage, and now applies Elemental Exposure instead of Cold Exposure. It initially applies 20% Elemental Exposure, and 2% per Pulse, up to a maximum of 50%. Quality now provides +0-10% more Maximum Elemental Exposure applied (previously 0-20% increased Cold Exposure Effect).
Cold Snap: Has been reworked, and renamed to Snap. It can now be used on any Orb spell or any frozen, shocked or ignited enemy, causing an explosion of the corresponding damage type and creating a remnant of the corresponding type from enemies. This explosion can chain react to a limited extent from enemies hit that are affected by the same ailment. Now deals 48-540 to 72-810 Cold Damage, 2-27 to 46-512 Lightning Damage, or 17-192 to 26-288 Fire Damage at Gem levels 5–20 (previously 70-670 to 105-1005 Cold Damage). Quality now grants 0-10% chance to spawn an additional remnant (previously 0-20% chance to not consume freeze).
Path of Building

*Act 1 Gems*
Frost Bomb - Spell Cascade - Concentrated Effect or Execute/Controlled Destruction if you dont like the small AoE
Essence Drain - Chain - Zenith/Swift Affliction
Contagion - Unleash - Magnified Effect
I would use Chaos DoT early on mainly for clear then drop those spells when you get Frost Wall at 31.
*Regex*
spell s|t speed|spell d|d block
(spell skill|cast speed|spell damage|increased block chance)
If you like to have more Defence I would use an increased block chance Shield instead of a Focus.
*Gear Progression*
Look for +Levels to Spell Skills Gem at the Vendor. +Levels to Gems will provide flat damage. %increased Damage is important too but I would prioritise additional Levels to Gems over that. You can also get +Levels to Spell Skills on Shields (Focus), Wands and Amulet.
Additional Gem Levels will increase the base Mana Cost significantly. You might have to use Inspiration as a Support Gem.

Done in Patch 0.1.
Build is nerfed in Patch 0.2
*Final Gems*
Hexblast (Without Crit nodes) - Considered Casting - Controlled Destruction - Inspiration
Hexblast (With Crit nodes) - Considered Casting - Chaos Mastery - Inspiration
Bonestorm (Single Target) - Scattershot - Extraction - Arcane Tempo - (Physical Mastery)
Demon Form - Second Wind - Ingenuity
Blasphemy - Despair - Ritualistic Curse - Magnified Effect
Grim Feast - Clarity
Eye of Winter - Unleash - Withering Touch - Persistence
Pure Chaos notable is needed for Eye of Winter to apply Wither with this setup.
*Early Campaign Gems*
Contagion - Unleash - Magnified Effect
Essence Drain - Controlled Destruction - Chain/Swift Affliction
Frost Bomb (before 14, remove when you get Bonestorm) - Spell Cascade
Bonestorm - Scattershot - Brutality
For Bonestorm the notable Cut to the Bone is needed for Armour Break. After, I put Extraction on Bonestorm and once I have allocated Pure Chaos I drop Cut to the Bone.
*Demon Form*
Do not do Candlemass if you want to stack Demonflame. To maintain more Demonflame stacks I include Life Regen in my search string. You can reset your Demonflame stacks by respawning at a checkpoint in the Campaign. Link Second Wind support so you can reenter Demonform once you want to leave it due to having too many Demonflame Stacks. Demonflame gives Increased Spell Damage per stack. The %value increases at certain Level Thresholds. You can cap the Demonflame Stacks with the Mastered Darkness Ascendancy Notable.

![Lvl 1 to Tier 15 | Stormcaller Arrow Ranger Leveling [Patch 0.1]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CfNn5x0fSuo/mqdefault.jpg "Lvl 1 to Tier 15 | Stormcaller Arrow Ranger Leveling [Patch 0.1]
This run was done in Patch 0.1
Patch 0.2: Stormcaller Attack Damage: (140–437)% to Attack Damage: (90–281)%
Stormcaller Arrow - Martial Tempo - Concentrated Effect - Primal Armaments
Before you have a Dualstring I would switch to Scattershot for clear and Concentrated Effect for single target.
Barrage - Premeditation
Herald of Thunder - Lightning Infusion - Elemental Focus - Longshot
Wind Dancer - Clarity
Ghost Dance
Probably better to go Herald of Thunder first and then Wind Dancer.
I show the passive tree and gear at the end of the video after I kill the boss.
*Gear Progression*
Vendor checks for decent bows (%inc Physical Damage, flat Lightning, flat Physical) are pretty important. At 28 you can get the Dualstring Bow which allows you to drop Scattershot support. Pick up all Dualstring Bows no matter what rarity. I would use Blacksmith Whetstones, Artificers Orbs & Storm Runes that I have gathered so far to craft a decent Dualstring Bow. For example a Dualstring with decent flat Lightning/flat Physical are worth investing your currency into. I would continue using that bow until the next tier of Dualstring which is Advanced Dualstring Bow (level 55) unless you get a very good bow before that then I would consider adding Scattershot and using that bow. You can also get flat damage on your gloves, quiver and rings.
*Campaign Resistances*
For Act 1 you want Cold Resistance. In Act 2 you want Lightning Resistance for the final Act 2 Boss. If you do the Elemental Offering (Act 2, Buried Shrines) you can choose a Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire Ring. Vendors can also sell Resistance Rings. If you do not have enough Resistance Rings I would consider gambling for one at the Vendor (Risu at Act 2, Alva at Act 3) if you have sufficient Gold. The Act 3 Boss will cause all 3 Elemental Damage types, but prioritise getting high Lightning Resistance. You can socket Glacial/Desert/Storm to get 12% Cold/Fire/Lightning Resistance.
