Ok cool, I concede if he wants to go a thousand ex over budget and spend the rest of the league mindlessly grinding delve to do a 6 man 6000 aul then your build is better..

confirm fb impale is great
explode armour helps clear a lot and seems to negate most on death effects
the clear is ok not amazing

thank you gents for answering the question on topic lol.

appreciate it!

You can do anything on a face breaker cyclone.
I have one currently, spent MAYBE 35-40ex max, if that and have done sirius, uber elder, uber atziri, etc..

A build does not need to cost 2000ex like everyone here is trying to shove at you, nor is meta the only option.

As far as map clear, its not faster than COC imo.

Hope this helps actually answer some questions for you.

If that doesn't work for you, make an archmage storm brand.
Made mine for about 2k fg, and steamrolls all content and is fast!

Just as strong as a herald build.

tbh man, i think i made my dream coc build at the wrong time or in the wrong league. i get rekt and this is by far my most expensive build i think (maybe ED is on par) which sucks because it's something i've always wanted to make and now i still get wrecked so it's a bad impression.

I have your basic 2x cospri's, hatred pen watchers eye, good leather belt w/ 20cdr (high life, res, cdr) perfect helm WITHOUT the -cold res, chill dmg gloves t1 life good res, full t1 life/res/wed + herald of ice ring/pand ammy

so this whole situation is should i invest into awakened coc + cdr boots + attack speed needed on tree/jewels or wherever i need it or is the money better of spent on a new more efficient build?

You need to hit some very specific breakpoints with this build, very specific.
If you do not, the build does not function correctly.

The coc will get tankier with more investment so in the end its up to you, I generally build like this: Find a clear speed and single target kill speed i feel comfortable with and then just build up ehp and mitigation to where that feels good.
If you enjoy this build it can definitely be made to hold its own, but in the current meta there is almost no build that cant be hit by an occasional death farming t15+

But bruh think of how much azurite he's getting doing two or three nodes before having to go and get more sulphite.

sulphite cost caps at 1100 per unit
bruh

Agree with this, started my coc on a budget and it was dodgy af! Ended up metacrafting most of my items and now i simply wont die as long as i hit something. Spend about 500 ex into it fyi
