Path of Exile - Blight League - New Unique Item Analysis - Cold Iron Point
61Cold Iron Point is a new unique item coming in Blight League.
This video is in podcast format - I recommend letting it play in the background while playing a game. Nothing on the screen is important after the first few seconds.
It's easy to underestimate this item by misreading it and thinking that it has the word 'socketed' where it does not. This applies to ALL of your physical spell gems.
Definitive list of all physical spell gems:
Bear Trap
Blade Vortex
Bladefall
Blood Rage
Determination (rubbish gem)
Divine Ire (conversion so not useful)
Dread Banner
Ethereal Knives
Explosive Trap (conversion)
Glacial Cascade (conversion)
Herald of Agony
Herald of Purity
Holy Flame Totem (conversion)
Molten Shell (all damage is fire)
Phase Run
Pride
Punishment (rubbish)
Purifying Flame (conversion)
Seismic Trap (rubbish)
Shockwave Totem (rubbish)
Summon Stone Golem
Unearth
Vulnerability
War Banner
Wave of Conviction (conversion)
Some options to use:
- Pure physical Blade Vortex, with Pride and Herald of Purity, scaling BV damage with Brutality Support
- Physical spells (Blade Vortex, Ethereal Knives, Bladefall) without Brutality, and scaling poison damage
- A Herald of Agony build that uses fast hitting elemental spells (which it adds physical and/or chaos damage to) such as Firestorm or Storm Brand to gain Virulence from range, then lets the Agony Crawler slaughter enemies. This gains the most of all of these build outlines from the extra gem levels from Cold Iron Point.
I made a full video on Herald of Agony during the Synthesis league. All of it still applies. Link https://youtu.be/E7xfiJXTqu0
