thank you, super helpful.
on the original winds build of course i chose death’s vigil about 6 hours before i read your guide…
it is ok, you can redeem yourself in Ultimate 
Why does this build invest in both Heart of Asterkarn and Trozan’s Sky Shard? Isn’t that a waste of skill points? What’s the proper rotation, and what role does each skill play in dealing damage? I’m new to the game, so sorry if this is a silly question.

Welcome to the game and to the forum!
I will show how the build plays in videos that I will make soon, now I just need a break from this char because I played it 24/7 for a couple of days 
The reason is the synergy which the set “Awakened Mythical Eastern set” gives, when you channel winds of asterkarn you can reduce the cooldown of Trozan Sky Shard so you can cast it quicker.
Winds of asterkarn = AoE + sustain
TSS = single target nuke(s)
And waste of skillpoints… the total point investment is 15 due to all the item +skills bonuses. IF you were to spend those 14 (you still need to use a skillpoint on some skill to proc devotion) points elsewhere, to beef Winds of Asterkarn will not make up for the damage loss not having TSS.
Rotation is basically just cast Bonechilling Cry, cast TSS on mob, Channel WInds of Asterkarn, cast TSS, Channel Winds… etc
This “skill reset” has existed before in this game, but on very few skills and items, now with this new DLC many items and skills has that, which makes up for interesting combo builds and gameplay. Here is another example which I am planning to make an endgame build around
when you attack you can reduce cooldown to soldier skill overguard (makes you block more often and block more dmg) and when you block you reset cooldown to TSS… fun synergy - you will basically spam TSS (at the cost of not having any resistance reduction of the stackable type -x% in any of your masteries…)

First of all, thank you for this guide.
I encounter some problems with Ice Talons. I’m running the game on a PC and using the mouse for navigation and moving. Whenever the mouse pointer target an attackable NPC or a crate, my character halts and start firing at NPC or crate, even tho it’s out of range. (a bug?)
Even more trouble after transition to Winds of Asterkarn. I want to run in close to a group of enemies to debuf and start hitting with Winds of Asterkarn.
Any solution you found for that?

Have “move to” on LMB and your skill (ice talons) on RMB
Destryoing objects in wereform can be tricky, I used leap for that, or just transformed out - hit thing in human form - transform back. I think it is not polished yet since you can not use auto attacks in wereform… hopefully it will be smoothen out in future hotfixes and patches.
welcome to the forum!
AWESOME guide, thank you! I am trying to modify it as much as I can for HC difficulty and doing well so far. If you could give me any tips that would be much appreciated!
yeah we discussed HC in this post [FoA 1.3.0.3] Beginner build guide Cold Caster Evoker with the Awakened Eastern Set - #36 by GIJW
Great guide, thanks for posting!

Thanks I have some updates to do, but I am working on another build and guide now (needed to take a break from the evoker hehe)
Let me know if you have questions
I’ve got some plans to do this as a zealot, and I levelled a reaver with WoA as I didn’t want to do RoS again.
But my next character will most likely be winds - by then hopefully I can ask some relevant questions and you’ll of ironed out the creases!
Heya, been working on this build for a while now since I saw the Awakened Eastern set. Looked like fun, so while I wasn’t the first to post about it I would like to contribute: For the set, I suggest based on my experience, is to swap out the Amatok’s Grip relic for the Icebreaker Relic, which supplements the Damage Reduction from the Death’s Whisper hood in favor of Mythical Eyes of the Primordial Storm. Getting that extra attack speed and +3 onslaught stacks has made it do so much additional damage, while not losing out on the defense from the helmet.

Welcome to the forum!
Yeah I have not updated my “target fantasy goal” build yet, and I have the same concusion as you - keep the Icebreaker relic and use the primordial storm helmet is the best combo for dmg and tankyness
Glad to see others have come to those conclusions as well 
EDIT: I updated my “target fantasy” build with what I have so far (need to work on those ascended affixes hehe)

Hello, again. This is the version I’ve worked on with the assistance of Legrad. I am really satisfied with this build, just need to flesh out ascensions for some more HP but over all I think it is practically complete. Maybe upgrade the belt from Vitality to Corrupted peaks for more BCC points and Cold Damage.
Given you’ve already made the full forum post about the build don’t see a reason to make a new one. I’ve completed up to SR34 with no issues, sure there are more improvements but this build is awesome and while I wish I was the first one to post it , at least I can contribute in some way. May the Eastern Winds be at your back!

Sure there is, we often have separate threads about beginner/leveling builds and “final” builds Especially if you have videos etc
Nightforged set kinda eluded me, sice it is more WPS oriented but its proc is really nice
Hello, your build looks fantastic. Would it be possible to share your save file, please? I went for a pure physical conversion, but I’m having some minor mana issues and still need a bit more OA. I think your build is better
Sure! This is the most recent one I have.
_Evelo.zip (1.2 MB)
Would you give me feedback on my zealot I’ve planned? I don’t want to post a different class without first asking
sure go for it
Is rolling the right conduit RNG, can you reroll affix now? Thank you!
I’m unsure on the right amount of OA (cunning xd), due to the low uptime of ascension. I’ve also seen this augment setup before with the silvercore bolts is it for the racial?
