Build Overview

IMPORTANT!!!! ALERT!!!! CODE RED!!! READ ME!!!! PLEASE!!!!!: This is NOT an easy build to follow, you need to do everything exactly correct or it'll feel pretty bad. I don't recommend it to inexperienced players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU MISS ANY SMALL PART OF THE BUILD IT WILL BE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hotfix 16 does not nerf the build

How the build works:

This is not an easy build to follow, you need to do everything exactly correct or it'll feel pretty bad. I don't recommend it to inexperienced players

WARNING: You can not get anything that reduces slows on you, chill is still considered a slow. AKA you can't level with Wanderlust

Sierran Inheritance causes effect of chill to be reversed so it speeds you up instead of slowing you

You need a vaal cultivated Shackles of the Wretched with "elements other than freeze you inflict are reflected to you" and the cannot be chilled mod for 6 seconds is removed. If you do not go stormweaver you can get a pair of gloves with the cannot be chilled for 6 seconds mod and just get enough chill duration so it's over 6 seconds long.

You can go any skill you want on stormweaver, can be any weapon, spell or attack, I just like ice shot tbh there is probably better skills to use. I think bear / wolf form or some quarterstaff skills are probably the fastest options due to having high mobility, but if you dont one shot enemies you'll probably die.

You should not get any fire damage on your gear because it will ignite you and kill you, or go ignite immune with Crystallised Immunities

Budget:

This build is definitely a high budget build to get it feeling smooth all around because you lose so much defence from not having a rare chest piece and also losing damage / defence from not having rare gloves. I think it's doable on like a 30 div budget if you are smart with what you buy, but not really recommended.

Gear / skills shown are a snapshot of my character.

FAQ:

How do I solve mana? - Press your mana flask and read the mana flask tech below in gear

Level as whatever you want if you can afford this gear you can afford leveling gear to make it easy

IMPORTANT:

If you want better clear use Cadiro's Gambit but it's less defence. Asphyxia's Wrath gives us massive damage reduction because the enemies chilled by your hits increase damage taken by chill magnitude gets reversed onto us as decreased damage taken.

Widowhail / quiver bonuses does not work with Asphyxia's Wrath

Bow goes in weapon set 2 for Rigwald's Ferocity, optional can also just use Rapid Attacks II instead.

get ES / crit / chill duration on jewels

Heart of the Well with extra cold / chaos damage

Against the Darkness with extra cold / extra chaos if rich, or extra dmg / reduced shock duration

Heroic Tragedy VORANA in the jewel node near Resonance on the tree to get strength to give ES instead of life. Not sure if worth, extremely annoying / near impossible to get a good jewel.
