Build Overview

HOW THIS BUILD WORKS

In simple words, when running maps with this build, we cast Frost Wall on enemies,chilling and freezing them in place. Then we cast Fireball into the same area, releasing a large number of projectiles (don't be afraid because of ~~FIRE~~ tag, because we use Blueflame Bracers gloves that gives 100% fire to cold conversion. Frost Wall destroys, dealling massive area damage and each projectile ricochets and continues to deal damage, creating massive area coverage for clearing monsters.

When our two Cast on Freeze gems are charged, they spawn two BIG Comet that deal massive damage. Additionally, even at level 70, this build already has a decent critical strike chance. Every time we deal critical damage, Elemental Storm spawn, dealing cold damage while also slowing and freezing enemies and when you have completed 3 ascendancy trials you will spawn this elemental storm every 1 second and there will be a lot of them and in boss fights there can be like 5 or 6 elemental storms damaging the boss in the same time so that's a lot of damage.

IMPORTANT ITEMS

In this build i use two uniques, Crest of Ardura for #% Increased Cooldown Recovery Rate (we need that to cast Elemental Storm more often) and Blueflame Bracers for 100% of Fire Damage Converted to Cold Damage.

Also in this build you should have 160+ spirit, to be able to use 2x Cast on Freeze and Arctic Armour with Clarity. In the campaign we get 100 spirit and 60 you can easy find on items (buy them), i have it on amulet and body armour.

Jewels can be any with Critical Hit Chance or Critical Hit Damage or Cold Damage/Penetration.

All the other rare items should be with resistances/maximum life/mana regeneration rate

MANA REGENERATION IS IMPORTANT HERE

In this build we have 3 trigger spells and each requires mana to use. Especially Elemental Storm because when you have unique shield, Rain Dancer passive and Ingenuity support - these storms will appear every 1-1.5 sec and spend your mana. That's why mana regen is super important in this build.

Mana regeneration is achieved through several sources: passive skill tree nodes, gear affixes, and ascendancy bonuses. Specifically, the Constant Gale ascendancy passive provides a 10% cast speed boost and 20% more mana regeneration. Additionally, the Arctic Armour and Clarity buff skills not only provide increased mana regeneration but also deal cold damage and freeze nearby enemies when they attack you. They together grant a 30% boost to mana regeneration, making them essential for this build.

YOU SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO DESTROY ICE WALLS

Our main source of damage is Fireball destroying Frost Wall so if your fireballs are weak and can't destroy walls - your clearspeed and boss damage ~~sucks~~.

That's why we need a lot of Fireball projectiles, which will damage these walls. On the passive tree we pick Psychic Fragmentation and near small passives for #% chance for Spell Skills to fire 2 additional Projectiles and also we have three support gems linked with Fireball for more projectiles (and chain if you have 5link).

BOSS FIGHTS PLAYSTYLE

In boss fights everything is clear.

1) When the boss spawns - use your Frost Bomb and Hypothermia curse for Cold Exposure (Frost Bomb mechanic) and -%# to Cold Resistances (Hypothermia mechanic).

2) Use Eye of Winter to inflict Critical Weakness on Hit (until you got 10%)

3) Use Frost Wall and detonate them with your Fireball but don't cast Fireball too often (use only when you have 2 Unleash charges). If you don't have 2 charges - just continue using Frost Wall and Frost Bomb (when cold exposure expires)

4) Also you can use Flame Wall for a bonus damage against bosses (make sure your projectiles go through fire wall)
