Build Overview

This build uses Glacial Lance as our main skill for both mapping and bossing.

Normally Glacial Lance has very bad map clear, but because of a neat interaction between Voltaic Mark, Cast on Freeze, and Herald of Thunder, we essentially are able to recreate the Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder chaining effect from 0.1.

This build has very good map clear (though not as good as Lightning Spear) and can have T4 Pinnacle Boss 1-Shotting capabilities if geared well. You can also use Wind Serpent's Fury for even easier single-target damage if you wish to do so.

Overall it's a pretty simple build that is essentially Lightning Spear with a twist. This build is for anybody who loves freezing effects and misses the double heralds from 0.1 or hipsters who want to play Lightning Spear without actually playing it.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Great Mapping Capabilities
  • Very cheap to start with only 1 required Unique
  • Good Single-Target with enough funding
  • Not Lightning Spear
  • While it is cheap to start off, it will be expensive to reach the ceiling
  • Single-target is a bit tricky and requires a bit of set up if you aren't using Wind Serpent's Fury
  • You will be pretty close range to mobs quite often, so you need to have good Rhoa Mount management or else you will get knocked off a lot.

Weapons

This build uses a weapon swap (1 for mapping and 1 for bossing) but the weapons for the 2 swaps are essentially the same.

Best in Slot offhand will be Sacred Flame if you can afford it. If not, just use an Omen Sceptre for the critical weakness debuff you put on enemies for free crit.

Double Soul Core of Ticaba are going to be the highest DPS ceiling, but feel free to slot in Greater Rune of Alacrity for skill speed if you want because Glacial Lance is SLOW.


Accessories

Beacon of Azis will be your BIS amulet.

For Rings you will want to have as much flat damage as possible. Prioritize Physical Damage and Cold Damage to Attacks. Since this is a stat hungry build, try to get as much int/dex on your rings as possible. You will want an Unset Ring because you don't have enough skill slots for Orb of Storms. This is a crucial part of your bossing setup so without it, one-shotting Pinnacle Bosses is almost impossible.

Ingenuity will be our highest DPS belt. If you have trouble with survivability, feel free to use a rare belt. Headhunter can work with this build as well.


Armor

You definitely want an EV/ES Body Armor for this build. Use ES equipment for Helmet and Boots. The only reason why my current character doesn't have ES boots is because I am poor/couldn't find any gear with the stats I need.

For our Gloves Hand of Wisdom and Action so far is giving me the most damage, especially when paired with Trinity if you choose to use it. Perhaps a really well rolled pair of gloves with Triple Flat Damage to Attacks and Crit Damage could be better.

For our Bossing Setup in Weapon set 2, swap the Rare Helmet for The Deepest Tower to take advantage of low life nodes.


Jewels

Stat priority are as follows

1. Mana % on Kill (You need ONE of these to upkeep mana) if you don't use Mana Remnants.

2. Critical Hit Chance (Only if you are lacking crit. If you feel fine about your crit rate, skip this).

3. Critical Damage

4. Elemental Damage

5. Cold Damage

If you want maximum DPS for bossing, swap out Ice Bite and Perpetual Charge for Execute and Close Combat on your Glacial Lance. Only use Overextend if you have a Stone Charm - if you don't, use Close Combat.

Feel free to use Wind Serpent's Fury for single target and remove Barrage if you would like. It is better single target damage but I personally wanted to avoid using it for this build, which is why I don't run it.

Using Trinity will be the highest DPS option but you will have to swap out your Rhoa Mount if you want to use it. Also if you want to use Trinity, swap out Deliberation for Volt or Close Combat.

For Orb of Storms, you will want to have Brutality linked to it, because we use a Damage on Full Life setup against bosses. If Orb of Storms does not have Brutality on it, it will damage the enemy and no longer let you benefit from the Damage on Full life nodes.

Weapon Set 1 is for Mapping and Weapon Set 2 is for Bossing.

How it Plays

Mapping is pretty self-explanatory but bossing needs a bit of explanation.

Glacial Lance uses Frenzy Charges for maximum DPS but Barrage uses all of your Frenzy Charges.

So when bossing, this is the rotation you want to use:
1. Either start with 7 Frenzy Charges walking into the fight or get 7 by using Sniper's Mark and your Spear Stab.

2. Use Barrage

3. Use Sniper's Mark.

4. Use Glacial Lance.

5. Repeat if Boss is not dead.
