Build Overview

Strengths and Weaknesses
Arctic Armour can have its damage scaled into the millions! It is one of the hardest hitting skills in the game. - Fun infinite ignite loop using
Self Immolation and 
Cracklecreep. We are essentially an ignite aura bot. - Gemling makes scaling Arctic Armour easy with the bonus quality from
Crystalline Potential and the extra skills from 
Advanced Thaumaturgy.
- Reflect builds take damage to deal damage. There are some attacks that will one shot you even on the tankiest of characters. There is a learning curve to reflect builds! Expect to die some as you figure this style out.
- Arctic Armour only works on melee strikes. There are plenty of moments you fight enemies that arctic armour doesn't work on. There is a learning curve for this build. that sucks more than most reflect builds.
- Not really the best leveling build. You will a from nothing for
Pain Attunement to to be able to start this leveling journey early. - Cracklecreep spread radius cant be scaled. You are stuck butt hugging most enemies to get the initial spread going.

Initial Leveling Setup
Full Campaign
End Game
This is how you start leveling the build as EARLY as possible. This will require a from nothing for Pain Attunement to get setup as fast as possible. To level this point I leveled as 
Essence Drain and 
Contagion. You can follow this amazing DeadRabb1t guide to level until this point.

Core Items
Cracklecreep
This is how we are getting our ignite to infinite loop and spread. This item is required for the build. Get one with as much fire damage as possible. You are not able to scale the radius so don't bother trying with corruption or 
Ingenuity.

Leveling Items
Doedre's Tenure
An amazing amount of spell power to scale Arctic Armour damage. This is one of the best ways to get as much damage as we can during the campaign. We will eventually replace this in end game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Nothing
Required during the early stages of leveling or you won't be able to reach 100% reduced ignite magnitude on yourself. At higher levels in the campaign we replace this. Only buy this if you want to start leveling as soon as possible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crown of the Victor
+1 Skills to arctic armour. It's all our damage and we need this scaled during the campaign. We use this until end game when we swap to 
Veil of the Night.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Titanrot Cataphract
Amazing armour item for the campaign. We are taking a decent amount of hits since its a reflect build. Not required at all but an easy grab for loads of armour.

Once you get to this point and have everything setup the gameplay is pretty simple.
Stand next to enemy to get melee hit. Once that happens you have an ignite on you for 4 seconds. Run from enemy to enemy to attach your ignite onto them. Don't need to get hit again as long as you have the infinite ignite loop happening.
