Cold Convert Ice Shot of Penetration Warden

SUMMARY:

This build is my league starter of choice for patch 3.28, "Mirage." It already includes fully fleshed out mid-endgame and late-endgame variants. The guide will continue to be updated as new information becomes available that enhances the build in some way.

This particular bow variant combines the Warden's Tinctures and Ailments tech with a couple of niche items at the start to gain far better clear and damage beyond what's usually accessible, while also fast-tracking into Cold Convert Tornado Shot, one of the strongest blaster builds in the game. Check out the video guide for a quick overview on how the build works.

CAMPAIGN REWARDS & PANTHEON:

• Bandits: Kill All (Kraiten for leveling)
• Major God: Soul of Arakaali (Brine-King for leveling)
• Minor God: Soul of Abberath (Ralakesh for leveling)

REGEX:

At its core, this build plays very much like your conventional elemental hit-based bow build with outstanding clear and even better single-target damage thanks to all the power the Warden ascendancy has to offer. A single Ice Shot of Penetration arrow fires into a pack of enemies, splitting off multiple times AoEing all targets in its path, only to return and pierce through any remaining foes that survive the initial blast. Several automated manaforged links bring about added utility further boosting the main skill's damage. Toggle on Tinctures to quickly dispatch bosses and other dangerous foes otherwise.
