Emo Foul Mouth Gandalf (Frost Wall)
Self Harming, Dual Cursing Frost Wall Totems

Build Theory Frost Wall is a GREAT skill! It has 100% damage effectiveness which means support gems such as added cold damage do full damage per cast. Also Frost wall is an aoe skill with built in piercing, knock back and block chance vs projectiles! Essentially Frost Wall is a 4 Link gem even before you link it to anything else! Frost Wall is a *reverse noob trap*. Unlike some items or concepts that fool noobs into believing that they are better than they actually are. Frost wall fools noobs into believing that it is actually worse than it really is. Follow this guide so that you won't be that noob. Playstyle This is the most micromanagement intensive build I've ever played! Placing frost wall totems while keeping track of whether you need to purge yourself of accumulated curses and/or shock status makes it a reflexes sensitive playstayle. If you see 10 frogs jumping at you from off screen, you will probably want to get rid of your shock status so that you can take the hit better for example. Timing your cold snaps and monitoring your power charges also takes a bit of attention. Finally, because there simply weren't enough sockets left to use curse on hit I had to cycle curses the old fashioned way. Maligaro's Restraint adds 15% movement speed to the character. So, I decided to add flasks with additional movement speed as well. This means whenever my character is healing from a flask he has 65% movespeed! Great for dodging frogs! My Gear

Essential Items Soul Mantle (5Link) Maligaro's Restraint Flasks Skills Frost Wall: Main damage skill Ball Lightning: Shocks, Gains Power Charges and either add Blind or even more knockback. Cold Snap: Crowd Control, Add a curse or Blind Heralds: Added damage and can also apply Blind (I don't have the right sockets yet) Curses: Assassin's Mark and Elemental Weakness Video Not uploaded yet. Current Stats (level 16 gems, level 68 character) 7k Dps per totem 3k Dps Ball Lightning 3k Average damage Cold Snap 2500 HP currently, but build should reach 4k Life at level 75 as my current boots have no life on them and I can move some passives around to get more life when I get a few more points.

Glad to see you went ahead and posted the build.
Btw have you been able to determine if Shock damage is indeed stacking on totems? |
