[2.0] Double Crit Freezing Pulse (Budget and Beginner Friendly!)
" I have a lot of life and ES from items and have a 7% life jewel. I would say if you are having life problems then go for the Cruel Preparation notable right above witch. I did this for a while and spec'd out of it later to get more damage. |

Hey all. Updated the OP with my specific jewels and a video of a 80 map (Wasteland) with the group! Fun session, shenanigans ensued.

I've been following this build (currently level 73), having lots of fun so far watching things shatter :)

Just wondering, how much you paid for your wands?
I just bought: Now i am kinda broke... (paid 20c...!!) Still have to look for an upgrade for my other slot: Lol! The rest of the 'end-game' content will be available along with a heap of new stuff when the game launches in a few months time. From what I've seen it's going to be awesome. - Michael_GGG Last edited by tobes111#6962 on Aug 9, 2015, 3:55:41 AM

" Glad you like the build! Hypothermia is totally legit. You can use Assassin's Mark in place of Elemental Weakness to generate power charges and then slot in hypo over pcoc. The reason I started using ele weakness is because my party had 2 RT users so assassin's mark felt like a waste of a curse, but I still wanted a way to generate power charges. The only issue I really have with hypothermia is that if you're one or two shotting packs (which is what the GMP setup is partially for, killing packs) it's not a big difference yet GMP with PCOC lets me generate power charges easily 1 on 1 with a boss. My GMP set up is kind of a utility set up. For instance, against some bosses there are few adds or even none like crematorium or village ruin. Against these bosses I can still maintain full power charges the whole fight just by occasionally hitting them with the GMP set up, and in no regen maps I can slot in mana leech in the GMP set up and just hit a boss a couple times with it to get both mana and power charges. Hypothermia is definitely a sweet gem for pack clearing though and if you're having trouble clearing packs with the PCoC setup (or if you are the primary DPS in groups and find your groups are just not killing things fast enough) I definitely recommend it! " Mmm, I do not remember what I paid to be honest. I would say to look for wands with 80+ crit for spells, 25+ projectile speed and one other offensive affix like adds cold damage to spells, global crit multi, or cast speed, and then craft spell damage onto it with catarina. At least that is what I did. Last edited by mistermoo33#7854 on Aug 9, 2015, 5:46:33 AM

Thanks for the tips.
Btw I just used all my refund points to refund from sniper to blood siphon to trickery then got rid of the inteligence and strength node. I preferred to go down to get quickness, those 2 crit chance nodes before quickness and then left to get back snipoer blood siphon and trickery. Dunno if this is better but..

hmm running into a new problem now.
Mana issues Not sure how to sustain freezing pulse at 69/cast... :( I have to slot a mana leech gem in? The rest of the 'end-game' content will be available along with a heap of new stuff when the game launches in a few months time. From what I've seen it's going to be awesome. - Michael_GGG

" Hmmm... That's odd, I'm only spending 63 per cast. My 5 link has Freezing Pulse, Power Charge on Crit, Greater Multiple Projectiles, Spell Echo and Cold Penetration. You could take off the cold penetration for a cheaper support like added cold or hypothermia to address your mana issues. Alternatively, turn off clarity so you have a lot of unreserved mana (50%) and use a surgeon's eternal mana flask to sustain yourself. Finally a lot of jewelry can help, specifically elreon rings or jewelry with mana regeneration and flat mana. |

hmm i am using faster cast speed instead of cold pen on a 6 link..
i just bought: Don't mind not having cold pen and replaced it with mana leech due to mana problems hehe Gotta say loving this build atm.
