i want to share my build with the poe community
i tried to make a build that was able to do every content in the game.
This crit build that uses ice nova for AoE and freezing pulse for single target dps.

Why play this build?

KEY IDEA BEHIND THE BUILD



UPDATED
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have changed my skill tree to put mana reserve to now use both assassin mark + warlord mark to generate mana leech and life leech and give me both charges. but requires me to have a lvl 4 enlighten and lvl 21 blood magic to use discipline + actic armour on my life.

while assassain mark + warlords with blasmeny on aura.

this build clear speed is almost instant kill on normal mobs. because if u crit everything dies.


and redid my gem for more dps because no lnoger need mana + life leech gem on nova

i use both ice nova and freezing pulse because i dont like changing gems in mid fight.
and ice nova deals enough damage to kill everything in the game t15 maps you still one shot normal + magic mobs with one or two crit. huge aoe because i dont use conc effect.

and freezing pulse to kill bosses and extra life rare packs that did not die to my ice nova crit.

UPDATED v2

switched cwdt set up to boots
cwdt lvl 20 - ice golem - tempest shield - immortal call

switched curse auras to shield
blasphemy - assassin's mark - warlord's mark

for a more simple play style with out worry no manual casting anything.

can show something vido?

I've tried out this build for a couple of days.

It is pretty effective, kills very well and handles most packs and bosses fine.

What got me interested initially was the non-reflect when using chaos damage with freezing pulse, which happens to be my favourite skill. :)

Using freezing pulse builds in the past has usually resulted in plenty of RIP's because of reflect from killing off-screen monsters, but this build fixes that problem nicely.

It clears packs well with ice nova, if a little slower, but quite effectively nevertheless.

The freezing pulse makes short work of knocking bosses down, it's strong and hits hard.

A good fun build, thanks for posting it up.

The damage seems mediocre for a lowlife build with 6L. But hard to say how good the clearspeed is without videos.

Have you thought about dropping ice nova and just using FP-Echo-Empower-ICD-LL- and switching between LMP and Slow Proj for 6L?

You could also sustain mana on non-curse immune maps with Blasphemy-Warlords, which would require you to put on a Doedre ring.

Also if you're not taking advantage of poison much, why not use a regular spell damage dagger for non-reflect maps and link Herald of Ice - Ice Bite to generate FCs (you'll be able to shatter without Consuming Dark)?

The build clears packs pretty fast, Matrix. Not as fast as the Aim_Deep Supernova build, but not too far behind.

The problem [for me, and maybe with other players] with strong Freezing Pulse builds has always been reflect, mainly from the monsters that you don't see until it's too late.

Even in "non-reflect" maps I've found that it usually only takes a couple of reflecting monsters to down you if you don't see them and take precautions quickly enough.

For this reason, converting the majority or all of the FP skill to chaos damage does away with the reflect problem almost completely.

However, this means that the Consuming Dark dagger must be used along with the Pyre ring to get this happy state, afaik.

Unless you know of a different way, that is.

Dropping Ice Nova is a good idea imo, as it doesn't kill nearly as quickly as a good strong Freezing Pulse will. FP with LMP is a really good skill.

i have updated the build for more easy farming and faster clear speed + safe.

thank you trying out my build and giving me feedback.

reason i dont drop ice nova because my aura aoe is almost same as my ice nova aoe. so i can just dash into pack with fortify and kill everything and get charges very quickly.
with FP i have to be outside the pack shooting and it doesnt clear effectively because strays get away.

I was testing this build and it was performing well, until the new 2.1.1d patch.

Then the lights went out.

Because the build utilizes all of it's life with the blood magic gem it reacts by closing down your light like in a low-life situation.

To counteract this I moved a few things around, dumped Blood Magic and Discipline.

The build still performs very well though.

I now run: Shield: > Warlord's, Blasphemy, Assassin's Mark. All Lvl 18.

Gloves: > CWDT 4, Imm Call 6, Inc.Duration 20, Frost Wall 12.

Boots: > Vaal Skellies, 20 Ice Golem 20, Flame Totem 20, Minion and Totem Elementary Resistance 20.

The Gloves are setup for 'auto defense' when i'm hit, the boots for Boss help and distraction/meat-shield and the shield for the 2 Aura's.

It's an interesting build, there is no reflect to worry about and the damage with both Frost Nova and Freezing Pulse is solid.

She clears packs and Bosses very well.

In place of Frost wall I was using Enfeeble for a while, as FWall is a little quirky at times, but works well mostly.

Thanks for the build, playing a Freezing Pulse char is great without having to even think about reflect.
