Glacial Jackhammer [Video Demo] [Revised]

Im using a similar build at lvl83, playing Glacial + Splash since the patch was released.

I use a high 2hand Mace.
BM keystone build.
Grace, Anger, Wrath auras.
5.4k HP, 80% All Elements, 26% Chaos.
Frostbite curse, or Enfeeble/Time Chains in harder situations.

Glacial hammer 15% + Melee Splash 20% + Fast attacks + WED + Melee phys

Replace Melee phys with Life Leech on harder maps, such as "Cannot regen life")
Or, replace WED if you use Hatred aura. Melee Phys scale better with Hatred, than WED.
I prefer fast attacks because Melee Strike have a high death risk in some end game situations.

If i have the chance to get a 6L i will respec to use Hatred+Haste and use BM gem.

The build is fun, honestly. Got to 63, now using

Potentially with higher phys dmg mace it is possible to wipe blue packs rapidly, but as for now it is a problem. Especially cold res. It takes too long to down them.

Regarding build path i use arrow dodging instead of IR. Mostly personal preference, but with AD those nasty snakes are harmless along with other rangers.

On the side note, which stats are viable with this build? What to aim for?

I haven't been very active in-game lately - my character is currently level 62 though. I've got other build ideas I'm planning on attempting soon - (I have a very hard time focusing on one if I happen to come up with another while playing it :S).

Once I get my hands on a 5-link armor-based chest I'll return to this character and see how effective it is with Elemental Proliferation in the mix.


As for stats, I'd probably recommend going for as much Attack Speed and % Weapon Elemental Damage through gear as you can. Attack Speed gear really adds to the feel of the build - I've tried using slower weapons that yielded more dps as I leveled, but it felt awkward and boring, so I stuck with my Brightbeak until level 58 when I could use the mace below.

Weapon-wise you'll want a really fast 1h Scepter with as high physical as possible. Added cold damage, weapon elemental damage and other similar mods are recommended too.

This is my current weapon, and I wipe out packs quite fast with it (I'm just leveling the faster casting gem, don't mind it ^^):

very similar to my build but I am a shadow :)

I am level 76 at the moment and it is destroying !!
