[1.0.5][v0.2] Cold Snap Build - Romira's Banquet - Perma Freeze - 3rd video available !
|
After lot of tries, i can said Cold penetration is mandatory :)
My current setup: Cold Snap Faster Casting Concentrated Effect Added Cold Damage Cold Penetration Life Leech The Blacksmith was frozen half of the time (never frozen without Cold Pen). And i can swap concentrate effect for IAoE/Elemental Proliferation for changing a little the gameplay. |

I'm not so sure Added Lightning on Coldsnap is that great because of the duration on the shock. You are looking at about a 1 second duration on an enemy with about 8k life with a max level added lightning. It isn't like Freezing Pulse where you are constantly hitting with the lightning damage on three fast projectiles at once. I've been experimenting with getting shock on a coldsnap build though:
Shock Nova Q20 - Multiple Traps - Trap - Elemental Prolif. - Added Lightning Q20 You pretty much cancel out your backdraw of shock nova with multi traps, the dead zones. At max level multiple trap does not reduce the damage enough to make this useless (30% trap more mod cleans it up too). Then use Shock Nova Q20, 50% shock chance with the 5% shadow passive and the taming. The thing about this one over a Coldsnap casted one is you got about 1100-1200 lightning damage without including the taming added damage, and doing the shock calculation on a 8000 life enemy that's a little over 4 seconds on a single shock stack not including shock nova's bonus to duration by 60% at Q20. I just don't see it working on this build though, I have an extra 5L because I'm using a Taryn's instead on my Coldsnapper. Usually what I've been doing is throwing the traps between casts of my Coldsnap and usually quite a few enemies get shocked. Last edited by jaku78#6931 on Jan 21, 2014, 2:20:29 AM

"I just do a little session trying shocks with my Added Lightning Q20 + Conductivity. Shock seems to work fine on trash mob (around 2s shosk) but doesn't work well on blue and i don't speak about res mob and bosses. I'm not sure too about shocks on Cold Snap but we need more experimentations ;) |

I see. You may have a point. Against rares, I rarely see Shock stacks. It works when there's whites, and some magic mobs, but those aren't the issue. Hmm.
Still, with Proliferation, maybe? And it's sorta like Mana Leech for those using Berek's. For now, I'm just level 21, and I can't use the ring yet :D So I can't help out the build except theory-crafting.

"np, we are here to improve it together ;) I have bought berek´s ring but i dont like the leech with it, i dont like the part of chance needed to work. Not possible to leech correctly on res mobs and bosses. |

" Way I see it, if you lose the Life Leech gem for more Cold Damage / Cold Penetration, you'll also Freeze better. It's win-win. Also, don't forget Proliferation adds to the Freeze Duration (AKA: Lowers the amount of damage you need to trigger it, too).

I think i have found the "best" gems setup for my build:
The 3 setup i have tested are: Cold Snap Cold Penetration Faster Casting Life Leech Then: 1) Concentrated Effect + Added Cold Damage = The most powerful setup but AoE is too small (6605 DPS +10% AoE) 2) Concentrated Effect + Increased Area of Effect = The most balanced setup (4930 DPS +51% AoE) 3) Added Cold Damage + Increased Area of Effect = The biggest AoE (81%) but DPS is 3909. I have choose the second option. Note: My Cold Snap is only lvl 17 currently (same for Added Cold Damage) so the max DPS is not reached at this time. Currently lvl 78, i will be 79 or 80 this week end and Cold Snap will be lvl 18. I'm running lvl 68 maps. I have also try more berek's Grip ring and i can say it's hard to kill reflect mobs with it while i have no issue with life leech gem. Stay tuned.

Lvl 79 now and finally i choose the 1st setup for my Cold Snap, more powerful and easy to swap with IAoE or Ele Proli.
My cold snap will lvlup next time i will play :) |
|
|
I have bought Cold Snap 20/20, Added Cold Damage 20/20 and Cold Penetration 20/20.
The build works very well, i like to play it :) When i will be lvl 80, i will start to make videos. |
