~~ New support gem: Hypothermia = The Soul Taker BUFF !! <---

+BM+Hyp'o=Hatred without mana?

Any good reason to go full BM??!! :D

Gem seems decent, BUT kinda useless... if you get enough cold damage to chill bosses then you will allready oneshot every other monster in game which makes the gem pointless 99% of the time and usefull against bosses only.

You have to use a gem slot. AND Soul Taker is not the only item that can chill. I mean, EVERY cold spell is "buffed" by this. But in fact, not really, because you'll always have to decide if you want to use this, or something else :-V (even tho, it looks really solid).

My current block duelist will use hypothermia and Empire's grasp on 2.0 release.

With hatred + soul taker, you are constantly chilling enemies, therefore constantly incurring the 'more' multiplier from hypothermia.

Empire's grasp will give my normal cyclone a 'vaal cyclone' effect when coupled with knock back on bubbling flasks.

links in BoR will be Cyclone + Hypothermia + Weapon Elemental Damage + Added Fire

Current Gear

Crit will still be king, if it was me I'd mirror Doeboy's new crit sceptre with +2 weapon range if it's still BiS next patch.
