Well, maybe some sorts of white trash with no HP and no cold resist (and map without cold res, HP, etc).
That kind of freeze is just too unreliable. You should deal far more damage to rely on that mechanics.
Porcupines are quite a problem, indeed, but why dont just swap one of your gems with Added Cold Damage when you need shattering? At least, Added Cold Damage provides a noticeable cold damage...

yep, that's true :) but half of white porcupices should be shattered. Maybe added cold will help, idk. Never tested it, but sounds not so bad.

Another question - how do you feel about Graceful Assault?

It would be possible to path from the dex node under Finesse to the life node near Herbalism, which would cost two points. That would save four points total, but cost Graceful Assault and two 12% Evasion nodes. I imagine you considered that, and deemed Graceful Assault worth the investment, but I wanted to verify.

Thanks!

Wanted to ask the same question, because for me Graceful Assault looks like a bad investment - i'd rather invested points into life, jewel or projectile damage.

graceful assault is really nice while playing solo. hell, it's still even really nice to me while in parties if your build has enough damage to kill most of the monsters. i respec'ed into graceful assault to only try it and see how i liked it but never respec'ed out of it because how much i'm enjoying it.

Is it just for extra movespeed procs? Why dont just use 2 quicksilver flasks then?

20% Increased Attack Speed as well. I am 75 now and have picked it up. It is nice, but I'm not convinced yet. You could, for example, take the 3% Attack speed, and 4 x 4% life & 4% Evasion nodes instead. The move speed and attack speed is very nice, though. And it does have a very high up time %.

Picking it at 75 seems like a waste of a skill point. Unless you are a "dried lake untill 100" hero. Talents like this are picked, imho, at 90+.

it is honestly personal preference if you want to pick up graceful assault or not. it's worth picking it up just to try it out though imo. i also agree that i wouldn't pick it up either until later levels.

on a side note. snakebite is terrible for playing with cullers in groups. same thing with graceful assault. so if you play or intend to play a lot with a culler then i would advise to not use either. i'm glad i still have my rare gloves

What would you do if you get a third 6 link?
Till now i played with a 6link LA and a 6 link Blastrain without Snakebite.
At the Moment i am trying a Siege Balliste with Frenzy and Snakebite.
I am really not sure but what do you think?
