Wanted to make fun build for the last two weeks of the league. It's certainly not a t1 skill but it's pretty good in open/outdoor maps. Indoor maps or maps with a lot of obstacles can be pretty slow and annoying, almost feels buggy at times.

Done some t15's and perma froze the bosses with lmp. Haven't gotten enfeeble or monster life yet on t15 though.

Running a LL version with gear from bv pathfinder. Bought whatever inc freeze gems that were cheap. There's no lvl 21 fp for sale so I'm on a lvl 19. :) Dying sun or gmp was a must have for me to make fp actually enjoyable to play.

gear and gems:

Skill tree:



Plan would be to respec some points and get higher lvl to pick up all the crit multi. Atm dmg feels fine though. Some jewels are pretty mediocre and I'd prefer everything to be freeze/es/crit multi. :) After picking up all the multi from tree+jewels it's probably worth running lvl21 added cold over crit multi gem.

All in all it's pretty fun to play and watch stuff blow up and shatter. Don't think I would ever play this seriously in a challenge league though. I can imagine fp totems could be pretty decent for HC.



Nice gear you got there! o.O

Glad to read that you enjoy playing this build!
Why u have a spell fire dame? enchanted in boots?
Useless, just one the last lab gave me. I personally like the increased Cast Speed boots enchant if you can get it.
I'm curious if you've tried Shaper with this build and also, if you think it'll still be strong and worthwhile to play in Breach?
I didn't try Shaper with this build, but I feel like is possible to do it. Really high damage and instant ES replenish thanks to Vaal Pact + Warlord's Mark.

If not possible with this gear, there's always the chance to invest some more currency and make this build LL.

If there's not any bad news on patch notes, I consider this build really strong: really high damage, great clear speed, reliable survivability on highest tiers and extra safe thanks to perma-freeze.

Is it hardcore viable?
Will Templar still be best bet for FP in Breach?
Imo, yes, Inquisitor ascendancy class is perfect for Freezing Pulse. On post there's a detailed description about it.

I don't play HC. Imo, after you have CI with a >9.5K ES pool, survivability is excellent and could work on HC.

But before that, is kinda weak because you rely on hybrid Life/ES pool, not instant ES replenish and elemental reflect mobs could be hard to deal with.

But if you manage to reach level 90 with decent gear such as posted, nothing too expensive at all, survivability is just great for highest tiers and perma-freeze is really safe against hardest bosses.
Updated guide for 2.5 after patch notes. Included a new video showing perma-freeze on all bosses from Tier 11 to Tier 15. Hope you all enjoy!
