Thats what I ended up doing lol. Was going for a 4l 2l and damn thing 6led in 5 fuzing :).

Really working on maxing out now. I ended up annoiting Tribal Fury and dropping ancestral call. My next big up grade with be spiked gloves with strikes additional target and the phys to cold.

Thanks for the build, its amazing.

Thank you this was actually very helpful. I think discussion is the only way to move forward so let me share my thoughts.

I actually made a few improvements on my gear since, but it didnt change the fact i just get one shotted on red maps 3-4 times/map which is enough to not get any exp.

There are definitely many things i do not agree with in the quide. For instance using herald of ice seems useless(we have enough splash without it), i think frostbite is much better overall (same for warchief vs protector, we have enough attack speed i think)

But okay, lets accept everything i did was wrong dmg-wise. But what about life?

I'm not sure if you already have it (because I can't see your tree) but having the Glorious Vanity Timeless Jewel (in the name of Doryani) adds a lot of EHP. It gives you 20% of your HP as Energy shield, which might be the big jump in EHP that you're missing. Also damagewise, and I know you said you improved some gears so this might already be the case, I'd really like to recommend getting the 15% of Glacial Hammer Physical damage gained as extra cold damage on your helmet since (atleast for me) it was quite an insane damage boost. In general (for me) every time it boiled down to following the recommendations in the guide and possibly sacrificing a bit of survivability for it or other 'great' stats on gears.

In general I just go by the idea of if I kill things fast enough that also improves my survivability. I check my improvements in PoB and if it confuses me I ask peers. If I recall correctly I've seen another Glacial Hammer build who did use the aura change you did, so you could check their build to see what they do differently that might help you.

I'm only Lvl 83 and have 5k life and 2k ES (+ fortify ,endurance charges and perma war cry and freeze). Don't underestimate Doryani's and chest craft. In terms of damage the build becomes completely absurd with the cluster jewels and berserk. You basically zoom through red maps likes its nothing, sometimes leap slam is almost to fast to handle.
The only con so far is single target damage. Could be better but hasn't been a big problem because of freezing. Just takes a moment to kill t15-16 bosses

There are just some simple things (which I don't know if they're better or not) that you seem to have adjusted, such as using Frostbite as an aura instead of Herald of Ice, using ice bite support instead of fortify (which is a lot of extra damage), using Ancestral warchief instead of protector (which might be the correct choice looking at top level glacial hammer players' DPS).

using ice bite support instead of fortify

So, the reason is simple about Fortify in the main link, you don't have to worry about having the buff up.

using Ancestral warchief instead of protector (which might be the correct choice looking at top level glacial hammer players' DPS).

Warchief and Protector give around same dps, Vaal Warchief gives more. Reason for the Protector is to give more attack speed initially vs bosses so you get your Blitz charges faster.
You can use Warchief though now whe

For instance using herald of ice seems useless(we have enough splash without it.
It's not mandatory but it gives little better clear.

Hello there,

First time poster on a build / I'm getting the various pieces of this build together. I've never crafted properly, to get the helmet. To ensure you get the correct redeemer affix, is it a one time enchant? OR can you re roll it using the resonator / fossils. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, re the glacial hammer on the helm - that's purely luck on the font in the merc lab, right?

Thanks!

Hello!
This build is viable for 3.10 right?
Can I go through the step by step in the first post guide, or you have some observation differente for 3.10?

I'm trying now this build, I reached lvl 30 now... far now all ok, 1k life, 3 act, will do first lab now. The only thing till now, my recover life still low (even using pot :/). On you tree, where do you go first, down side or up side?

cheers!

Yes works for 3.10. if you open up POB and look at the tree, Torstein has it provided for like 5 different level increments (25, 50, 75, 85, max i think)
