Do you think this build will hold up fine in the end game?


I personally think it will. Come back in a few days, I might be killing guardians by then. (If I still have time playing :D )
Interesting. I got both vortex and fb blackhole mtx(the only 2 I have) so guess I HAVE to try this build out. Probably just gonna respecing from the ele bv. Lets see how it goes.
Looks like a lot of people are trying this setup but there's just this one guide for it.
Gave this build a go for my league start this season and I am enjoying it so far, made it to 45. I do feel super squishy especially vs the Syndicate but I'm learning to kite, def feels like I cant let anything touch me though.
interesting how is it holding up on map or exile
test with bone chill and winter orb really slow or freeze down any exile in my way!
lol

The Syndicate is dangerous for everyone, it's not just this build.

Level 45 is still a bit early this build to take off, just keep on playing! When you have high enough level curses and a chill effect you will it :D

Try to buy a vaal cold snap early on (My mistake was that I was too lazy to buy vaal cold snap). It helps a lot with freezing bosses.
OP i think The Pandemonius Jade Amulet
will be a big buff for this build

since is a low chill effect!

No we do not benefit from most of The Pandemonius Jade Amulet mods.

1. Damage penetration is exclusively on hit effect mod. DoT does not benefit from it.
2. We already have our default chill 10% from chilled ground, which we already focus on scaling. More chill just overrides the old one, so it is a waste.
3. It has no life on it.
