Frost Archer Scion (EB, MoM, AA)

I want to present you my Scion Frost Archer build:

Build Stage: beta
Difficulty: semi-pro
Costs: ~20ex

This is not a guide yet!

Skills:

Offense:
This build is about utilizing Ice Shot, Frenzy and Rain of Arrows as main skills:
You will deal a mix of physical and cold damage.
Split Arrow is optional.

Defense:
Your defensive skills are Arctic Armor, Freeze Mine and Temporal Chains


Auras:
Clarity & Hatred



Skill links:

up to 6l
Ice Shot + weapon elemental Damage + faster Attacks + added Cold-damage + Cold-penetration
+ Life-leech

Rain of Arrows + faster projectiles + faster Attacks + increased AoE + concentrated Effect
+ Life-leech

3l or more

Frenzy + faster attacks + faster projectiles + Life-leech

Clarity + Hatred + reduced Mana ((( + Lightning Warp )))

Freeze Mine + increased AoE + elemental proliferation ((( + Temporal Chains )))



Passives:
You should aim for Eldritch Battery and Mind over Matter.
It is really important to get as much mana-regeneration as possible to use Arctic Armor in higher levels!

This is my Passive Tree for lvl 100

->280% increased Mana-reneration, 136% increased Mana
This should be enough to get a large Mana-pool and a high Mana-regeneration to run a level 12+ Arcitic Armor.
You do not need more than to run a Level 20 Arctic Armor.

In this passive Tree are %increased Life-regeneration passives included for more survivability - they can be respected.

Cut down the tree as you like. I do not think that s.o. would reach lvl 100 with this build.

The use of this build

Simply spam your Ice Shot to create icy ground which slows enemies and their cast/attack speed - same goes for Temporal Chains.

If you use The Blood Dance, Sharkskin Boots you should keep up your Frenzy Charges to gain more %Health-regeneration. This gives you a significant boost to survivability!
Still low on life? - Kite and use your passive Life-leech with each attack.

This build makes kiting harder enemies very simple:
Arctic Armor leaves a trail of icy ground behind you which slows. Also your Ice Shot creates icy ground!
Your normal Auto-Attacks will slow because they do a high amount of Cold damage which chills your enemies.
Not enough slows? - Use Temporal Chains to make your slows even harder!

You need your slows to keep enemies away from you because your Health-pool wont go over 2,5k.
(Do not forget that MoM adds a significant amount of effective Health)
