[2.2] Very effective FREEZE LA Crit Build
|
updating this thread and build. im going to respec out of this into another build for awhile but i want record of this build for myself.
its a really sweet build. only thing is i lack HP but that can easily be solved with a belly of the beast instead of a carcass jack. the freeze is constant and duration is long enough for you to focus down another mob/pack or just reposition and refreeze |

Really like this idea, but i hate bow chars?
how do you think this would fair with melee and using lightning strike? especially considering only 11 passive nodes are bow specific could pretty easily swap them for nearby sword nodes. in the shadow area swap sniper for slight of hand and swap the duelist areas for shield nodes? probably not enough life going on this way https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwIBAF4FLQW1BiAGogdjCC4M8g2NDkgRgRGWFr8X3BmOGdcj9iSdJP0mlSoLL8wwcTB8N9Q6QjqzPs9DMUV8R35LeEz_TUZNkk4qUUdVS1WFVvpYdVoaW69d8mHiYlpirGLsY6dlTWyMbWxuaXBScNV0oHTtd9d67311fyuE2YTvidOMNo19jb-QCpOVlcyXl5uNnaqjiqR4pcumf60zsbO0OLTFtUi9Nr3mvqfBgsHVwuzDM8u9037UI9X42sHdRt2o3vjlGedU7T_tQe2D7g7vevPq-WP79fzF_rr_3g== what do you think?

" personally i wouldn't roll melee, no. you'd have to spend more points on defense which you don't necessarily need to do with ranged. however just spending 4-5 points on shield nodes is an absolute waste. also to do melee you're missing out on the awesome factor of lightning arrow, which is its automatic chain. lightning arrow doesn't have this effect, sadly, and wouldn't be as nearly effective in practice. to do something melee, honestly i'd probably consider just doing a caster for freeze effect. but then you're really changing everything, probably including starting champ (witch instead of ranger). i used to always prefer melee as well, but this game really has been Path of Ranged for a long time now. " my current equipment and gem setup is what you see in the main post. i respec'd back to this from my chin sol HoA millions of dps burn dmg, because that build will really only take off once 2.1 hits. only difference is im trying to get a belly of the beast (even just 5L) for more HP/regen. i would cut out hypothermia from my single target setup to accommodate. |

updating again (but just in this post for now).
i've optimized a few things IMO. since i shatter everything i added a couple of gems to really kick things up a notch. the chill of corruption gem, and vaal grace. this basically allows me to have vaal grace up for any rare and unique monster i come across in a map. or even just strongboxes. i did use it for vaal burning arrow instead of normal burning arrow, for higher single target damage, but defense is more important. i also went back to carcass jack for now, from a 5L belly of the beast, just to test out the difference. belly of the beast adds 500 hp and a bit of regen. especially with vaal grace now tho it feels extremely safe no matter what i do. also went down to self casting just elemental weakness, and amulet for a 9th frenzy charge. here is my new tree and gear next two points will be getting the 20% lightning damage boost near shadow start. gear:
Spoiler
now my defenses look like this, with frenzy charges, rumi's flask and currently lvl 6 vaal grace up i have HP: 4,174 ES: 165 Estimated Physical Reduction: 2% Estimated Chance to Evade Attacks: 32% Chance to Dodge: 67% Chance to Dodge Spells: 57% Chance to Block: 28% Chance to Block Spells: 11% thats pretty awesome considering my range, avoidance (movement speed and faster attacks blink arrow), and my freezing capability Last edited by xMustard#3403 on Dec 1, 2015, 4:42:22 PM

heres a video of this build in action back in 2.0 with a typical map run.
it may take a bit for it to populate to HD quality, but it will. i'll be updating this guide and info for 2.1 soon, and posting more videos https://youtu.be/dd7nkZQN4Rw Last edited by xMustard#3403 on Jan 11, 2016, 1:30:10 PM

" Dat freeze aye! |

Patiently waiting for the 2.1 build update so I can start this! :D

" everything has been updated now. this is completely up to date. im waiting for ascendancy to really play this build anymore. i can't wait for it! it should get MUCH better with the Deadeye Tree to gain 30% MORE damage at further away is incredible. i just don't know what would be better with lightning arrow, the additional projectile or the chain +1 time. im thinking the free chain since each projectile (with GMP) would chain one time, meaning each projectile would give another 3 LA chains. there wouldn't be a pack too big for you to hit everything!! i've also decided that my chin sol/point blank/burning arrow/HoA burn 4 million DPS build would go over MUCH better as a shadow, for the assassin tree. So i'll be raising up another shadow and posting there for that build. |

Any thoughts on how to update this for Ascendancy?
