[2.0] OP Support - Perma freeze - Trap Cold Snap

Hi guys !

I come now to told you about my next build. I've been working on this one for 1 or 2 months.
Lots of special mechanics used. Hope you are ready ! Only Theorycrafting for now, but it does work very well on paper.

Not a quickmade build. If you wanna comment, plz read the FULL post. Thanks for reading !


GEAR :
Spoiler
- Weapon : Taryn's Shiver
- Gloves : Asenath's Gentle Touch
- Helm :The Broken Crown
- Rings :Doedre's Damning
And Call of the Brotherhood

The rest of the gear is pure ES rares. Note that windscream, Deerstalker, Bated Breath, Auxium, Rashkaldor's Patience, Eye Of Chayula, Solaris Lorica and Shavronne's Wrappings can be used. Depend your level, money and playstyle.



LINKS :
Spoiler
On Taryn's Shiver 5L,
Trap / Cold Snap (or Vaal CS) / Cold Pen / Hypotermia / Trap and Mines Damage

On Asenath's Gentle Touch 4L,
FireStorm / Curse On Hit / Elem Weakness / Frostbite

On rare ES chest 5L,
Trap / Multitrap / Trap Damage / Shock Nova / Elem Prolif

Anywhere,
Blood Magic / Discipline

And Wrath + Clarity



TREE :

Spoiler
Final Tree

Bandits : KILL THEM ALL



JEWELS :
Spoiler
Witch Jewel Socket, Energy From Within (31 + 12 = 43)

Anywhere, Clear Mind can be used, but WO wrath and Clarity

The rest of the jewels (2-3) is +3% chance to freeze & freeze duration rare ones.



HOW DO THIS WORK (Please fasten your seatbelt) :

Spoiler
So,

- I'm low life with 75% chaos resist, threw gear. Helm helps a lot.
How to get LL ? Blood magic + Discipline.

- Why these life nodes (Cruel Preparation & Heart and Soul) ?
Because i'm using Energy From Within (both are in range OFC).

- Using EE, Firestorm, shock nova, specialized in cold tree.... Like what... ?
So, first of all, Firestorm (With 35 of radius, it's here to set EE to fire resist and dual penetration curse)
Then Shock Nova multitrap is here to create a hudge area (consider X3 Shock Nova with 40% increase AOE. Everywhere it hits, it create an Elemental Proliferation zone, with 40% increase AOE itself. Basically, most of you screen is Shocked/Freeze)
More firestorm, in order to reset EE to fire and being sure to curse everything
Trap - Cold Snap on boss in order to maintain it freeze

- As i'm using traps (no "self" kills), can't use efficiently Heralds and charges.
So no charges, no heralds.

- Why using 3 curses ? Because my only goal is to perma freeze everything. About freezing, temporal chain lvl 1 or 30 is the same. So Asenath's Gentle Touch are nice. And i'm trying to get as MORE damage as possible. So dual pen.

- How to survive chaos when low life and no shav ?
75% resist chaos & Mind Over matter

- Mind Over Matter + ES ? Are you out of your mind ?
Chaos damages from hits will pass threw my ES, and will be reduced threw Mind Over matter.

- What aura ?
Discipline is the only aura needed. Wrath can be good to improve your shock nova damage, and clarity for sustain Traps and MoM.

- How is this build a "support" ?
Fighting againts perma-frozen ennemies helps you survive A LOT.
Taryn's Shiver gives a 1.2 more, and shocking a 1.5 more.
Then you can set a 4th curse in order to help your friends DPS.

- Some stats (rounded):

90-98 % chance to freeze.
130-160 % freeze duration, + Temporal chains (40 % more)
135-139 % of cold penetration.
200 % increase ES
Tons of increase damage, only MORE gems, Taryn's shiver bonus (20% more), Shock (50% more)


You run into a pack of monsters :
Spoiler

- Multitrap Shock Nova
you will freeze/Shock the whole pack (Elem prolif area isen't that bad with 40% increase AOE)

- Firestorm
+ 3 curse, setting EE. Kinda worried about this one, because that spell is not accurate

- Main Setup Trap Cold Snap
Tons of damage, should insta freeze every boss. Nice basic AOE



Playing with mates that need a special curse like Assassin's, Warlord's and wanna 4-5 curse :
Spoiler

- You can always use the Deerstalker for your multitrap setup and use your chest for Curse On Hit.

- Use your rings slots and amy for +1 curse.

Ahaha, we'll see :) I don't really enjoy being a debbie downer.... but why it won't work ?

lvl 50 for now.



I've played several trappers, and i'ved always managed to perma freeze packs with CS. Don't see why this version won't work, never had such tons of MORE damage
