[2.3] Ice Nova Slayer - Welcome to Ice Age



Uncommon class choice for caster - Slayer brings some interesting things to this Ice Nova build. Massive area, executing monster on low life, leech with overkill damage. End game build, possible for hardcore if you got enough currency.

I was able to do most map mods up to tier 11. Did not find any higher tier maps to test, but i was having lots of fun and success with this build (including 6 linking carcass).

Quick info.
Links:
Ice nova + Controlled Destruction + Spell Echo + Increased AoE. For 5 and 6 links, depending on your mana problems. Cold to Fire gives nice damage boost at little mana cost. Then either pick Ice Bite (needs least mana regen), Hypothermia or Cold penetration.

Single target links:
Frostbolt + Cold penetration + Spell Echo + Controlled Destruction. (Believe it or not, but it is enough, you will need shield so no staff).

Gears:
Highly useful uniques: Carcass Jack (at least 5 links), Divinarius dagger for more AoE and spell damage.
Other gears focus on as much life as you can, also mana regen is very much needed. Shield with high armor + life.

Other mechanics:
Frostbomb to counter curse immune and bosses.
Frostbite + Blasphemy for more damage.
Cast When Damage Taken + Molten shell (can combine with immortal call, and even enfeeble for far ranged monsters).
Arctic Armour + Chaos golem for physical damage mitigation.
