[2.6] THE FREEZING PILLOW - 40% DMG Reduction - 250K+ DPS - Dual Curse - Freezing Pulse Hierophant.

This is going to be my Legacy League starter build and will update this thread as i play and acquire more gear or make changes.


I utilize Hierophant Ascendancies along with Eldritch Battery, Ghost Reaver, and Warlord's Mark. This allows me to keep my Energy Shield topped off, and thus spellcast for free quite often. This lets me fully repurpose my mana pool into a massive shock absorber.
If my theory craft is wrong, then it will take only 4 respec points to fix the issue, and you still get to benefit from a great mana pool and cheap spells.

I also use 2 of the new threshold gems instead of LMP and GMP.

Do you have a version of the tree for like level 90 ish? Would be easier for me if you could share a 90ish tree.

I have added a level 90 version of the tree. The main difference is a number of power charges, their duration a little bit elemental damage.

Added Increased Critical Strike Chance as a 6th link.
Unless I'm looking at it wrong one of your jewel slots only has 30 int in medium radius and won't trigger First Snow...
