Is Glacial Hammer viable at 3.3? (Jugg)

So I thought of a Glacial Hammer build with this tree.


The build would use a Doryani's Catalyst to increase the freezing chance of GH(or Cameria's Maul to farm items), a shield to use the passive skills that increase ailment and physical damage.
The Hatred aura and Herald of ice to boost the damage.
The 4 jewel sockets are for the Treshold jewels(Shattered_Chains(for farming, can be changed to any other thing) and Winter Burial(for the splash and the other 50% convert)).
All of this while having a lot of accuracy, attack speed and armour due to juggernaut tree.
So the question is would this be viable for Incursion?

from my experience so far (lvl 74), the single target is pretty garbage without crit and clearspeed is really meh.
I doubt you will be freezing much with that combo. The Templar Inquisitor is better for a freeze build, you can get Inevitable Judgement and ignore the resistances. You will probably struggle trying to level with that build. Critical Strike doesn't work well with the Marauder until you're up to at least a level 85.

I'd suggest this thing



Then get Elemental Overload, Hrimburn gloves, and Unyielding. You can do a nice stun build but do cold damage. Switch to Ice Crash when you're clearing mobs for the AoE. If you try to do a freeze build with a character that's inherently made for stuns, you'll probably get stuck.

i suggest using Frostbreath hammer



since it will double your damage if your target is chilled

and if you have the currency add pandemonious



so you will guaranteed to chill and deal double damage

and use stat-stick sword on offhand
I am in love with glacial hammer builds :P

Will build one myself as well. But I think I will go for a Templar build.
You can check my character DrVictorFriez, I have been using glacial hammer for a long time now. It clears extremely fast for non meta build. It holds it's own against bosses. Just haven't tried shaper and what not yet. As a point of reference I love my glacial hammer build. I've also poured a lot of currency into it.
