Why is Taryn's Shiver considered good for Freezing Pulse?

I think you are underestimating a few things.

The extra chance to freeze and increased damage against frozen enemies is easily better than the any extra crit on your gear. A chance to freeze is better than relying on crits since crits might kill you.

And the 15% cast speed and +1 to the gem are both a huge dps increase as well.

The main tradeoff when using Taryn's shiver is that you lose defenses.


Yea, it's just that I feel like the +1 to Cold Gems and 15% cast speed are not beating out 45% spell damage (or more) and 130% crit (or more) by a significant margin, or possibly, at all.
15% Cast Speed is a huge deal. That said, yes, unless you HAVE to have a 5/6L item for lack of a chest, Dual-Wand/Dagger, Wand/Dagger/Sceptre+Shield do WAY more damage, and better defense with the shield (once you get good gear).

OR
+
Taryn's DOES NOT beat that.

Chance to freeze is crap

It only rolls if you fail to crit, which means getting crit reduces the effectiveness of it,

Staff is only imo good for 6L possiblity even with Kaoms, which Krip needs since he's running a marauder

If your using CI dont both :P
Taryn's is a viable choice, but not necessarily the best. Uniques aren't meant to be better than the best rares: they're just another flavor of item.
Show me a better rare than Kaom's Heart then (for hc league, not talking about scrubcore here). I have seen better rares than Lioneye's Glare or Marohi Erqi but not a single one better than Kaom's.

Do you even know what a scrub is? It's someone who refuses to learn from his mistakes and blames everything but himself when something goes wrong, never improving. Get your head out of your ass.
Because it can be six linked. Hardcore players are pigeon holed into spamming life due to overpowered spike damage, so they use Koams Heart.
Chance to freeze applies to each FP wave individually... you pretty much freeze all the time if you get this unique + the shadow freeze + gmp. The increased damage on frozen enemies applies to the whole party making it the best party option.

The +1 to cold gems is always invaluable at level 20.

I got a 24hr forum ban for referring to Hard Core / HC - as HomoCore

So tell me forum mods, why is this not "derogatory" also ?

If your gona probation me, I think you better pull your socks up and start to stop this scrubcore b/s and leave the bias favoritism at the door.
