[Budget] Yeti's - Freeze mine Build - PARTY PLAY
 Introduction [RolePlay / Tought of progress]
Spoiler
They said i could do what i want.
That's why i come to this land, these exiled lands comes with a promise of freedom. Freedom of using my power. Freedom of being who i want. Freedom of using my abilities has i want, where i want and with no limits. Were they truthfull ? They told me what to do. When i've reach that damn village in the desert... That Sarn encampment... They told me i was weak. I looked at them and smiled. They told i had to fight like this or like that to become strong enought for them. I laughted at them. Then i experimented a tought world. I first tought they were true. Were they truthfull? I listened to them. I tried their way. I followed their instructions. My hearth is dark, i can't handle listen to a stronger force. Their way was boring. Their way was not much better. I throwed those spectral swords, tried those hard hits from daggers and fought using those big mace. But i hated it. I hated their way. I'll kill them. I will prove that im stronger, faster, and stealthier. A dagger... stealthy enought but not strong and not fast enought... you have to reach the target. A sword, strong but slow and not stealthy at all. Two daggers? Stealthy enought, very fast once you reach the target... but still not strong. I wanted to see the fear in their eyes. Something that kills you immediatly is something you cannot fear. Something that kills you gradually is scary has shit. Something you can't evade and don't know where it comes from... Clearly scary. A Bow i needed a bow. No danger for my life, i will be so far from them they can't hit me. Very fast. Strong with the rights arrows. Stealth... Can't be more stealth. Using a poison on that arrows will kill them gradually. It appears i was wrong. Bows are fine, bows are nice. But an armoured enought man don't care about arrows. And poisons in this place, in the exiled lands are so weak compare to the real world. So i needed a weapon that let me being far when it hit, strong and that make my ennemies fear my next attack. Traps and Mines. Ok But, what is this build about ? What i want from my build? I wanted a supportish Shadow build. That was my first tought but when we look at it, how to support in poe ? You can make a Culler wish gives MF. Extremelly gear dependant. You can make a character whorun a lot of aura/conduit. Rangers/Witch are better for this in my eyes. And you can take the best of the shadow... and make it a support. Imagine if you enters a map, all the monsters are frozen and frozen? It would be nice. Is it achievable ? We'll see. What are the ''big'' frost skills ? Freezing Pulse, Cold Snap and ... Freeze Mine. I love freeze mine, i like freeze mine. i am a Yeti and what is around me GOT THE BE FROZEN. -Eh Freeze mine has been nerfed last patch ! True, so what? The nerf added damage to the mine. Wish is... a nerf and a buff. You won't be able to permafreeze dominus because now you will kill the monsters next to him. Elemental prolif won't freeze him forever. BUT you still can freeze a whole bunch of monsters. And let your team destroy a map. Desired Links

Chest 5L -> Freeze Mine + Elemental Proliferation** + Cold Penetration + Increase Area of Effect + -Concentrated Effect // Curse on Hit + Elemental Weekness for a 6L-
Dagger -> Artic Armor + Anhance + Empower (they are not NEEDED, its a plus !) Shield 3L -> Cast When damage taken + Enduring Cry + Cold Snap (or Temporal Chain) Boots (Deerstalker) 4L -> Cold Snap + Elemental Proliferation + Multiple Traps + Cold Penetration Helmet 4L -> Clarity + Grace + Reduce Mana + Discipline Gloves 3-4L-> Elemental Weekness (You can go for frostbite) + Reduced Mana + Increase Aoe + Faster Casting So, what's the plan ? First Step - You curse with Elemental Weekness so it get easier to freeze ennemies (resistant ennemies don't freeze). First Frost - You throw Some Cold Snap traps in order to let you go close to the monsters without being screwed. Engagement - You throw a smoke mine (wish will apply instantly because you have volatile mine) or you engage with a whirling blade. Perma Freeze - You spam those Freeze mine. Curses - Make sure your curses are still on. Build Skill Tree and progression Final Skill Tree (101 points) Here's for the leveling

Hi when i leveled that character i alrealy was thinking of that build so i was in the same troubles has you. You cannot do enought damage using that build to level up fast has wanted. So i leveled using freezing pulse and the support i could find !
Keep in mind you want to still get equipped the more possible gems from the final build since it will exp the gems even if you don't use them. I also party'ed when going for bosses (Merveil, Vaal, Piety and Dominus) because i could not kill them alone. It is a support build after all ! For Bandits i Usually go for Kill all but in this build i choose to take the 40HP on the first bandits because that was an melee Yeti. Needed stuff The only item that you will need is a deerstalker boots. It offers you a 5L boots with trap. However the hardest to achieve early on is to get all those gems with the proper links. Elemental prolif can only be looted, reduced mana has some cost and Cast when damage taken can only taken in Act3 Merciless with the library quest. Items that can help you A divinarius (dagger) will help you get more monsters in your freeze and in your cold snap. Also a Carcass Jack (chest) for the same reason. Carcass Jack -> Adds AoE effect But you don't need a lot of damage, the important on that build is that you stay alive ! Good luck guys and give me some feedback ! _________ _____________ ___________ You will remember why you once feared the dark. Last edited by ZePample#0404 on Jul 29, 2014, 11:31:24 PM

Build is almost complete, let me know what you think about it !
|
|
|
Can you post your current item setup?
|
|
|
There it is, has i said this is not the optimal gear set up, i have to upgrade a lot from it.
First i should take a Life + Resist + Strenght (more life) for belt. And get rid of the maligaro's for life gloves. Same goes for the two stone ring ! (I'm not capped in chaos resist with that set up) |

Updated the skill tree removed damage nodes for more hp, armor, evasion and 2.5% hp regen.
Give me some feed back please ! |

I enjoy reading your thread :) I use now a low life summoner, currently freezmine + cold penetration/added cold damage. I still have a char slot left, so when i finish gearing il try your ;) do you think withou ttoo much support i could freez or perma freez Piety? I use Leap slam to get in, lay a mine freeze then freeze, only tested it on Sarn Mobs so far. why Dominus isnt permaFreeze eligible? Killing other mobs prevent it? You ARE my Bitch of burden!

Build outdated i think all the Cold Snap CoC build does better than this now for perma-freeze. I enjoyed playing with my yeti, tho.

Updated the build ! THE YETI IS BACK FRIENDS !
It's a hard budget build. You barely need gems + a 5link to make it work. Only focus to get life on each part of your gear ! Ev/Es gear would do work. |

Have you came up with a freeze mine build with the new tree?
