[3.25] Ice Crash-Jugg-2h-Axe-Crit (FREEZE THE GAME) 100% Crit Rate Full Screen Explosions

IMO Frostbite on hit isn't as good as CWDT frostbite anyway because the latter can proc as your first hit is going to connect, which ups oneshot potential as the build gets into nutty dmg numbers.

Yes i am using lion roar now and i will try getting a surgebinder(should i get a corrupted one with any good implicts in mind?)

Curse on hit Frostbite from a corrupted Surgebinder sounds even better now that I think of it. I'll be able to drop my rare curse on hit to run both Romira's and Circle of Fear. Leap slamming into mobs procs Frostbite so my initial ice crash is big, I guess. Waiting for something to hit me to CWDT Frostbite scares me!

That'll leave me with 4L boots to put something in after I remove Koam's but what is there to put if I have another source of Frostbite :o

Does this build use tripple crit max life jewels?

Im clearing some of my odler builds and would like to sell these 4 jewels as a pack.

--> in STANDARD thou, not in league <--

All 4 jewels are 100% perfectly divined.

Text me ingame if interested, im willing to go a bit cheaper than current market value if someone wants to buy them all at once!

Contact me ingame if interested: @TheTruePerfection

This build does not deal damage with spells so the first mod is irrelevant.

For Ice Crash you would need to change that Spell Multiplier to Melee Critical Strike Multiplier or Global Critical Strike Multiplier

Ah, by the way, Circle of Guilt with Herald of Purity is better than Circle of Fear with Herald of Ice for this build as well.

Cheers!

If you can get a pair with the right colours, go for it. I have attack speed corrupt on mine.

Generally binding things to CWDT isn't much of an issue as you will be getting hit as you do high tier mapping, as pack size increases and leap slam doesn't hit all of them. The disadvantage of curse on hit frostbite in this scenario is that it only affects enemies that your leap slam hit directly, whereas CWDT frostbite will curse more of the pack as your second/third hits of ice crash are about to go off and hit them.

Assassin's mark can be put on another cwdt setup to give more bossing damage. Withering Step is also something I've found handy for survivability - grants elusive for those tiny windows while we're mid-swing and getting shotgunned. Doing some testing to find if there's something better. The build can also run precision if you can get the mana reserved on the other auras reduced.

I'm also thinking of eventually upgrading my surgebinders to some warlord's spiked gloves, for more life, attack speed and chaos resist without losing dps. A super juicy pair would be warlord/elder with faster attacks support mod, freeing up a socket from leap slam.

It is a tiny dps upgrade (only about 20k on my PoB) for the tradeoff of losing our ability to explode enemies that we shatter.

Remember that quality on Herald of Ice grants extra cold damage as well, while quality on Herald of Purity only grants minion move speed.

Uh, I just used PoB on your current character and there's a 2M average max hit increase (1M total DPS) just by swapping the rings and the heralds. The only way I could get the 20k your PoB was by only swapping the Heralds, without swapping the rings.

Thanks, I had added the ring to the build but hadn't swapped it.

It would be fine to swap to for bossing. The corpse removal of Herald of Ice would still be superior for mapping unless you went for an explode chest, but not having to get that frees up valuable mod space on the chest.

Is there an updated pob for 3.13, wasn't sure if I should just go with the one you already posted (3.12 or the other ones listed)?
Build looks great, thanks for putting this together

Thinking about it, the other issue with Herald of Purity is that in an optimal setup you wouldn't likely be able to swap auras and rings for differet kinds of content, because you want a corrupted abyssus with 90% mana multi. HoI and HoP are different gem colours.

So HoP is only worth the dps increase if you have an explody schest, and that means potentially missing out on other cool modifiers that can bring a lot to this build, like power charge on crit.
