I currently have these items equipped, with the gem links as shown in the gear that is linked here:



Equipped



I also have these items available:



Stash



My current tree is for a flame totem build which I have not yet been able to respec and have been using for testing. The plan is to reroll after Perandus leagues and change ascendancies to Juggernaut for Unstoppable so that I can move, cast, and attack while frozen.



Here's the tree:

My current item setup gives me 55k armor while frozen for 90% damage reduction, and I have 4k life while capped on all resistances including chaos. I am still capped on cold resist even when cursed. Without being frozen, I have a measly 13% damage reduction.



I know it looks a bit weird but the shield, boots, and zahndethus's cassock were pretty much required if I was going to cap chaos resist due to the restriction to 3 slots to do it. Even with all of those I'm still going to need to take the 4 templar +chaos resist/life nodes to just barely cap it once I respec. Aurumvorax was also pretty much mandatory since there were so many uniques.



My question is, how do I freeze myself? My current setup is unable to freeze myself well despite self-cursing with Frostbite and popping Taste of Hate before self-damaging a great deal. I only really get frozen when there are a ton of mobs hitting me and ToH is up, but it never lasts for long despite using Auxium with only about 700ES.



My current build has an okay clear but I would really like to be able to consistently freeze myself to maximize the benefit from berek's pass and winterheart, which are the whole point of the build.



Ideally the build would move towards a CWDT scold's build for damage.
