Hello everyone, a few people asked me if I can write a build guide after seeing me run this build.

Without going into too much detail, I wanted a build that can clear at a reasonable speed and be able to do single target damage. I also wanted to avoid cyclone and discharge since those cause huge amounts of desync in my case, that's how I came up with this.



Edit:

Using two eleron rings allows double purity and sustaining of the skill casting without problems



Pros

- Good clear speed

- Freezes 90% of mobs on screen

- No mana problems

- Good single target

- Simple to gear up







Cons

- Reflect can hurt without flask

- Doesn't insta leech

- probably more I can't think of







Here's my current passive tree, I'll be adding a lower level one shortly

Good alternative acuity tree, doom cast and arcane potency can be replaced by more life. Very little requirements from the rings since we get so much resists from the tree

Gear

Few things are mandatory for this build:



Since I rely on having 7 power charges and don't want to waste a socket for pcoc volls is the best choice





Not much to say here, by far the best crit helm in the game, it also gives nice attack speed





Good cold damage and cold leech





Probably the most important after volls, using vagan's dagger saves getting any accuracy on gear or tree





Extra 4% max res and some spell damage on shield, you can of course use a rare shield with more damage if you feel like you need it but this one will also give a boost reflect defence







for the rest of the items all you really need is as much life as possible and 2% mana leech:















Slight Update:





Those rings allow dropping clarity and running double purity instead

sloppy death (forgot I didn't have acuity and tried to tank bosses... + another one to desync and no acuity again)
