Thanks to Coldest Snap, Frost's burst AoE and small-scale AoE are significantly stronger and more engaging. The specialization is much less punishing to play because mistakes do not result in losing 100% Icy Veins uptime anymore. Frost Mages now have a more bursty damage profile around Icy Veins that will fit better in many encounters.Entangling Shot does nothing but slow your enemies.2,463 Followers, 12 Following, 422 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Icy Ve Also easier to focus on Strafe this way with your primary as Hungering Arrow without ever worrying about switching your primary to Entangling back and forth. It's better to replace with another skill and weapon to optimize damage and defense. Those builds are better for group rather than solo. If you find yourself running out of Hatred, better to revert to the Buriza.Īs for the builds with Entangling Shot and Odyssey's Bow, they are not maximizing damage. Note however, that this consumes more Hatred. If you pick demolition, swap Perfectionist for Grenadier for even more damage. The reason we pick Drifting Shadow over other runes is the 100% increased movement speed, but if you want more damage, then Demolition is a better choice. I use Depth Diggers in cube because I want more damage than defense.Īnother choice instead of Buriza is K'mar Tenclip which grants the Drifting Shadow rune to Strafe.

Using the Buriza with Drifting Shadow, I almost never run out of Hatred and am considering putting Aquila Cuirass instead of Depth Diggers for that reason. Though, a Dawn with 50% reduced cooldown is enough to keep your Vengeance active at all times.

Ninth Satchel is the best choice in the cube because of the instant 600% increased damage unless you have primal ancient in which case you can equip that and put Dawn in the cube instead. Alternatively, people have been using Fortress Ballista for the absorb shield but this is not necessary with all the damage reduction you are getting with Shadow Power - Gloom (35% reduced damage) + Bladed Armor (40% increased armor) + Vengeance - Dark Heart (50% reduced damage) + Perfectionist (10% increased resistance) + socked diamonds in legs and armor. Since pierce is guaranteed now by the Ninth Satchel and each additional pierce is 70% increased damage, this means 2 more hits to the enemy that is 1.70 x 1.70. Your projectiles pierce 1 - 2 additional times.Įquip the full 6-set Gears of Dreadland set.Īdding the Buriza crowsbow gives 2 additional pierce.
