[2.6] 95% Freeze Chance Glacial Hammer, Champion. 300+k dps, Budget (under 20c),

Main hand - Ancestor Warchief, Shield Charge and Fater Attacks. Totem for max single hit damage (i have protector installed, because my warchief is leveling) SC + FA = very fast movment. Actually more than needed.

Shield - Punishment, Enduring Cry, Blasphemy. Firsr of all, we can easly reach 100% chance to freeze with Frostbite, which i was using before. But 95% is high enough and single hit boost is better for freezelocking, because we already penetrate all possible resistances (as i know mob's max res are similar to players and are 75)

Body Armour - GH, WED, CP, ACD, H, MPD.
Obviously, that Multistrike would give alot more dps, but i use phys damage becuse it is only possible choice left to boost single hit. That is reffered to a freezing mecanics as i understood it from wiki. If duration would be less that 0.3 sec, freeze won't trigger at all, which means even 0.29 will result as zero. Freeze duration calculates from percentage of max health hit had removed. 60 miliseconds for 1%. So basicly to triger freeze you need to hit mob at least for 5% of its max life pool. (Shittiest of all possible mecanics, hopefully it will be properly adressed in 3.0) Multistrike eats out 30% of hit damage. According to math no matter how fast we het, if we are not scoring 5% of max health, we will not be freezing at all. And to ballance on the edge we need 3.4 attacks per second to effectively freezelock target if we are able to break 5% border. That is why multistrike is a comlete shit in our case. Math is a bit more complicated because of ailment duration, but i don't know how exacly its working, so i won't be guessing.


Helmet - Vengance, WED, ACD, CP - straightforward most damage supports. Hypothermia is actually better, i don't know why i'm using added cold.

Gloves - Herald Of Ice, Arctic Armour, Bloodrage, Vaal Lightning Trap. All seems to be pretty obvious. Herald for flat damage. Lightning trap is cheap shock applier, bloodrage is a frenzy charge generator and nice dps boost. Arctic Armor is ok defencive aura.

First option is to keep Lycosidae shield and focus at taking life everywhere. In this case tree at lvl 100 will look like this:


You will have 8100+ life.

Second option is to tske Resolute Technique, which will cost 8 points to reach, and chnge Lycosidae for Lioneye's Remorse, which will give nice ammount of armor as well as life. As a result you will have almosr exact (+-50 life) ammount of life, but will free 4 helmet socket, because without 250-300 flat damage Vengance will become a waste. You could add Leap slam in addition to shield charge to ease your movements, golem and something with CWDT.

In that case at 100 tree will look like this:



Third option is to take all avalible ele damage points (7 of them) which in the end will give about 50k dps, and rest life.

Choice is yours. I prefer third option, because i like the idea of extra 80k aoe hit and build's main goal is to freezelock. You don't need much life for that.
