[3.7] Cold Executioner - Ice Crash Slayer - easy and cheap build - SSF vialble

Passive Tree: www.poeurl.com/cuvO
Some words on the tree: we just picked some sowrd damage nodes, preferably those that increase attack speed, crit chance and/or accuracy rating. Nodes that only increas physicle damage do not add that much damage. ELse we just grabed some other damage nodes like the fortify cluster. We cannot justify the long way to the big life wheel so I mady my way up to every life nodes that we can get on out path which isnt that much sadly.

Ascandancy (Slayer):
Some general words on this topic: I know a lot of people like cull, but I dont. Personally I dont see it as a damage increase as it does not make a tough enemies health go down fast before you've reached 20%. Even besides that I think the right part of the Slayer tree is better, or at least suits my build better.
Next is the crit node that I want add some words about: simply put - we dont need it as terminus est has even more than 8% bas crit chance. This can be considered a waste of the slayers potention but I feel this is the best all inclusive version. By not having to get Overwhelm we can get Impact, whose advantages I will tell blow.
If you have a sword that easily outplays Terminus Est's (+Frenzy Charges) physical damage but has a low base crit chanse you can get Overwhelm for the sake of Impact. But check PoB before you make this decission.

Take these nodes in the following order while leveling:
1. Impact: this gives you all the increased AoE you need from the tree to make Ice Crash feel and clear well. Besides that we get increased accuracy rating which is extreamly helpful when it comes to maxing out our hit chance. The 15% more melee damage can be neglected as it isnt that big and we dont necessarily want to be close to our target - for survivability purposes.

2. Endless Hunger: Overkill Damage leeched as life is very useful thus hard to describe, just watch you healthglobe before and after taking this node and you will see the diffrnece when killing monsters. It basicly allows you to leech a lot of life even tough the enemy you just slayed didnt have a lot of life.

3. Brutal Fervour: Makes that leech doesnt end when your health is fully recovered which makes leech similar to Life Regeneration. This way you still leech some seconds after having damage dealt. This is a nice to have in my opinion. It adds small defensive and quality of live bonuses. The real power comes frome the other effects of the node. Less damage take, increased attack damage and speed are combined with the over leech just very powerful.

4. Headsman: Basicaly the biggest Damage boost that Slayer grants us access to. Nothing to add here I think. Just take it as last node as we dont need that damage before, it still feels great to have though.

Bandits: Help Alira, we need some mana regen, as well as the crit multi obviously, the all res helps with gearing

Pantheon: Soul of Solaris to avoid some of the bigger hits and Soul of Shakari for the Poison Immunity
