Hello, fellow minmaxers, welcome to my cold tread of 2H spam- caster. This girl pierce foes with icy spines and tear apart even the sturdies enemies in seconds. =) Grimtools
Build explanation:
We slam our long cold sword intro the ground and miracle happen- the manifestation of Winters Queen summon 3 icy spines from the ground, each of them deal 55% weapon dmg and some minor cold stuff. Winters Queen might is bound to Guardian gaze devotion, due to some shotguns we can summon up to 12 nasty eye`s , each of them deal 15% of WD on top of some minor flat dmg. Elemental balance ringset provide addition proc, dealing another 15% WD in AoE and some minor cold dmg.
For %RR we have 33% from Night chill, 35% from Censure, 10% from Crown modifier to Veil of shadow, 15% from amy modifier, 23% from Rumor and 32 flat RR from Elemental storm. 148% reduced cold resistance.
As you can guess the dmg output is kinda low, resulting in sub 8minutes runs of 150-170 with 4 buffs and sub 7 minute runs with 4 buffs and vanguard banner.
For defenses we have capped DA, 21% dmg reduction from Censure and that it. This build is squishy and require concentration in high crucible environment.

Shadow dance provide increasing returns. This build has no other mean of defense outside of DA, Seal and Censure. Our armor is low, our phyz resist is almost non-existant, our health pool is low and on top of it - not a single circuit breacker and limited lifesteal.
As for RoS due to zero CDR on the build we can only drop one RoS per 3 seconds. A few thousand dmg in 3 seconds dosent matter at all for clear-speed. If you want to use RoS you need different build - Soulrend or Kobra.
I’m too lazy ti do the math, bu my guts tell me that 7da is better investment that armor on PA, or life in inquisitor.
But if you like, you can put it in anatomy of murder or merciless repertoire.
Stun res is only a problem up to 150. After that, the only thing stun related that can troll you is maiden+valdaran in an unfortunate sync between Vald’s lightning and her stuns. Which is very rare. So Ulo is more than enough for that.
After 150 the most important secondary res is probably slow. A min. 30% is very healthy. Then some freeze res
