[b]Hey guys,
my poor Spellbreaker was out of commission for a long time. But not anymore! Since the latest patch brought some nice upgrades to cold builds I reactivated and having a blast with it. You like crowd control, high OA and pretty fast clear times? Try this one out. You are welcome![/b]
My recommended Gear, Devotions and Skilldistribution:
Grimtools
Buffed up
This is a dual wielding Spellbreaker build, focused on Cold Damage, Crowd Control and damage conversion (Pierce and Lightning into Cold). It clears all regular content with ease. Didn’t try any Super Bosses.
The new Mageslayer Set buffs to OFF, together with the updated Nex & Ortus proc, really help this one out in terms of cc and damage. Just SS into a bunch of mobs, everything freezes (except some bosses and Nemesis, depending on their freeze resist) and pretty much everything is dead a second later. Sounds easy and it is easy to play. But gear dependant.
With all buffs active you inflict only around 80k paper DPS, but together with your procs and DoT it still is one of the fastest killing builds, at least in Vanilla.
The OA sits around 3500 with ~60% Crit Damage. High OA is important to make the new Sacred Balance proc go off pretty much every second. 
Together with ~2500 DA and all the cc it is pretty tanky. You might want to get some other boots, pants and Augments for more HP/DA/Armor though, but I love the glass canon playstyle.
Resist Reduction is served by Devotion Procs and Skills and sums up to -151 Cold RR .
As Auto Attack Replacer we’re using Beronath’s Fury from Shard of Beronath component.

Quick BoC Run (10 sec Shar’Zul kill)
Gameplay:
LMB - Beronath’s Fury (Hand of Ultos)
RMB - Shadow Strike (Elemental Storm)
Keyboard 1 - Pneumatic Burst
Keyboard 2 - OFF
Keyboard 3 - Amarasta’s Blade Burst (Rumor)
Rush in with SS, cast OFF and ABB, hit with Beronath’s Fury, everything is dead. Repeat if not.
Crucible:
I am not a Crucible player but my guess is, it can clear it with ease with some different gear and more defensive skill and devotion setup.
Alternative Gear:
I guess better MI Pants, some other Mythical Pants and crafted Boots. Some other rings, Relics and medals might also work, I will add a list later.
To sum it up: It is an agressive dw melee build with very good cc and DPS, making use of some updated items and skills, which weren’t commonly seen before. Give it a try!
Shoutouts to Chthon, JoV, Thrasheur, Stupid Dragon, TomoDaK, Superfluff, Drizzto, jajaja, whoever I forgot.
