Introduction
So Amarastan Crusher weapon allows you to spam ABB (Amarasta Blade Burst) skill. Your logical choice is Acid Witch Hunter or Dervish build but I have something different in mind - Cold DW spam Infiltrator. To be honest build turn out to be better than I expected…

Infiltrator vs Witch Hunter:
I tried them both with similar configuration, WH looks better on paper and have whooping 20% more attack speed, a crucial stat but it trails to the good old Infiltrator both offensively and defensively. Casting CoF for RR is real cancer on this build and you have less critical damage, DA and health.
Also something is weird about ABB spam. Even close to 200% attakc speed you don’t feel the difference
Core Gear:
The core items are the one with skill mods to ABB - Crusher allowing spamming, Olexra’s Chill for converting acid damage to cold, Conduit increasing ABB AoE area and Gloves with crit damage bonus and ofc the MI items. Head is Gargoyle Gaze, which can be farmed in FG content are and medal is Ilgorr for the sweet ABB WD mod. Both of my green items are with one rare affix.
SupportGear:
Belt is up to debate, nice rolled Gargoyle one can be BiS. Rings are cheap crafted Elemental ones, Shoulders are Silver Sentinel, also very common ones converting Acid to Cold damage on Lethal Assault (Separate skill from ABB) and Yugol devotion. Relic is Nemesis for attack speed and +1 Nightblade mastery.
- Crafts are mixed for Slow&Stun
Devotions:
My goal was to get significant boost to Attack Speed, since my Olexra Weapon have none. So took for that Revenant, Spider, Lantern and Jackal. Triple Cold devotion procs with Ultos, Yugol and Blizzard. Ghoul for defense is present.
Performance
Build is doing nice damage killing most foes in the flash, I even will not pick Seal for Crucible or for campaign to allow free movement and Shadow Strike in enemies. Completed 9 out of 10 runs in Crucible. Kuba is pain for any cold melee build, Grava is very dangerous, needs to be killed first and wave 169 requires some focus. My average times are perhaps slightly over 6. Here’s my fastest run of 5:40!
In SR I took Seal (as you can see the in the video) in expense of points in Anatomy of Murder. Did 75/76 successfully, although build can barely beat it, definitely not the same monster as in Crucible. I even suffer shameful death in boss chunk
