[1.2.1.4] - Hybrid Cold Purifier (no green)


(I genuinely love when builders put some kind of a concept art before their build guides. This is mine)

Today I share with you my little love project. This time I wanted to make a build which uses Mythical Chillflame Evoker as I haven’t found a single build on GT with this item.

Also, I really wanted to try a melee/caster hybrid and figured that this one can be it. This is not a very serious build, although it can facetank everything up to SR30.

GRIMTOOLS craft with stun res

The general concept is Rimetongue set with Crescent Moon.

Offense:

Yes, you guessed right, Grenado is our main source of damage. This is a problem, as it has very hectic reliability. When Ulzuin’s Chosen procs a few times in a row and those happen to crit as well the build is godlike. If not, it is a bit meh. This build is quite low on CDR unfortunately, this doesn’t help grenado either but it is especially painful for Blast shield and Deadly aim, that is why I kept those at min. value. RR is nice on this one, but %Cold damage is quite low, that is why I looked for ways to get more umph out of it. This is how Shard of Beronath came into the picture as it give us 120% cold damage boost at full charge and it procs Blizzard reliably. Seal helps out both offensively and defensively, but I will talk about it in a sec. All in all it is fun to run around, beating sh*t up and throwing grenades along the way. :blush:

Defense:

I am a SEAL HATER. In general, I don’t like skills which dictate where to stand, but as CDR is very I cannot rely on Blast Shield and Seal was the only real option to take here. It does a decent job, but you must plan with it, especially past SR30. The star of the show here is Horn of Gandarr. Without it you just die.

I tried to hoard ADCTH as much as I could to keep a decent sustain from Beronath hits while Grenado is on CD. When I looked for rings and legs, it was an important criterion, that they have some kind of proc which can heal.

Results:
SR30

I have pushed this to SR36, but from SR34 it gets very bumpy.

Regarding Celestials the list is non-existent as I have killed Mog with this char earlier so I can’t even test it. This char has Flesh summoned, which cannot be tackled with this build, although I think Minds should be totally doable, as we have the damage. Calla is only doable by kiting.

As always, constructive criticism is welcome.

Happy Gaming!

LOL. Seems legit. :smiley: I just checked on GT and I don’t know top20 builds by heart. :slight_smile:

ye i don’t think the crawler scrapes top20 because it doesn’t directly live up to the criteria, so only if individual build topics from the list exist, and the evoker then doesn’t have that.

*maybe it’s a good thing, otherwise might appear a bit “clickbatey” in the GT results :sweat_smile:
