Any cold caster build that uses TSS + OFF as main dmg skills?

[lazycalm]

Hi,

I was thinking about Spellbreaker, since it has good RRs overall…
I know traditional cold casters normally come as Druids, but wouldn’t this work too?

I’d just like to know on the top of your head, if you think it’d be good for endgame.

Thanks guys

@Duchy has made this build in the past, here it is on this post

[1.1.8.0] Olexra of the Sky - freezing and devastating Spellbreaker, easy SR 65+

INTRODUCTION The reason behind this build is to make The Mageslayer set work with cold Devastation. Build uses Olexra’s Flash Freeze to freeze enemies and then you drop Devastation on them and Trozan’s Sky Shards. For cold devastation Arcanum Frigus gun is needed. For shorter cooldowns the build uses huge cooldown reduction and Eternity relic. For spamming between spells and for healing with lifesteal Chain Lightning from component is used. Your main defense is freezing enemies, then lifesteal,…

I also have a Spellbreaker that utilize OFF+TSS freeze, but the TSS part is not the main damage part of the build, merely as an extra freezing skill.

Damn, arivius, you beat me, was gonna link this build, seems exactly what the OP was looking for. I also found this in the compendium :

[1.1.4.0] Vanilla Ice: 9s Mad Queen, 7 minute Cruc. Glad. 150-170, no greens Trozan Spellbreaker

[image] "Ice, Ice, Baby" - Vanilla Ice, poet, circa 1990 Foreword (some mad murmur you probably want to skip to Grimtools and videos below) Maaan, spellbreakers. Beautiful creatures, hated so much by Crate and loved by veteran Grim Dawn gamers. Nerfed so many times yet still powerful. I waited for quite some time before I dared to assemble one of my own. After all, it’s the most expensive character to assemble. Here it is, by the way. Cold beauty. Green items to kill for. Fine tuned under the…

Seems a little outdated, and based on TSS, Phantasmal Blades, and good old Chillspikes. No idea if it still works, Chillspikes got nerfed if I recall correctly. Check the link in the last post of the thread, it’s the latest version by mad_lee.

you beat me

Chillspikes got nerfed if I recall correctly.

Yep, it got nerfed in 1.1.7.0. Weapon Damage reduced from 16% to 12% and base Cold Damage reduced from 96-134 to 90-122. At least the number of projectiles is still the same.
