So,I been itching to try out some kind of cold caster build,but all I am able to find are dual weild melee nightblade combos
Anyone got some kind of traditional cold caster build?
Listed 6 builds in this topic - most are casters
can add my 2 recent non-mainstream Cold casters that I have yet to test:

Thnx,missed the caster ones somehow 
Kinda sad that there isnt a traditional base cold spell for the classes,unless im blind.
In the topic I listed only Shadow Strike is melee 
Like Trozan Sky shard, Rune of Haggarad and Drain Essence?
Fire and lightning skills are somehow more abundant in GD

Trozan feels weird to me,never liked it,and it still needs some conversion to do more dmg,drain essence i have a build with aether,so thats covered,rune isnt a very ‘‘traditional-like’’ skill,im thinking something in the sense of a straightforward frostbolt or frost lance/laser ability
This is true for all skills in Grim Dawn
Why not use Chillspikes / Ice spikes component skills? Or Winter King’s Might?
They are very thematic. Ice Spike on low level. This is of course in addition to other skills from your class.

Yeah I got the winter king wep,think thats the one im gonna go with :>
Rly nice videos showcasing those btw,rly awsome
The thing is it’s kinda a melee spell. May not look like that but you need to be pretty close to enemies to hit them with all 3 projectiles. Also need to watch out for terrain as it cannot go up the stairs like some other skills. Chillspikes better fit caster archetype.
Also for the low level version there’s a Blue Print you can buy Blueprint: Crown of the Winter King
High level one blueprint cannot be bought.
Here’s a whole table with item skills
Thnx a lot for all the info,yeah even if its more a melee skill it feels caster-ish,its not like the melee dual weird auto hitting cold ones that obviously look and feel melee
