Hello Guys
First of all, I want to mention that I’m a little new to the game, so sorry for any noobness!
I had the idea of creating knights/warriors based on elements (I started to write a book about it, so why not?). I managed to find similar builds for my theorycrafts so I’m ok with lightning (lightning warden - already around level 60), earth (physical warden) and fire (fire/physical commando - already level 41), but I’m having trouble with ice.
My first idea was to use a Battlemage (to keep Soldier as an standard in all builds), using Soldier for Cadence, defense and utility, and the Arcanist providing the cold damage.
(My idea about the skills: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/p25wwrxZ)
But after some research I saw lots of people saying that (at least before Ashes of Malmouth) Battlemages are terrible to gear, and that there is no gear that combines cold and physical damage (except the Leaviathan Two-Handed Mace). I could not find recent information on this, neither saw new cold Battlemage builds.
So, you guys know the game much better than me. Can you tell me if my idea is now (after Ashes of Malmouth) viable? And if it is, can you give me some tips about items, skills and devotions?
If it’s not viable, should I replace one of the masteries (or even both)? I was trying to keep Soldier for preference and Arcanist for the visuals (also I like the skills, specially OFF and TSS). I could replace Soldier with Shaman without question, if it helps.
My goal is to beat the main game without trouble. I’m not worried about Crucible Gladiator, at least not with this build.
And if it helps, I prefer tanks than glass cannons. And I usually play with my wife, so it’s not a solo journey.
I hope you guys can help me and I appreciate and thank you all for any help and for your time.
