Could this Frost Trozan build work in endgame?

Not very new to the game, been playing for a couple months but never reached real endgame.

I like ice aspect of Trozan Sky Shards, and the ice spike/seal of the night spammables. I don’t think there was dedicated set for it before the new expansion? After the new expansion I found these pieces that may work well together but I’m not familiar with what’s needed to be a real “ok” endgame build in Grim Dawn.

Very Barebone Grim Tools

The idea is that Zakull’s set gives

  • Pure Frost and Frostburn scaling
  • Boost to Siphon Soul and Trozan

Both SS and TSS still have cooldowns, so we just need a good spammable. This new horn converts all lightning from TSS to cold and gives pure frost/frostburn scaling as well.

We put Seal of the Night on the horn, instead of the usual TSS Seal of the Skies. Chillspikes from SoN works better here because of the additional frostburn damage?..

Welcome any criticism or corrections. Thanks!

You mean there was no Trozan Skyshard set before FoA?

So grindy to get or do you already have it? This one is good to start with Spectral Bludgeon - Rare One-Handed Scepter - Grim Dawn Item Database

I can point you to some old pre-FoA TSS builds for inspiration if you want

i think there was, but it’s focused on scaling both lightning and cold damage, so most if not all those TSS builds paired with Seal of Skies/Chain Lightning. None of them optimally uses Sea of the Night/Chillspike.

Whereas this new set exclusively scales only +frost/frostburn%, which makes chillspike spammable actually optimal here. and yeah planning to use that Bludgeon all the way through until i get that horn.

Just because I did not post those builds here does not mean they did not exist. I can see if I still have it around…

I had great expectations on Zakull as a Spellbinder and tested this as one of the first builds in FoA
The key idea is to drop a massive TSS charged with the onslaught stacks. It worked out pretty badly, and the strongest TSS in the endgame is Iskandra by far (like very far)

Wouldn’t TSS Zakull just prefer to use a fat 2 hander with CDR? Soulrend being the first thing that comes to mind.

I think this is quite juicy.

is this like not SR30 doable? im pretty new and not sure what the Iskandra TSS build is, is that using berzerker and onslaught and melee?

fwiw i think i was targeting something very close to what you had, but Sea of Night instead of Skies
