I got a non-set AAR build that imo looks pretty badass without any illusions

Normally my build’s offhand is a Pulsing Shard with Bound Wraith illusion but without the illusion it doesn’t match the rest of the outfit that well, so for the compo I’m using the Codex of Lies instead. I managed to beat SR65-66 with this setup, which is already many patches old so with some more optimization it might go even higher.

alrighty, build manages to clear SR50-51 within timer at times, guess that means it’s “technically” a "farm capable"build fashion? 
i really don’t wanna try run this through Crucible, it gets dicey enough in SR even pulling bosses solo(no camera exploit), and i’m not keen on multi boss/nemesis gangbang in crucible, as just certain nem/multi heroes gangup makes me sweat during the chunks and run like a panicked kitten.
50k acid retal and low overcaps is just not that awesome a combo even for a wannabe tank coward 
Accepted it and actually I don’t regret it 
Here I present: Reign of Ice and Acid, inspired by one ring 
The idea was to make a cold and acid damage hybrid which would use murmur and yugol devotions, both supporting those damage types, also added korvaak for additional damage and crits!
Initially it was an autoattacker, but I decided to use Yugol’s Hunger relic, it is a perfect relic for this particular build.
No illusions used, the only set item is the silver sentinel’s mask. For a non transmog I really like how it looks like. I like the blue and green balance, it looks especially amazing when you start spinning with voracious reach

I was able to beat all main campaign areas and roguelikes (though Tomb of the Heretic is luck based… all depends on mutators). The biggest issue is low damage and rr, unlike devotions there are not many items with both cold and acid damage and some are for casters where I need attack speed for spinning 
Leveling was fun, the class is a witch hunter. Leveled with pusquill’s tail for strong acid belgo shears and malkadarr’s blade for cold execution. The funniest thing was having very low max hp during whole leveling, I don’t know why it was that low, probably I had no luck with item drops ;(
At level 80 I had around 4,5k hp, Theodin one shot me at his third phase about 5 times before I killed him
I am happy with the results anyway, finally could make a cool looking build using 2 colors 
(spinning with yugol’s skill is the best looking thing ever)

Dude, with high res gif and GFX like that, even a toon with fewment grips and korvaaks horns would look shiny xD

Just want to ask: What do you think about Dawnshard Treads. Could be be a good addition to the Dawnshard (non)set?
NOTE: THere is not real working model.

Look how these boots already match the chest armor (mainly its lower parts):
[pants should probably changed]
Personally I’d rather have more universal boots, i.e. more golden boots because the existing ones never match anything. Also green color. Probably more colors I don’t remember at the moment.
