This is a build I have been wanting to make for quite a while and finally decided to make it this league due to large buffs from new gems introduced this patch

I league started as a Hybrid Cold Caster/Cold DoT build with Creeping Frost as a hit based spell and Cold Snap for supplemental damage, which was very smooth throughout the campaign and early maps.

Mapping is great and incredibly smooth especially with Herald of Ice utilizing the new Scornful Herald Exceptional Support gem.

Bossing is also great with a very comfortable 14-15m DPS, very high damage uptime, as well as 30% Chill and Freeze on Pinnacles.

Defensively we have a whole lot going on.

Close to Max Block, a Large ES pool with Chaos Inoculation, 26-36% Reduced Damage dealt by enemies as well as 10% reduced action speed from Eldritch Blasphemy + Frigid Wake + Maddening Presence + Sap on Block Shield, 20% Less Damage Taken from Flesh and Stone, 4 Endurance Charges, Blasphemy Enfeeble (which I believe is a really great and underrated defensive layer), Crit Immunity and the ability to ignore Hexproof monsters from Hexpass Support, 30% Chill on everything as well as Freezing the whole screen with Freeze Proliferation combo'd with Occultist Screen Freeze every 4 seconds, Frost Shield for Bossing Defense + Crit Capping + Applying Bonechill (another very underrated skill gem that adds insane value defensively and offensively if you aren't Crit Capped), Shock Immunity from Tempest Shield, Chill and Freeze Immunity from Occultist, Abberath Pantheon for Ignite and Burning Ground, and Curse Effect Reduction from our Diamond Flask. (I think that's everything)

For Recovery we use High ES Regen, ES Leech with Instant Leech, ES on Block shield if you want to craft one (I didn't), and you could also go for an ES on Hit Discipline Watchers Eye but I just went for more damage.

Overall this is definitely my favorite build I've ever played and I highly recommend it. If anyone has questions or suggestions I'd love to read them, thank you.
