PoE Ruthless, Cold builds

TRINITY IS A DEAD MEME UNFORUNATELY, for endgame BLIZZARD CROWN IS IN THE MEME BIN NEXT TO TRINITY The hardest part of this build on league-start, by far, is Act1. To get past Brutus and Merveil, you can use any combination you want, but it's going to kind of suck no matter what. You can use: Stormblast Mine + Orb of Storms Puncture + Chance to Bleed Viper Strike + Chance to Poison/Efficacy Ancestral Protector + Frost Blades + Frost Bomb Blade Trap o

FAQ TRAUMA GAINS 1 STACK PER ATTACK (worded so it doesn't stack multiple times with multistrike basically) 30 STACKS? HOW? -Trauma support lasts for 6.9 seconds, boneshatter trauma lasts for 6 seconds -We scale duration on the tree (45%) -4.55(attack speed)10(duration of stacks) = 45 trauma stacks -If you are killing yourself with damage, take Leech Recoup mastery!

TLDR: Frozen Legion possibly (i.e. not confirmed or hinted at by anyone at GGG AFAIK) scales similarly to Shockwave, gaining CDR and EAD please please please remember to cross-check when gem information is dropped and do not take this as gospel - it is hypothetical although at least an educated guess It's a decent 6th link for average attack speed builds It might be mainable if your weapon is exceptionally slow, but Heatshiver is likely the most straightforward way to scale it for now. 4 sample builds to get your own theorycrafting started, although those
