Hello, i feel like it isn't really being mentioned anywhere, but in ruthless, since you most likely won't have a 6 link, or good ways of scaling damage, the easiest way to scale damage is to just use many different skills. The premise here is that on non bosses you just fire trap and maybe curse a rare here or there, and on bosses where you struggle, you are unloading your whole kit. Here is the POB: Lvl 98 with 2-3 mod gear, no 5 link, the mods affixes and bases are not tier 1, usually tier 2-4 (except the weapon). Should be overcapped for curses, 600k boss

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

-------------------------------------------------------- FOREWORD AND NOTES: This build has been adjusted for the great nerfening of builds from the 3.15 patch notes. The bad news is that this build lost a lot of damage, but the good news is that we get multistrike with Shield Charge and it should make this skill good enough. I am currently assuming that Shield Crush will have the same bonus damages apply as Shield Charge, in which it got changed to 4 to 6 from 3 to 4. It is also possible that Shield Crush will have the same bonus damages as Spectral Shield Throw, in which that got changed
