(Same class tree as above build)
For this build, we are focused on getting
Tome of Rhonin,
Tome of Antonidas,
Shimmer,
Rune of Power, and
Time Anomaly. We will be giving up a capstone to get both of the passive stat traits, which means we have extra points to spend for utility higher on the tree.
On the class side, we start on the left with
Ice Block and put two points into
Winter's Protection to grab
Mirror Image.
Shatter is not optional, so we also slot this in.
We already know that
Rune of Power is something we want on the next tier, so we need to pick up
Remove Curse and either
Spellsteal or
Slow. Frost already has a lot of slows so we pick
Spellsteal.
With one additional point placed into
Invisibility, the next row opens up with
Rune of Power. From here, we put two points into
Arcane Warding for a 6% reduction to magic damage taken to unlock
Shimmer/
Ice Floes.
Temporal Velocity is our next pick to open up a path to our capstone.
Going back up the tree, we slot in
Incantation of Swiftness,
Alter Time, and either
Blast Wave or
Mass Polymorph to get access to
Tome of Antonidas.
Tempest Barrier is the alternative to
Mass Polymorph/
Blast Wave but it costs three points instead of one. After placing our second point into
Tome of Antonidas, the final row opens.
It feels bad, but we put three points into
Flow of Time to get access to
Greater Invisibility then
Time Anomaly.
At this point we can either make our way to
Dragon's Breath and
Meteor or go for
Tome of Rhonin. Crit is important for a lot of talents like
Piercing Cold and
Icy Propulsion, so instead of going for another capstone we go crit. Unfortunately to get to
Tome of Rhonin we have to either spend 3 points on
Cryo-Freeze or choose between
Reduplication and
Reabsorption.
Reduplication and
Reabsorption both require direct damage which means they are essentially worthless outside of PvP. We pick up either one then slot in
Tome of Rhonin. At this point we have 3 points to spare. We can't get a capstone, but there are other situationally useful talents to pick up.
Ice Nova is a decent option since it is instant, deals moderate damage, cleaves, freezes, and has a short cooldown. Seems good!
Master of Time is useful since we have
Alter Time.
Cone of Cold is my last pick here, I only picked it because it gives me an instant cast slow.
Tempest Barrier is probably the best option here but the absorb is so small with one point that it doesn't really matter.
