Cyrius203: Nice! Can you make one for shock and flame damage too?

rossan2229: Can you make a warden build (pure or subclass) but with double staff?

semcorda: I am trying "pure" pure frost build with Winter's Embrace, HotT and Grave Lord (only skill liines with "native" frost). And sustain really is a nightmare. I got so desperate that I think I will level Support skill line just to put Barrier as frontbar ultimate to get some additional mag recovery from passive. Maybe I will even add Flare to bump recovery up even more and minimize bar slot waste by at least getting some defense from bar passive effect.

Your idea with the Torchbearer to lighten the load on mag is intresting, I will definetely try it out.

Elementasic: This is the first build of yours that I recall seeing Infused used on the jewelery instead of Bloodthirsty, is there a mathematical reason behind this? Maybe I just missed the explanation in the video.

Naviblood1988: Been waiting for this since I heard about it on one of your streams!!! Just want to add since I played this game in beta till now, you are BY far the best build crafter I've ever seen. Much love for your work man.

spymate: Uncle Hyper made a good RP build so I expect good stats from you RP enjoyers ^^ Also don't forget to use frost skill styles if you own them

dyattz: Would love to see a 1 bar version for this

proto-t7k: When are we getting the one bar dragonkight heavy attack build?

MrsSleepy8: Oh NICE! I'm going to make one for fun xP

Thanks!

davidmacvicar334: Nice guide - I was trying something similar with Necro instead of Nightblade skills -- sustain is a pain there needs to be more frost sources with adequate cost and recovery that can synergize.

evancalgary7684: super cool build i love the frost theme so i might have to give this a go if i can get the gear and finally lvl up a warden

violetbliss4399: I've tried this type of setup both on warden and arcanist, and it's so annoying that it feels better on Arc. For once not because of beam or anything like that, but because you can add class mastery to scribed skills, so now tentacular dread can feel chunky without sacrificing the frost theme. For Warden I'd build it like this too, although i hadn't thought to use chilling torch other than as a RP meme. I was using staff just to spare myself magicka use via susceptability.

pjoterem141: cinema

jkk-b8k: Ive tried to create frost build and was surprised how good is elemental explosion with frost damage, you gonna try it, it crits about 110k with 1 cast

Frostingale: This looks great man! I never had much luck with tentacular dread. Did you try arcanist base with crux generating wield soul to use tentacular dread at 3x crux i have in the past and found that tentacular ended up being pretty shit.

TheFartingMan: What performs better between this and your elementalist build?

Aidan_Fire1: I assume lightning staff must have been a bit behind fire staff since you only mentioned fire and ice?

ЯрославСуський: What about Master Frost staff ?

isidroramos1073: Don't get me wrong, this is a very interesting build with a lot of good ideas I will most probably try one way or another with my Frost Warden, but... I am mainly a solo player, and I can't find a heal or a shield anywhere. Am I wrong if I assume this build is intended mainly for group use?

mickj1590: Everything is tome arcanist. This is the problem.

stephanluciw7703: Sorry, stopped watching the moment you said "I took HotT and Assa".

For once I actually thought you cooked something entirely unique given the nature of the theme, without relying on the broken subclassing combo... but alas, I was mistaken. A shame.

austinhartley4365: If you could possibly do a one bar variant of it with all focused on the frost damage aspect of this build that be really cool cause I'm trying to make santa

sneakymitchell7802: Big uptime for minor maim allows tanks to have something else than low slash

TheAlphaOmegaX3: Don't forget Destructive Reach! If you wanted to use it as a spammable, with frost staff, you most certainly can. Frost Staff is the only one that gets massively buffed when using the skill. It's initial hit hits way harder than flame or shock while also getting the benefit of the frost dot always up, proccing chill status effects like crazy. Also has 28 meter range if that's needed in a fight.

shapeshift13: what ui do you use

vossboss220: I'm actually kind of surprised fulminating Rune is excluded I mean it's not complete Frost damage but it does do some and also it costs your off resource
