Build Guide

Introduction

This build is a so called "Generator Build" because our main attack is a primary attack (resource generating skill). In this case, our attack is the skill Crippling Wave: Tsunami. The "Shenlongs's Icy Fists" build provides great crowd control due to our main attack which freezes enemies. The skill Cyclone Strike: Wall of Wind does also freeze and on top of that, we use the gloves Frostburn which has a chance to freeze enemies. Along with the wrists Ancient Partham Defenders, which decreases incoming damage based on the amount of stunned (frozen) mobs around you, this build provides good survivabilty for high Greater Rifts. The main goal of the itemization is increasing the damage of primary skills and stacking CDR, Life on Hit and Attack Speed. This also applies to the selection of the paragon points, the items in kanai's cube and gems.

Life on hit

Life on hit is a crucial stat in this build. You should stack a bit Life on hit to be able to refill your life after taking damage. Already a small amount (Paragon + Life on hit on weapon) will help a lot because you are attacking very fast.
