Build Guide

This is a cold based frenzy build.

Due to the fact that it uses the LoN set, all items must be ancient.

A relatively easy build to play - mostly hold down left-mouse button, and cast whatever cooldowns you want. The clue is to always stay at max fury, to get the buff from Aquila Cuirass as well as the 100% uptime for the Band of Might, due to the reduced cooldown on Ground Stomp resulting in quite high toughness (if you feel tough enough, you can swap out the Deafening Crash rune with the Wrenching Smash rune, which adds extra utility by pulling mobs closer). For times of despair, you also have the Call of the Ancients to help mitigate the incoming damage - which can be used with Wrath of the Berserker to give you more burst if you want.

It is also vital that you use all the legendary gems - to maximize your damage output. The reason: with just LoN, you get 1200% damage increase, adding Bane of the Trapped (level 50) will get you: 1590% damage increase - and Bane of the Stricken upon that (level 50, 50 stacks) will get the damage increase to 2688.50% - ramping upwards as the fight goes on of course. Anything with +% cold damage and +% frenzy damage/+% generator damage is very good. You should also invest your gear into area damage, at least 100%, due to the fact that you have no real AoE.
