• Head: INT / CHC / AO% or VIT / Socket (Topaz)
• Shoulder: INT / VIT / Life% / AD
• Chest: INT / VIT / EliteDmgRed% or +Armor / Sockets (Topaz)
• Amulet: Cold% / CHC / CHD / Socket
• Gloves: AD or INT / AS / CHC / CHD
• Belt: INT / VIT / AS / CHD
• Bracer: Cold% / INT / VIT or LoH / CHC
• Pants: INT / VIT / +Armor / Sockets (Topaz or Amethyst)
• Boots: INT / VIT / +Armor / AO%
• Ring (CoE): AD or AS / CHC / CHD / Socket
• Ring (Compass Rose): INT / AD or AS / CHC / CHD / Socket
• Weapon: %Dmg or INT / AS / LoH or AD or INT / Socket (Emerald)
• Offhand: INT / AO% or AD / CHC / APoC

Secondary resists where possible, also secondary resistance to CC effects (to limit the time when frozen / feared), melee and ranged % reduction is also a nice to have.

Topaz in helm for the extra RCR. +Max AP on wand / source.

APoC is required for AP returns. It allows you to also deal damage when outside of the Cold CoE cycle, since your AP regen is higher. In combination with the AS on gear, this allows you to spam frozen orb as much as possible.

-----

Attack Speed is great for this build. I recommend quad gloves for this reason. In combo with AS on weapon, paragon, witching hour, and possibly on another ring, this gives anywhere from 1.86 to 1.96 AS. The breakpoints are such that having that ring roll as AS bumps you up 2 BPs, so it will be worth it considering. I'll list a breakpoint table below.

Area Damage is also good for the build. I recommend anywhere from 110% to 154% AD (that's 3-5 gear pieces and paragon).

LoH can go on Weapon or Bracer.

Priority on weapon is still having that AS roll first. After that it's up to you. If you prefer gearing defensively, I'd prioritize LoH on weapon. If you prefer gearing offensively, look for AD or %DMG on weapon (or both). INT is still a good filler, as long as you have at least AS and one of the other affixes I've listed.

-----

You can adjust AS, AD, and LoH to different levels, depending on preference. D3planner as linked above details these variations. The ranges as listed below for AD depend on if you have quad gloves, and / or if you opt for AD on source instead of AO%.

• "High AS" would be: 1.96 AS with 110% AD and higher LoH (such as on weapon).
• "High AD" would be: 1.86 AS with 130% to 154% AD and lower LoH (such as on bracer).
• "Balanced AS + AD" would be: 1.96 AS, 110% to 134% AD, and lower LoH (such as on bracer).
• "Balanced AD + LoH" would be: 1.86 AS, 110% to 130% AD, higher LoH (such as on weapon).

In the new video I went with the "High AD" option, but unfortunately was missing AD on one of my rings, so my AD in the video is only ~110%.

Which of these is best? Whichever fits your playstyle more. I usually prefer the 1.96 AS BP, with this build but having at least 110% AD does help out quite a bit with damage. "High AS" or "Balanced AS + AD" would be my preference with this build.

-----

You can also opt for amethyst in pants if feeling low on VIT.

You can also opt for VIT on helm.

Karini and CoE are interchangeable either worn or cubed. Wear whichever you have a better item for. Same with OID and Triumvirate.

Paragon Priorities

Max Resource is an option on paragon, though not required. However, do try to get +max resource on your wand and source. CDR to at least 5% then AS.
