Looking for a fun way to abuse the new freezing pulse threshold jewels?
Hey everyone!
So I'm super excited about the new Freezing Pulse jewels! Freezing Pulse has been one of my favorite skills since early beta even in spite of it almost never having a stable place in the meta.
On paper the jewels obvious look as if they're an intended solution to solve the AoE problem of self casting freezing pulse.
However, I have another fun use for them that I think a lot of people tend to overlook. A totem build!

That's right. I've been developing a Tri-Totem freezing pulse build (using Soul Mantle) for quite a while that's actually quite effective and freezes pretty much everything that can possibly be frozen!
Obviously, it doesn't have the fastest clear in the world given the state of some of the ridiculous OP movement skills in the game, but it's still a fun/relatively safe build to mess around with (especially if you got wand+shield or dagger/shield as opposed to dual wand!)
While the new threshold jewels aren't explicitly needed for totems thanks to Rain of Splinters it's nice not having the reduced damage!
Additionally, you use up to two of them gems and/or even combine them with reign of splinters for an absolutely absurd about of projectiles and area coverage! Really looking forward to testing stuff out in the leagues, thinking possible 2 gems to get enough proj for what is essentially a GMP would be perfect!
Anyways, if you guys are interested in the build at all feel free to take a look at it and some of the content it can clear! I'll be happy to answer any/all questions! :)
