You will often find the target you charge to take very little damage, for no reason. Other sources of flat cold damage, like viruvium go above this.Ħ: charge is retarded, and wont do damage properly. Your melee splash hit therefore will not go above 32767. It will only apply your base cold damage, as shown in the stats screen (press 8)ĥ: the damage you gain from holy freeze caps at 32767, but the applied hit can go higher from %cold mastery. This makes mastery really powerfulĤ: your melee splash hits will not use the double dipped damage. It applies once to the skill itself, then again on the melee hit. in my experience: If my base hit does 5% damage, the melee splash will add another 1-5% on top of it.ģ: your holy freeze damage will double dip from %cold mastery. The way some mechanics work that are relevant to holy freeze dins:ġ: melee splash applies an attack that uses your basic attack rating, not your zeal attack rating.Ģ: melee splash will shot gun bosses (many hits hit the boss, many will miss due to low ar & block though). You can also repurpose this into a transcendence build, but I think melee is better. Not exactly sure if this is good as a ladder starter, but it certainly becomes very very strong. I just geared it out using stuff I already had, so there might be some budget gear I didn't think of.

I used it for ubers & sanctum, and im sure it can do cave of horrors as well.

Sup y'all, holy freeze din is a great build for boss killing & elite hunting, and mediocre for killing large groups.
