Is This Build For You
While the alternative for this build doesn't require multiple umbral formas, it's also a bit weaker as without even 1 Avalance(4) will no longer do full armor stips. But that's fine as this build has potent snow globes and is pretty easy to use at base, if you're a fan of [Frost] this build or a discounted version of this build are good bases for general use
Gameplay
Since this a general frost build there's not much to talk about here except the usual
- Hold a position with Snow Globe(3) , recast when necessary or once the invulnerability period on it runs out.
- Cast Avalanche(4) when enemies get into range to sunder their armor temporarily allowing you and teammates to quickly kill them. When Growing Power is active this will fully strip enemy armor.
Mod Alternatives
- Stretch can be swapped out for Augur Reach or Augur Secrets for shield gating/lower range
- Running more efficiency by taking out [Primed Flow] for [Fleeting Expertise] makes the armor strip from Avalanche(4) almost worthless, but it's worthwhile if you only care about Snow Globe(3)
Arcane Options
I'd only take out Arcane Enrgize if you're grouped with a support that can sustain your energy usage at all times, or have swapped Primed Flow out for Fleeting Expertise
- Armor arcanes for stronger globes (Guardian alone gives you globes with 50,038 health)
- Damage arcanes that don't require you to take damage like Arcane Rage
- I would avoid arcanes that require you to take damage (that aren't for survivability)
Synergy
- if you equip Synth Fiber onto a companion it allows you to pick up health orbs for Health Conversion without needing to lose health
- Synth Deconstruct allows companions to generate health orbs for Health Conversion
- [Nekros] and [Protea] can generate health orbs for Health Conversion
This build is downwards compatible with my other Frost builds
