Winter's Grasp - INSANE clear speed / boss dmg build

Today I'd like to share with you all my build I've been using since the shield node nerfs kicked in. I've linked my YouTube channel below where you can find highlights of the build to see if it's something you would play. I also have a in depth guide breaking down all the elementals of the build you'll need to know to get this up and running for yourself. There is also a link to Wolcen Universe where you can see the passive tree breakdown.

Yes, this is a meta build. Yes, this build is broken and I'd expect it to be brought back into line soon along with Bleeding Edge. So make the most of it while you can. Its mega fun, however be warned after a few expeditions the game decides to implode. So I recommend you log in/out every couple of dungeons.

This is a shadow version of the build which works around stacking ailments on the enemies, buffing our dps and the fact that you can make winters grasp instant cast once its skill level 62. And it gains even more strength once the skill hits level 82 where you can drop a cool down node and take extra damage node(s) and/or critical damage.

Along side Winter's Grasp I run Aether Jump, Bulwark of Dawn, Duskshroud, Mark of Impurity & Juggernaut. These skills complement the build a lot because they provide immunity to CC, extra defenses and small buffs to our damage. Alongside the personal heal from Bulwark means we don't need to use Health Potions, thus being able to use x2 will power potions to sustain.

I run a really high Transfer Time Reduction on this build. Every socket that can roll support has (or will have) a Eternal Amethyst socketed. Meaning our will power, if managed correctly barely runs out. Boosting out DPS to a point where you can clear these Expeditions so fast. Increasing our farming potential.

I hope you guys have as much fun with this build as I have had. Also keep an eye out for more of my builds coming out in the future.

Pretty much so, but I think this beats bleeding edge in a DPS race?

This has so much more sustain where as BE looks for the big crits?
