POB : https://pastebin.com/jDrZeGJ5

I do not have pob code since i using mobile now.

Just wonder if you can give some advices about my gears, trees, skills which parts i need to upgrade or change.
Since there are no reference for ice crash as chamption. I looked reddit, forums and youtube but nothing really help.

Hopefully, i get some good advise from you.
Wish your best

Well it looks pretty similiar to this build. Atm I working on reworked version of this build and leveling a new char. This is my PoB which I am working towards to:

I probably will change a few things on the way but more less that is what I want to do.

What is the current problem with your build? Not enough dps? Not tanky enough?

Well both versions are totally viable... in the new version I tried to push the dps a bit more. I am not finished with the new version... yesterday I reached maps and I will do a lot of testing now but it will stay more or less the same. I will update the guide when I finished testing... can take while :)

I'm running more or less your reworked build. It's really nice and a lot of fun. Still have those 2 issues which I mentioned earlier:

For tough bosses, you need to swap gems (Inc AoE & Pulv vs Conc Effect and Ruthless), additionally I also alternate the Blood and Sand Aura (Blood for bosses, Sand for clearing).

Attack speed is a bit low, feels clunky at times. Might invest a bit in jewels or even spec Atk Speed on the tree.

Just checked wrt to Rage support: it's only better than Melee Phys Dam support at ~35 rage stacks, which takes a while to get to. On average, I would say Melee Phys Dam is more reliable (if you pick up loot, have to backtrack etc).
However, being able to pop Berserk for really tough bosses is nice - but then ofc you have to start collecting rage stacks all over again.

How does this look to you?

I have made a small change: not using Pulverize anymore for map clearing. AoE of course is significantly smaller, but with Sand Stance still ok even for open maps. For maps with tight corridors / small rooms, I also switch to Blood Stance.

Instead, I use Ruthless, so that there's no penalty on Attack Speed. Feels a lot smoother. Also, the mana cost is lower (helps in those rare occasions where you hit single or no mobs and run out of mana otherwise).

I switch out to bladestorm for uber and the builds largely for bossing.... but ice-crash is perfect for smashing maps.

Are you using ice-crash for the bigger stuff?

I just leveled my char this league but ice crash melted all bosses like crazy while leveling. I don’t think it is necessary to switch to an other skill.

I'm using a 6L carcass jack and multi-mod foils, the dps output is kind of insane.

Currently running this in HC. so far so good. If others have suggestions that depart from the overall guide let me know. Had an accident around lvl 50 so i had to start over. leveling has been smooth overall though. I plan to update once i actually make it into maps and kill Kitava.

Hi, I've been following Bashtart's build for quite some time now. Our build's are very similar.

I was wandering what you thought of :

Ice Crash, Fortify Support, Rage, Ruthless, elemental Damage with Attacks & Concentrated Effects

for the 6 link body armour setup ?

Replacing Rage with Pulverise also seems to give a big dps boost !!
