[3.25] Ice Crash-Jugg-2h-Axe-Crit (FREEZE THE GAME) 100% Crit Rate Full Screen Explosions
 Check out the forum here and see the people who are attempting break 100 Million DPS full screen explosions! Insanity Exile! <3 I'd like to highlight a video from Famuel, someone who is pushing the character way beyond the guide. The guide is meant so everyone can start. This guys much better at making videos than me. So check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJeiceiGU5k This guide is done. It is in a perfect place for casual and hardcore alike, with further chase items to boost the character but none needed to beat the game. Cheers. <3 Ice Crash doesn't just blow up screens, it freezes them and slows action speed which is insanely defensive using offence alone. With your immense strength you can become a god amongst exiles! IIIIIIICEEEEEE CRAAAAAAASH This is my Ice Crash Level 100 PoB. It uses my real in game items. (PoB updated 8/10/24)(Mana Fix)(Videos taken before fix) https://pobb.in/jA6NGbKqqcPj This passive tree is the way to succeed. I am 5 Ice Crash Characters deep. Follow my Passive Tree. It is made from thousands of hours of testing (myself), with everyone in this forum included (ten bajillion hours). If you do not I will only tell you to fix it and sound like a big old jerk. Every mastery here is exactly what makes this character flow. That includes not autoexerting. Learn to time your warcries and be a god. Once you are comfortable with the character. Then path off into your own ideas/autoexerts. Current character in 3.25 Pretty poor but insanely strong. Need Watcher's eye with cold pen still. https://poe.ninja/builds/settlers/character/HeroEvermore/IceCrashJuggGuideMaster?type=exp&i=0&search=class%3DJuggernaut%26skills%3DIce%2BCrash%26weaponmode%3DTwo%2BHanded%2BAxe%26items%3DOskarm%2CThe%2BPandemonius%26sort%3Dehp 3.25 Ice Crash Juggernaut FEATURING FREEZING THE ENTIRE SCREEN AT ONCE 100% CRIT RATE 100% HIT RATE 100% WHY IS EVERYTHING FROZEN MID AIR 100% WOW THIS MELEE 100% THIS BOSS DIDNT EVEN ATTACK KEKW I LOVE ICE CRASH 13+ Bajillion/Million Guardian Boss DPS. (People have DPS at 70mil now. Crazy. Still scalable.) 8 Endurance charges. 4 Frenzy charges. 3 Power charges. How I rate Ice Crash overall. I have played the most OP builds for many leagues so I feel I can compare rationally. Damage Overall 4/5 - This is 100% crit/hit. AoE Damage 5/5 - We can kill an entire screen in 1 button. Single Target DPS 4/5 - You need cold penetration for the games toughest mobs. Tankyness 3/5 - We are a high damage Jugg, not your normal Tank style. This may be more like 4/5 since I can tank all of Shapers beams and slams. Crowd Control 5/5 - One button can freeze the entire screen. It's the most beautiful thing you will ever see in PoE. Visuals 5/5 - You want to play a skill that looks gorgeous, this is it! Automaton MTX activated! Difficulty 3/5 - This is not an easy build. We are crit gods, we sacrifice a lot to become one. I do not suggest this for a person who just found Path of Exile. I would play something simpler such as Summon Raging Spirit (SRS) or Holy Relic of Conviction. This is melee. We die at times. It is part of the game. Fun 5/5 - Anyone with a strong Ice Crash character will tell you what a blast this is. It's all over the forum here. This build is a work in progress as the original guide was done in 2020* This is what weapon you should try to recreate. Though you can actually make better as well. (from my 2020 Ice Crash character) Added current wep as well. You need 2 items to make this build. I also always use. (because it's the most comfortable) Button setup, very easy to manual. 75% of gameplay is pressing E and R during combat. Tip for new players. All skills need to be set to "Always attack without moving"  The Masteries. These create the build. Axe Mastery (2) - Enemies Killed by your Hits are destroyed - 30% increased Damage while in Blood Stance, 15% increased Area of Effect while in Sand Stance Critical Mastery (2) - 50% increased Effect of non-Damaging Ailments you inflict with Critical Strikes - +25% to Critical Strike Multiplier against Unique Enemies Warcry Mastery (2) - Recover 15% of Life when you use a Warcry - Remove all Damaging Ailments when you Warcry Blind Mastery (1) - 60% increased Critical Strike Chance against Blinded Enemies Cold Mastery (1) - Enemies near targets you Shatter have 20% chance to be Covered in Frost for 5 seconds Life Mastery (2) - +30 to maximum Life - Skills cost life instead of 15% of mana cost. Two Hand Mastery (1) - 40% increased Damage with Hits against Rare and Unique Enemies Videos: Disclaimer I get very nervous recording and am running a mana starved version of my build (fixed). I took these all back to back. Unedited videos. They are from impressive but show an older guy can beat the game with Ice Crash.

I suggest using Earthshatter until you get Ice Crash. It's a very fun skill early on. ------------------------OLDER------------------------ Level 53 PoB. To clear campaign with easily. https://pobb.in/UPNJ5i4yxfO7 Link to Ice Crash Juggernauts: https://poe.ninja/builds/settlers?class=Juggernaut&skills=Ice+Crash&weaponmode=Two+Handed+Axe&items=The+Pandemonius&sort=ehp these are linked accounts, they grow as the league goes on. Some are very strong already. These are one's wearing the correct 2 items for the build. This is my favorite melee skill in any ARPG ever created. Thank you GGG for bringing us back. I have one single goal here. To create the most FUN Ice Crash character in Path of Exile. For me that starts with Juggernaut. My favorite things about this character. Fat AoE. Super high crit so everything is frozen. Juggernaut because handsome (ascendancy). Easy endurance charges. Flexibility in directing atlas towards so many great nearby benefits (left side of tree is pog). Ice Crash has my favorite MTX in game, Automaton. Very strong in Heist which has some of the highest value items in game, especially this league with the "Ring Mirror" (Kalandra) thing back. Makes Delve silly easy. Melee offers a real challenge. I just beat the game on easy mode for 2 leagues and it get's boring. Many asking how to craft weapons and I will admit I am not the right person to ask that. Though here is what I do. I harvest spam Phys/yellow juice or I delve fossil usually. Cold/Phys/Crit/Lucky for fossils usually. You can also essence but they are insanely expensive this league compared to these methods where I get it for free through playing. I wish I had more but I am just exalt slamming after a good hit usually to make my weps.  ---------------Even Older-------------------- Ice Crash Juggernaut final Harvest depth list 9/11/20. IGN: IceCrashGodofToucan  2h Axe Crit Ice Crash Juggernaut. Huge AoE. Chill and Freeze everything. Kill bosses easy. Delve it up. Survive chunky hits cause you're tanky. The Goal I saw the new Ice Crash coming in 3.11 and decided to make a crit focused build to freeze the game. This was my creation. Inspired by Fleshripper Axe and free Ice Crash conversion. While most went Earthquake builds I saw huge advantage to the AoE with Ice Crash being able to protect you better while Chilling and Freezing. I really never expected my damage to get to these numbers and have been overjoyed by the private messages and thoughts about the build. Love this community! I had not made a youtube video in 11 years before this! This was my 3.11 league starter and Ice Crash is fun the moment you can snag it. Pros: 17+ Million Shaper DPS (20+Mil with Loreweave) 1 Button Mapping or 3 button warcry shotgun style game play. Simple. Only needs one 6 link (for Ice Crash) 8 Endurance/5 Frenzy/4 Power Charges/8 Exerted Attacks 90% Phys Reduction 90% Crit Rate 100% Hit rate Explodes entire screen (no need for explodey chest) No Cluster Jewels or gimmicks. Meaning it scales very simply and easily as you level and gear up. Avoids Cluster nerfs for life. Not full of Harvest craft items that are impossible to make. All content viable. Most laughable. Neutral: This is not a slow attacking 1 shot Ice Crash Version. Nor is it a scaling attack speed focused version. It's balanced as to be viable for all content including delve. The goal was to hit that new Ice Crash before the previous third tick was going off. This is why I can stand still face tank in shocking ground with spawns all over me in my delve video. Cons: Melee/If you can call blowing a screen up melee. No Ele Reflect Maps Weaker at reduced life and mana regen/leech mods. Ascendancy Order: Undeniable Unflinching Unrelenting Unyielding Okay to use Unstoppable early on if you're dying to stuns before getting the boots for the build. Gems Updated for 3.12 Build (9/21/20) Switched Helmet and Glove setups due to socket color. Armour: Enduring Cry-Seismic Cry-Intimidating Cry-Second Wind-Blood and Sand-Increased Area of Effect Weapon: Ice Crash-Pulverise-Fist of War-Fortify-Awakened Melee Physical Damage-Awakened Elemental Damage with Attacks Gloves: Hatred-Herald of Ice-Leap Slam-Faster Attacks Helmet: Cast When Damage Taken-Frostbite-Molten Shell-Blood Rage Warcries. Order of importance. 1) Enduring Cry as needed for charges (ignore if Leap slam is giving you full charges) 2) Seismic Cry for monster packs=Leap Slam stun on packs into Ice Crash+Seismic knock-back/Interrupt effect (this is our standard 3 button rotation when at full endurance charges) Leap Slam>IceCrash>SeismicCry (though we can Ice Crash spam as well) 3) Intimidating Cry for bosses/Intimidate effect (Alternate this and Seismic for maximum Exert bonus) Example boss combo assuming 0 endurance charges. IceCrash> EnduringCry> IceCrash> SeismicCry> IceCrash> IntimidatingCry> Ice Crash until No Exerted attacks are left>Repeat In reality. As seen in my videos. Most things are dead before this combo ends. Sometimes I'm lazy and just slap the boss with a war cry and burn him down with ice crash spam but this is the ideal way to maximize damage with exerted attacks. What I love about this build. Chilling and Freezing things adds an insane amount of survivability (reduced action speed and stuns) I'd never seen in my other Jugg builds. I do not need increased area support to kill an entire screen (amen for pulverise). When I am at full charges mapping I feel like a god and a simple snow flake of damage one shots everything in my way. Deep delve easy.

Hey, are you able to do a video of your Build? Maybe in the harder Content like a fully juiced Map/ a strong guardian Map?
Looks very interesting! | |
" I JUST started a new job so my time is very limited right now sadly. I also actually play this game using a cloud gaming service (not going to advertise which) so it makes a little harder (but i can record)! I will work on a video guide and show how I send Crusaders into oblivion before next season! As I plan on playing this again. Last edited by HeroEvermore on Sep 17, 2020, 9:49:37 PM

I just wanted to say I'm having an absolute fucking blast playing this build. It combines 2 of my favorite playstyles in PoE - freezing + meaty Melee.
Seriously if someone is looking at this build and on the fence, I highly recommend it. Very very satisfying gameplay. Just got to maps and have not yet gotten tired of the massive screenwide frozen slams :D |

does this build can a8 sirius deathless, t16+ 100% delirium ? uber elder ?
| |
" Oh man you made my day by reading this. This was my first from scratch self build with a skill I had never tried before. I am so glad you are enjoying it as much as I do! I cant wait to play this next season as well and take it even further! I put a LOT of work into min maxing this in PoB and there wasn't much to go on since barely anyone went with Axe/Crit Ice Crash. Happy Sunday and hope you find the end game as fun as I do with this build! Last edited by HeroEvermore on Aug 23, 2020, 3:33:49 PM

" Yes and I also killed all the delve bosses with this build. As far as delirium 100%, yes, but not all the time. Because some maps arent great for a leap slammer. Though you can certainly use dash/flame dash as well to speed that up I imagine. I just have always loved leaping onto my enemies and getting that group stunned for the ice crash. Deathless Sirus I find more about knowing where to move, the characters max phys reduc and ive killed a8 sirus this season, several of them deathless. I still find the fight totally horrible though and there are way better builds for Sirus. That said, this build has been capable of anything I've faced.
