So, 100% you will need pierce to clear.
Depending on gear, the best setup should be:
Icicle, trap and mine, swift, controlled destruction, cold pen, and pierce that get swapped out for hypo or inspiration or empower or ele focus or awakened cold.
So basically when I have gggbbr, I am force to swap in between Awakened cold pen and Pierce and keep Empower there all the time.
Had a question about acedency, cant see yours in yr profile and was wondering if you prefer keeping Born in the Shadows with the lost of Sand and Stone from the Prism gardian set up.

Will depend on gear. If you are crit capped, keep shadows, if not, then go for explosives.

Hey, have a new doubt.
What about use in weapons gem setup, one with
CWDT + Steelskin/IC + Frost bomb
and another with
CWDT + ??? + Frostbite/Cold snap/Frost wall
EDIT: I forgot there is no point to have two CWDT with IC-Steelskin, but i'm interested to know if anyway would be useful to cast two of these cold skills when we receive damage.
And my second doubt, is: If I can get a gloves with Enfeeble/Temporal Chains on hit, would be better to replace Blasphemy+Enfeeble and use another aura? I, for example, buy one with Temporal Chains + Despair on hit (double corrupt), but I forgot that I can only use ONE curse at a time (too many mechanics sometimes confuse me LOL), so I'll see what I do with them because I don't know how double curse works in gameplay if I don't have the Whispers of Doom node.
The first setup will work, I’ve used it before it isn’t terrible.
As for Curse on hit, we don’t hit, so it doesn’t work. Doesn’t apply with mines.
Mines doesn't count as hit? Holy... I'll never understand this game.
So, what you think about Frostbite, Cold snap, Frost wall? Can be useful for this build?
So mines do hit, but it just not you doing the hit. Thus anything that says on hit or on kill won’t work (Barring HH for some reason)
Frost wall is okay, not super useful, frostbite is bad though. You always want enfeeble.

Needing some help with gear. Can the Icicle build work on a 1 ex budget? It's my first miner and That's what I Can afford for now. Would a 5L Tremor Rod for the main attack and a Shavs work for the low life version?
I'm aiming for yellow and low red maps for now

Icicle will not function on that budget for LL, but you may be able to get a CI version going with tremor rod. I’d suggest starting with pyroclast though and switching as you gain currency.
The CI gear I linked in the Op should be a good place to start, at this point in the league most of that gear should be very cheap.

Youve mentionned an Elder/ Crusader ring base would be interesting. I think I am going to go for that I see +15% energy shield possible as an Affix. I was wondering if I should go with an Opal base or Diamond base. I know its going to get pricey but what would be the best?
For rare glove what else can I do appart from the high ES roll. I can put a Crusader orb with a 50% chance to hit Global crit but a lower roll is craftable. I am looking for something extra on the glove.
Also related to crafting the best way to craft -9% cold is just Dense+ Frigid on a good enchanted base, right?
Thx

Opal base for sure on the ring. We cap crit on high end gear, so don’t need the crit.
As for globes, the best is probably the incursion mod for damage against chilled mobs.
Correct on the helm.

Hey, this build has been really fun so far, been able to clear everything i've attempted, but the clear speed on sextanted T16 maps has felt a little lackluster, is this just a feature since 3.9 increased enemy resistances? Or am i doing something wrong.
