One bar build assistant tip

yadibroz

So I finally have the master weapon set to use that bonus for destructive clench which was nice but my damage is 3000 which is low while having frostbite so I am wondering what one set fit for a frozen build that do lot of damage and also what is the best monster set as well to complete my full frozen ice warden where I can play on solo dungeon and veteran and pvp?

i dont think you will be able to use the same one bar build for both PVE and PVP, they have different needs and such

destructive clench initial hit isnt that strong, because it has the direct hit (which is low) and the 20 sec dot it applies, along with the associated elemental status effect (depends on your staff)

personally, my frost themed warden uses iceheart monster + ice furnace (while it does fire, its very complementary with an ice build), the 3rd set is up to you or if your going 1 bar an oaken + arena weapon + filler set

the frostbite set seemed OK to me but not really that great in terms of dmg

ive used my warden for soloing dungeons and the solo arenas without issue, but not the best in pvp because the build doesnt work the same there

Oh I understand and you recommend me to use iceheart and ice furnace for more damage right and do you think runecurver will be a good set for it too or no?

iceheart is decent dmg and adds survivability (which is great for solo play)

ice furnace can trigger once per second as long as you have frost dmg on the target and adds roughly 1k extra dps (in an 8 meter aoe), and can trigger burning status effect

runecarver is OK, but works better if your on a really full heavy dot build, or with faster ticking dots (i use i on a mag dk build, but 8 of my 10 skills are dots), as the dmg from this proc only applies on the 3rd tick, which gets really bad dps for the 20 sec 2 sec tick rate dots

for a 2 sec tick rate dot, runecarver only procs every 6 seconds (most 20 sec dots)
for a 1 sec tick rate dot, runecarver procs every 3 seconds (example: wall of elements and most other ground dots)
for other cases:
templar jesus beam: procs runecarver once on the 3rd tick of the beam
arcanist beam: procs runecarver every 1.5 sec
necromancer tether: procs runecarver every 1.8 sec

in most cases azureblight is a better option to go with over runecarver, if you want something that works with dots

Thank you, for helping me out.
