Dance of Fire & Ice

Build Overview

The most versatile build that excels in everything: survivability, damage, and incredible flexibility in combat approach. This build alternates between ice and fire elements for massive damage bonuses while maintaining solid armor and damage reduction. It performs great at all three ranges with mid-range offering the highest burst potential.

Key Features

Lacquered Bow: Legendary weapon that increases fire damage after ice damage and vice versa - the core of the elemental alternating strategy
Ice Dominance: Ice freezes enemies in place, giving time to unleash high damage attacks, heal, or reposition - the most reliable element in the game
No Focus Required: Battlecry Ring consumes health instead of focus, keeping focus full for bonus effects while enabling aggressive playstyle
Multi-Range Excellence: Throwing weapons hit multiple targets, bow deals massive range damage, close combat uses spin-to-win twirl dash

Playstyle

Elemental Alternation: Use fire damage to boost ice damage and ice damage to boost fire damage. Freeze enemies then use charged bow attacks to shatter them for massive physical damage. Combat Flow: Throw weapons at multiple enemies, use bow for distant targets, reposition with blink or evasive shot. The twirl dash rune uses weapon infusion to freeze enemies in its path. Aggressive Sustainability: Life steal gems and health-instead-of-focus mechanics create a self-sustaining combat loop. High dexterity (70) meets weapon requirements while boosting damage output.
