I league started this in 1.13 and getting to maps was an absolute breeze. I immediately swapped to CI vortex/cold snap because the damage just wasn't quite where I wanted it for creeping frost. This is an amazing league start though.

I appreciate the information about this build, but as a beginner I don't understand anything you are saying. A lot of experienced players of a certain game have a bad habit of throwing out abbreviations that I don't understand. For example what is SSF friendly? I would like to try out this build. Unfortunately I don't understand half of what your talking about.

Your works appreciated and this games insane compared to what i used to play there's so much to learn and you make it much easier to understand, thanks.

Awesome!!!! Thank you for devoting your time and effort into this build guide!!!!!! I'll be trying this out as I made a character already to try this and used a different tree and it was originally for a 30 billion dps blade vortex occultist but turns out I hate blade vortex so switched to creeping frost with multiple projectiles but it just wasn't going smooth enough, I'll restart fresh using your build guide when I get back home from working away, you're awesome!!! 🙏🔥

Last season was the first time I played POE. This was the ascendency I settled on after struggeling with a few other characters. The idea of slowing cold damage, energy shields, and curses jumped out as a strong starter. After being inspired by one of your similar suggestion video's, I jumped into BOP and settled on a similar design. It was excellent, Excellent advice. And it will be my starter this season.

First time I tried PoE a few years ago, I went for my own build, an hybrid occultist totem/power charge build... Well no surprise, I got stucked at Act 5 and then dropped the game. Now, I'm following your guide and I'm having a blast for almost a week. The story mode was almost "godmode" and now I'm starting the Atlas and I'm still rolling on the game, not even using half of the build (still need Trigger wands, Equilibrium + curses). Thank you very much for the effort you put on your channel, I couldn't enjoy the game as much without this guide.

However if you get use to the game this build not excel in speed farming(maping), dont get me wrong, its far to be bad, there are just some faster build out there but if its not a factor for you, yuo will really enjoy playing creeping frost. By the way Big Ducks is my favorite poe content creator, he make really good and accessible build for everyone. Continue your good work!!
