Glacial Bolt Proof of Concept

You can league start glacial bolt entangle as a two button build and transition fully into a CoC setup in the end game. Honestly one of the best builds I've ever played, insane sleeper build this league.

Multishot and Fortress are bait imo compared to just scaling AoE so the base 9 wall fragments can shotgun with better damage supports.

If you use CoC entangle you need to use upheaval instead of Branching Fissures because Branching Fissures can crash instances sometimes lol.

The wolves from pounce wont target icewalls but when supported by biting frost can also detonate walls with both their leap when they leap to an enemy near a wall and with their melee attacks aoe cleave if they have enough AoE, even when they are supported by brutus brain. Nothing funnier than prestacking a couple walls and watching your brutus brain wolves instantly delete a 10mill hp boss while you stand there doing nothing

That looks sick, maybe with plaguefinger you can even add some poison in there too! I use the vine on my poison burst WH to put pustuless on mobs the clear is fantastic it's such a great addition of a skill utility through the roof.

Neat, now I can fry my pc attempting entangle CoC frost wall

This is pretty cool looking though. I need to watch more but do you end up taking a bunch of skill effect duration to keep the entangle on the ground?

Interesting.. I wonder if entangle would work with Frost Wall spell (been wanting Frost Wall to be like the main damage dealer or primary skill)

Can you explain what makes Glacial Bolt better than doing the same build with Frost Wall?

Feels like it would be better to double dip Spell Damage modifiers so there must be a unique reason for using Glacial Bolt which I can't tell at a glance.

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Is there a reason for using Fortres I over Fortress II? Have you noticed less AOE affecting the walls?

I thought they nerfed it so the first few seconds it has less life aka less dmg?

What does glacial bolt do here?

Edit: oh, i thought it was frost wall

Entangle will have its hit rate nerfed to oblivion, mark my words. They did the same thing with Blade Vortex in PoE 1 when it was first released. You used to be able to get up to 50 blades out, now it's 10 (the hit rate was adjusted, though). GGG doesn't like things hitting many times, so it was a little surprising that they added it like this in the first place. Great concept, though!
