Beginner build: Freeze - Smash Ideas

Hi all, new to the community and to the game. I'm a casual player, mainly focused in Rapag, campaign and story, less in end game grinds and build.

I'm currently at the beginning of act 2 and my character is a warrior, who focuses on the freeze mechanic to then smash frozen targets with a slam.

I use mainly:

Rolling Strike + cold damage
Ice Nova
Herald of Ice

My issue is, I don't even really know, if the herald of ice and the whole setting works. I feel like everything dies, before the freeze effect even happens, thus herald of ice is not even doing anything.

Does anyone have tips how to make this build work or is the freeze + herald of ice situation more an end game build because you can't freeze enemies that fast that early?

Cheers!

If it's taking several hits to freeze enemies, put passive skill points into freeze buildup.

My mercenary usually freezes mobs and even elites and rares in one hit.

The main thing is high ice damage = more freeze. And then freeze chance helps as well.

However the easiest way is to find ways to add additional power to the skill via "gain damage as" or attack power rings if it's a hit skill.

And then embitter in your target skill you want to freeze with and all extra power gained will convert to Cold.
