Yeah, maybe if it didn’t have the additional flat melee damage.
I can think of either going:
Melee cold mage with shatter strike that utilizes on Maybe ele nova Cold channeled (if thats possible) and use teleport with nova rune to bring in movement into the melee/channeled caster mix. And using the new ice Barrage to cast between attacking melee or channeling! The Freeze rate could be utilized by either of the skills (e.g. CC through ice Barrage).
Not up to date with the skill trees…
And shaman of course with the melee skill specced to ice and the channeled snow-boulders-dropping-from-the-sky-skill would probably be an Option too! With Tornado specced to follow you and boosting movement/attack/cast Speed slightly and taking the lightning nodes from tornado too, and maybe adding maelstrom to it one way or another!
Also not up-to-date with the skill trees, so had to check whether you can utilize the Freeze with either the ice specc from melee skill from shaman, or do it with the boulders (or both to some extent), and to also see which works better gameplay-wise.
And would probably have a bear running with me or something for extra safety… use taunt, Position, and cast the boulders! (maybe the upcoming re-visited skill tree from bear will bring good addition and incentive in regards to the ice-themed shaman!)
To be honest… shatter it and make good weapons… as sad as it is. This weapon is subpar to a 4T3 craft with good stats for a certain build. This staff isn’t going into any good direction.
Warpath + some instant cast sent thing?
But then you wouldn’t be benefiting from any of the freeze multi. That’s why I said it was a bit awkward with a combination of spell & melee affixes.
Which I didn’t, but was what I meant…
Yeah I posted in haste
that’s the one imo
