Ignorant question incoming. What is a 20/20 shield?

4 faceted Monarch (either a plain one, or one with fhr or life...)

Ah okay so referring the cumulative facets. Thanks! @uuee

So reporting back on the Arctic Blast build. As awesome as it looks when blasting everything in front of you, the dmg over time and mediocre damage in general I was able to get out of it wasn’t worth it. I just kept laughing when I was straight blasting everything though.

Did you try combining it with the Hurricane tho? I still think Arctic Blast is one of the best damage skills for blasting thru Normal and Nightmare plus you can do short directional bursts of ice which looks mega silly xd Its biggest flaw is that it doesn't scale that well in Hell due to res/imm and that it's animation is quite slow after moving (on the other hand I never went fully into FCR to minimize that effect) and ofc it becomes if-y and finicky (at best) at players 5+ Ofc it's nowhere near Fire Druid or Wind (I haven't tried Wind one yet but from what I heard), however it is mega fun to just run around absolutely massively slowing down everything around you because all of the effects stack Arctic Blast/ Hurricane + Arach's "slow target by" effect + Holy Freeze aura! In the end, glad you had some fun out of it

Arachnid Mesh's slow effect is only applied on attacks (melee and ranged) but not on spells.

Oh? I didn't know that. Thought it was passive effect in general... So you are saying if I was to melee them with my Cold Druid they would be even slower? Eeeeeexceeeellent! Muahahahhahha

Yes, that's exactly what I was telling you.
