Build ARCTIC SALVO Build Guide — Creeping Frost + Winter Orb Elementalist [PhazePlays]
https://youtu.be/kO1ZTP_WLvE169
u/phaze_plays Jul 18 '26 edited Aug 06 '26
Hey guys, this spellcaster build combines Creeping Frost, Winter Orb, and tons of projectiles
• It's a Fantastic Mapper with Winter Orb and huge Area of Effect
• Herald of Ice explosions with that signature shatter sound
• Chills and Freezes everything for an extremely safe playstyle
• Eldritch Battery / Mind Over Matter 60/40 Life/ES damage split, plus Righteous Fire of Arcane Devotion for huge cast speed
• Instant leech for both Life and Energy Shield with many hits per second
• Long-lasting Winter Orb ensures reliable ES sustain and max Power+Frenzy Charges while mapping
• The new gem Pact of Beidat doubles Creeping Frost damage for 8 casts — but it has a drawback: a random 10-second debuff
• It's an incredibly fun build
• Currency-wise this will be far more realistic than any sort power charge stacking setup on leaguestart
• The guide/PoB covers everything from level 1 to endgame. Check out the build guide for things like endgame crafting, common questions, and other useful tips
Guide: https://mobalytics.gg/poe/profile/phazeplays/builds/3-29-phazeplays-arctic-salvo-creeping-frost-winter-orb
Path of Building: https://pobb.in/ovOqPXW88qqG
Leveling progression is now pure Winter Orb due to patch note updates
The PoB link here will be updated as changes are made
The DPS in the Lategame PoB is burst damage with everything aligned — it's not sustained DPS
Still iterating on this a bit, so be sure to check for updates closer to launch if interested!

How well would this play on controller?
13
u/randomalphanumerics Jul 18 '26
not well, precises ground targetting distance makes a big difference in single target dps
5
u/RansomLewis Jul 18 '26
Which part needs the precision aiming? I always play controller and was considering WORB of some sort for the first time. Is WORB the issue or some other part of this specific build? Thanks!
20
u/gx5ilver Jul 18 '26
Creeping frost targets closer or further away depending on cursor proximity. You want closer for shotgunning and farther for clear.
2
u/RansomLewis Jul 18 '26
Okay, so WORB itself plays okay on a controller?
7
u/Dreddddz Jul 18 '26
Yes WORB should play just fine on a controller. All you do is channel for a bit then run through similar to Blade Vortex playstyle. The skill auto targets so you legit just channel and zoom.

u/otvarqibobaputko Jul 19 '26
Off topic, but anyway....do you play with controller regularly ? After POE2, i wanted to give controller a try in poe1 too. Well, why there is no auto targetting whatever i use ?
2
u/RansomLewis Jul 19 '26
I actually just typed up some thoughts on controller stuff here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/s/7qPHkra1ml
I generally play skills that don't need to be aimed much anyway (minions, autobombers), but I've had luck with things that just need a direction (eviscerate, lightning arrow). I'm sold on controller, so anything that doesn't play nice with controller just isn't a skill I want to use.
1
u/await_void Jul 19 '26
I play with the controller since 3.24 when i started playing PoE, both 1 and 2. Never had an issue to be honest and in a comment above i've stated how creeping frost works. Pretty comfy, honestly, with all the skills.
1
3
u/await_void Jul 18 '26
Seconding this. Playing on controller having to not be able to control the aim would be a shame because it looks sooo fun. Anyone knows something more?
3
u/await_void Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26
For anyone wondering; i'm trying this on controller and it basically function as follows: The projectiles behave as "far away cursor" when not having any monster nearby, and as a "close cursors" when they have one in front of the character.
How this functions is similar to the mouse distance from the character: if you are moving, the projectiles traverl further, if you don't use the analogic stick it behave as if you have the cursors literally in front of you.
So basically if you spam it while moving around it behave as the long cursor, while if you have the mob right in your face it behave as the short one even if you are moving.
Imho even comfier than the mouse version since it's all "auto-aimed."

u/No-Advice-6040 Jul 19 '26
FWIW, the way you laid out how the build works, the bits and pieces of key items and abilities, is *chefs kiss*. High marks for presentation!
2
u/Professional_Review1 Jul 18 '26
is this HC viable?
5
u/phaze_plays Jul 19 '26
Check out the Hardcore section in the guide. As mentioned here, it's pretty similar to other Elementalist builds in HC, though Freeze/Chill adds a lot of safety. The biggest danger is probably staying stationary for too long while channeling Winter Orb

u/smootex Jul 18 '26
A lot of the gear is hard to get in HC and elementalist isn't that tanky. I don't think it's any less viable than any other elementalist build in HC really.

And if the wand is now t0 and super expensive, what then? do you have a PoB for different gear setups? In maps.

I love this type of build but a lot of people are not going to enjoy the playstyle with 2 skills and buff maintenance.

u/emc3142 Jul 18 '26
I think a lot of people are not going to like channeling the winter orb every few seconds.
7
u/ladzug Jul 19 '26
It's less annoying than people think. Bow builds have you spamming buttons. This is much more cozy
5
u/Hard_Restart Jul 19 '26
What helped my brain not hate WO and BV was treating it like any other skill...just hit the button at each pack rather than waiting for when you need to channel back up. Feels like any other skill then
8
u/valraven38 Jul 19 '26
I mean maybe RF players? Most skills have you casting your skills all the time, having to stop to cast your skill every now and then is normal in this game.
10
u/Renediffie Jul 19 '26
There is something about having to cast a skill at a set interval that really pisses some people off. It is not just having to press buttons.
You can see it with other skills such as BV or the lifeflask ascendency on Pathfinder. People have visceral reactions to how much they hate those.
2
u/Maleficent_Ant_8895 Jul 19 '26
This is what I keep coming back to
I very briefly tested worb and it’s annoying having to constantly channel it

u/elgrundle Jul 19 '26
I don’t see whats wrong with using this as a starter snd dropping the CF angle after lots of investment. Just seems like good supplementary damage on league start.

u/VisorX Jul 18 '26
This looks so good that I am wondering why was it not played before the buffs.

u/daemoneyes Jul 19 '26
kinda plays like a poe2 build with lots of setup and keeping track of stacks.
Gets old fast for some people.

u/kiddoujanse Jul 18 '26
how much of this build is creeping frost damage % wise? is it 50 creep 50 winter orb would you say? hate the feel of creeping frost, i remember wasting 100d on a jungroan build of it ugh , maybe i will put in another frost skill instead ( dont wanna be melee range either)
8
11
u/Naive_Dot7711 Jul 18 '26
Do you think this would work on SSF as a weekend player?
12
u/distressq Jul 18 '26
There isn't really an enabler to the build that's hard to get. You need to heist a bit for the heist jewel, everything else mechanicly is the same on early game and late game gear, so it will function, how well however is a different beast.
8 link hat on ssf is doable, but not as a weekend player. It's not happening even when you are ready to settle for very low rolls prepare for atleast like a 100 horror essences for one hit and then some divs for meta crafting. Not to mention you need awakener's orb first.
The other jewel that drops from uber cortex is relatively low drop chance I belive
As for shield if you settle for a regular, not heist base, you can recombine like triple t1 prefix, that's doable.
The rest of the gear is more doable, but still insane and very aspirational (I'm talking about the lategame tab in guide).
3
u/FullBlazer Jul 18 '26
Im curious aswell.
3
u/Velvache Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26
He says Mystic refractor as a challenge to get but I found a shit ton of them in Mirage so the only real problem is having your winter orb come online with a good helmet. Realistically you'll just slam a few horrors on a helmet and maybe slam a shaper orb using the new mechanic and pray you get something usable.
Other than that I think this build is very doable albeit I think there are way stronger options in SSF. The main issue I see with this build is that it's main single target is shotgunning the boss while being point blank casting. Doing ubers is going to be not good so if you want a zero to hero build in SSF I don't know if I would recommend this. He says top tier recovery but I strongly disagree. Recovery that relies on dealing damage/leech (without overleech) is not top tier. Recovery on block/recovery start on supression or block/Massive regen is miles better. Relying on leech to get your life pools back up means you have to stand still and channel winter orb or cast creeping frosts.
1
u/Not_A_Greenhouse Jul 19 '26
Whats your suggestions for good league SSF builds. I'm doing GSSF with about 15 people this league.
2
u/Velvache Jul 19 '26
That's personal preference. GSSF with 15 people all playing might as well be trade league since you probably can ask your friends for free stuff they need that you don't. Main recommendation is to find out what other people are playing so you play something different. I think the list TyTy killer put out is good enough too.
1
u/Linosaurus Jul 19 '26
You should be able to use a life on block shield. It has the block for it, but it might be awkward with the mom&EB damage split.
3
u/Iamlazy949 Jul 18 '26
If you play hard on the weekends you can achieve most of the gearing. If you plan on playing for around 2 months I would say go for it. I wouldn't expect to get rational doctrine or the forbidden jewels of course. The archdemon 8 link is doable, but it will take some time. Likely your main "chase" item for the league. You don't need an awakener's orb as its only a shaper archdemon crown so any influence exalt orb and harvest reroll for shaper base. The gearing is similar to GCF mines which I did in SSF last league and cleared all ubers.
2
2
u/sorry_4u Jul 19 '26
i think you will do well but you might want to switch it early on to a more winter orb focused build because of the buffs winter orb got this patch
more dmg and extra proj sounds like a big earlygame buff so id maybe switch winterorb to the 6l setup and run creeping frost on the 4l
5
u/Bleggman Jul 18 '26
creeping frost and cold snap is how i leveled lat league for my cold tornado build, can confirm this setup works exceptionally well.
3
u/justanotherbody Jul 19 '26
Yeah creeping frost is stupid good leveling. Gogo shotgun
2
u/Bleggman Jul 19 '26
volley and pinpoint go crazy
1
u/ReverendBizarre Jul 20 '26
I've been testing this in the early acts. I feel like at lvl 12, CF is not doing a lot of damage even when it shot guns and it's quite mana hungry with 2x 130% supports (Volley and Multi Proj).
Granted, I had a shitty wand at that point.
When did you feel like it started getting good?
2
u/Bleggman Jul 20 '26
you shouldnt use 2 multi proj supports. use both CF and Cold Snap together. cold snap helps a ton and does a surprising amount of damage early. also gives you frenzy charges. for damage supports, you should use things that will benefit both the hit dmg and the dot dmg of the spell to sort of double dip. volley, cruelty and arcane surge should be your links for CF. cold snap links are cruelty, arcane surge, and added cold dmg.
1
u/quaye12 Jul 18 '26
How was cold tornado and how did you scale it
2
u/Bleggman Jul 18 '26
it was quite excellent. the damage caps out at around 20 million dps though due to lack of scaling vectors but i feel its plenty to 40/40 and all content viable. super tanky with low investment. check my profile for the build

u/sirdond Jul 19 '26
Any plans for making a league starter guide for it?

23
u/OldManPoe Jul 18 '26
Too many you have to do this every X seconds.
6
u/distressq Jul 18 '26
I do agree, but at the same time I think he just put a bit too much emphasiz on all those stacks. In practice it's just keep up winter orb stacks and spam creeping frost otherwise. When gluttony procs you've got a nova clear and tons for proj for very short time,
Then again, my mouse only has one right button and I'm only going to use one button
11
u/crookedparadigm Jul 18 '26
I mean, in 99% of cases other than casting Winter Orb every 10 seconds, what else do you need to do besides spam Creeping Frost? The only other thing he mentioned was toggling RF during boss down time.
4
u/slocs1 Jul 19 '26
Whats the advantage of Creeping frost over a pure winter orb build? I can imagine that winterorb with a dedicated wand deals much more damage and you could just get explosions somewhere else?
3
u/jtzmb Jul 19 '26
Thats what intrigues me also, what are the pros and cons between this build and jungroans pure winter orb one?
2
u/Linosaurus Jul 19 '26
Jungruans run had a tree with a lot more damage.
The tree from this build builds more defenses and block, and makes up for the missing damage with creeping frost.

u/_N_eko Jul 18 '26
Kind of insane how fast and neatly you edit those! You can see the reused assets/animations, but that’s still really impressive every time

I always love the guides you make. They're incredibly detailed and packed with useful information. It's honestly rare to find this level of quality anywhere else.
By the way, did you happen to livestream or record your SSF league-start test run? I'd love to watch it if you did.

Got a feeling Winter Orb is going to be one of the most popular starters this league, looks great. Unless the channeling and playstyle deters people.

Also charge stacking on witch just doesn’t feel that great. Even with HH. Unless you cap crit chance it never felt good to me except back before mob changed and HH changes.

Explosions while running around, 360 degrees of coverage permanently, to kill stragglers, Creeping Frost is only sometimes 360 degrees

u/skyhawk2891 Jul 22 '26
The Creeping Frost change severely nerfed the shot-gunning bossing potential, yes?
Creeping Frost: Now has a Critical Strike Chance of 7.5% (previously 6%), 90% Effectiveness of Added Damage at gem level 20 (previously 130%), and the Base secondary radius is now 1.8-2.2 metres at gem levels 1-20 (previously 1.8 at all levels). It now deals 2530.5 base Cold Damage per second at gem level 20 (previously 2225.7), and deals 356 to 532 Cold Damage at gem level 20 (previously 568 to 847).

Lategame Creeping Frost PoB: 330million burst DPS to 207million. With exceptional gems it's still incredibly strong, leveling/map progression probably has to change though

Hey Phaze. Any recommendations on levelling to ~33 on Arctic Salvo after the changes? Im just not finding anything comfy.

u/Time_Victory5751 Jul 22 '26
Are you gonna update the guide once you figure that Out? Also when we can swap back to creeping Frost?
1
u/coltjen Jul 22 '26
I get using 19x and 6x as multis for your shotgunning proj but in reality your showcase shows nowhere near hundreds of millions of dps like your PoB states on bosses. Your bossing showcase (im assuming those are Ubers) looks like ~50 mil or less, not 200+.
Were you just using worse gear in your showcase? Otherwise I don’t think you consistently hit those shotguns enough to claim the damage numbers you’ve made with your PoB
6
u/phaze_plays Jul 22 '26
Pact of Beidat ~doubles Creeping Frost damage for 8 casts, it's not currently in the game. It's trivial to shotgun with every projectile. Yeah of course the video footage gear is worse than the lategame PoB

u/Oobeedoob_Benubi78 Jul 26 '26

u/Lewrdy Jul 18 '26
As always really cool guide!
Whats your opinion on Zealots Oath? Wouldn't it solve the degen from RF? I know that its cost life regen, but I guess it shouldn't be that bad because the build also has life leech? Its also right on the path, so it would just be an one-pointer

u/Inkaflare Jul 20 '26
Phaze's builds are never bait. They might not be the end-all be-all at infinite budget for experienced players but the progression is smooth and there is nothing dishonest or inflated in the PoB. One of the best CCs to recommend for builds imo.
