James' Notes
Raspberry Pi Grim Dawn

Cold Assassin Spellbreaker

This dual-wielding build mainly deals cold damage, as well as elemental damage.

It's a great path if you prefer to be dealing magical damage while dual-wielding melee weapons.

It has also high survivability due to multiple skills that can freeze mobs and absorb full damage.

Another advantage of this build is that it has the best starting skills for early speed leveling (Olexra’s Flash Freeze, Night’s Chill, Pnuematic Burst).

Equipment Priorities

Equip items that grant cold or elemental damage bonus.

For weapons, make sure the character is dual-wielding or else it won’t get bonuses from dual-wield exclusive skills.

How to Play

This build relies on both normal attacks and spamming skills.

After initiating the fight with Shadow Strike, immediately cast Olexra’s Flash Freeze to control the mobs around you, saving your character from potential harm.

Once you initiate the fight, use Ring of Steel and a barrage of your basic attacks to quickly finish off your enemies.

For a more convenient and effective game play, assign Ring of Steel to your left click as your basic attack.
