Overview
This is an Ice Shot Amazon build for the Huntress class in Path of Exile 2 patch 0.5, presented by SlayerD. It converts physical bow damage to cold, turning Ice Shot into a reliable cold-damage carry skill that scales well into the endgame. The headline showcase is a kill on the Arbiter of Divinity, a pinnacle-tier encounter, completed at character level 82.
The Amazon ascendancy leans into bow and projectile mastery, giving Ice Shot strong single-target output while keeping enough area coverage to clear packs. SlayerD lists a target cost of around 100 Divine Orbs, while noting the price can climb as the league progresses and that the build can be assembled for considerably less if you accept lower-rolled gear.
Because the supporting source for this write-up is thin, the specific uniques, passive allocations, and exact gem links should be confirmed against the source video and the linked Path of Building. The structure below reflects the build’s stated focus on Ice Shot as the cold-damage backbone of an Amazon Huntress.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Strong single-target damage, demonstrated against the Arbiter of Divinity pinnacle boss at level 82
- Cold conversion gives consistent, scalable damage that performs across both bossing and mapping
- Ranged projectile playstyle keeps you at a safer distance from melee threats
- Amazon ascendancy synergizes naturally with bow and projectile scaling
Cons
- Listed target cost of roughly 100 Divine Orbs makes the optimized version expensive
- Price is expected to rise as the league progresses
- As a ranged setup, it can feel fragile if defensive layers are under-invested
Key Skills
- Ice Shot — primary cold-converted bow attack and the build’s main damage skill
- Bow attack support links — supports stacked onto Ice Shot to push damage and coverage (confirm exact gems in the source video)
- Movement / utility skill — for repositioning and uptime against pinnacle bosses (confirm in source)
- Defensive / aura setup — supporting buffs to sustain the ranged playstyle (confirm in source)
Gear & Anointments
The build targets a roughly 100-Divine-Orb budget for a fully optimized setup, but SlayerD notes you can complete it much more cheaply by settling for lower rolls. The video walks through dedicated Equipment, Passive Tree, Jewels, and Stats sections, so use those timestamps and the linked Path of Building to mirror the exact items and allocations.
- Prioritize a strong bow with cold/physical scaling to feed Ice Shot’s conversion
- Stack projectile and cold damage on gear and passives
- Allocate jewels per the video’s Jewels segment for additional damage and utility
- Specific uniques are to be confirmed against the source video and the linked Path of Building
Endgame Notes
The build is positioned as an endgame and bossing setup, with the Arbiter of Divinity kill at level 82 as proof of single-target capability. Mapping is supported by Ice Shot’s area coverage, though the showcase emphasizes pinnacle bossing over pure clear speed.
