Overview

This is a high-ceiling Ice Strike Monk built on the Martial Artist ascendancy, tuned to convert its melee output into massive cold damage. The headline is single-target: the creator showcases it melting endgame bosses, with the Embitter and Fist of Stone pairing pushing cold damage into the millions-DPS bracket.

The build chains Ice Strike with Shattering Palm and a Tempest Bell setup, leaning on Hollow Form and hollow resonance for its damage multipliers. Heavy freeze uptime doubles as defence — frozen enemies don’t fight back — which lets the build trade some raw survivability for an aggressive, in-your-face freeze-and-shatter playstyle.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Enormous single-target cold damage — pitched as an endgame boss melter
  • Freeze uptime acts as a soft defensive layer by locking enemies down
  • Hollow Form / hollow resonance scaling rewards investment with a high ceiling
  • Satisfying combo-driven melee loop

Cons

  • Damage relies on the Embitter + Fist of Stone setup, so it is gear-gated and not budget-friendly
  • Combo execution (Ice Strike + Shattering Palm + Tempest Bell + Hollow Form) raises the skill floor
  • Showcase footage focuses on bossing; mapping clear speed is not the selling point
  • Weak as a fresh-league starter — it wants its key items online first

Key Skills

  • Ice Strike — the primary cold melee attack and main damage driver
  • Shattering Palm — secondary strike that feeds the freeze-and-shatter loop
  • Tempest Bell — burst amplifier for stacking damage on a target
  • Hollow Form — the keystone mechanic powering the build’s damage multipliers

Gear & Anointments

A Monk melee setup oriented around cold conversion. The creator calls out Embitter and Fist of Stone as the combination that unlocks the OP cold DPS, alongside the Hollow Form enablers. Full passive and gear specifics are detailed in the linked build profile; treat the unique pairing as mandatory for the showcased damage.

Endgame Notes

Positioned squarely as an endgame damage build — it freezes and melts pinnacle-tier content, with the showcase emphasising how quickly it erases tanky targets once the cold-damage scaling is assembled.
