Yes, I had one back in LoD and used 20x cold damage + lifer small charms and it increases the damage from freezing arrows quit a lot.

I'll have to double check the tick speed for MB vs gmb and see if having 60 ias will even bring it up to a faster tick speed, if so, I'll switch myself.

You should make a quick mockup in single player + that site that lets you create character files (I can't remember the name?) and you can test the small charms yourself. Unfortunately most of the small charms I have right now are just shit plain cold damage ones but they do add a substantial amount of damage.

Idk if jsp will remember the timestamp in the video, but if not, Check the time stamp 17:40 in this video. This is just some random guy that I found that talks about it. Had to watch a couple videos to find a video that mentions it lol.

I'm 85% sure those scs are just increasing the cold damage on your initial arrow strike not the cold explosion part. My AR is quite low 6.3k not sure how often my arrow even actually connects, which might explain why thorns heralds not chipping me down.

For gcs 45 lifer is nice, but we shouldn't be getting hit very often, I'd prefer more utility like frw, Mana, fhr for the side mod

When I shoot at a thorns herald and it's like t4/t5, it'll usually nearly instant gib me lol. I have to do shit like shoot at the wall next to it.

Whats your attack rating?

Also thanks for the vid, this gives me some chase charms to look for

Not too much more than yours. From memory (at work rn) it can't be higher than 8k. I'm able to kill them of course, but I've had 2 close calls with them on my fmaiden. I actually don't even like herald hunting on her that much, I prefer my fire druid for that, but she's still really fun.
