I'll preface this by saying that obviously without the 3.2 patch notes we won't know for certain, but as of right now I'm mostly considering Sunder or Frost Blades for my 3.2 league starter.

I wanted to check with you guys and see what you felt was more complete - my qualms with Sunder before have been the lack of efficient map clearing (compared to other builds), whereas Frost Blades has the faster clear but is less tanky.
I'm still trying to consider multiple options to research when the time comes, including Ice Crash/Spectres/Ice Shot. What have you guys felt over the past few leagues?

Ancestral call.

Sunder is better to start the league, but frost blade has more potential IMO.

frost blades can scale pretty high with crit and will be faster clearing

sunder can be done for cheaper, if I were you I would start cleave and ez respec into frost blades once you get some weapons

how fast of clear speed is frost blades end game? is it comprable to TS or EK?

fasterthan ts, about same if not better than ek

its about bossfights

the clearing you can get from disco



you can also use your single target bossfight for multitarget clearing, like minions do
then you have single target SrS/Animate/zombie/whatever, without linking trollshit like melee splash
and then the disco effects: heartbound loop: cwdt-mage-spectre-arc-nova-daqrk pact-volatile, can be used to blow maps afk mode, when contribute to single target dps
