Overview

?

Percy, The Icy Menace. He grew up being picked on for always secluding himself in his chambers studying the powers of ice. Well Percy, is all grown up now, and boy is he pissed.

Percy specializes in freezing the battle field. Enemies that have the unfortunate mishap of coming across Percy end up meeting a frozen demise.

Coupling with the Frostbite Shackles and Percy's incredibly high amounts of PrefixFreeze Rate Multiplier and Cold Resistance's he can freeze almost any enemy he comes in contact with as well as have an insanely high amounts of ward retention.

Humming Bee's are Percy's weapon of choice. Although a player could find incredibly well rolled Crystal Sword's with increases to PrefixIncreased Melee Attack Speed and PrefixAdded Melee Cold Damage.

Players should focus on keeping Cold resistance up as much as they can, as well as stacking Freeze rate, while they wait for their Frostbite Shackles and Snowdrift.

Percy is fun, fast and has an incredibly high Corruption Cap due to his incredible defenses and the commonly dropped Humming Bee that could drop with LP as the game progresses on.

None of my builds will ever require LP, however, can be greatly improved upon if found.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Incredibly High amounts of Ward and Ward generation give players a large safety bubble.

No LP required

Fun to Play

Simple skill rotations

Freeze and chill act as a Defensive layer (slowing attack and MS of enemies)

Cons

Requires more than 1 skill button to function

1 rare unique required to unlock top tier defenses (Frostbite Shackles)

Will need to learn to attack with Mana Strike between Shatter Strike attacks

Gameplay / Mechanics

Opening up with Teleport into a pack will buff your Freeze rate Multiplier with Frigid Departure 4/4 and at the same time increased your defenses with Crystaline Passage 5/5.

Spam Shatter Strike while landing Mana Strike in between the procs of Whiteout 2/2.

Use Flame Ward for more dangers packs using the buffs from Frostguard 5/5 ,Recollection 2/2 and Energize 3/3.

Players may also want to use their potion to freeze higher HP enemies thanks to our belts PrefixFreeze Rate and Freezing Concoction on Potion Use.

Rinse, repeat till desired results.

Endgame

The end game grind for Percy is to hunt down either LP for the Frostbite Shackles, Humming Bee, or Snowdrift. You could also hunt down some top tier Crystal Sword but be aware, you will lose the Humming Bee's implicit to generate ward on melee hit. Your best bet is LP'ing the Humming Bee with added PrefixAdded Melee Cold Damage and PrefixIncreased Melee Attack Speed.
