Frostdin

[Chaerophon]

OK, I have a friend that did a frostdin awhile back(1-2 months) and he pretty much...owned...
However that friend moved away and i cant get ahold of him and was wondering
Is the frostdin really the way to go?
And if so, whats a good talent tree way to go, and stats. thanks

Just thought I'd engage in a little thread necromancy to mention the frost zealot I've recently built (since getting back into D2 after 4+ years off). I was inspired by the links and discussion from this thread.

Anyways, just finished Hell Baal, and can confirm the strong hell viability (and fun) of this build.

Skills:
Max zeal
17 sacrifice
Max holy freeze
Max resist cold
1 in holy shield
10 in sanctuary

Equipment included:
Guillaume's (UM)
Guardian Angel (UM)
Soul Drainers
Nosferatu's Coil
Herald of Zakarum (PD)
Heaven's Light (2x Shael)
Gore Riders
Raven Frost
Rare AR ring with poison resist, low cold resist
Mara's

With some crappy resistance charms, I have max resists, max block, well over 3000 damage per hit on a 5-frame zeal (70%ias) 14%ll, 7%ml, 10% slow (in tandem with hf, this is great), 30%ds, 83%cb and over 1500 life. I received Heaven's Light and Mara's as well as one of the UMs from a friend; the rest of the gear I've collected through casual play with this character since the new ladder season began, trading runes and PG's (many dozens, though it's surprising what "desperate" people are willing to part with for 15-20 or so pgems if you're patient in the "new economy") and running nm baal for quite a while.

In sum, this was a fun build for someone who is no longer a "hardcore gamer". Thanks for the info.
