I am aware of this item, but this item makes you chill (not freeze) enemies you inflict with bleeding. Chilled =/= frozen. Monster still should be moving, just are slowed.
Hypothermia gives you chance to freeze target on hit if it is chilled, but I believe you need to be dealing cold damage for this to work.

aerial is correct I believe; you can't freeze as you need cold damage, even with Venopuncture and Hypothermia Support.

Hello, really enjoying the build so far !
I was wondering how can i cap block chance without advancing fortress or the anvil, could use a little help there, thanks !

Edit : currently sitting at 56% block in hideout

So mapping is a breeze but I am not used to tickling bosses down. As a first timer with bleed and gladiator is that the main source of damage to killing them?

I am wondering what to do with my leftover mana (111 mana).
Was using Vitality level 3 but the regen it gives is quite marginal at that level...
Any other ideas?
What if I would use both Divergent Pride + Malevolence + Enlighten and drop Herald of purity + War banner, would that be any good? I could also craft reduced malevolence reservation on a hunter amulet since Enlighten SSF gonna be hard lol
Any way to increase chances of the reduced reservation craft with an essence or fossil?

Yes, that's our main source - but adding in SST impact damage and Corrupting Fever really helps. The damage becomes more acceptable for bosses when you get more gear and levels; such as currently you're at around 280k bleed DPS in PoB but with some better gear and levels you'll be quadruple that or more.

Popular options are:

Sanctuary node (and the nodes leading up to it)
Higher block base on shield
Crafts on slots such as chest and shield
Influenced items
Jewels and Cluster Jewels
Tempest Shield

Don't forget you also get +8% from your Ascendancy when you take a hit (which will be pretty often).

No worries, no harm done; to be honest wording of Hypothermia Support does sound like it'll freeze anything with the supported skill regardless of damage type so it was nice to clarify it.

The only ones that use flat mana would be Clarity, Precision, and Vitality. Using Pride and Malevolence with Enlighten instead of Pride (or Malevolence) with War Banner and Herald of Purity would be less damage for you unfortunately. Remember also that you'll need mana available to cast Enduring Cry and your CWDT set-up so it's nice to have a smidge of it.
