By reaching maps your setup should look like this :
This setup with 4-Link would allow you to farm T1-T5 rare maps

Best helmet enchant is 'Creeping Frost Dmg/Pen Ele Res (boots)'

Flask setup
Highly increases your dps
Insert Creeping Frost setup inside the helmet, you will get almost a 5-Link due to '+2 to level of socketed gems'
If you find corrupted one with '+2 to level of socketed Cold/AOE/Proj/Duration/Spell gems' implicit - it would almost be a 6-Link in terms of dps
Keep in mind that the item is STR/INT based and it is not that easy to get 2Blue/2Green on it
Use active skill vs map bosses

Quicksilver Flask (movement speed)
There are 2 Movement Speed flasks which are good for us :
Cheap
Expensive

Immunity to Freeze and Chill during Flask Effect

Dying Sun
Gives us 2 additional projectiles which decently increases our dps
Ashes of the Stars
Should be purchased after helmet/gem
Gives us more projectiles for divergent creeping frost
When you have Helmet/Divergent Creeping Frost/Ashes of the stars - add Hatred to your setup
If the amulet is expensive - use the filter to decrease reservation roll to make it cheaper
We use Overcharge as anointment
Required Oils :
3
Highly increases your dps
One Battery grants quite the same amount of damage as Taryn's Shiver
If you have currency for only 1 Battery - buy it and use cheap wand with '+1 to level of all cold gems' till second Battery
5
Boots with Elusive on Crit
Flasks should have 'Used when Charges reach full' enchant
Use Instilling orbs and crafting bench to put the enchant on your flasks
Pantheon : Soul of Lunaris + Soul of Abberath
If you have not enough Str/Dext - take +30 nodes
You can buy a base and use Crit reforge in Harvest to guarantee Elusive
Use until you have Life/Res + Elusive and craft Movement speed/Onslaught on kill
You can buy a base and use Caster reforge in Harvest to craft it (requires 5-10+ tries)
Use until you have Frostbite on Hit 32% + Life or Res, Craft Life or Res
Crest of Desire and Divergent Creeping Frost
Adding both Helmet and Gem to your setup must happen at the same time
Helmet gives additional quality to socketed gems while the gem gives additional projectiles per 20% quality
You can have up to 5 additional projectiles (30-50% from helmet + 20% from gem itself + 30% from Ashes of the Stars)
Helmet with max level/qual rolls is very expensive, you want +8 levels/+30% qual at least
When you buy them you no longer need your old 6-Link, use Body armor for other gems
If you do not have enough currency to buy both the items - skip them and return later
Base Jewels
You should have ~90 Str/Dext on your gear to have enough stats for 20/20 gems
Searing Exarch and Eater of Worlds implicits :
Gloves
Freezes you inflict spread to other enemies (Searing Exarch)
Inflict Cold Exposure on Hit (Eater of Worlds)
You want 2 Crit Multi on it and Str/Dext if possible (check the filter)

Ring with Frostbite on Hit
Non-channelling spells have -7 to manacost craft is mandatory on both rings!
When you have the ring - remove Bane + Frostbite, leaving only Elemental Weakness

6
Body Armour with Spell Crit Chance
You can buy a base and use Crit reforge in Harvest
Use until you have Spell Crit chance/Life/Res and craft 'Gain 10% of Max Life as Extra ES'
I would recommend to buy it when you have helmet so you do not have to buy another 6-Link
*All items have promts and links on hover/click

When you add the aura - replace Jade Flask with Granite Flask
