ok, i was using the spirit spammer build (using my ritualist) and I come to the conclusion that Cold as Ice quest is IMPOSSIBLE! Why?:

1)Dissonance and Shadowsong did not last long enough to kill the boss.
2)When he successfully summon his spirits (particularly after the dissonance is over), the spirits may attack his SPIRITS instead of the boss.
3) I keep getting interrupted.
4) he is impossible to pull and corner.

Therefore, this quest is impossible to complete. So if you are going try this quest, don't, it's impossible.

Not impossible.

One easy way is to have Necromancer as your second profession and use the bodies that are lying around. Worked well for me. Good luck.

Why not go rit/me? Use the me for echo and an anti-interrupt. Then use gaze of fury and anything else that can quickly destroy a spirit (signet of creation or maybe consume soul). You can also use unnatural signet or something like that from the /me part.

I beat it on both my monk and ranger on first try. You just need to try harder, and not run bad builds.

just because you cant beat it dosnt make it impossible. I had problems the first time I tried it to, but its far from impossible. just think outside the box, WAY outside the box.

I killed him on my regular ranger build, conditions + interrupts. Piece of cake.

I beat it with my paragon with pretty much just 4 skills.. secondary Necro, but apparently not how other people were using it? I probably could have made it easier but I didn't think it was actually going to work the first time! xD Anyway, I just used Barbs because it's a long lasting hex, and Toxic Chill. 12 in curses and 12 in death. My other skills were Great Dwarf Armor and Never Surrender, but NS was dumb because I forgot to put points in Command :|. So lol only a long hex (I only used barbs cos I only had a few hexes and it was the longest lol) and Toxic Chill are vital. Just run in, hex him, toxic chill him, then run away and heal. Then repeat repeat etc and eventually he'll die .

I beat it with my rit, Agony, Vampirism, and Bloodsong, spirit boon strike, spirit rift, offering of spirit, essence strike, and i forget the last one, the key is moving around and getting up a hill so that you dont get hit by his attacks and place your spirits where they can hit him. He will attack you not the spirits.
