This Winter Orb build is worth to try.

Some Stat Tips
Helmet: Try to get helm with both 18+ inc aoe and hypothermia. Life would be next, then res is a bonus. Enchant is pretty helpful but also really expensive.

No No Map Mods
Ele Reflect is by far the worst here and can not be ran.
Phys reflect can be ran but you can NOT use vaal blade vortex. If you are anything like me, you say ok no vaal bv, and by time you get to boss, muscle memory goes completely against you... you throw it out anyway and watch you own yourself. Because of this i just don't run any reflect.
Hexproof + no regen can not be ran together unless you use a mana flask which is annoying as all hell. Either one is fine by itself, just can't do both at same time.
Temp chains is horrible like it always is and cant stand being slowed, so it gets rerolled everytime, without fail.
Enchants
Gloves - Double corrupt is 100% the best way to go with +2 projectile and +2 aoe gem corrupts. +1 Frenzy charge is not bad. Ele Weakness on hit might not be bad if you spec for dual curse and make sure your warlord's mark still works. After that Gripped gloves implicit is best, fingerless silk gloves is next best. If just normal pair of gloves just run w/e you want.
Boots - Two-Toned boots are one of my favorites if you can find a good pair but can be pretty expensive. Any other enchant here is fine, more move speed, attack/cast speed are offensive options. Cannot be stunned is pretty good defensive one. + flat lightning dmg is pretty good for single target stuff as well.
Helm - +2 winter orb stages is super good. However it is also super expensive. I played most of the build WITHOUT enchant and it worked fine, however enchant takes it to a whole new level.
