What builds benefit most from this Essence?
Cold-based builds like Ice Shot Deadeye, Frost Blades Raider, and Vortex Occultist benefit from guaranteed Cold Penetration modifiers.
Can I use this Essence to force Dexterity on gear?
Yes. It guarantees a Dexterity roll on applicable gear types, useful for stat stacking or meeting gem requirements.
Is Cold Penetration additive with support gems?
