Freezing Gale or Hunting Banshee

[Kogler1990]

DO u guys think its a viable build?

While I love the concept of hunting banshee, there are two deal breakers witch ruin it for me completly:
1.) the 'lock-on-enemies' range is super short, which means that you have to be super close to the enemies or the spell will fizzle out. This is especially frustrating with the new and improved sigma FOW
2.) if an enemy is standing next to a wall, the banshee won't damage him and you have to switch to another spells to finish him off

I remember the good old times when hunting banshee went trough walls and targeted enemies like 1.5 screens away

I agree, just tried that build today. Even with 5 Wraiths its still long range spell which makes you an easy melee target. Same for Gale you cannot move when casting so not worth it.

For farming go Poison Plague Avatar or Elemental skill with SSSU dstaff for more Elementals
For bosses Rain of Fire
