This is a build that I have just created to try and beat the Glacial Griffon in the "Cold as Ice" quest given by Sif the Norn in EoTN. To my Surprise, after several attempts, It actually worked! All you have to know is placement, if you can pin the Glacial Griffon in the spot where it appears; using yourself as the front man, and your minions surround the sides and back, then the Griffon is stuck trying to summons its spirits and will not attack!

Attributes and Skills
[build name="oqqtu44qzso4vstyqroaxcwyxea" prof=warri/necro deathm=12 streng=3+3 swords=12+1+2][aura of the lich][lions comfort][warriors cunning][sun and moon slash][power attack][barbarous slice][gash][ebon vanguard assassin support][/build]

Equipment
Any Max armor, I used Sentinel Insignia on Boots, legs, and arms - Survivor Insignia on chest - and Knight's Insignia on the helm. Major Sword rune on helm - Superior Vigor rune on chest - Vita Rune on arms and legs, Superior strength on boots. But I think you can mix and match or change pretty much what ever you want to in this area, even the attribute upgrades. I just used an NF end game Forgotten sword; r9 Swrd, 15^50, AP 20/20, HP+30 un-customized and the /bonus Serrated Shield; r9 tts, RPD-2/stance, HP+30. so Basically, any shield will do.

Usage
As soon as you enter the area, you will see Dead Wolves laying in a circle with a few dead in the center, run to the center and use "Aura of the Lich" ASAP! The faster you get there and cast this spell, the faster you can start regenerating your energy back up for attacks. Next, You need to wait for the Glacial Griffon to appear, and MAKE SURE the minions surround him with you in the front, minions on sides and back. He will be so busy trying to move to cast his spirits that he wont even attack! Though, he will cast at least 1 spirit, though that's nothing to worry about - just concentrate on smacking that Griffion around Using "BarBarous Slice" to keep his health from regenerating and adding a little more attack dmg, "Gash" as needed to cut down Kill time, Sin Support, whenever you get the chance, and the other skills whenever they charge. The skills are not that hard to acquire, so most new player should be able to set this build up. Nothing a little AB cant solve :D It takes about one to two minutes to beat this boss with the build and skills I have used and submitted, Maybe a noob build, but it works!

Counters
Not getting the Minions to surround the Griffon
