The idea of this build is to utilize Serpent's Disdain to keep every status effect on your opponent. It banks of using Force of Nature to supplement penetration and uses the Ardent Flame to boost the Burning and Poisoned status effects. Cutting Defense is there to help enchants proc passively which is beneficial for melee enchant procs. While bar swap can benefit Quick Cloak with the front bar charged sometimes you aren't in melee range.
For the offensive portion we use the front bar Elemental Susceptibility to activate the frostbite conditions. Then use Flames of Oblivion once for passive damage and crit chance. If the enemy gets close finish applying the final active status effect with Venomous Claw. We will then weave light attacks with Wield Soul (Frost, Class Mastery, Vitality) to proc Kjalnar's Nightmare for the secondary stun condition or damage. There is also a 64.5% chance to proc chilled every time the spammable is used.
The Wield Soul will get boosted by around 29% With the passives and Frostbite Set. All the while you got 4 active damage overtimes including the status effects and Flames of Oblivion in the background for passive direct damage pressure. Wild Guardian can act as a body shield and bleed proc pet as well as a potential execute. Depending on your stamina management you can pick Witchmother's or Jewels, but Bull Netch will supplement it passively.
