[EA] Spark Stormweaver - Mana Stacking Archmage MoM+CI - freezing/electrocution

Trying to use the Cold build but damn my Spark with +3lvl barrely manage to clear white mob.
Does the Three Dragons light to cold convertion really use Passive Skill Tree Cold nodes?

Since the helm only converts shock to frost (not lightning to cold, like the ring) I would assume you don't want cold damage nodes because you're not actually doing cold damage (unless you're using comet). You're doing lightning damage, it just is freezing instead of shocking. So lightning damage nodes would benefit you and cold damage nodes would not.

I haven't tested explicitly though.

Well it make sense you probably right!

I'm a moron didn't understood End Game Cold: brotherhood in ref to the ring :D

Coming from Cold build and I didn't wanted to change so much stuff

Heya.
Could helmet be more effective in freezing because of Path of Storms?
30% chance to shock. And then helmet continue from there adding damage as extra freeze(shock) chance and using 30% as base?
While cold conversion from ring doesnt have that base startup?

If so, equalizing chance to freeze on tree to 30% with ring would end up same?


nvm i misunderstood this. Once you equip helmet Path of Storms is irrelevant and should not be used. Unless one wants 18% lightning damage but 30% shock chance is lost.

Ok, maybe im stupid but i do this build from the freeze one and what spells i need to clear the maps? Only using spark to clear white mobs? Or there is some combo with other?

So, I just got to equip my "The Three Dragons Solid Mask". What skills am I supposed to run now? First impression was the ones under the "freeze" section but the curse there won't work with this setup until I got something wrong. Please explain.

Three dragons only change shock to freeze. Does nothing to the damage type.
Your damage is still lightning.

Cursed enemies have -(X)% to Lightning Resistance

Thats all.

Ring converts damage type from lightning to cold doesnt affect chance to shock or freeze.

Exactly, I am freezing. That's why one would think that "End game gems - Freeze" would be the correct section. But if I understood you right "End game gems - shock" is the correct one!?

If you have helmet then yes. Shock is your version.
Just dont use Cast on shock use cast on freeze for comet.

What am I missing here, call of the brotherhood seems to happen first with all calcs, and then archmage adds on lightning after the cold calcs.

Was wondering about this as well. I'm almost certain call of the brotherhood doesnt convert the archmage lightning damage over.

pretty sure it does, because when I'm wearing the ring, I no longer shock. If it didn't convert, I'd be shocking from the added lightning damage.

I'm also was sure call of brotherhood doesn't. So, I've decided to verify it.
Took a chaos spell. Made sure I don't do any cold/lightning damage with it.
Went to low level mobs.

Cold conversion archmage build is a lie, don't use it boys.
For some reason the message is formatted differently, can't fix it.
