First of all, great build guide. I did a bit of playing today after the nerf and to be honest, I still proc cast on freeze with spark + orbs really often. I don't feel the nerf that much. Even on packs I proc comet like every 1-2 packs at least and my clear speed is still good. I'm lvl 54 currently in act 2 cruel.
I got the helm that makes spark to freeze but still need to buy that ring to convert lightning to cold. It is damn expensive.
EDIT: ok bought the ring to convert dmg to cold and switched to cold variant and it actually feels way worse compared to shock variant. With cold variant, cast on freeze doesn't proc at all compared to when I was using only helmet and was focusing on lightning dmg so I'm gonna switch back to lightning using helmet to proc freeze.

Hello, how you would build arc now since they nerfed cast on shock, also for leveling what can we use to do more boss damage, I feel limited with my spark.
Arc is still fine as a manual cast for bosses, although after playing with cold conversion, spark + frost bomb + frost wall is still great for bosses. I'm thinking since they nerfed SRS too, levelling a new character as a pure cold sorc with frost bolt etc and then respeccing when you can cold convert to spark might be the way to go.
I might play around with taking every single trigger energy node on the passive tree to see if cast on freeze can still function. As it stands, we already take half of them anyway.
How you'll build arc to be cast manually ? I'm curious because I don't deal enough damage with it.

Can you put the approximate level in the guide?

Well, at level 45 I decided to make the switch to the frost variant…
… it did not go well. I’m guessing I don’t have anywhere near the passive points to pull it off even though I have both unique items.
Now I am stuck in a spec where I struggle to kill mobs 10 levels lower than me and have no gold for a respec.
Which brings me to my question:
Can I follow someone around and pick up crap to sell so I can revert? lol. Actually serious.
Looking forward to seeing this build come to life for me when I can make it happen.

Completely bricked build now due to the latest changes? This was what I am currently working on but because of the cast on X nerfs I fear this is totally bricked

I switched to frost variant today at lvl 56 and well.... I went back to lightning very fast so 100k down the drain lol.
Frost variant just doesnt proc cast on freeze at all for me compared to lightning + The Three Dragons Helmet. With lightning + mana tempest I absolutely obliterate all act 2 cruel bossed and trash mobs so far. Also cast on frezee with this setup procs all the time, like every pack.
Notable items: The three dragons, Lifespring, focus + 1 spells, amulet +2 spells (total of +6 all spells)
1267 hp, 1600 ES, 1188 mana
using these skills
spark - pierce - wildshards - arcane tempo - acceleration
orb of storms - controlled destruction - overabundance - magnified effect
cast on freeze - comet - impetus - spell cascade
conductivity - heightened curse - persistence
mana tempest - inspiration - premeditation - murderous intent
My skill tree at 58:
I'm not specced to MoM yet because I dont feel like I need it. I feel pretty tanky already and with 260 mana regen without MoM I can comfortably use mana tempest.

anyone know how works 'three dragon' with this ascendancy?
my two 'shocks' with this ascendancy = two 'freez', or what?

I’d love to try this out but I somehow need to get enough god to switch my spec back to what it was without being able to kill anything… or quickly.
