(Outdated)Frostbolt/Eye of Winter, Coldsnap, Cast on freeze Comet

thank you GGG!

Ouch, I spent about 20K gold and a good amount of skill gems just yesterday to switch to this build. I guess this is the nature of early access...

Good luck self-casting in high tier maps. They teleport/jump to you or are hasted so much by map mods and mob mods that self-casting a comet, even with double cast speed, is a joke.. Doesn't work unless you freeze them first and keep them frozen.

That's where frozen wall comes? You first block path or cast it on big mobs to insta freeze them (assuming you've correct support gems), then drop the comet on their heads. That works pretty fine so far.

Edit: Also you definitely need some survivability in passive tree btw, since you become vulnerable while casting comet as you said. I'm currently using damage taken from mana before life keystone, and it increased my survivability a lot. Since ice skills are all slow, you mostly sit with full mana bar all the time, so that key passive skill makes a lot of sense to use.

Edit 2: Also don't forget frozen wall gets aggro of small mobs and stops them from attacking you.

10 of maximum energy for every 0.1 cast time.
Cast time 1+1 = 2 sec
(2/0.1) * 10 = 200 maximum energy.
But in skill description 300. HOW???

rip

yep build is dead, thanks GGG.
and sorc in general looks like shit now, lightning sucks, fire was nerfed, cold was nerfed...no reason to play squishy sorc where white mobs 3 hits you

What about using ice nova with CoF? This should trigger faster than comet, and still haven decent AoE.

Edit: Forget it, it's worse in terms of damage.
