cold snap targetting scheme

Cold Snap will never target a Frostbolt that's behind a non-frozen enemy. It would be great if cold snap targetting on a controller was smarter, i.e. look at the general direction one's aiming in and find the first frozen target or frostbolt instead of a targetting a non-frozen enemy resulting in a dud snap.

Yup, frost sorc feels unplayable for me on controller. The aiming on things like frozen enemies or even your own frost bolts is complete trash. It's a cool concept, but if it can only reliably be played on PC then that's BS in my humble opinion.

Even without enemies, I find that the targeting range for cold snap is really short. If I just fire a frostbolt with +2 projectiles, I can't cast cold snap fast enough 3x before it moves "out of range", even with deceleration for slower frostbolts.

I am having much the same issue. I have a perfect engagement scenario in my head but targeting is my bane. I start with a Frost Bomb, summon a Fire Wall, and spam Frost Bolts. Now, from here is the issue. With Frost Bolts you can cast both Ice Nova and Cold Snap. I have noticed that these two synergies automatically and always (try to) target the farthest Frost Bolt. which is both good and bad. Personally, I'd prefer it targets the closest. If I spam Frost Bolt, at the start of the engagement I can cast Ice Nova when the first Bolt reaches a target. I don't know why but Cold Snap is incredibly difficult to land. I almost never get the target I want or it just seems to be 'used' but nowhere on my screen is there an explosion, and with the cooldown, it really hurts how my combo performs.

BUT!

After the first engagement, targeting the farthest Frost Bolt is just plain awful. If there is a Frost Bolt on my screen, it is guaranteed my Ice Nova will proc on whichever one is nowhere near my enemies. Cold snap remains unreliable still. I would prefer to have a reliable combo in a middle of a fight though instead of a good first engagement. Hence, please change the target to the closest one for consistency

Agree, cold snap feels bad on controller

Going to have to agree as well. Frost nova also doesn't target well.

same issue. can't detonato frostbolt too far from player.

Well I have exact same issue on ranger with Voltaic Mark. Even when fighting boss, there's no one except THE BIG MF BOSS but my mark lands on the floor. Ridiculous. Targeting on gamepad is very weird.
