Frequently Asked Questions

Blizzard Damage

Your damage will be coming from Frozen Orb, however the damage builds based off of how many Summons you have active because of Fractured Winterglass.

If you want to learn the basics about Multipliers watch this video: Additive vs. Multiplicative Damage video.

Gear Set-up

Unique Set-up

For this set up, we're taking advantage of Fractured Winterglass to help us spawn more Summons. We also gain additional damage from Summons which include Ice Blades, Familiar, Lightning Spear and Hydra. These can all be spawned on Lucky Hit chance, so your goal will be to keep as many active as possible. We pair that with Tal Rasha's Iridescent Loop for some big damage, since we will be casting three different elemental types, Pyromancy Hydra, Frost Ice Blades and Shock Lightning Spear.

This season we are adding in Hail of Verglas and weaving Ice Shards into our rotation for some extra big damage. As long as you cast Ice Shards at least once every 5 seconds you will maintain the extra damage from Hail of Verglas.

The real heavy hitter comes in the form of Orsivane which gives massive damage boosts for each Defensive Skill you leave off the bar. The great thing about this, is that you gain the Enchantment abilities for each of the Defensive Skills left off the bar i.e. Flame Shield Enchantment is Losing 30% of your life within 2 seconds automatically casts Flame Shield. This can only happen once every 21 seconds. Normally you need to have this equipped, but by using Orsivane you just automatically get that Enchantment to activate.

Temerity allows us to use Healing Potions even when we are at Maximum Life and because we are running Orsivane, any time we use a Healing Potion we gain Ice Armor.

Mythic Set-up

For this set up, you'll have a choice. Hail of Verglas is the stronger option, but it does require you to maintain buffs. You can swap it out for Heir of Perdition . We're also replacing Blue Rose with the Ring of Starless Skies. This will not only add damage, but also help with Mana management as well. Lastly we replace out Chest Piece with Shroud of False Death. This is a really strong option as it adds +1 to all defensive and offensive Passives.

Mana Management

Early on, adding Resource Cost Reduction onto your gear will help a lot. You can also add on Mana Per Second. The Rune combinations below will also help you with you Mana issues.

For the overworld Mana Issues

  • Ahu + Lum
  • Igni + Lum
  • Zan + Lum
  • Bac + Lum
  • Lith + Lum

Found a Mythic and want to know if it's useable? Is this Mythic usable with my build video?
