Glacial Aspect, Aspect of the Frozen Wake, Aspect of the Frozen Tundra, and Aspect of Frozen Memories are mandatory aspects. If you happen to get any one of these as a Sanctified Aspect on an item, you can drop Ring 2 and run Blue Rose, and prioritize the chance for Ice Spikes to explode twice affix.

If you are having problems keeping your barriers up, use Aspect of Mind's Awakening on your Pants

    How it Plays

    Lightning Spear Spam off CD for a barrier, stuns, and applying vulnerable

    How it Works

    Blizzard uses the Glacial Aspect to make Ice spikes. Mage's Blizzard makes Blizzard last 12 seconds and you spawn 2 Ice spikes a second. Aspect of the Frozen Wake increases your damage for each ice spike that explodes. Aspect of the Frozen Tundra increases the area of each ice spikes explosion radius, which vastly increases damage because more spikes hit each target. Aspect of Frozen Memories aids in mana cost and increases your Avalanche damage by a lot.

    As many Mage's Blizzard's as you can cast in 12 seconds is how much DPS you can do so attack speed is very important. The issue is the damage takes 12 seconds to fully ramp up which sucks if the enemies are chonky and move alot. But not an issue on Bosses as they usually sit there and you can pre cast before they spawn to pre ramp your damage.

    Blue Rose doesn't have space in the build as it's aspect is useless. It is an item purely taken for it's Ice Spike Explode twice affix. After the changes to masterworking it's just not as good, and with the addition of Orsivane there is no space for it. If you get one of the main aspects as a Sanctification you can replace Ring 2 with it.

    Orsivane Free Enchantments

    Orsivane grants you 40% damage per defensive skill not on your skill bar and then grants you those enchantments for free. We are missing 3 on the defensives so we get 120% damage. And no, these enchantments do not count towards enchantment masters legendary node damage. That node just looks at equipped enchantments in your enchantment slots.

    Unfortunately Protection got nerfed, so unless you can giga spam cooldowns you will likely have tiny barriers that get stripped away easily. So we run Shimmering Ice Armor on the skill bar to help with that. If you happen to get Aspect of Mind's Awakening as a Sanctification, or just want to run it over Snowguard's Aspect, you can drop Ice armor off the skill bar for Frost Bolt just to get more damage from Elemental Synergies. You would then swap Shimmering Ice Armor for Mystical Ice Armor in the skill tree so that when you get the Enchantment for free from Orsivane, whenever you press a potion you get that 15% extra damage from Mystical Ice Armor against frozen enemies.

    Mystical Frost Nova enchant that procs off any Lucky hit for 15% damage
    Mystical Teleport enchant gives a teleport evade every 3.5 seconds with enchantment master that makes crackling energy for Convulsions damage
    Flame Shield enchant gives you some immunity frames when you take too much damage, which then goes on a 30 second cooldown.

    Elixir/Incense

    Elixir - Advantage II for 15% attack speed
    Incense 1 - Sages Whisper for 100 Intelligence. Use 60 All stats one if you need to hit paragon reqs
    Incense 2 - Song of the Mountain for 300 armor
    Incense 3 - Soothing Spices for all resistance, max all resistance, and some armor
