• In S10 you can get -4.0 sec per attack having Flickerstep Chaos Armor • This allows you to perma TP even with very low cooldown reduction! • There are breakpoints depending on which boots you use +TP skillranks • Rule of thumb is you get around 4-5% cooldown on top per teleport rank • This means you can multiply your TP Enchant CD times 0.82 with 5/5 TP • For Flickersteps you want your Teleport Enchant to show max 3.4 sec • For Legendary boots with 1.5 Implicit you want to reach 2.0 to be save • If you only have the base point in Teleport, you want at least 2.7 or 1.7

Blizzards tooltip doesn't show cooldown reduction you get from ranks

Example: • Tooltip says 2.3sec in town, you have 5 points in Teleport and you use Vex: • Only added ranks count, therefore you have +7 in your Teleport skill, this means you get another 26% cooldown reduction on your enchantment: • 2.3 multiplied by 0.74 (1-0.26) = 1.702 • This means even if you attack 5 times per second (every 200ms/12 Frames) you will have permanent Teleport • Simply multiply your tooltips cooldown by the number shown below:

+1 Rank = 0.95 (5% CDR): TP Skillpoint +2 Ranks = 0.90 (10% CDR): TP Skillpoints +3 Ranks = 0.86 (14% CDR): TP Skillpoints/Vex +4 Ranks = 0.82 (18% CDR): TP Skillpoints/Shako +5 Ranks = 0.79 (21% CDR): TP Ranks on Chest +6 Ranks = 0.76 (24% CDR): TP Ranks on Chest +7 Ranks = 0.74 (26% CDR): TP Skillpoints+Vex +8 Ranks = 0.72 (28% CDR): TP Skillpoints+Shako +9 Ranks = 0.70 (30% CDR): TP Skillpoints+Shroud+Shako +11 Ranks = 0.66 (34% CDR): TP Skillpoints+Shako+Vex +12 Ranks = 0.65 (35% CDR): TP Skillpoints+Shako+Vex+Shroud +15 Ranks = 0.62 (38% CDR): TP Skillpoints+Shako+Vex+TP Ranks Chest +19 Ranks = 0.60 (40% CDR): (maximum)

1) Wizard Blizzard - Scaling Mana regen based on max mana • What this build uses

2) Mana Shield Seasonal Power 5000% mana regen • Disengage & don't take damage for 2 seconds, get 5000% mana regen • Can work in flame shield if you really need to make this easier, just take off Tenuous Destruction aspect

3) Swap Explosive combinations seasonal power for Invigorating attacks and cast your basic every 5 seconds

4) You may find that the mana regen from primordial binding is enough when combined with 60% mana cost reduction from the avalanche key passive & the frozen memories aspect

Mana Shield gives us 10,000-15,000 max mana and that becomes our Life and Mana source. If we don't take any form of damage for 2 seconds, we activate 5000% mana regen. We use wizard blizzard to regen this passively while fighting • You are basically unkillable with this as long as you had good mana regen

Advanced Techniques grants us increased core damage per rank we have in the skill, at the cost of costing way more mana to cast. Which is not a problem due to mana shield. Ranks to core/frozen orb are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

Power Siphon grants us 2x core damage, at the cost of reducing our max mana by 20 per cast for 6 seconds. This max mana reduction effect stacks, but the entire stack doesn't refresh upon cast. It's like a rolling amount. Again, because of mana shield... we are moisturized and unbothered.

Flex Slot Explosive Combinations - casting a basic increases all of our damage by 20% for 5 seconds, stacking up to 3 times for 60% Every 5 seconds you will cast Frostbolt 3 times and then go about your business until it expires. A slightly less annoying Hail of Verglas Ice Shard scenario. In farm content you can probably just ignore doing this.

Mana Regen option if needed Invigorating Attacks - every 5 seconds you can cast a basic and restore all of your mana

You have 3 slots where you will want to slot Chaos Armor. Chest, Pants, and Boots

You want Chaos Winterglass, Flickersteps, and Lucion. The combo will add a ton of damage and enable you to get a 1 attack teleport evade while using Perdition, which is normally impossible.

Other notable good options are Locran's Talisman and Fist of Fate.

Order of Importance • Aspect Value (Want close to 65%, I would use 750 item power 65% over 1-2 Greater Affix 40%) • Chance for Frozen Orb to cast twice • Ranks to Primordial Binding • Non-Physical Damage • All Resist

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

This information is not fully relevant for S10, specifically the damage bonuses for Frozen Orb

Grand Total = 36 stacks • In practice you will float from 26-30 with BIS gear which provides 8% damage per stack, so 240% damage or 3.4x damage**

Ice Blades - 6 Total • 3 from casting off the skillbar • 3 from Winterglass spawns (Free Ice Blade Enchant)

Lightning Spear - 10 • 10 total from casting and/or Winterglass spawns

Familiar - 6 • 6 total from casting and/or Winterglass spawns

Hydra - 4 • 2 from casting off the skillbar • 2 from Winterglass spawns (Free Hydra Enchant)

Spirit Wolves - Ceh Rune - 10 • 10 wolves can be out at once • When you combine Nagu + Ceh you will have 100% uptime on 10 wolves
