How it Plays

Push setup is kind of crap to play. A lot of different skills to weave.

Casual setup is more chill and is like a traditional Sorc build with 1 main caster in Ball Lightning and then Hydra every 5 seconds and spamming rest of cooldowns. Real brain off build.

How it Works

You definitely don't figure out some convoluted macro to weave this stupid amount of skills together while pacing ice shards, ball lightnings, and hydras together. That is against TOS and a bannable offense.

Verglas Ice Shards

Verglas used to be a running total type thing, where stuff fell off and you needed to cast 7-8x every 5 seconds
Now it appears you just get up to full stacks, then just need to cast ice shards once every 5 seconds to keep it all up
