1.You need at least access to Winter Orb to Play it.
2. Spell Leech is bugged so you are not leeching health - waiting for a patch.
I
So this is a Concept for a Crit Oriented Winter Orb Blood Mage.
Combining A LOT of Projectiles with Cast on Critical Comet, this looks like a strong all rounder for any type of content.
UPDATE - Seems we cant Sustain bloodmagic, so going to use Mana instead.
Ask me on Twitch if you will have questions, link is up there.
EARLY SKILLS - Spark + Flame Wall - Raging Spirits + Solar Orb
After that Invest into Ember Fusillade + Flame Wall + Solar Orb.
Repick to Winter Orb when it is available.
You can also use any other build to level up early and repick when lvl for Winter Orb is reached.
Skill Gems
Punch
Item
Eye of Winter
Cast on Critical
Blasphemy
Flame Wall
Hypothermia















Blasphemy is still a great way to survive better, even after the initial nerf.
EARLY SKILLS - Spark + Flame Wall - Raging Spirits + Solar Orb
After that Invest into Ember Fusillade + Flame Wall + Solar Orb.
Repick to Winter Orb + CoC when it is available.
Passive Tree
Cast Speed and Crit Chance are both important to stack.
Adding some bonuses to triggers also help.
You can also skip first Ascendency - Sanguimancy to avoid Life cost early on.
EARLY GAME - Using Flame related skills is a great way to progress early.
How it Plays
You just throw your Winter Orbs into enemy's direction hoping for Wildshard to Proc and Enjoying Huge crits from your Comet when Winter Orb projectiles crit.
Casting occasional Flame Walls to improve the damage of your projectiles when they will fly through and sniping mark against bosses is recommended.
How it Works
In terms of offense we are combining Winter Orb with as much Cast Speed bonuses as possible + Wintershards to provide even more projectiles.
We are also using Unleash for initial boost against enemy packs with multiple orbs.
You need to Crit as often as possible too because it triggers comet so investin in Crit.
Since Bloodmage is based around Crit - getting Cast on Critical is a great idea, so we can combine it with Comet + Spell Echo to do tremendous damage.
In Terms of defenses, we have a life stack + Enfeeble as an aura + Free Petrified from Ascendency together with Life Leech and Recoup.
Also build should do a lot of Cold damage with both Comet and Winter Orb projectiles freezing everything around - so it will be easier to survive.
