Levelling Frost Mage Huge Freeze/Shatter
Build Overview
Welcome to MrRonit's Frost Mage Levelling Build!
This is the perfect build for beginners looking to get into the sorceress harnessing all the best facets of a typical frost mage - chills, freezes, and huge shatter damage! Using
Frost Bomb we can do huge damage early on, and then we use
Ice Nova defensively to freeze incoming enemies.
Cold Snap allows us to shatter enemies instantly for even more damage!
This is great for act 1 until around level 20!
Here is the level 20-40 version which includes
Frostbolt
Cold Snap combo
Edit: Use this
Fireball

Equipment
Gelid staff provides
Freezing Shards skill which consumes no mana and is amazing for freezing enemies early on!
No other real equipment requirement - just prioritise cold damage, +1/2 to cold spells, spell damage on weapons
On armour look for life, resistances, energy shield and mana affixes
Skill Gems
Punch
Item
Frost Bomb
Ice Nova
Solar Orb
Cold Snap




Passive Tree
How it Plays
1) Use
Frost Bomb and
Solar Orb first
2) Apply
Ice Nova to Freeze enemies in place where
Frost Bomb and
Solar Orb are
3) Spam
Cold Snap +
Ice Nova
4) Rinse and Repeat
How it Works
Cold Damage applies chill and freeze - killing frozen enemies shatters them causing even more damage.
Freeze is very powerful for early game CCs and can even CC bosses as well. Early levels freezing shards is pretty good but once you have most of the above skills unlocked you don't need it.
Frost Bomb does HUGE damage and we make it larger with the Magnified Effect support gem.
Solar Orb ar adds fire damage and ignite DoT.
Then we use
Ice Nova to root enemies in place so they get hit by both frost bomb and solar orb. Finish them off with
Cold Snap
