Those cold skillers aren’t helping as much as hibernal charms, which get multiplied by your +%csd and your -%ecr. They’re only boosting your (severely overkill) cold mastery which is already nerfed severely against sundered enemies. This would significantly boost your single target damage against bosses where your AR is going to get checked HARD, so every hit you actually land is going to hurt that much more.

Better yet use a second account with a dedicated enchantress that has level 50+ and only max fire mastery so you get that fat 30k bonus damage and 500% bonus AR

@hyunwhanjoe34775 ай бұрын
This is such a cool idea using Ice to make a frost nova bow sorc. I probably would use demon limb for enchant and put the remaining points into static field and use a lightning sunder or if you can drop the faith and use infinity for higher player counts.

crafted hit power gloves with 20 ias is prob best in slot cause it has a Frost Nova proc and knockback with the chance to roll dual res as well!
@XLOBAXCIONX5 ай бұрын
Ive done the Frost Maiden before. I had basically the same build except I used Fortitude for the fcr, all res, dmg, no need to use points into cold armor, and 12% dmg to mana to help with energy shield. Dual leech ring with plus to mana and all res, and soj for more mana. Nosferatus is just all around better than having 33% pierce...
@imRamaChandra9 күн бұрын
Sorry but Nosferatu's is deninately not better! Every time you pierce you're doubling your damage and also getting another chance to proc the synergized Frost Nova. Your low physical damage means that life steal has a negligible effect. Also the max damage and dex are useful stats. You may say that slow and IAS are good stats but you're already slowing with the Frost Nova's and Holy Freeze aura and the 10 ias won't get you to a faster attack break point.

This is interesting and I'm going to try this out. A great bow will be faster than diamond, so you will only need 40 ias total (instead of 60) to hit max bp. One question though, does the pierce allow multiple frost novas to proc from the same arrow? If so, I wonder if Wisdom will be better than Nightwing's.
@conrad15625 ай бұрын
Follow-up here, since all the frost nova damage is based on synergies, it looks like skillers don't add very much. I will try with great bow, 2 fcr / res rings, fort, trang gloves, and wisdom. Should be able to hit max ias and 63 fcr bp.
@RNGesus_Channel5 ай бұрын
The pierce allows for multiple procs, I actually had a wisdom ready to go for a comparison and completely forgot to put it on! Good thought on the Great Bow. Like most of these build ideas, I figure out a starting base but there is always min max improvements

Itd is super helpful for us, but it doesn't mean we will be hitting all the time. Ensuring we have a good amount of AR is only going to benefit our hit chance percentage. Don't want to be missing 50% of our shots.

Want to use a xbow on a sorc? Go enchantress, everything else is hogwash. Your pierce is low, your dmg is mediocre, your mana is an issue when teleporting (have to pot constantly), you don't have energy shield either. This build falls into same category as poison dagger/poison explosion necro, and even that build might clear faster since all necros have CE.

Like the arrow damage or the frost nova damage? The arrow damage after enchant is 1613-2011. But most damage is coming from the fully synergised lvl 22 frost nova. What the damage of that is I would have to calculate, I'm not 100% sure.

I use an editor to test/showcase new builds, it's not sustainable to have an idea and farm endless high runes for the idea to not work out. Most of the time when i'm playing the game it is online. I can appreciate seeing perfect gear all the time is not the reality which most players have access to, but the fact is most of these builds would work fine with the standard gear you can get.
