Yeah, definitely subbed for this video. When you show the work you went through to provide your information, I'm in. Methodical, accurate. True pleasure to see ya work. I do functionality/QA testing as part of my job, so I respect the attention to detail. Bravo.
This helps a lot ive been trying to get my blizzard sorc right. So focus on all ice spike damage boosts and cold damage boosts and dont worry about overall damage percentages right? Focus on beefing intelligence and roll armor with mana per second perks as well as atk speed to just dump spikes
I believe there was a mistake, you should not count the white damage but the yellow. The white damage will get ice fall bonus because it can be the blizzard damage. Since blizzard can't crit, it would be safer count the yellow
Thanks. Shame about the blizzard size though. Ive been doing tests with the 'cast twice' affixes. They dont count as casts for unstable currents. Still need to test whether the double cast doubles your enchantment proc like frozen orb or chain lightning, but i doubt it
I have a all fire build and use hydra, firewall, and meteor my damage multiplier but recently got a helmet that spawns ice spikes on lucky hit very very cool
I actually feel pretty downed about sorcerer single target dps :S It is by far the weakest single target class in the game while everyone have decent and even godly aoe AND incredible single target builds .. all our skills are mainly AOE and we try to single target dps via aoe and thats stupid :S I followed your leveling firewall then swapped to blizzard which was good, but then i wanted more single target and swapped to frozen orb and did all the tempering just to find out that frozen orb does less single target than blizzard build :S All in all i feel sorcerer is just lacking some legendary aspect or even a core skill or something that can be build towards single target. We have incredible aoe builds and mediocre single target, i want to be able to build very good single target with just decent aoe for the hardest boss fights :S Now i am out of tempering tries and i cant even go back to blizzard cause i used my best items for frozen orb build and it is weak even with all the ubers needed and every good tempering its still weak.
I actually feel like sorc is in a pretty decent state right now. It's just all the other classes single target damage is stupidly overtuned. Killing bosses taking 2 minutes fighting is actually a lot of fun for me. Id rather keep sorc like it is and just tune down all the stupid "infinite" multipliers that literally every class has but sorc :P For sorc all multipliers are pretty much capped at 30% and that's why sorc actually playes like the only "real" class.
@@GoldfarmingGuide I believe Blizzard does it on purpose. They actively change which classes get overtuned to incentivize replayability for the new seasons. They knowingly create the meta. It's always easy to think people incompetent if you're not aware of the con. Players rush to play that "broken" build thinking they're getting one over on the devs.
Regarding blizzard size, so ur saying the ice spikes are more spaced out, less dense? What if U put on the tundra deep freeze aspect on say gloves to test. It gives 50% radius boost to spikes, maybe can be ok to compensate for density lost idk..?
Attack power is not really a reliable stat. It ignores conditional modifiers and only uses unconditional ones. It has no impact on your damage its just an indicator. Also make sure to press "evade" with Esus Boots on so the crit gets factored in ;) Same with attack speed elixir Also dont look in town look at training dummy
@@GoldfarmingGuide Ah ok thanks for the explanation. What does this mean for ring of the starless skies? It gives me sheet attack power in combat. Does it do anything else that would work for blizz sorc?
will fractured winterglass work with a blizzard build? and why no life on hit? Is this coz of all the mana regens ? Im not far into the season as you can see 😊…thx for your vids m8👍
that is sad news as it looks cool when the size is big, but only viabel for the actual blizzard if it usful to max aout bliz and have alot of + blizzard
You want to get enough cold damage to max out your frigid fate bonus, which gives you 10% of your cold damage as bonus dmg to vulnerable enemies, up to 30%. Once you hit the 30% bonus make sure the rest are ice spike damage.
