Hey there
Anyone ever tried the Wintry majesty frozen orb oskill?
Im doing it with a druid, got 170 cold pierce high energy high cold spell dmg, but the dmg dont feel right
need to cast 5 frozen orb to kill dunc cold absorbs. With the high mana cost, I expected the damage of a frozen orb would have been great, even with all the stats worked to it.

Yeah this SSSU needs to much investment for to less benefits.

2 Seasons ago I built an FO Druid with the help of a lot of donated gear. If you want you can check the result here

Yeh it ain't worth it. In classic LOD it is a great skill because it does solid dmg and covers a good area, but in Median almost every spec has access to strong AOE attacks that have better killspeed than this oskill.

What did worked better was the build utilizing that 9k mana orb of death oskill, idk what was the name. Used to be called BFG83K.

I found this skill to be underwhelming as well for something found on an SSSU. I’m sure there’s some other great uses for the staff though

High mana cost for 0 dmg , great combination , normally skills that Is hard to sustain mana for should be big but this is a joke skill xD

It’s a real shame to hear since this was one of my favorite skills from the base game. If you like the mechanics of it you might want to look into Orb of Annihilation as stated above.

in comparison to trinity beam everything sucks, why does anybody play anything else cept trinity beam../sarcasm

i cant imagine how you think it just flat out sucks when other o skills are still literally unplayable. Have you even tried the build yourself or did you watch the video and then say oh wow not even 5 min fauntz clear/10. Either way i still had fun testing with the staff on a superbeast paladin, while the dmg was most of the time a bit lack luster it still could do everything in the game. even rifts if you wanted to get all the zann esu jewels which i did not.
