Ice Battle Mage (Cold Sorc)

One quick question: Does the Glacial Torrent skill use faster cast rate, or faster attack rate?

[scira]

for Hardcore?

I'm currently 1teens and was farming torajan and just started kurast. Wanna get 120 and full sacred set before I start farming ubers.

I am specd with ice elementals, hit most break points. I've been working on stats and only have maybe 50 signet of learning points. I've put maybe 100 stat points into vit (5.1k health), rest in str/dex for gear and then into energy.

When I hit kurast, I get more and more spikes of damage. Any thoughts on skill or stat adaptation?

Does anyone have some experience with Frozen Orb? Trash gimmick or is there some potential?

yea frozen orb doesnt scale well on this mod, but if you'd like to adjust some stuff you wanna get the Oskill from the set pieces Wintertide.

- depends on your gear tbh. i had little to no problems using the Tiered Uniques and Ice Elementals. If you don't have the set pieces , dont use ice elementals. if you only have tired uniques you should be using melee devotion still.
- hard to tell what your issue is when you don't provide enough information, whats your resistsances, your energy, whats your phys res, whats your defense, whats your skill tree, what did you mystic orb items with, make sure these are all maxed out
- are you following the guide? i update it nearly every day, hour, minute, seconds

- last and not least, you can try picking up snow queen 13 points and warp armor . no ice elementals, keep melee devotion.

I'll pick up melee devotion, I wasn't sure if it would disable any skills, had read something about that

Hey Dru, how has your Scos farming experience been? I feel like I'm getting pretty decently geared at this point and im still having a very rough time in scos, taking a ton of damage. I'm at 84/85/85/83 res and 41 phys res. Cant keep mana shield up in scos though because im taking too much damage and end up having 0 mana trying to fight the ice eles. Any tips on changing gear or what to improve next? https://median-xl.com/char/Amuse

- Use Perfect Gems to increase Max Resistances quicker!
- Also, that free skill point. go head and place that into Force Blast!
- once you complete this you should have no issues.
- If you haven't checked, I just posted a video of farming Scosglen. it went pretty well and and was easy. (Feel Free to Check it out!)
