Buff Frozen Orb

Blizzard come on already. the Sorceresses blizzard ability is very powerful and is the go to for all cold sorc builds. I would love to rock a Frozen Orb sorc on +8 and be able to do good damage. It’s just so weak it takes forever to clear anything. The only way to get decent damage is to be standing far enough back to where the Orb explodes on your target so all the shards hit at once.

Anyone have thought on how they could buff / fix frozen orb? It needs to be stronger.

I completly agree.
Finished my FO Sorc and Dmg is ok if playing alone…dmg is insane. One orb wipes everything away…but multiplayer…

I dont want to play Blizzard like 95 percent cold sorcs do.

I always played FO and its a shame that the dmg is so low…ice bolt should give 4 or even 5 percent bonus and even than blizzard has higher dmg but FO could be played

And its sad that even after so many years the Skill never got a Buff…

Edit:
My Orb Sorc is now finished.
death fathom +35-5res + Spirit Monarch
Nightwing+20-5res
Mara30
CoH Armor
Cta 6Bo+ spirit
Chance guards
2 soj
Arach
50WT
Torch + Anni with Cold Sunder Charm and Rest with Cold Skillers naked.

14xx Orb Dmg…its okay but still far behind Blizzard…wonder whats the max possible Orb Dmg is.

Skills ice bolt max+fo max+ cm mastery till-195 res with items. 1 point mana reg skill , telekinese and energie shield max.
1100 Life over 2000 Mana.
Pray and insight merc . Never need to use potions and can tank alot.

Like i said dmg is insane for sp runs or runs with a few people but Full Game dmg sucks…
Infinity no need for push dmg further.
Only way would be Cold Ormus 20 cold dmg-5 res
Or Monarch with 4 cold facets…but would loose 4 skills much resi fcr and more…would be glass cannon …

Oh just buff FO…its really needed.

Edit:
Made a FO version with 20-20 cold monarch and
Ormus20-5. Dmg is much better 17xx but still to low in p8 runs.
