Hello,
Now that we have the Warlock expansion, please update the Frozen Orb skill
Make it have no cooldown and can cast as fast as FCR breakpoint
Additionally increase Ice Bolt synergy to 6% damage per point
Add additional synergy skill as well (the Ice Armor skills maybe) at 6% damage per point
Thank you
Since Frozen Orb did not have a cooldown in D2, was that added in D2R?
Casting timers were released 29 June 2001, with Diablo II: Lord of Destruction:
Never really noticed since I was doing cast, move, cast with Frozen Orb.
I wonder how many more threads the OP has in store which basically equate to “Plz make game easier”.
FO is a magnificent skill
but it is a secondary skill, not a primary BY DESIGN
it is obvious… if you look at the facts, FO is OP up until hell… but since it is not synergized it does not scale… so, the blizz sorc is the most powerfull cold sorc, not the FO sorc… that’s how the game wants it to be
the lack of power may not be so obvious in p1, but it is brutally exposed in p8
yet the skill shines as a secondary, when you need a second damage type
btw, this was my first disappointment because even until today I do not like blizzard nearly as much as FO… I like the skills that aim (FO, FW, L)… maybe that’s why I finally became a zon… regarding FO, I guess that it is what it is for me… : /
then there is the issue raised by many ignorants… that you should be able to finish the game with the skill of your liking… that all the skills should be viable and equally strong… which is ofc absurd… because perfect equality brings perfect lack of meaning… if all skills are equally strong they are all the same… there is no diversity… there is no strategy ! everything has the same flavour ! d2 is so much much better than this
Frozen Orb used to be a Primary skill, I am simply asking for a return to that
It can still be a primary skill even now, it just requires God Gear and Sunder charm to be good
But these changes would make it good even if you are just using a Wirts Leg
you obviously hadn’t been around when d2 was released.
The first real OP char was the FC SF FO sorc.
7 classes with 30 skills each minus the few which are OP already.
what can I say, synegies were introduced in 1.10 or so
I was playing a lot back then… didn’t give it much attention at the time…
I think it was progress…
the usual design choice would be to unlock more powerful skills as you progress
synergies are somewhat more elaborate than this, I think
also, it wasn’t the usual suspects the ones who introduced synergies, idkn if you know that detail…
I miss the old wikis… these forums are nothing like them…
: )
correct.
cast delays were introduced with the release of LoD though, so much earlier. FO didn’t get buffed as much as other newly delayed skills.
Yeah, and it probably had something to do with the fact that a highly leveled and well placed FO can do up to around 15K damage WITHOUT synergies, especially on large targets and bosses.
frozen orb doesnt have cooldown on d4
that’s why I am saying that it was a design choice
that BNorth engineer (Peter Hu) who designed synergies didn’t include FO in a strong tree
this was on purpose
what is d4 ?
(8 characters)
wth is this?
didnt they buffed nova to S tier? whats the problem in turning FO into a S tier build?
gosh its one take worse after the other
no worse than your good self !

go play fortnite, will you ?
heck
we know its bad faith when the guy starts with strawman
not ALL
just the ICONIC ONES
gosh
what iconic ones dummy ?
is there a skill that writes “iconic” at the description ?
where are you from ? mars ?
thats for the devs to decide
but no veteran would deny that FO is an iconic skill in the eyes of the community
I am talking facts here… can you keep up ?
read a bit
ask the gbt, idkn
I do not care about rude ignorants like you
there is a person, a real man called Peter Hu
a chief architect for the game, not a bump like your good self
he made the world event and the synergies
he was the chief dev
a BNorth guy, famous to the community (not to you obviously)
you understand dummy ? you ok ?
synergies was his job
need I say more ?
do you understand ?
a BNorth guy
is you IQ over 80 ?
