going to be honest this is meh. if all they did was just made the exploit glyph act like it does for 3/5 classes it would have been a bigger “buff” than this and it would have taken less paper.

Pets can proc frost nova quite effectively once lucky hit is up. But still, very limiting.

I’ve been playing with Frozen Orb as an Enchantment. The damage increase is promising.

Not sure if this is as big of an increase as it seems. Most of its damage still comes from the Aspect which is unaffected by how strong Blizzard is.

You still gotta pick up 8 crackling energies instead of 5 to maximize its damage, which is a problem by itself. Another thing to consider is the damage buff worth it over losing Lightning Spear’s ability to stun on crit and the associated damage to stunned and CC’d affixes and aspects?

Should have been 100% to begin with. The baseline comparison should be with the piercing shards aspect. Giving Ice Shards piercing way more than doubles it’s dps output against mobs. Yet we have this aspect, and the Chain Lightning aspect, having only a mere %chance to hit more.
