Anyone know of a good Frozen Orb/Lightning Spear build?

Hi all,

I have tried the following builds:

Mekuna:

Maxroll:

Both use Ice Blades and Ball Lightning and to be honest i cannot stand the playstyle of them spells.

I loved the S5 build: Frozen Orb/Lightning Spear/Unstable Current/Teleport/Flame Shield/Ice Armor and i think the enchantments was Firebolt/Ice Blades

Is there a build out there that is like S5 build like above that uses the same skills but is viable in S6?

Just hate this Ball Lightning and Ice Blades combo with Teleport on evade now.

Mekuna’s T1-T4 LS/FO. I use shako, tyreal’s, starless. STILL have 750 gloves. I kill everything and am a tank with limitless mana. And…it’s #1 speedfarmer. The one thing I really like about this season is once you have your paragon up, you really don’t have to change the boards for the other sorc builds. This is a big plus IMHO. I use fire bolt and FO enchantment.

Thanks for the reply :smiley:

Do you think this is doable with that build from Mekuna?

Helm (Heir of Perdition)
Chest (Tyreal Might)
Gloves (Aspect of Frozen Orbit)
Pants (Aspect of the Orange Herald)
Boots (Rakanoth’s Wake)
Staff (Aspect of Splintering Energy)
Amulet (Fractured Winterglass)
Ring (Ring of Starless Skies)
Ring (Tal Rasha’s)
POC-GAR & TAM-OHM

EDIT: I also noticed he uses Teleport for a enchantment, not sure if I’m right but was it Ice Blades in season 5…or Firebolt?..can’t remember.

because that for raiment to gather mobs so that sorcerer’s fastest attack speed skill ie ball lightning can deal damage while shatter as passive records the damage value and emits out when freeze ends.

dropping ice blade is because no longer depend on lightning spear that need cooldown to cast.

Try Lurkin’s Frozen Orb - John Snow build on Mobalytics. It does use Ice Blades. though. He spends a lot of time testing and pushing builds, so I would trust that guide. I used it for my sorc, but I have stopped playing this season.

I’m sure you can customize it to your taste.

Sorry. I use fire bolt and FO enchantment. I don’t have the Heir of P. 3GA Esu’s., Tal rasha’s, staff. Gloves are just legendary but have the right rolls and just haven’t found but a very few. GA gloves that have at least 2 stats to temper. The very few I’ve found are bricked.It’s kind of a mix of mecuna’s, maxroll, and lurkin’s build. Very similar to what I used last season.

The build I’m looking at does not use Raiment, nor Ball Lightning, it’s this one:

The Mythical Version.

Big plus is Lurkin covers several variations of the build. I used the Starter variation, & have now built up to the Mythic Shroud build. It’s a ton of fun & can do everything in the game (I’ve been farming Tormented Ubers, although I still haven’t quite learned the Lilith Second Phase).

The combo I’ve found most comfortable for helltides but not for anything that requires bosses:

Frostburn + Azure Wrath (where all the damage really comes from)
Perdition Helm
Shroud Chest
Winterglass
Boots with All Resists (either of the uniques will do)
Splintering on Focus
Tal Rasha + Starless

Enchantments Firebolt and Chain Lightning

Finally, I found for this setup Unstable Currents is less comfortable for speed farming than just adding another conjuration on skill bar to keep the conjuration mastery stacks up.
