Just a general question, would an elemental damage option help with build choice?
Direct damage types:
- Physical
- Fire
- Cold/Freeze
- Poison
- Shadow
On my Sorc I’ve built around bonus damage to Chilled/CC/Frozen. Naturally I run all ice skill except for Hydra, because when you enchant Hydra it procs Frost Nova. Frost Nova freeze enemies so you both stop them in their tracks and with bonuses deal a lot of damage to them. Especially if they’re grouped because Ice Bolt’s special skill is to explode on impact if they’re frozen. So it’s a single shot and AoE all in one. So if you build for exploiting the damage type you normally pump out you’ll do great. If you just run a damage type to run it and don’t really have bonuses for it you’re going to have a bad day.
