I made a sorc with frozen orb and boy… it sucks for single target.
I don’t know if is the aspect or the skill itself. Its good for clearing. Clear regular mobs really well at level 100 but any single boss I faced, it failed. It can’t kill the Butcher, I got Varshan and Grigoire but it took some time.
Another thing that bothers me much with it is that with the aspect, the skill has a fixed point of travelling. What do I mean by that? It means that it will travel to a point in the screen no matter where you put the mouse. I would prefer if you could control the distance, for it to explode where the mouse is, closer to the character or not. Because if you have a boss like the Butcher that likes to hug you and you shooting to the other side of the screen because you can’t control where the orb will be, it won’t work.
But if I’m wrong, tell me and teach me how to fix this.
Atm i am using Frozen orb and Blizzard build cos i dont like Ice shards.
And my damage as frozen orb is like 12k and blizzard 4-5k. I am still level 63 and WT3.
But those numbers isnot exatcly that high that U could just make really fast runs while u farm better gear.
Lots of sorc skills are in a bad spot. Frozen orb just needs so much to pull off. Its actually fun once you start having multiple orbs each cast w/the aspect that they sit in place and multiple explosions. Problem is fun and good unfortunately are two different things atm in d4.
Yeah, i’m thinking about transitioning to it, even if I like frozen orb.
But I can’t keep frozen orb that way. Part of end game is precisely killing bosses.
I was using frozen orb last season, had all uber uniques feom farming on barb, used an overpower build with the neck from duriel, it was ok … Crits overpower were 200k and it wasnt great for boss killing.
