Change Aspect of Piercing Cold to: Ice Shards pierce [3-12] times and now chills enemies
New Unique: Shard of Kabraxis - Unique Focus
Prefix: Cold Damage
+60-120 Intelligence
+40-80% Critical Strike Damage
+14-28% Chance for Ice Shards to Cast Twice
+2-4 Ranks to Ice Shards
Every 5 ice shards cause an enemy to explode dealing 40-60% of Ice Shards total damage
Let me know if you think this idea is cool by upvoting. Give more build options for Sorc!
I like it, it’s sort of like Shatter… Though there’s an argument that Shatter is better. Lots of stuff dies inside of 5 shards especially on lower difficulties, though it’s obviously better when you’re fighting damage sponges.
Probably the critical strike damage should be Vuln damage to better match the cold theme and mechanics. And I’d argue that attack speed is a hard requirement on any ice shards unique.
Seem to be honest for me.
I think Ice Shards should be played with Shatter Pants (who need to be rework and up)
Maybe instead of a explosion, every 5 Ice Shards casts procs the Shatter on the target?
Iceheart Brais is basically unusable in its present form. Shatter is, unfortunately, useless for scaling damage to the degree needed for high Torments, so you have to use Avalanche or Enlightenment. And that’s in addition to the fact that it has a useless stat like Cold Resist and that the buff it gives to Shatter is way too low.
It’s an OK leveling piece (only OK, not great) but becomes redundant once you get your hands on more reliable ways to apply Freeze and Vuln.
Hey, I like this idea. And to the poster that mentioned attack speed, I figured you could get attack speed elsewhere like a GA / Masterworking on starless skies gives about 50% by itself.
