- How does this passive work on bosses? Does it damage them every time you attempt to stun them?
- How does this passive work on normal monsters and elites? Does it damage them when they are unstoppable when it makes a stun check? Does it only damage them when it actually stuns or when it is supposed to stun them but does not (every time it attempts to stun)?
How it should work is when mobs are stunned, they take x% weapon damage from that passive. Bosses when staggered are impacted by all CC, thus will result in the same effect.
When mobs are unstoppable, they cannot take this damage, until the next stun occurs.
Will be worth trying you think over devouring blaze if you spec enough stun on your gear with tempering?
I have such a build loaded up for S5 (assuming nothing nerfs this passive) to see how it goes. I didn’t remove DB though, I added SI to DB.
It’s possible. I remember launch when ice shards was the build. The meta was devouring blaze with fire bolt. I was running frost bolt instead and had a ton of chill on my gear. I froze stuff so fast they were frozen down the hall off screen because of chain reactions and they just blew up before I even got there. Worked great on bosses too as they would stagger super fast. Didn’t even have blizzard in the build.
Probably was not as good as meta but I destroyed everything I tried to do.
Well i put in hoarfrost instead with ice shield. So attemping to run SI with hoarfrost and Azurewrath (have a 4 GA azurewrath I picked up). Supposed I could do all three but need to find points to drop from somewhere else=)
