Yes they are great at speed farming easy content but that is about it.
When it comes to The Pit they are Shi*…
Give some love to Ice Shard builds, they have been crap since launch of game.
Shards was bis early game for sorc. I played a version of shards from release until this patch; probably still my fave skill for aesthetic/function, but need starless/shako for best approach so i swapped to another main spam skill. Couldnt sustain without starless while using esus ferocity for attack speed.
Speed farm status is a bit of a whole class issue unfortunately
Love Ice Shards, been able to clear level 80 pit but its a struggle.
