This is my first season playing sorc, i choose frozen orb kinda at randon and stuck with it when i dropped a sacred unique FWG early from the iron wolves seasonal content and loved it. I rocked that 1 for a while until i found a 925 with perfect roll not GA though. Fractued winter glass is one of my favorite peices of gear in the game its a super fun build

Great guide! Is the guide in the link already up to date with today's patch?

This helped my build thank you

Hey, thanks for the content dude, much appreciated 🙂 I just have a simple question - Does the graphic for Frozen Orb change in any way at rank 10, like it does on Meteor ? Cheers

You can drop some points in resistance here, if you have enough int. for then 2 nodes into not phys dmg. Its a few places in this paragon where you can choose int over dex etc, to get there.

Hi Kelfka, if i still dont have a ring of starless skies, what aspect in a ring can i use instead? I hope you can reply. Thanks bud. Keep the videos coming!

Been playing frozen orb but slowly been saving up and collecting for Mekunas firebolt build and now its being buffed I think I will switch tomorrow. Really hoped they would buff some of the other builds but guess they dont care as long as barb is swinging.

I can now confirm after some research that the maximum you can get on fractured winter glass is +5 conjuration mastery, but for this you need Greater Affix and 3 crit rolls on it. The next best you can get is +4 which comes from a greater affix and one crit roll. On uniques the skill bonus is rounded down and on legendaries it is rounded up. Also on unique the bonus applies to the base score before the greater affix is applied.

Fractured winterglass conj mastery doesnt seem to stack the same as other GAs. Seems to scale from the original 2 with a +1 from the GA; need to hit all 3 masterworking hits to get to 5 :( are you using Avalanche post patch? Im using Esu Ferocity

Have you tested out Storm Swell and Frigid Fate to see if it is still bugged? I know I switched from Storm Swell to Ancient Flame and Esu's Ferocity for the meantime while that is active

Kelfka, tks for this but wouldn't Tal Rasha be a better ring? Also are you playing on Eternal or Season?

I noticed today that the build is before the midsummer patch. Which adjustment do I have to get it all right? I'm new to this kind of things 🙈 I'm great full for the exploration of the build and have been building up the glyphs and so on. Regards

I got a GA to Conjuration Mastery,.i started masterworkimg since i understand it better.i hit it 3/3 times maxed out at 4..it does so much damage with ypir frozen orb. Build

I took off tal’s and started running ret, storm swell, frozen orbit, conceited and shredding. Full vulnerable build. Killing 89 pit boss in one stagger. Not great but for sure the MOST single target I was able to pump out. 102 pit high. Give it a try! Accelerating I feel was less single target when running 2 AS rings. Going to try starless sky on Monday though!!

Nice build! I have a tip to improve your DMG. You can use the tempering of the Rogue to get Vulnerable Dmg or Critical Dmg on your sorc gear. You can replace you close dmg ennemies.

Hey, this probably a newbie question but is Esus only good with fire bolt enchant?

Niceeee. Btw, you forgot to change to P.Topaz in your helmet 😅

Build planner on max roll have items you can select on your char and then you can put (it its not unique) ranks of skills on them. So if you have unique winterglass and wondering when conjuration mastery goes up (I play Fire bolt and Frozen orb sorc) check it out, but just so you know, if you have a unique with rank range between 1-2 and you got a 1, you're not losing out anything. Assuming you max it out and crit, you'll have same end result. For defensive I personally use vyr mastery capstone and now especially with 1.4.3 patch where they buffed aspect that plays around this capstone, it's godly. If you want more defensive, I'd use that. Flame shield is not something you want for frozen orb imo, this build doesn't have the steam to push pit bosses. Im not sure if this build is playable without talrasha and starless sky rings tbh xD They are sort off a must for a sorc to perform.

Do you prefer Emeralds or Sapphires on the wand/dagger & the focus?

shredding blades scales based on your total vulnerable dmg doesnt it? without stacking vuln im not sure its worth but maybe im mistaken.

Would you please break it down like I just started the game. Like more explanation on what is best in slot and specifically what that impacts.

I had a +2 conjuring on the fractured winter glass. I crit on it twice and it stayed at three.

Like someone else said you want multiple buckets to your base dmg multipliers while also maxing out legendary nodes. For instance, frigid fate or icefall requires 300% cold dmg to max it out. After covering all of these boxes i would look into more vuln ontop of crit dmg. Vuln is still very very important. It applies/multiplies after the base dmg multpliers. Then crit dmg kicks in. Or vice versa. Hopefully this helps ppl. Also avoid stacking to much stuff into 1 bucket. Like stunned dmg or damage to burning targets. You want these buckets but you dont want 200% of it ya know. Usually having high vuln mixed with crit dmg is good but honestly go for pure vuln after you cover all of the other buckets from the paragon board/gear.

Is damage to close better than damage to frozen? I run damage to frozen in every gear I can temper into and I hit like 1m to 2m per ball. Crit chance is 51% and crit damage is 1,800%. Will it be better to transition to damage to close?

what happened to the fireball build. did the balls become frozen?

I have a GA on conjuration mastery the fractured winterglass with 2x masterwork 25% and I think conjuration mastery is capped at 4. It went to 4 after the first 25% boost at lvl 4 but was still +4 at lvl 12 after another +25% boost and all the +5% other levels - so should have been atleast +5.

I menaged ot make a paradon that uses all the boards, using 7 glyphs active, i think it is a waste to collect those small bonus around the glyph

focus 3b price starts. And don't we use the ice armor skill? I did everything exactly the same except focus.

Honestly his damage is pretty good. I’m seeing a random 12,332,871 damage at 2:00. Frozen Orbs can only push T115 max. Haven’t seen anybody pushed higher. I’m seeing all these people giving advice on damage bucket and all. Post your Pit clear so we can see. Btw the Pit T115 clear all use Lurkin’s build. He Tempered everything into Damage to Close. Why would someone recommend damage to Distant? If it’s better then again post your Pit clear Video so we all can learn!

Have you updated this build after the mid season patch? Your build link doesn’t match your video…. 🤔

Put in tal rasha and starless put in shatter?

The problem with Frozen Orb is you need the best gear to make it work. And it's super glass cannon. I've been playing the build since the launch of the season and I cannot switch off Frozen Orb restores mana, because I would run out of mana. I don't have perma-Flameshield yet (though I'm close), so I have to spec into damage mitigation a little more. I basically have to run a less glass cannon version. I spec'd really heavily into crit damage and vulnerable damage. I still need a source with a GA cooldown reduction (I bricked THREE SOURCES with that affix and I haven't found another since). Overall the build is fun and I think your build works for you, but I just CANNOT go full glass cannon. But then I'm only looking to push to Pit Tier 100 with the build and defeat all the Tormented bosses (except Lilith - her health pool is SO big). And I STILL haven't seen a version of the build that does good boss damage. I'm trying to build Frozen Orb to do more boss damage. Trying to hot 1000% crit damage and around 800% Vulnerable damage. Also I run Esu's Ferocity and Ancient Flame AND my crit strikes increase my speed. Attack speed (for my build) is king. But everything is so gear dependent. Nice build. Good luck getting to Pit 110.

I doubt starless skies is bnetter than tal rasha, even after the patch fix, but i might be wrong.

What does rhw stars mean?ive been junking all mine

Why u dont change "dmg to close" for "crit strike dmg"?

Somebody made a video. For Unique gear ranks to skills rolls down. To get conjure mastery to 4 you need to hit ALL 3 masterwork upgrades

to get +4 to conjuration mastery you need all 3 crits to land on it, with just 2 it'll still be +3

Haizz, we have to do all of this precisely just to barely reach 110+. Definitely Blizzard needs to buff Soc or give us back 3 enhancement slots. Like the content though

Why aren’t you using tal rashas? Not disagreeing just wondering if you could explain how 60% multiplicative damage isn’t needed here

From were is teleport in ur link u have no points in teleport .Ty

I just sold a GA conjuration mastery winterglass yesterday. Sorry bro!

Resistances are 70%, Max life is 15k, but I still die with 1 hit to the bosses while I have the ice barrier on me. What is the reason ?

The damage is literally insane

why no talrasha ring or starless skies?

Ran this build at lvl 96 … all resistants 70%, armor 9K. of course no big masterworking and not the complete paragon board… dps is so nice! Buuuuut …. im one hit on bosses 😫 Need to get more into this and change build to some defense skills.

this accounts for the upcoming patch?

im still trying to figure out how you have unlimited mana in the video

Would this Build work woth Legacy gear?😊

So about as optimized as you can go then?

I got a GA FW MW12, it's only +5

Any one have Legacy gear?ill buy it its all i use

Ga with 3 crits = 7. My golem mastery started at +3 with ga and i got 3 crits and its 7

Boss fight still giga slow lol it doesnt matter what you do

boyzzz ! the secret in this build is to have a small Int Gem in your Shako :D

i think its no Final form! you can change gem in Shako

what's "ga"?

some guy sold me a GA conjuration winterglass for 50 mil 😅😅

My friend. Two mistakes in paragon board. One being huge, second can be debated. Burning instinct board. It doesn't look like you have damage to elites at all, instead you keep on adding into damage buckets you currently have (burning DMG from glyph, then nodes - get rid of nodes, search for a way to incorporate at least one damage to elites from burning instinct board or ceaseless conduit board, in general minimize the +7% dmg or whatever per 5 dex etc (crit/vuln DMG being exception don't touch that) in order to look for a NEW DMG bucket - elites. It's always better to have additional damage bucket at the cost of 20-30% of what you already have a lot of (again don't touch crit/vuln DMG) I was reviewing my board yesterday and realized I'm at 0% DMG to elites. Now I'm at 96% and yes the damage practically doubled. Also a general note not aimed at you specifically but more to whoever reads it. - don't just blindy copy builds from streamers or sites, use your own head a lil ;) Second mistake that you might debate here Conjurer glyph in the mix. I'm not using the glyph that adds 20% to your conjurations duration as it's 1.2 second more for blades and spear and 2 seconds for hydra. On top of that it's rng based. And additional 1.2 second for rng that has to proc doesn't appeal to me at all. You gameplay showed like 12 stacks top, but without it you can easily get 10-11 too, again. It's rng. I'm just no fan of basing your DMG on that. If damage numbers shown on the left are with this exact setup then you're missing out on a lot of damage my guy. I've got worse gear than you and your top number during the run started with a 5, while I'm getting 7-8 Lack of starless skies is concerning as it's much better than that 10%x / 30%x on your legendary ring, not only because its getting you 40%x more dmg, but because starless skies adds another unique damage bucket - core damage. Sadly the gameplay covered all of your damage buckets so I can't be sure if what I'm saying is right here. Would like to see a screenshot of your buckets tho :) Cheers Edit. I'd also look into close DMG, knowing how it works aka you have to be right in the monsters face to work vs distant - half a feet away, plus damqge distant has higher rolls when tempering than close, I went for distant. Especially when you say that your flame shield doesn't have a 100% uptime , the moment it's down you leave yourself 0 time to dodge being right in front of a mob.

So sad with all the good gears you have you could only do Pit 106 :( sorc needs some love.

"The most expensive item for sorc" ??? Bro, don't tell me you're buying your gear!

imagine not taking points into icy veil.. wtf dude

Y’all be the most. So what? Let the man have fun. It ain’t your gold.

"Look at the cool down" no we cant.... this video is covering it up -_-

Damage is so low ..

Very nice body. 💪
