    Rewritten Place the scorching Fire Bolt within the enchanted confines of the second Slot. This will bestow the power of Burning upon adversaries, igniting them with the intensity of Devouring Blaze and the fiery effects of Paragon.

    Mechanics and Playstyle

    Mastering the ways of the Ice Shards Sorcerer demands adept resource management and the juggling of numerous cooldowns. These frigid projectiles possess an unparalleled might, capable of inflicting devastating blows upon a solitary adversary, while also effortlessly piercing through hordes of foes with the enigmatic Aspect of Piercing Cold.

    Unleashing the chilling power of Frost Nova, one can effortlessly freeze an entire group of adversaries, conjuring a mesmerizing storm of Ice Shards that impale them with an intensified force. This relentless onslaught of penetrating projectiles serves as a formidable weapon against formidable foes, striking them repeatedly in a single devastating blow!

    Unleashing the power of Greater Ice Shards bestows upon you the ability to inflict a staggering 25% surge in damage on those unfortunate Frozen foes, regardless of whether they are formidable bosses who possess immunity to the icy grip of Freeze. A variety of sources can grant you the coveted Barrier, such as the formidable Ice Armor, the steadfast Protection, and the formidable Prime Deep Freeze. To ensure a continuous safeguard, it is crucial to expertly manage your cooldowns and maintain an ever-present Barrier.

    Avalanche stands as the favored choice for Key Passives in this build, as it craves additional firepower to tackle formidable elites and bosses individually. Alternatively, the explosive force of Shatter can swiftly decimate clusters of foes for a more efficient annihilation.

    The enigmatic Frost Nova casts a spell of vulnerability, proving particularly effective against formidable bosses. Moreover, this mystical frost instantly crystallizes entire clusters of adversaries.

    As a final resort, Deep Freeze is harnessed to induce an icebound state, rendering you impervious and granting a protective shield. Non-ultimate abilities experience a 50% reduction in cooldown time, allowing you to swiftly resume your rhythmic sequence. Should the need arise, Deep Freeze can be instantaneously terminated upon activation, resulting in an accelerated cooldown recovery.

    Damage Rotation

    Employ the ensuing rotation to maximize the inflicted damage.

  • (Optional) Harness the power of Teleport to swiftly bridge the distance and strategically position yourself in close proximity to formidable elites.
  • Unleash the power of Frost Nova, causing a bone-chilling freeze to engulf the entire group of foes.
  • Unleash the Fire Barrier and reduce mana costs by a blazing 25%.
  • Unleash a relentless barrage of icy projectiles upon the most formidable adversary.
  • Unleash the power of the Ice Armor to replenish your mana by 25%.
  • (Optional) Unleash the power of Deep Freeze amidst challenging battles to attain invincibility and refresh ability cooldowns.
  • Ensure that you execute the rotation repeatedly, giving ample time for Mana to reach its maximum capacity prior to unleashing the chilling power of Frost Nova.
  • Gear Choice and Stats

    When you venture into the fields with your Ice Shards Sorceress, seize the opportunity to collect any Rare Item drops that could potentially enhance your abilities. Furthermore, store away any Legendary Items that possess valuable attributes in your treasure trove, either to be employed at a later time or to transfer their enchantments onto exceptionally crafted Rare Items.

    Starting Gear Requirements

    Gather the necessary equipment prior to transitioning into the realm of Ice Shards Sorcerer. Delay the switch until you possess a minimum of Sacred Items obtained from World Tier 3, enhanced with an array of mods that offer optimal Cooldown Reduction and Mana Cost Reduction capabilities.

    Opt for a Wand and Focus instead of a Staff to maximize the potential of Cooldown Reduction rolls. The Focus not only possesses an inherent Cooldown Reduction, but it also offers the opportunity for additional affix modifications. Ensure that you obtain a minimum of 25% Cooldown Reduction through both rolls on a Focus, in addition to rolls on the Helm and Amulet, prior to embarking on the construction of your build.

    Enhancing the potency of Ice Shards heavily relies on the valuable attribute known as Mana Cost Reduction. This sought-after stat can be harnessed through various means such as equipping a Focus, Amulet, or a pair of Boots. It is highly recommended to attain a minimum of 25% Mana Cost Reduction before embarking on your chosen build. Moreover, the inclusion of generous amounts of Maximum Mana on Rings and Helmets greatly contributes to efficient resource management. By bolstering your Maximum Mana, you not only ensure a larger pool of magical energy but also unlock the ability to cast spells exceeding the customary 100 Mana threshold, which is especially advantageous for those who embrace the powerful Elemental Aspect of the Elementalist. Additionally, the fortuitous occurrence of landing hits that restore your primary resource when wielding a Focus or donning Gloves provides yet another avenue for generating Mana, further complemented by the chilling winds of the Frigid Breeze.

    Embrace the power of elevated Item Level equipment, as it brings forth enhanced stat attributes. Constantly part ways with antiquated gear and ascend to the Blacksmith’s forge to amplify Item Levels, unlocking new heights of potential.

    Legendary Aspects and Codex of Power

    Enlisted beneath are the ultimate Aspects, deemed unrivaled, residing within the Legendary Items, holding utmost significance for the Ice Shards Sorcerer build. In case the ideal Legendary drops elude your grasp, feel free to employ Aspects sourced from the Codex of Power, albeit with diminished potency. Harness the potential of lower level Legendary Items by extracting their Aspects and imprinting them onto superior Rare Items boasting desired attributes.

    The essence of Piercing Cold forms an integral component of the Ice Shards Sorcerer’s construct, empowering the shards of ice to unleash a barrage of projectiles upon their adversaries. Seek out this formidable aspect within the depths of the Dead Man’s Dredge dungeon, nestled amidst the majestic Fractured Peaks.

    Frostblitz Aspect appears to have a tradeoff disadvantage by extending the Cooldown on Frost Nova, but it unravels an intriguing interaction (perhaps a glitch) with Enhanced Frost Nova. The Cooldown effect mysteriously doubles its impact when you possess 2 maximum charges, resulting in a reduction of Cooldown by 2 seconds per kill, reaching a remarkable total of 8 seconds. This unexpected interplay renders Frostblitz Aspect a valuable choice, contrary to its conventional underutilization.

    Rewrite: If you find yourself grappling with Mana sustain, consider using Prodigy’s Aspect on a Ring instead of Conceited Aspect. However, be aware that this setup sacrifices a 25% separate damage multiplier. To optimize your strategy, prioritize acquiring Mana Cost Reduction and Maximum Mana instead.

    Gear Slot Aspect Name Legendary Aspect Power
    Amulet (+50% bonus effect) Aspect of Control You deal [25 – 35%] more damage to Immobilized, Stunned, or Frozen enemies.
    Wand, Focus, Gloves or Rings Aspect of Piercing Cold Ice Shards pierce 3-4 times, dealing 25% less damage per subsequent enemy hit.
    Wand, Focus, Gloves or Rings Elementalist’s Aspect Core or Mastery Skills cast at or above 100 Mana gain a [20.0 – 40.0%] increased Critical Strike Chance.
    Wand, Focus, Gloves or Rings (optional replacement with Fists of Fate) Aspect of Frozen Memories The Avalanche Key Passive now applies to 1 additional cast.
    Wand, Focus, Gloves or Rings Edgemaster’s Aspect Skills deal up to [10 – 20%] increased damage based on your available Primary Resource when cast, receiving the maximum benefit while you have full Primary Resource.
    Wand, Focus, Gloves or Rings Conceited Aspect Deal [15 – 25%] increased damage while you have a Barrier active.
    Chest (gets replaced by Raiment of the Infinite) Everliving Aspect You take [20 – 25%] less damage from Crowd Controlled or Vulnerable enemies.
    Helm or Pants Aspect of Disobedience You gain [0.25 – 0.50%] increased Armor for 4 seconds when you deal any form of damage, stacking up to [25.00 – 50.00%] .
    Helm or Pants Frostblitz Aspect Frost Nova gains an additional Charge but the Cooldown per Charge is increased by [40 – 30%] .
    Boots Option #1 Aspect of Fortune Your Lucky Hit Chance is increased by [10 – 20%] while you have a Barrier active.
    Boots Option #2 Aspect of Binding Embers Flame Shield lets you move unhindered through enemies. Enemies you move through while Flame Shield is active are Immobilized for [2.0 – 3.0] seconds.

    Unique Items

    Raiment of the Infinite

    The Enigmatic Attire – Once you unleash the power of Teleport, foes in close proximity are irresistibly drawn towards you, becoming ensnared in a state of bewilderment for a fleeting moment of [2 – 3] seconds. However, this awe-inspiring feat demands a price, as the cooldown of Teleport is elongated by 20%.

    The extraordinary Chest Armor seamlessly complements the shotgun build, effortlessly gathering adversaries in close proximity, allowing a relentless flurry of projectiles to pass through the entire group.

    Fists of Fate

    Unleash the Unpredictable – Embark on a thrilling journey where the power of your strikes dances with fate, bestowing upon them the ability to unleash anywhere from a mere 1% to a mind-boggling range of 200% to 300% extra damage.

    Embrace the power of these extraordinary gloves as they bestow upon you a 300% roll, amplifying your might with a remarkable 50% boost in overall damage. Be prepared to sacrifice +4 Ranks from Ice Shards and bid farewell to an Offensive Aspect found in Legendary Gloves. However, fear not, for the fortuitous chance to immobilize your foes can trigger Devouring Blaze and unleash the full potential of Aspect of Control, resulting in even greater devastation.

    Frostburn (Not Recommended)

    Frostburn’s Unique Capability – Serendipitous Strike: An opportunity that ranges from 15% to 25% to encase adversaries in ice for a brief period of 2 seconds.

    Behold, the allure of these Exquisite Gloves may captivate your gaze, yet their utility falls short. Consider instead the Legendary Gloves adorned with a remarkable +4 Ranks to Ice Shards, an Offensive Aspect boasting a distinct damage multiplier, and an overall superiority beyond measure.

    Iceheart Brais (Not Recommended)

    The one-of-a-kind Iceheart Brais possesses a unique quality – Fallen foes encased in ice have a possibility of [11 – 20%] to release a chilling Frost Nova.

    These extraordinary Pants possess the power to immobilize a horde of adversaries for an extended period, yet their utilization is unnecessary for vanquishing foes. Their efficacy does not extend to the transition between groups of enemies. Optimal Legendary Pants adorned with an Aspect outshine them.

    Telestomp Ice Shards Sorcerer Build Variant

    The Telestomp Ice Shards Sorcerer, crafted by the ingenious mind of Lexyu, emerges as a captivating variant build. Its purpose lies in swiftly conquering Normal or Nightmare Dungeons, enabling adventurers to amass greater rewards and experience. Embracing the art of telestomping, this build entails employing Teleport not only as a means of transportation but as a formidable offensive maneuver, unleashing its force upon unsuspecting enemies, ensnaring them within a mesmerizing vortex of ice and rendering them helpless in a stunning display of power.

    In order to embark upon this remarkable journey, one must acquire the elusive Raiment of the Infinite, a one-of-a-kind Chest Armor. This extraordinary piece of equipment can be discovered across the realms of World Tier 3 or 4, albeit with an exceedingly slim probability. Thus, it is imperative to persistently persevere with the initial rendition of the build until the momentous discovery is made.

    Unleash the power of Stun to unlock devastating damage bonuses associated with Crowd Control, liberating yourself from the reliance on Frost Nova’s lengthy Cooldown. Moreover, experience the metamorphosis of Evade into a revamped Teleport that boasts a reduced Cooldown, courtesy of the implicit effect on Boots. Embark on thrilling dungeon expeditions, swiftly traversing through them, while effortlessly incapacitating foes with the mesmerizing Raiment of the Infinite Ice Shards Sorcerer!

    Skill Tree Points for Telestomp Ice Shards Sorcerer

    Adorned in the Garb of Endless Possibilities, the Telestomp Ice Shards Sorcerer orchestrates a transformation within the Skill Tree Points, crafting a swifter and more efficient setup for farming. Extraneous and unnecessary enhancements are expunged from Ice Armor, Flame Shield, and Deep Freeze, allowing an influx of Skill Points to be allocated towards Teleport and Frost Nova, thus reducing their respective Cooldowns.

    Enchantment Slots for Telestomp Ice Shards Sorcerer

    Rewritten The Enchantment Slots now embrace Teleport instead of Ice Shards, allowing for the utilization of the stunning power of the Raiment of the Infinite. When Damage Per Second (DPS) reaches a certain level, there is no longer a need for automatically casted Ice Shards. The replacement of Evade with an extra Teleport brings added advantages when combined with increased ranks in Teleport, Cooldown Reduction, and the effect of Attacks Reduce Evade’s Cooldown on Boots.

    The Enchantment Slot houses the mighty Fire Bolt, while Devouring Blaze and the scorching effects of Paragon take center stage. Alternatively, Ice Shards could be held, yet it would demand significant alterations in the Skill Tree and Paragon.

    Paragon for Telestomp Ice Shards Sorcerer

    Rewritten Once you acquire the Raiment of the Infinite, the stun effects in Paragon come into play. The Ceaseless Conduit is swapped out for the more exciting Static Surge. By stunning nearby enemies, the Legendary Node not only restores 10 Mana but can also completely replenish your Mana pool with a telestomp. In order to make room for Static Surge, the Lucky Hit Chance from the Frigid Fate board is sacrificed.

    Mechanics and Playstyle for Telestomp Ice Shards Sorcerer

    Stun offers a refreshing approach to subduing and controlling hordes of foes, diminishing the reliance on Frost Nova’s icy grip. By telestomping onto enemies, unleashing a whirlwind of stun and chaos, most adversaries succumb to the piercing power of Ice Shards within a mere 1 or 2 casts. Frost Nova, on the other hand, can be saved for the mightier elites and formidable clusters of adversaries.

    Prioritize and frequently utilize the Evade Teleport ability, as its Cooldown can be significantly diminished by the innate impact of the Boots. Each attack executed will diminish Evade’s Cooldown by a duration of 1.2 seconds. To maximize its effectiveness, ensure that the Boots are upgraded a total of five times. In case the Evade Teleport becomes inaccessible, rely on the conventional Teleport located on the Skill Bar as a backup option. Establish a rhythm of engaging enemies from a distance through telestomping, followed by a barrage of Ice Shards, before swiftly moving on to the next group to repeat the process.

    Gear Choices for Telestomp Ice Shards Sorcerer

    The Telestomp variant of Ice Shards Sorcerer largely maintains the majority of its stat priorities. However, there are a few notable distinctions that are outlined in the following section.
