[1.3] The Return of the Frozen Orb Sorc | Budget Three Dragons Ball Lightning Freezer

Just get back into the game since march, i guess a lot have changed in 4 mounths, sad to see this build dying. Have you any idea how to get it back viable ?

Did you try the new unique "Call of the Brotherhood"?

Hi Kelemn,

Call of the Brotherhood together with 3D would make things worse not better I presume. You'd loose 50% of damage you would need to freeze stuff with lightning and the only thing cold damage could do with 3D is ignite which we don't need in this build.

The "problem" is that they changed the status ailment duration formula with 2.0.0 - it requires waaay more damage to keep a high HP mob frozen. Whereas in 1.3.0 you only needed to crit or proc a freeze and get at least a 300 ms freeze (and ball lightning ticking so often that they were perma-frozen) you will now rarely, very rarely freeze mobs at all.

I can't think of a way of reviving this build. Would make much more sense to play it without Three Dragons as a "normal" crit ball lightning build...

very sad the new update wrecked this build. this was by far the most fun and satisfying build.
hope you make more builds in there future!

Hey, I haven't played in forever but I am curious as to wether anyone thinks this build can be brought back with the upcoming Ascendency expansion!
