for some odd reason my cold snap is not bypassing the cooldown.
edit: only reason i can think of why it's not working is because i got my voll's before it was changed. If that's the case it sucks. If that's not the case then i have no idea what's going on. edit2: i guess i does work although it could use a fix. when i use the skill it goes on cooldown, if i have charges during that cooldown i can still spam the skill even though the icon show the skill is recharging.

The reason I assume it still shows the cooldown even with charges is so that you are still having the spell cooldown normally that way you know when you can cast without expending a charge.

"bypass" does not mean "remove", it means "get around". The skill has a cooldown, and while it's on cooldown you can still use it (bypassing the cooldown that would usually prevent you from using it) by expending a charge. That has no effect on the fact the skill still is on cooldown, just that that cast ignores the fact.

My google-fu is weak..
Would a Spell Totem casting Cold Snap consume power charges from the player when trying to recast to avoid the cooldown? | |
|
So is this skill still viable using Voll's and possibly Taryn's?
Been thinking of making a Cold Snap build but was curious if the damage was going to be good enough. |

" FYI: With 7 charges, my coldsnap's dps is 7,393 with cs + cp + ac (all level 18 gems, including cp in the calculation). Without charges, its dps is 5,794. With 7 charges and crit frask, first two cold snaps' average dps is around 13,489 (assuming crit chance were 100%). Not so good, not so bad. For maps, you would need around 9,000 dps when with 7 charges. 7,393 is not enough. |

I miss this skill without the cooldown

Just FYI, Cold Snap is a utility spell, not a DPS spell, and it is amazing. Increased Area of Effect, Cold Piercing, Elemental Proliferation = huge groups of mobs frozen. I use it with Ice Spear + Power Charge on Critical to keep 7 power charges up all the time; basically I can't die, because mobs don't fight back -
At all. | |
