2)Flat damage in the game is IMO the greatest source of DPS. You see it in the gear written as "Add # to # Cold damage". It is a base damage that multiplies with your % damage taken in your build. For instance, the Winter Orb gems deals (23-258) to (28-322) Cold Damage. But if you have a dagger that reads "Add 30 to 70 Cold damage to spells", your Winter Orb deals now 53 to 392 cold damage minimum. It is super important because it multiplies with all the % that you take on your tree and gear.

3) So yeah, try to pick flat cold damage first, then crit multiplier or cold damage %

Complete noob here, but I'm wondering why were putting skill points into crit, then linking controlled destruction support with winter orb; am I missing something?

controled destro only redcued "crit rateing" with 100% so you can still bypass that with enough crit since it does give alot of dmg
