Hi,
i have a question regarding boss damage.

I can see you are using both frostbomb and lightning spire trap together with icicle mine.

But what about using a 4 link setup with pyroclast mine for boss instead, how do you think that would work??

so here is the thing, you would want something that you can cast then leave it there, like lightning spire trap or flamethrower trap, something like that, but pyroclast mines isn't, it requires to throw mines then cast just like icicles, so the 4l setup is not suitable except for early bossing damage.

frost bomb is just to reduce their resistance and trigger arcane surge to increase damage, lightning spire trap can damage enemies while i spam my icicle mine. So kinda like together, but it gives me some damage boost for a short period of time to kill em.

Can this build easily transition into Glacial Cascade mines if it turns out the boss damage doesn't cut it? If so, what would change in the passive tree to optimize for Glacial Cascade
