Replace spark with Frostbolt and add ice nova to cast on frost bolts


I'm sorry, maybe my brain is just broken, but how do I make it so ice nova casts when I cast frostbolt? They're both spells and I can only put support gems inside spells.


You don't cast them at the same time. You can cast Ice nova on a frost bolt. So you cast frost bolt first and then hover it while it's moving and you can cast Ice nova by popping the frost bolt!

You have to socket comet in first! Cast on Freeze is simply an aura that will use skills you put in it, you need an active skill in there first which is where Comet comes into play.

Mapping has been absolutely miserable, damage is more than there but defensively i feel like im always 2 hits away from dead

Ranged mobs in particular just wreck me, im having a really bad time in maps because im just clearing full hp and il run into a pack of archers or whatever and get instantly blown up, even with resists each shot chunks me for 300-500 dmg

Its really crazy to me how theres nothing to help you live in the top side of the tree. Not sure how others are faring


It is really painful unfortunately, I'm trying to figure out how to achieve more survivability as I'm going. There isn't much for Sorceress to choose from outside of Mind over Matter which just doesnt work with this build because of the chunks of mana Comet takes, or going CI which is a bit out of the way and requires specific gearing that isn't easy to get. I'm experimenting with putting in Strength nodes where I can to see if I can get away with using Armor + ES pieces to at least get some armor damage reduction.

I think that going for Armor + ES, might be a play here. We have recoup, es, possibly armor in the future. There also a couple of nice nodes that might be useful to the build. Devoted Protector, Relentless Vindicatior and you would path by Resilient Soul

Edit. Nevermind! It's planned in your final tree, my bad!

It's a specific skill granted by a specific base of Staff called Chiming Staff.
I got 2 gemcutters prism and i am really confused is it "good" to do quality on Cast on freeze?
It almost sounds like quality increases the trigger treshold - that would be really bad.


If thats the case you get quality on frostbomb (more exposure) or frostwall (less CD) i guess?

To be honest I'm not exactly sure what quality will do for Cast on Freeze. It's a much safer bet to use it on Frost Bomb, Frost Wall, or Comet
Hi what suuport gem do you place in elemental storm .
I just got cast on freeze. My frostbolt does little damage, so it doesn't even freeze white mobs on one hit. Is that normal? Should I stay away from cast on freeze until my frostbolt does more damage, relative to white mobs?

I do have a +3 staff, so my frostbolt damage [scattershot & glaciation] can't go up easily.
