Ice spells for Sorc are SUPER clunky

Any spell worth using is hard to use, except Ice Wall. I think that's the ONLY ice spell that isn't clunky as hell. All the ones that aren't clunky are a huge waste of time to use. You can cast say frost bolt about 30 times and it still doesn't even remotely match a single comet. Even if you use ice snap on it, it is still not even close. Eye of winter, it obviously does SOMETHING but damage? It required level 13 to use this? There is no reason to use it, at all. You may as well throw a napkin at the enemy. Something needs to be fixed or changed here.

I agree completely, but I suspect it's not just an ice spell problem. I enjoyed the frostbolt and ice nova interaction early game when they still killed stuff, but once the enemies started turning into bullet sponges it felt pretty awful, and the only real alternative is winter orb which is just as bad but in a different way.

I suspect part of the problem is how poor our options are for support gems.

Possibly the support gems but I have to disagree. The beginner spells for ice, I used them as supplement rather than main attacks. I was using srs and fire wall for half of my damage. The only time stuff started to change was ice wall then a big change was comet. It doesnt feel like its going to get any better from here tbh.
