coldsnap is not a mainskill.
whats fun using a low damage CC skill as mainskill?

I'd like to know what you're smoking, man.

Cold Snap has 336.5 DPS, unmodified, at level 20.

By contrast, Freezing Pulse has 227.5 DPS at the same level, Ice Nova has 207.5 DPS, full stage Incinerate has 340 DPS and Lightning Trap has 270.5.

Cold Snap was so strong that they had to put a cooldown on it to balance it. 40% chance to freeze, not including crit? With Taryn's Shiver that's a 40% chance to inflict a PARTYWIDE 20% damage buff.

There are lots of ways to buff Cold Snap builds. Those Freezing Pulse character builds? Give them a Geofri's Baptism for weapon swap to build charges, then have them spam Cold Snap instead.

i smoke weed, man.
can you link a cold snap build where someone kills a high level boss with it?
or any end game vid where it is used as mainskill and not for CC?
i was not aware of this skill can do some serious damage as you claim.

Freeze pulse and incinerate can be multiplied by LMP/GMP, which makes the damage far more.

the only reason you use cold snap is to freeze stuff with ele prolif. other skills can do alot more damage.

Actually, before the introduction of this ring it hasn't really been possible to make a proper cold snap build, at least in my opinion, since even if you achieve 95% crit and use a way to generate power charges on crit, you would still sometimes end with your cold snap on cooldown. With this ring you can cast Cold Snap indefinitely, as long as you, as you should, hit something with the spell.

Surely we must also take into consideration that Cold Snap can be supported by concentrated effect and is able to hit multiple enemies given it's AOE nature.

not really, GMP at lvl 1 multiplies the damage by 2.5 if you hit a mob with all 5 projectiles, conc effect does maybe 1.7 at lvl 20. and Incinerate + freeze pulse have the same if not better aoe, especially if you have faster projectiles on your wand and cold snap is using conc effect.

With gpm freeze pulser you have to be in melee range to achieve that while with coldsnap you can use it from far far away it doesnt have range so you play way safer plus cold snap has mega huge freeze chance and duration. Id take coldsnap with that ring anyday over freezepulse, the cc alone makes it very powerfull for solo play, in parties on the other hand it doesnt last that long.

Im not sure you have even tested the skills before posting this and I recommend you go do it. Also as

Cold snap got a pretty small area effect at 16 and if you link it to con effect its so small, you will need inc aoe as well to make in somehow good for area dmg.

Cold snap will never get close to the dmg/area of quality freezing pulse since cold snap also cast 30% slower.

Im sure we will se some cold snap builds and they might be good in parties for CC/dmg but for solo play I dont think so unless you want to go slow or is summoner.
