LootCubeFrozen Orb Sorceress
A pure cold build centered around Frozen Orb. The orb flies forward spraying ice bolts in all directions, dealing massive cold damage in a wide area. Simpler and more active than Blizzard, with instant damage and kiting-friendly mechanics. Perfect ladder starter.
Play Style
Teleport near monster packs, cast Frozen Orb aimed through the center of the pack. The orb flies forward spraying ice bolts — enemies hit by both the orb and bolts take maximum damage. Static Field bosses to 50%, then Orb + Ice Blast spam. Kite backwards while casting for safety.
Pros
- +Instant damage — no casting delay like Blizzard
- +Full synergy investment = stronger single-element than Meteorb
- +Excellent kiting — cast Orb while running away
- +Very low gear requirements for Hell farming
Cons
- -Cold Immunes are a hard wall without Infinity
- -Lower total DPS than Blizzard against stationary targets
- -Orb direction matters — need to aim correctly for max damage
- -Falls off in late endgame compared to Lightning/Blizzard
