Hello internet. I’m making a C3 Cryomancer with a crowd-control focus and I’m not sure what I should do with the last couple of points.
I have 5 points to spare and I want to toss them into either Ice Bolt or Ice Pike, both skills I use regularly. Should I just max out Ice Pike for the maximized burst damage, or get Ice Bolt to 6 so it does more than just the 50% freeze chance?
Which would be ore useful at higher levels?
personally I would take off those 1 pts for gust subzero and ice blast, and invest it into ice spike.
Ice blast because lv 1 wont do dmg and unfreeze instead, which is like… an anti skill.
Subzero because I have yet to see a use for it.
Gust because I never found a need to knock mobs away and lv1 gust wont do much dmg.
Imo investin 3 pts into ice bolt isnt gonna make much of a diff, so its better to 14/15 ice spike.
Sad you wont have anything close to spammable tho :(((
I’ve found quite a lot of use for Gust, and Ice Blast is nice for finishing off stuff thats’s frozen after the bigger attacks. Believe, me, simply having Blast, even at 1, gives me far more damage and utility than an additional point in Spike or Bolt.
Haha youre probably right.
As a solo player tho when magic mobs throw trucks at you, I wanna keep them frozen :>
Curious, how much dmg does your ice blast do vs 1-hit from ice spike?
A little over a third of the damage from 1 hit from spike.
yea thats really low comparing to lv11 ice spike : O
wouldnt be fun when mobs start having over 5k hp TT
Well, there IS the 10-level difference. I’d be disappointed if those 10 points weren’t significant.
Hmm, really? I had ice blast at lvl 5, and up to lvl 160 it was always worthless to use.
I’d suggest definitely maxing ice pike and ice bolt. You want ice pike to one-shot anything that’s not plate, and two shot anything that is. Ice Bolt should be 3-shotting mobs at least. Otherwise your cooldowns are used up and you haven’t defeated your mob. Relying on snow rolling to defeat big mobs and then having to wait for it’s cooldown is no good.
In any case, you’re heavily investing in ice wall, so you lose the ability to max out on ice bolt/pike. How are you going to be using ice wall? Some of the same utility can be had with just a lvl 5 ice wall, too.
Oh, I don’t know how I’ll use lv 15 Ice wall yet, Probably to cut off passages and imprison enemies. The whole point is to experiment and discover what can be done with 16 tiles. Remeber, this is more of a support build.
