Skill Reveal - Frostbolt and Vortex

Woooo!

This is really neat, I'm loving the push for a more multi-skill focused builds! I'm thinking about making a build that can play slow and casual, using blasphemy+temp chains and double singularity! Slow the screen to a crawl, drop vortexes everywhere.

Well b/c now you can hard cast vertex + ice nova without frostbolt for one. Could be quite strong with a tanky blasphemy-using character.

I just played tri-curse blasphemy ice storm in perandus and it was both good and fun, I'm imagining vertex and ice nova could go over just as well, but with less range and more tankiness.

Dont like the frostbolt. Why make short range spells into long range ones? Why play classic ice nova while you can now play it without getting hit? :V

Yeah but reflect makes any elemental build with decent damage un-fun to play.

Every build I made in this game has been designed to work around reflect, kinda sad that this one mechanic ruins so many fun aspects of the game and forces you into so many cookie-cutter decisions. Not everyone likes tanks, glass cannon builds have their own innate risks, reflect is just unnecessary.

Question Time!

Can you stick Ice Nova or Vortex on a totem and get the same effect OR vice versa? Or is it only when you cast the skills manually?

plz answer GGG?

Why would you use Vortex+Ice Nova? They basically do the same thing, and can't be used simultaneously.. It's a waste of Links.

Doesn't look like a laggy fkn nightmare at all

Will these skills work with cast on crit ? CoC spectral throw, or CoC barrage for example, or with CoC cyclone ?

Even LESS friends I can't party with because they can't handle the [cold damage] effects.. And I thought Ice Trap and Frost Bomb were bad.. xD
