[3.0] Cold Magician - Totem Vortex (theorycrafting) Please comment!

Hey guys! The build is kind of hard to run and to level with.

You have to get some gear before it runs smooth and fast.

I tried with Carcass Jack and a different tree, so the AOE is big enough for pack clearing with a single totem.

I switched from Templar to Scion (dual totem) for a lot more DPS (with crit nodes shadow side).

I don't have time to put four totems while mapping.

But even with good and expensive gear, the DPS is like.. meh. 84k DPS and 16k DoT.

It can do T15 maps with good gears, it freezes everything with massive crit and high cold damage.

That's NOT a starter league build. I might try it on Harbinger League, but with good currencies, for fun! I just like to freeze everything and hear the sound of my enemies shatter.

Thanks!

Same here .. among the classic spellcasting stereotype mages, I always lvoed ice the most ... it's just way more fun to see things freeze than burn. And I love vortexes aniamtion.

I'd be nice to have a 3.0 build that can make it into the T15s.
