Im not 100% but I believe the 100% increased buff effect for herald of ice is better then the extra % damage. I was using that for awhile before switching to a cast speed ES ring.
What catalysts should I be using?
Arcane surge at a level where we get it every cast. what do you mean by that?

Level of arcane surge determines how much mana you have to spend to get it

Line it up with frostbolt mana cost

Since I was already at 10k ES and 42k Armour without the clarity watcheyes I decided to go a diffrent direction. Good damage roll. I confirmed with the boot enchant i can support the mana fine. The sustain is bananas and since i can run a low level precision on mana and dont need the clarity gem it also gives flask sustain.



Edit: One quick update after another test. I dont think I am ever gonna die again. Can facetank shaper beams off the ES on hit and I can stand in darkness and let mobs hit me and my ES doesnt start going down until 200+ darkness stacks ant depth 238.

What gem to change for Awakened Added Cold Damage Support?

Change hyphotermia for awakened added cold damage
I may be missing some finer detail, but what benefit does intensify do for Vaal Ice Nova? The description of intensify says it doesn't work on vaal skills and I see no DPS change on the tooltip with 4 stacks.

I just bought it and for delve it seems to be amazing, but for single target boss survivability, I feel much squishier :/

You can look up my guy, do you think there's something I'm doing wrong? I got a nice amount of cast speed and yet it doesn't feel like it's leeching fast enough.

It doesn't work for Vaal Ice nova, it works for Ice nova, which is contained within Vaal Ice Nova :)

I tested with a normal ice nova and it also didn't show up on the tooltip oddly enough, I think the +DMG only appears while intensified.
