T16 Lvl 88 damage still feels weak :(

Survavility is great tho

Spoiler

A 6L will vastly improve your DPS :)

That said, this is not a super high DPS build (even if there is potential for it). But it's the consistency of DoT DPS, good to excellent defense, and superb maneuverability that makes Vortex a strong bossing build.

Hi,
To start off, nice build guide - probably one of the better ones out there!

Any thoughts on picking up the Arcane Surge node, right under Sovereignty, up from Overcharge (left side of the tree), until I get a body armor with lvl.1 Arcane Surge?

just link it with flame dash. just make sure to keep the level down to match mana cost for 1 cast

Would there be any way to make this work with Arctic Breath instead of Vortex? Seems like the only Ice build around aside from WO, and I love Cold Snap, but no other builds seem to make use of it, either.

I mean, it would technically work, but it's just not as strong a Vortex. Also not instant cast. I think you would have to build around its projectile tag more to be honest. Personally I always use Cold Snap as my primary clearing Skill and vortex for tougher mobs and bosses.

I think my problem with Vortex is that it's not castable away from you, without the need for Frostbolt spam. If it were, I might like it more...

Hm, you may be right about the projectile bit. Maybe it is too much to try and build Cold Snap into anything BUT Vortex...

Can always try that new ring that makes nova skills target a location. Not sure if that works with Vortex or not though.

Edit: Checked wiki, Vortex counts. It's Astral Projector Topaz Ring. Would be an interesting way to play it.

Huh... I didn't think it would work for Vortex, but hey, maybe it will be worth trying. Guess I'll give it a shot and see what comes of it!

Do you think a Carcass Jack could be a good fit for the body armour, or a rare with good stats is better?

Hey, so the only 2 things I need to run ele reflect maps are "ash, frost, and storm" passive node and "soul of yugol" pantheon?

Sorry if you already answered.

NP! Actually in 3.9 you can use a Sybyl's Ring and Sould of yugul for 100% reflect immunity. The aforementioned method is only 45% but is typically enough to be fine as long as you're careful about your skill placement.

I would label Carcass Jack as "fine" if you have it already, but a rare is far superior.
