I was using Deep Freeze with my ice sorceress. If I remember correctly the cool down for that is 60 seconds. I was constantly waiting for cool downs or mana. I added the Fire Wall and Fire Shield and set up the skill tree similar to yours. It's so much better now. Rather than running for my life, I can actually sit back and enjoy the destruction. Great job on the video. The presentation is clear and concise.
The other thing about deep freeze is that it takes about half a second before it actually activates, and when it ends there is about a half second delay where you cannot cast any other abilities. Now imagine you use deep freeze towards the end of a fight against an elite pack and they have exploding stuff on death... and those explosions happen right when your deep freeze ends. It's just a disaster waiting to happen. You can still time it of course and cancel deep freeze early to run away but you'd have to be aware of exactly when the explosion is going to happen. It is such a cool and satisfying ability though I will say that. Good luck with your sorc!
This build has been so insanely good to me that my next goal is to push Tier 100 with it! I hope you enjoy the guide, please stay tuned for part 2 in a day or so!
@@justemy2516 so this will still reduce the incoming damage with crit strikes in any build? ( but only gain additional damage from shock skills ? Or are we relying on teleport as the proc here ? ( Defensive/ Shock)
Thanks for this. Played an arc lash build until level 60 and couldn't clear the capstone. I made this build and just ran laps around Elias and cleared it. Thank you so much!
Can't wait to see the paragon board. I'd been feeling burned out on Ice Shards and all the downtime it has in between big bursts. I like firewall a lot but its a major visibility issue in higher key dungeons. This looks amazing and I can't wait to give it a try.
I'm sure somebody's said it already but you can take firebolt and use it in an enchantment slot.... That sets everything you hit with a mana costing spell on fire. Then you don't need to use the firewall.
@@maugs6185 Oh do you get any form of dmg going? I'm level 72 on HC, got pretty decent gear and aspects and just deal 0 fucking dmg compared to the regular ice shards build
@@OncleJer yeah bro my damage slaps hard easy clears, lots of paragon points into increased damage, increased damage Vs elites and increased damage to burning enemies
This is awesome stuff! I liked the tip about using firebolt as an actual ability. It is a ton of fun! Firewall version is cool too. But for whatever reason I'm having so much fun using firebolt to get enemies burning (while keeping flame shield and frozen orb as enchantments). Learned a lot from this. Thanks!
Love this guide, all detailed and easy to understand you. Learnt heaps. Levelled my Sorc to 50 using chain Lightning/Arc then swapped to your 100 guide. Perfect with my hubbies Druid and just sacred lege gear from hellfires. Lots of fun, love the blizz! Thanks!
Funtastic! We‘ve (wifey & son) tried this yesterday. -6h ~ lvl 56. So far we‘ve cleared Dhomhainne to the last drop and did our first tides. We did some mods for the purpose of lvling, namely instead of Flameshield ench we take maxed Fireballs. It‘s pretty much New Years Eve, mobs pop even beyond the screen once you use uniq frost nova pants. As a trio this just freezes thru content. We‘ve had a blast so far. Gonna drop in on your disc once we hit +75. Thanks 🙏
Was playing arc lash, level 60. Switched to this and did the lvl 70 capstone dungeon in about 2 hours. I was underleveled but the damage carried me through it. Cannot wait to play World tier 4 torment today finally.
Omg I’m glad I ran into this guide! I’ve always been drawn to Frost sorc since D2 and I’m so happy to see a Blizzard build that I can actually follow. I’m even tempted to try going HC (eventually) 😅 I think I’ll tweak some skills on my Electro Frost Sorc to prep for cap dng going into T4. My alt is a lvl 28 Frost Sorc so imma check out your level 30 guide to see what i need to tweak. Thank you so much for this!
Holy cow... A new build that isnt just ice shards,flame wall, or arc lash. Subbed. Keep it coming! Edit: Still waiting on build link :(. I am dying to try this.
Awesome guide. Quick question for you though. If you are playing softcore, what would you suggest to replace the fire shield enchantment? Also, would you suggest shatter over vyrs for softcore? Thanks
This is a true HC build... ive read a few comments and to all making damage suggestions STOP and re watch his video several times. This is about survival 1st... Great Build
I think most of the comments are fair, especially for those of us trying to push nightmare in HC where DPS becomes extremely important, or so I'm learning! Nonetheless thanks for letting people know it is indeed a guide for HC primarily! :D
Looking forward to the build guide. The stats on this build are quite similar to the Arc Lash build. Should make for an easy transition to test it out (minus the painful process of refunding all those paragon points manually)
This buid is insanely good. And it did started my beautiful journey !! I got staff with 2700 icespike dmg later on, combined with +3 devouring blaze and get crit dmg amsp with a little help from fist of the faith glove .. then boom 15m crit
As a bona fide pleb, there is nothing I need in a build more than survivability. Gives me hope that one day I could actually have a deathless playthrough.
I'm working really hard, sorry folks! Just made a major change to my setup (new camera) and my hardware wasn't cooperating! In fact I've had to switch computers, but I'm working every minute to get this done!
So i had been looking for an answer on this and could find one . Enchantments do benefit from the enchancements in the skill tree? And are not just the base version of the skill? Will aspects apply to the enchantments as well?
So I think i heard you say you take enhanced ice shard so that your ice shard can ricoshet. I was under the impression that when ice shard was slotted as enchantment it could not benefit from the enhancements from skill tree . That it would only and always be the base level 1 pt ice shard. And from my own tested i could not tell otherwise. So my question was if it can benefit from enhanced version while used in enchantment slot, can the the enchantment skills also benefit from legendary aspects.
I’m looking to try this build out. I actually just got the unique gloves and the boots you showed. Is there a reason I should not use the gloves? I know a lot of crit as and skill dmg comes from a good rolled glove
I was literally putting this together last night, but couldn't quite pull it off yet due to burning out my mana, so I put the gear pieces key to it back in my storage. Awesome job!
People say, Sorc is underpowered. People say, its the worst class regarding the damage ouput and survivebility. And here you are.... with your HC 100 level. GJ sir. Carry on.
Well it's not just about getting to 100, it's about being able to clear super high tier Nightmare dungeons and possibly uber lillith. Sorcerer really struggle with that endgame content
when i think of blizzard i think of an aoe ability that hits, but blizzard in this game is basically a dot, but it cant scale with dot, its so bloody weird and i canned what i was planning, so im thankful for you to stick with it and make something with it, becuase i loved the idea of blizzards everywhere and then having ice shards just flying at frozen enemies
first of ty sir for not making another meta build i was thinking about this for a while but had no luck finding the blizzard aspect (or mana for cc on enemies) for enchant on sc i would probably go for firebolt instead of flame shield and drop firewall for deepfreeze just for fun (or even blizzard enchant if i'm lazy) also iceheart brais pants for additional frostnovas when frozen enemies die could be good for ice shard enchant while getting barrier from the legendary paragon note for killing frozen enemies there is alot of variety for this build i hope i can try it soon
What about using the snap freeze passive since you have some investment in luck hit? Is it worth? Blizzard does a lot of hits and it should freeze quicker I would think.
I'm also under the impression they can't otherwise it'd be Avalanche procs all day long! And yeah, Temerity with Lucky Hit Barriers + Fists of Fate is just crazy, imo!
Ive been searching for the glacial aspect for days, any tips on where this drops from? Any shortcut or higher chances/ better grind spot? Thanks in advance
Question, why you have the firewall assigned here in the video but not in the build page? I’m getting confused on which skills to assign. Thanks for the build.
Waiting for that D4Builder planner like…….. seriously though, this is a sick build and the first blizzard build I’ve seen that made me wanna change. Thanks and also great explanation!
I ❤this build so much and I dont even play sorc lmao, def checking out the twitch stream. Soon as I complete the game on my Necro, ima work on trying this build this looks awesome man keep up the great work !
If you have to choose between Fists of Fate and [+4 ice shards, crit chance, attack speed, lucky hit] Gloves. Also for Esu's Heirloom and [+4 frost nova, +4 teleport, move speed, resource cost] Boots which one would you pick on both?
Thank you a lot for sharing your build and useful information. Please let me know which build you used for leveling and collecting all these aspects and gear together? I am 37 lvl and struggling while leveling on tier 2, for ice shards I don't have enough mana and firewall is way too slow and boring...
is there a way to use this build really well while also using a staff instead of the 1H and offhand weapons? Every build I find for ice recommends the two weapons, none use the staff and it makes me sad, I have an amazing staff and just.... it will kill me if it's just never good to use a staff endgame, that would really suck
Yeah, later on in Nightmare I go staff as my damage starts lacking; sadly due to the loss of my characterI have to redo it all so an updated videon it will wait.
@@sevens1ns I do have another question and I apologize if this seems stupid, but do you have any tips on how to beat the butcher with this particular build? I have nearly everything, though I have been having immense trouble getting the glacial offensive aspect, but for the life of me I just can't beat the butcher when I am in world tier 4. regular mobs are pretty okay to beat, the bigger the crowd, the better; but the butcher or 1v1 fights with bosses in dungeons is a real pain, especially in tier 28+ nightmare dungeons and I think I need help with it T-T any advice at all would be much appreciated. my character is currently level 82. I would share screenshots of the equipment I have but I cannot here, unfortunately
im level 48 and without any of the special armor you mentioned but is this viable to run prior to getting all of the special armor ? I understand I should speck into protection until then but would you recommend starting with this build at level 48 ?
Thank you, i desperately needed blizzard build !!! Ice shards is really op, but not flashy enough for me and honestly, not fun, feels like a base skill.
Why would you want to have firewall? Check the fire bolt enchantment. It adds burning to all of your skills including blizzard and ice spikes and therefore works with devouring blaze.
Great guide, including the part 2 paragon board. But damn bro, I'm just not getting unique drops lately. At level 50 I was stacking them up, even selling the dupes. but now that I need higher level gear they're nowhere to be seen.
How would this build perform against the echo of Lilith do you think? I'm super keen to try this out on my sorc now!!! Have tried a few variations of Arc Lash\Chain lightning but can't get those to work
Thanks for your comment! I have no idea about the Echo of Lilith, I've been doing everything blind and after hitting 100 I just spent 20+ hours creating this video (and the part 2!) For my next stop I'll be pursuing Tier 100 and I guess Lilith fits the bill there too; once I gather enough courage to face off against her on HC :P
What’s up with Storm swell aspect? It’s X.X% damage (x) bucket but it requires a barrier and vulnerability. Rather than the other aspect that increases X.X% damage (x) bucket but only requires barrier and has better damage rolls in general. What’s up with that?
I'll post builds tomorrow with the 2nd part! For softcore all I'd change is Flame Shield for a Fire Bolt enchant, then you can replace Fire Wall with something else too! I'd probably pick Inferno!
Since most of us doesnt play hardcore, i guess we could replace fireshield passive by firebolt passive so we always have the fire dot, and so the boost of damage ?
whats your reason for not taking the last talent for ice shards? seems like a waste to me since both of these are extremely strong especially for just one talent point
Hello, the build is great vs trash mobs and elites, however I am experiencing lots of downtime or low mana vs Bosses/when I have to single target damage. How are you doing? I wonder if I am doing something wrong...
Pretty sure it works! All damage gets amplified if it meets the conditions; Ice Spikes is no different; I've many recorded Ice Spikes crits for crazy numbers.
I got stuck at lvl 65 on my arc lash sorceress trying to do the capstone. This gives me a path forward - much appreciated!
I keep coming back to this guide. Simply masterful.
I was using Deep Freeze with my ice sorceress. If I remember correctly the cool down for that is 60 seconds. I was constantly waiting for cool downs or mana.

And here you are.... with your HC 100 level.
GJ sir.
Carry on.
Well it's not just about getting to 100, it's about being able to clear super high tier Nightmare dungeons and possibly uber lillith. Sorcerer really struggle with that endgame content
How many blizzards stack on each other before it doesnt increase the damage anymore? For example if i caat 2 blizzards does it do 2x damage?
As many as you've mana to cast!

also iceheart brais pants for additional frostnovas when frozen enemies die could be good for ice shard enchant while getting barrier from the legendary paragon note for killing frozen enemies
there is alot of variety for this build i hope i can try it soon
Thanks for your input! Yeah the build has no boundaries really, there's so much synergy with other skills I think there's a lot more to be discovered!
Damn I haven't seen one like this. Bad ass build dude.
Thanks for your kind words :D
What about using the snap freeze passive since you have some investment in luck hit? Is it worth? Blizzard does a lot of hits and it should freeze quicker I would think.
I'm thinking of using it again once my current Sorc hits higher levels; I'll most likely touch on it in the video that'll be an update to the guide!
1:58 does maxing out the skill do more damage even if it’s an enchantment?
Can ice spikes proc lucky hit? I was under the impression they can't. I'm assuming you are pushing LH so hard because of temerity?
I'm also under the impression they can't otherwise it'd be Avalanche procs all day long! And yeah, Temerity with Lucky Hit Barriers + Fists of Fate is just crazy, imo!
Ive been searching for the glacial aspect for days, any tips on where this drops from? Any shortcut or higher chances/ better grind spot? Thanks in advance
Great walkthrough. But what is the reason you haven't upgraded your potion yet, at level 100?
nicely fined tuned build. will def build towards this!
got this up and running. Extremly fun, just switch out firewall for fireball enchantment for more dpscux im not on HC :)

What’s up with Storm swell aspect? It’s X.X% damage (x) bucket but it requires a barrier and vulnerability. Rather than the other aspect that increases X.X% damage (x) bucket but only requires barrier and has better damage rolls in general. What’s up with that?
Love this build, thanks @SevenSins!
Any way you can post a link to the build somewhere? How would you change this for softcore?
I'll post builds tomorrow with the 2nd part! For softcore all I'd change is Flame Shield for a Fire Bolt enchant, then you can replace Fire Wall with something else too! I'd probably pick Inferno!
Can you Uberlilith with it like broken Barbs,Druids or Rogues?
On my to-do list, so TBA!
I'm only lvl 55, can I start this build or should I wait to higher up with better gears?
Since most of us doesnt play hardcore, i guess we could replace fireshield passive by firebolt passive so we always have the fire dot, and so the boost of damage ?
Yeah pretty much!
whats your reason for not taking the last talent for ice shards? seems like a waste to me since both of these are extremely strong especially for just one talent point
Hello, the build is great vs trash mobs and elites, however I am experiencing lots of downtime or low mana vs Bosses/when I have to single target damage. How are you doing? I wonder if I am doing something wrong...
Which damage modifiers work with Ice Spikes?
Last I tested, it did not benefit from chill/frozen/while healthy damage modifiers.
Pretty sure it works! All damage gets amplified if it meets the conditions; Ice Spikes is no different; I've many recorded Ice Spikes crits for crazy numbers.
Ty Seven!
