SUMMARY:

This is a Hybrid variation from the standard DMO Frozen Orb build which adds channeling Disintegrate combined with free casts of Frozen Orb to the mix to obliterate anything in your path. This build shines with long corridor type maps and bowling down trash. Area splash dmg from Frozen Orb is amazingly effective. Currently using as a fun alternative while farming.

GEAR:

ARMOR - 6-piece DMO set Slow Time centric dmg reduction + dmg boost

JEWELRY - Endless Walk set dmg boost (standing still) + dmg reduction (moving)

JEWELRY - CoE (rotating elemental dmg boost) + Halo of Karini (Storm Armor dmg reduction)

BRACER - Ashnagarr's Blood Bracers (dmg reduction boost to shields)

BELT - Hergbrash's Binding (RCR Disintegrate channeling)

WEAPON / OFF-HAND - Unstable Scepter (dmg boost to Frozen Orb) + Triumvirate (dmg boost to Frozen Orb via 3x Magic Missile)

Off-HAND - Etched Sigil (dmg boost to Frozen Orb + free cast of Frozen Orb when channeling Disintegrate)

SKILLS:

Magic Missile Glacial Spike (freeze / dmg enemies + AP regen+ 3x increases Frozen Orb dmg via Triumvirate + DMO+Taeguk+Zei's dmg)

Disintegrate Convergence (channeling fire dmg + Taeguk+Zei's dmg + free Frozen Orb spam via Etched Sigil )

Teleport Calamity (mobility + stun on landing + BotT dmg)

Arcane Orb Frozen Orb (primary dmg dealer + 2 types dmg : Manual Cast (DMO+UnstableSepter+Triumvirate+Taeguk+Zei's dmg) and Auto Cast (Unstable Septer+Triumvirate+Taeguk+Zei's dmg) + Slow Time CDR

Storm Armor Power of the Storm (Dmg reduction via Karini ring)

Slow Time Time Shell (Slow TIme CDR + slow CC + Frozen Orb dmg boost via DMO)

PASSIVES:

Astral Presence - Arcane Power increase + regen for Disintegrate + Frozen Orb casts

Unraveling Will - Armor, AR, dmg boost standing still

Power Hungry - Dmg boost for enemies 30+ yrds away + Zei's dmg

Galvanizing Ward - Dmg reduction boosted by Ashngarr's Blood Bracers

GEMS:

BotT - dmg boost from CC slow/freeze/stun

Taeguk - dmg boost from channeling Disintegrate

Zei's - dmg boost based on max distance from target (match with Frozen Orb distance explosion)

Helm - Amethyst; Chest/Pants - Topaz

PLAY-STYLE:

Teleport around to find crowds and density

Magic Missile at least 3x to freeze + get Triumvirate dmg boost active

Slow Time over highest density or boss to activate DMO dmg boost + slow

Disintegrate into crowd (with free Frozen Orb casts) to start clear

Frozen Orb a few times to finish off targets + reset Slow Time CDR (no need to spam anymore)

Rinse repeat

NOTES:

DMO dmg boost works with Magic Missile and MANUAL cast of Frozen Orb

DMG REDUCTION from DMO Slow Time + Ashnagarr's Blood Bracers Shields + Mantle of Channeling Disintegrate + Unraveling Will + Taeguk armor boost (standing still) + Endless Walk (moving) + Karini / Storm Armor shock

Channeling Disintegrate also casts Frozen Orb every second like a machine gun via Etched Sigil (without casting Frozen Orb manually can be done infinitely without running out of Arcane Power ! ) ... like a mini Archon

Equip best rolled items and cube the alternatives

Gear int rolls can be replaced as recommended (if higher paragon) only.

UPDATE:

Disintegrate+(free cast of Frozen Orb) seems to be boosted by both DMO Slow Time active and additional dmg from Unstable Septer+Triumvirate+Taeguk+Zei's dmg !!! Without either of them active, channeling dmg is minimal.
