I, like so many others, played a CM Wiz for the higher difficulties Pre-2.0 patch. I also, like so many others, have been rocking the Electrocute/Frozen Orb build post-2.0 patch. After all it is just so good!! Recently though on my grind to my goal of paragon 200 before RoS drops, I have become bored with my 2 button rotation. So, while taking advantage of the broken servers last night (once you actually got in a game you didn't leave until you were completely done killing as much as you can!) I started playing around with other builds. I finally made myself drop those three buffs that I only hit once every game. Instead I started focusing on trying to "support" my bud who was in the game with me. The following result is "Cold Death"!
Un-buffed I have 179k DMG and 825k Toughness so my gear isn't great and this build clears T4 no problem. Just don't stand in crap on the ground really long and your good! It's not a full perma-freeze like CM was but it does have a decent up-time on the Freezes and who knows, maybe with more AS it might get very close! I will work on getting a video up for you guys soon!
Please feel free to leave any comments, nasty or not, on the build. I personally love it but there might be changes that could be made that could make it better that I just don't see!
Awesome, I liked the build, and thanks for showing it in T4. But I am quite curious what roll you had on that leg. belt
A question though, I feel LoH is quite bad on my wizard, and really awesome on my Monk. How much LoH would you recommend is needed for this build on T2/T3? How much LoH do you have?
With paragon I have about 1700 LoH. And honestly, I am still working out if the LoH is worth it or not. What I do know is that when meteor hits large packs I most of the time hit full HP from maybe half HP. I still haven't put the testing in to see if I am just getting multiple HP Orbs since i am in melee range or if it is my LoH.
The belt was awful. So bad that I ended up Brimstoning it and I don't remember the stats haha. Thanks for the response. I also meant to put in that you can also change out Familiar out with Magic Weapon with the Force weapon if you would rather the extra DPS over the extra chance at freezing.

Edit: Here's a video with a quick display of the build. It's not alot of detail and I will go more in depth later. This is just so you can see it in action.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up8QNC_VA5s&feature=youtu.be
