I recently found Light of Grace which lets Ray of Frost now pierce. I have APoC on my source, and it barely costs any AP to spend. I'm recently playing around with a build, and was wondering why no one is talking about this spell?
My profile, which is still a major work in progress
You're right. I actually re rolled arcane orb on my helm to disintegrate, then back to arcane orb last night and it definitely ate up gold and wasted all my forgotten souls. So I should have already known the answer to my question, but it's always good to talk things over and have confirmation - at least for me. Thanks again for all the replies
Well, my Tal helm has frozen orb and my boots also has frozen orb damage. My legendary bracers have 20% cold damage, and my moonlight ward also has arcane skills increase.
I guess after the nerf it just didn't feel the same for me, which started making me look into more gears and builds. And then having Chantado set, turning out to be lack luster, has kinda made me scramble a little bit recently, trying to sit what works well for me now.
I still have arcane orb stacked. With my magefist, it would be fun to play around with some fire builds - mainly because over 1000 hours on my wizard, I never really did play around with fire builds. It also would be awesome for a cinder coat to drop now.
All in all, the fire animations look splendid and it's a lot of fun, for me, experimenting with some fire stuff.
Some questions to ask, ponder:
Would it be a dumb move to re roll some elemental damage into fire? I.e. my leg bracers have ice - would it be dumb to convert it to fire? Same goes for moonlight ward. Would it be dumb to re roll ML ward to fire damage? Or what about the Azeuwrath weapon? Re roll to fire damage if you find another with socket? Shard of Hate doesn't proc of of fire. Is there another weapon that's optimal for fire?
Anyone get lag when they check the see an items stats that dropped on the floor? Each time I press alt and click on any loot on the ground I instantly lock up for 2-3 seconds. And I like to check items
Got lucky on gambling and got a magefist that enchanted into a decent trifecta. Changed the rune on familiar to the fire one. Also changed frozen orb into fire orb, and was playing with meteor. Still trying things out on lower Torment settings and playing with builds. But the fire build seems really really fun. But it's still just on lower torment.
Makes me want to change my cold elemental gear into fire
My last play session I was using Mirrorball, Shard of Hate/Azewrath, and used MM with the freeze rune and familiar with the freeze rune. I ended up playing with Azewrath more because of this. MM does hit hard for under t3, but t4 MM starts to feel weak for me in a group of 4.
I also decided to swap out my broken crown with ias and crit, along with my witching hour for the Tal pieces.
Thank you guys for the in depth info. I was very lucky to have a friend trade me a Shard of Hate that he found, and as soon as I equipped it I noticed a lot more dps - this being coupled with a rare source. After I found the Chantado set, mind you with a powerful source and weapon, Torment 4 seemed a little bit harder. And for whatever reason felt like I was taking more damage. This is running the primary frozen orb build and my passives are: blur, dominance, unwavering will, and prodigy.
I was a bit heartbroken knowing I found my first set pieces and both rolled with strong affixes, seems to be at first play through a downgrade over my Shard of Hate with rare source.
Another question if you don't mind, why are mirror ball seem to be a sought after source? The magic missile affix doesn't really make me go wow. I do have a Mirrorball, but it looks very lack luster. What am I missing about the Mirrorball?
So I recently got a fairly nice Chantado source from gambling. It has 10% crit, very high min damage - and almost maxed out max damage, 4 arcane crit on power, and a nice chunk of intel. I also have the wand with intel, ias, and socket.
I haven't had much time to practice with it. Before this set I was using Shard of Hate with a rare source (I do have a Mirrorball but it looks stinky).
Why no mention of Chantado set? Is Shard of Hate, thunderfury, or Azewrath all better then Chantado set?
Could we also increase the cap please? That would be wonderful
I don't think you're meant to hoard them though, why would you want to have 500+?
I'm not trying to hoardthem, don't think I am, but for starters a lot of times I hit the cap - don't realize it and then I have to rush to salvage all my items in my inventory and then quickly spend my bloodshards, and quickly salvage the bad items I got. This has happened to me plenty of times. This almost reminds me of having to click craft each time you wanted to craft a better gem. It's just annoying and feels like a chore. Half the time I can't even enjoy the process of gambling. I want to to do it when I want to do it. Not when I reach a small cap of 500. Why have caps when most things don't anyway? (Gold, gems, mats)

Why was Chantado set not mentioned? Also Broken Crown can roll ias and crit. Also Tyraels might Is not bad either.

If you are running some sort of stun lock build and like it, I'd keep the legendary. Either way, you have 2 great pieces to work builds around with
