Generates a wind storm that does slight damage and applies useful debuffs. Instead you’ll want to max the Heart of Frost synergy skill to buff your Ice Shard’s frost damage and also max the Static Charge synergy if you’re planning on using Lightning Bolt (which you should). You also will be using Wisp to buff your damage instead of doing damage itself so not really important there either. You’ll be casting spells instead of attacking so the base skill won’t help you.
Drop only a single point into the base skill. The base skill can be increased afterwords whenever you feel you need to buff the skill’s damage.Īn aura that buffs your attack damage with cold and lightning damage and applies a smaller buff to your pets.
Next max Velocity to give your shards pierce and increase the cold damage and projectile speed. Instead you want to max out it’s Torrent synergy skill ASAP as it will increase the number of Ice Shard’s projectiles turning it into a frontal conal anti-group attack. It will just increase the base damage of the skill. You’ll need to stand still and spam the attack. Run completed with the xMax mod (xmax setting) Not as good for single targets or far off targets.Ice Shard is a very stationary attack, you don’t hit and run, you stand still and spam.Anti-resistance debuffs in Squall for legendary difficulty.My Paladin was built with Atlantis masteries and skills but the expansion should not be required. Defence’s Armor Handling talent helps you get around some of the Strength requirement on armour and shields and with some more from your gear you can get a caster clad in heavy armour. My Paladin build tackled it by making the caster a walking tank who can take a hit while spamming spells. My first was a pure caster Druid (Nature / Storm) build that got around Ice Shard’s range drawback by using Nature’s Briar Ward to shield her from enemy attacks and let her spam Ice Shard without worrying about her paper thin armour getting shredded apart (build for her also on Steam). Ice Shards in the Storm mastery is a pretty powerful option for a pure caster type character, however, it does have the drawback of requiring you to stand still and spam the skill and does its best DPS when enemies are closer to you.Īrthas is my second Ice Sharder.
This a build for a playing an armoured Ice Shard caster.
