Fathom+Nightwings would increase that DPS by over 30%, not to mention I didn’t see any facets. Could it be that pumping cold damage to the max would actually skew this message? Could it be that the skill would absolutely destroy so better not show that? His message seems to be that FO wouldn’t be OP with 0 cooldown. With true GG gear and high level you will be getting something like -180-190 cold pierce with maxed Blizzard and FO, full Ice Blast and Ice Bolt and anywhere between 15-17 hard points in Glacial Spike - so your Blizzard will be close to fully developed as well.Īs for the linked video by Dbrunski - with all due respect to him, he even says it there “now this isn’t a Death’s Fathom test…” - ask yourself why not? Why in a SP video with modified FO wouldn’t he use Death’s Fathom and Nightwing’s Veil? Why is he putting Full Tal’s as the “GG” option? Then the rest goes into Glacial Spike.Ĭall to Arms helps immensely, not only boosting your basic damage but also the pierce by another 5% You will want to max Blizzard, Ice Bolt, Ice Blast, Frozen Orb and then put points into Cold Mastery (as much as you want and are comfortable with, though I’d say go for a solid 160-170 pierce in the beginning). Now as for the skill points - depending on the level and gear, you lose more or barely anything at all. You will be maxing your skills until the end so the more you level, the more powerful Blizzard/FO will be. around 1.4k damage per shard (pre Cold Mastery).
To answer OP’s question: for P8 Frozen Orb starts to really shine when it’s about maxed, ie. Ice Blast offers very high single target damage and freezes but it doesn’t go through the target and this is where FO shines. In my experience, Blizzard + FO yields faster clearing speeds because FO is an AOE, it goes through enemies and because of that it helps getting those that are not hit by Blizzard by either slowing them down so they don’t escape or flat out killing them. So the true question is actually Blizzard + Ice Blast/GS vs. Frozen Orb because they no longer share cooldown. First of all, as some people correctly said, the question stopped being Blizzard vs.
