The state of cold sorcerer skills

The only useful skill is comet. Period. All other cold sorc skills are trash

That being said, I don't want to be locked into comet because I don't like not being able to move for two whole business days, which is the time comet takes to cast.

(Also why the hell does comet on CoF need 300 energy? It should be 200)

Please buff the other cold skills, and add a decent single-target skill comparable to Arc or Ember Fusillade.

Also add an equivalent of Archmage for fire and cold. Thank you

Yeah I agree. I started playing a sorc alt with the idea of being an ice mage. But I quickly realized the cold skills were trash compared to lightning and gave up. Didn't want to become another spark meta build.

You can thank the CoF abusers and expect more in the future. Nerfing anything abused by sweats long before you get to it is the modus operandi of this series.

If they want to nerf then go ahead and nerf. But the math literally does not add up. It says 10 energy per 0.1 cast time and comet takes 2s to cast. That should be 200 energy. Nope. It's 300 energy in the game
There is a 10 comet per second build from barrier invocation and spamming infernalist mana replacement node to rapidly damage yourself and trigger comets. Such things always make me chuckle at the designers here who overlook such silly interactions like junior coders:)

But yeah, at the beginning of EA I spent a lot of effort studying ice spells and they are "not allowed" in poe fashion. Instead of buffing underperforming spells ggg consecutively nerfed trigger gems and freeze...
