Overview
Daniel outlines a frost-focused Sorcerer hybrid leveling build for levels 1 to 50 in Season of the Malignant, utilizing Frost Bolts, Ice Shards, Frost Nova, Ice Armor, Teleport, and Unstable Currents to balance damage output, protection, and survivability.
The build utilizes a combat routine of grouping targets, freezing them with Frost Nova, attacking with Frost Bolts and ricocheting Ice Shards, shielding with Ice Armor, and using Teleport to evade hazards.
Unstable Currents provides a 25% attack speed increase along with random lightning abilities, while the Shatter key passive causes 25% explosion damage upon frozen enemy deaths.
Skill points focus on Frostbolt, Ice Shards, Ice Armor with Shimmering Ice Armor for freeze triggers, and passives enhancing barriers and damage against frozen, vulnerable, or chilled foes, while skipping Conjuration skills.
Gear aspects and Malignant Hearts offer defensive cooldown resets, healing near enemies, 40% enhanced Shatter damage, an additional Frost Nova charge with longer cooldown, point-blank group stuns, 50% extra damage to crowd-controlled foes, and increases to barrier generation and critical strike chance.
Paragon points are currently insufficient to reach a glyph socket, though the plan is to socket the Winter Rare Glyph for stacking cold damage once points allow.
