It is the fastest and most convenient way to move in D2. Movement: Similarly to other sorc builds, cold sorcs also move by teleport. To improve survivability further, you will need to rely on gearing. Shiver Armor grants a bunch of Defense while freezing your attackers, while Energy Shield lets you take damage from your Mana instead of your Life. If you have spare stat points, these are the skills you want to put them on. Glacial Spike is also an interesting attacking skill option, as it freezes enemies for 5 seconds, which makes them immobile, easy to attack and easy to defend against.ĭefending skills: Shiver Armor and Energy Shield are the two skills we rely on for defense. Both deal a lot of single target and area damage simultaneously already at level 20, and they don’t require expensive equipment to be efficient. What more can you wish for?Īttacking skills: The primary cold attacking skills are Blizzard and Frozen Orb. They deliver a lot of single target and area damage, move super fast via teleport, have decent survivability, and can have 1000% magic find and still maintain ultra-fast farming speed.
