FAQ

Is Orb of Frost good for leveling?+

It unlocks at Level 12, slightly later than some starters, but provides excellent AoE once available. Use early leveling skills until then.

How does the chain reaction mechanic work?+

Icicles split into smaller projectiles on first hit, creating chain reactions that clear entire packs. Positioning is key to maximizing orb coverage.

Is this build SSF (Solo Self-Found) viable?+

Yes — the build performs well without trading. Farm All Resistance items from the auction house (25% All Res for 500 gold) for survivability.

Should I use Blizzard or Lunar Orbit?+

Blizzard provides persistent frost area for endgame. Lunar Orbit is a community-mentioned alternative. Choose based on your preferred playstyle.
