EPTConsidering I got high crit already so the 600% crit on the 2nd form are not so important as well. Still was assuming it has the highest DPS now since it's the only true single target spell without LMP/GMP.

I tend to think that frost bolt is best though. When I'm back on my pc I think ill get to 90 and maybe make a fire ball build. | ||

Frostbolt is 5 base crit, so without assassin it can be hard to cap crit, even with the inc crit strikes gem (not impossible, but hard). It`s projectile speed also becomes a factor in clear speed unless you link faster projectiles, which is an unexciting link usually. When need to bother with single target stuff i just take the GMP out of my frostbolt  | ||

So I got high crit chance already. I think the main pros/cons look like this: Freezing Pulse: + highest DPS (1325 at lvl 20) - gotta go melee to feel it - isn't always working (relevant from reddit) Frost Bolt: + good DPS (1254 at lvl 20) - lowest crit chance - really slow projectile speed, might be bad for bosses that don't get frozen and aren't standing still. Ice Spear: + high projectile speed + high crit chance (easily 95%) - lowest DPS by far (806 at lvl 20) Frost Bolt looks best to me but I'm worried about the projectile speed, for which I'm not gonna pick up tree nodes. | ||

I know there are other ways to get Power Charges easily, however I always forget to use things like Orb of Storms when socketing it with PCoC... prefer when there's one skill less to forget. | ||

If you have some freeze duration nodes or jewels, you can permafreeze up to about tier 8-10 pretty easily depending on DPS. I think the other benefit of going ice is that the damage isn't reliable on ignites/shocks/poison either, so new bosses/atziri don't take less damage | ||

The thing is, it's very rare but I don't think it's all that in-demand either. | ||

It seemed like an interesting buff but I'm not sure how precisely you leverage it to either do more damage or get more AoE | ||

So there's more damage. | ||

Best bow for SRS due to the low requirements, super fotm right now. Also in theory not using vorici has lower cost for 6s / links on average. | ||
