Skeletal Frost Mage Help

10

Hey so I really enjoy Frost Mages and I'm trying to make them as good as I possibly can but I know there is a ton of room to grow here as I am only level like 87 and don't have the best gear.

But would a couple of you guys critique what I have going so far and suggest how to scale them further.

Also if you see any issues on the skill tree please point them out.

I am open to all criticism/ideas so don't be afraid to send any thoughts you have.

I reeeeally appreciate anyone who takes the time to help, Thanks!

i've never done it so idk how it works but posting a link to your kit/build would be ideal if you can

there's a site for it but i can't remember or find it

You want a sunsplinter +3

Try to find a jewel that gives you +2/3 on frost mage.

This should easily double your DPS.

The only thing that scales minion damage is +minion skills, so the first thing you need to do is drop that focus and get one of the options for +minions which i think are either the unique shield or the unique mace.

Not much to do besides that, minions arent that great and frost mages arent the better ones. Theres a viable build where people spam the minion active skill instead of the passive playstyle

You also really need to prioritize a sceptre with 'allies in your presence deal #% increased damage as high as you can get it.

Honestly, it should be a +4 minion sceptre, high as possible increased damage, and then spirit. And the way Offering skills are set up you need to use the sceptre with 2 skeletal warriors with sacrificial lamb so you can get the DPS boost without using your DPS minions.

Assuming you have some decent currency you can easily get a skeletal sceptre with 60+ increased damage (plus another 30% from a talisman) that will make a noticeable difference for you. And even a +4 cold skills sunsplinter is 6 divine, so that would be a huge boost in DPS for you.
