making new blizzard mf sorc: question

[coshi]

Of the 3 syndergies that effect blizzard, ice bolt, ice blast, glacial spike,
which should I max first, and is there a particular order I should max them in? and if so, why?

[stephan]

As synergy they all give the same amount of damage. In what way your max them is not really important, but you if you want to spam something in between you could choose between glacial spike (for freeze) and ice blast (for extra damage).

I hope you are just planning to make the character for the next ladder instead of right now, days before ladder reset. xD

Glacial spike for crowd control (Freeze)
Ice blast for damage.
I prefer glacial spike for monsters so that they are frozen under blizzard.

I usually max skills in this order: blizzard, CM (cold mastery), ice bolt, glacial spike, rest of the points in ice blast.. I max ice bolt first of the synergies because i allways spend one point in FO. Frozen orb is VERY good when helping friends in norm/nm difficulties and only requires 1 point to make it effective because of +skills, ice bolt being a synergy to it and CM makes it a LOT stronger

Remember that you shouldnt have CM higher than lvl 32-34 (?) because there's not many mobs who can have more resistance so it would be waste of skills
