Kind of want to play Path of Exile again. Saw that Ice Spear has had its painfully low damage brought up AND there's some new fancy enchant-self spell that gives extra cold damage even to spells. So its actually viable to level as the build I want now without having to get a unique item to make the damage not horrible.
If any PoE player is curious, this is what I have in mind:Ice Spear has a huge base critical hit rate AND gets a 600% bonus to critical hit chance (for a ridiculous 49% chance to critical strike without any other bonuses).
By using this with Cold to Fire, you can cause ignite whenever you want, for an okay bit of damage now that the base damage ain't so bad. Since your using critical hits to apply it though, you can boost this small little on the top bonus into a high amount of damage by grabbing critical hit damage multipliers.
...Which can then be made to afflict a large AoE with Elemental Proliferation. Freezing and burning hordes down reliably with just a tiny little projectile. Fire once or twice and walk away as mobs burn, frozen in place unable to chase.
Best part is with the Three Dragons unique item, you can switch the status effects inflicted to ignite and shock. Which will multiply damage something ridiculous (close to five times the damage with three shock stacks) because ignite double dips the shock damage bonus (the initial damage is boosted by shock, making the ignite damage higher, which is then factoring in shock once more)
