so since im too poor to afford an infinity i been using fire/ice build. which isnt so bad. Should i be a fire main then ice second or ice first and fire second?

should i be using blizzard over glacial spike as a ice secondary? or would frozen orb be better?

right now using fireball and blizzard as a secondary to fire immunes.

Hey!

At the moment im grinding for infinty myself too so using fire/cold build.
I have maxed fireball and orb. Using mainly fireball and orb for fire immunes.
1 point in cold mastery. And rest of my points atm go into firemastery and synergies for fireball.
I'm no expert tho, so maybe more ppl here could help you!

Are you playing on bnet or SP?

max cold mastery is key to doing good damage with blizz or orb.

full blizzard is better than any hybrid build though.

Agreed, except you don’t need to max cold mastery for pvm. You just need to get it to -150 since most monsters have 150 cold res or less. That brings them to -100. Any monster with higher cold res than 150 will generally be cold immune. Max cold mastery is only beneficial in PVP

If you play FO + FB, 17 points in CM is a must, until you get your Infinity.
After you got Infy, respec, put only 1 point to CM, and the rest can go to fire skills.
