But frozen orb allows you to invest points in other element skill, so you can be a dual element to handle monster immunity. People that use blizzard don’t just use blizzard only, while blizzard is wrecking havoc, they also spam ice blasts or glacial spike, which has added bonus of freezing the monsters.Ĭan you do that with frozen orb? Not really. Even if Blizzard only destroys 90% of the pack that it was casted on due to the ‘aimlessness’, you can aim your ice blast or glacial spike to destroy the rest as they can be aimed and have been buffed through synergy. Also remember that Blizzard synergizes with other skills like Glacial spike and ice blast. But when used well, Blizzard usually outputs more damage. If the maximum amount of sockets on the item equals the amount you need, you can also take it to Larzuk, he will add the maximum amount of sockets to the item as a quest reward.Blizzard vs Frozen Orb comes down to individual preference really. When you find a good base without sockets you can try to add sockets with the Horadric Cube socket recipe.See the detailed type definition for more info. Note that for Runewords, Scepters, Maces, Hammers, and Clubs are distinct classes, even though the game groups them all under the Mace class. Insight can only be made in Polearms or Staves (missile weapons too in patch 2.4), so it will not work in Spears (which look like Polearms). The item type must be eligible for the Runeword.If the item has more sockets, the Runeword will not work. The item needs the have the exact amount of sockets as listed in the recipe.You can not use, magic, rare, unique, set, or crafted items.

Ethereal and superior items can be used to create a Runeword.
