The Blizzard Orb Sorceress can power through many zones, specializing in areas like the Ancient Tunnels, Chaos Sanctuary, and Throne Room. With a large Area of Effect damage special and the ability to completely freeze Monsters using Ice Blast or Glacial Spike she not only puts out massive damage but also has extra survivability compared to other Sorceresses.

She is also known for being able to wear the highest amount of Magic Find Gear, as most of the other Sorceress elements are a bit more Gear dependent to get similar damage output. This allows for better farming overall, especially when looking for Unique and Set items.

One of the major benefits of 2.4 is that without Global Cooldowns, she can now cast Frozen Orb and Blizzard in between each other's cooldowns, meaning the damage output of this Character essentially doubles. For mobs with low health you can simply drop a single Blizzard and move on, but for the tankier mobs you can mix and match both skills to crush them even faster than a normal Blizzard Sorceress.

The Cold Sorceress overall has very good kill potential once reaching Level 24 and is one of the best Sorceress Skill Builds to take through the entire game.

The following section discusses how many attribute points should be allocated to each of the primary stats.

Enough for gear — for a Character using a Spirit Monarch Shield this will be 156 Strength as that is usually the highest Strength requirement for commonly used gear. If choosing to use another shield with lower Strength requirements, then adjust to that value. This number constantly changes based on the equipment you are using, so make sure to double-check the Strength requirements of each piece of gear you have and how much Strength each piece will provide once equipped.

Enough for gear. Dexterity is great for increasing Block Chance but if you are not planning to invest points to max that out, it is often not worth adding any additional points. This Sorceress will not use Attack Rating so extra points in Dexterity does not help.

Everything else into Vitality — 250+ Vitality. Every excess attribute point should be allocated to Vitality, as long as you can meet the Strength requirements of your items by the time you wish to equip them. Not only does this increase your Life total, but it also increases the chance for Health Potions to double the healing provided. On top of that, the more Life you have, the less chance you have to be put into Hit Recovery, helping your character out even more!

Nothing — allocating stat points to Energy in a final build is universally considered sub-par for almost every character due to the widespread availability of Mana Potions. While leveling, if you find your character struggling with Mana, you can allocate a few points to Energy that you can then remove with a respec later in the game.
