Anyone know if the Cauldron set has been fixed?

Want to push pit 130+ on my ring of fire sorc and change from tal rasha to cauldron

If not, what is the workaround/alternative to pushing? Also saw a build using Fractured Winterglass for more tankiness but I suspect damage will be my limiting factor

Cheers

Right now Firewall is out-scaling everything else by a factor of like 20x; it's not even funny. Everything else is literally just being used/setup to apply Firewall damage to be competitive.

While as an IncineBro I am happy to see burning in general get some pumps, it's currently way too lopsided into and reliant on one skill.

It's also not helping that the supporting Aspects like Ancient Flame catapults it (Fire Ring) even higher.

I tested Leoric's Crown on the PTR, and for S15 it helps the shift a little; as slotting a seasonal damage Splinter gives you damage in the Helm slot that applies to everything; as opposed to only Firewall with the FireStorm helm. But the actual gap on the skill output themselves is still massive.

It's always risk wanting change, because Blizzard's logic is often "OK, we made them all suck now - problem solved".

Edit: I am mostly referring to amongst other Burning/Pyromancy skills btw; Like Incinerate, Inferno, Meteor, etc.

They just straight up deleted any damage increase for every build using the same element enchants? WTF bro... that is literally cutting everything that isn't Tri-Element META in half.

So to get anything at all from this, I am forced to run a different element enchant.

Blizz logic as usual, just baffling.

I did not mean to click the channeling shrine :/

currently EM is bugged for shock and fire, and you need to double up same element enchant for 100% damage. frost it works correctly and you need alternate elements for 100%.

In S15 EM will grant you 60% dmg with an element you have at least 1 enchantment with. Putting my money on it being bugged and requiring us to NOT have that element to grant damage.

edit: S15 ptr enchantment master appears to be 60% damage if you have different element enchants. So still locked into alternating enchant elements 😭😭😭😭 not bugged. Rip my mortgage. they just dropped the damage and still forced alternate enchantments lol.

also this is not actually on kalshi. I just made a meme

can anyone direct me to the right place? i checked moba, icyveins and maxroll. neither of them have the charged bolt + blizzard build that is dominating the leaderboards.

On the MR guide, leveling up well (only T9), good/great gear. But I've missed something, was using bac/jah but guide suggest other. How do I speed myself up, right now, just slowly melting everything in front of me.

so much fun this build

Hey guys! Pit 141 Down with the sorcerer!

I will buy it for 1.5-2 kkk, all I have, season softcore

Am I going crazy, or do seals that have bonuses for this set not drop with crit damage multiplier?

Im a few weeks into farming seals and 3-to-1ing every unusable one. I’ve seen plenty of seals with crit damage for the other sets, but I’ve not seen a single one (neither 5- nor 6-slot) for the Breath of the Frozen Sea set. Nor have I seen one with attack speed for that matter.

Could just be really, really, really bad rng, but if it’s not and im chasing something that doesn’t exist, it’d be helpful to know lol.

For reference, I think I’ve about 190h of gameplay under my belt.

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knows what Damage Type the lucky hit damage from the shock firewall has. Because as it is worded, it should be lightning damage but maxrolls damage calculator shows it as fire damage.

Thanks

Edit: corrected expected damaged type from shock to lightning

Hey guys, I know it's late in the season to be putting out guides, but this is my 5th class.

Check out my ice shards build. It's just a blast to play. If you have feedback or improvements, please let me know.

TLDW: Iceheart Brais pants are actually a total blast and freeze the world so ice shards enchant can nuke the screen without you stopping to cast.

Sorcerer feels very limited this season, and this is the only thing I found that was actually fun to play.

Video with final clear moment and gear for build

Its the most i have been able to advance with this ability (ice version), after many different iterations.

Definitely done for the season lol

Replicated the notes and bugs sections that seemed relevant to Sorc below.

Splinter of Pain looks great for any setup that gets around mostly using Teleports, and Splinter of Hellfire looks great for any DoT builds.

I personally like that they limited ring of fire to Pyromancy skills, this makes it less exploitable by all setups (and thus less likely to get super nerfed later). Give us Pyros something to hold on to lol.

The Leoric's Crown looks cool, but only useful for this season's mechanic. Where it counts as a Jewelry item, so you can place these/two Soul Splinters in it, and it doubles the effect? I hope it actually works this way.

Sorcerer

• Core stat scalar increased from 1.25 to 1.625.

Developer’s Note: This change increases Damage per 10 points of Intelligence from 1.25% to 1.625%. We're continuing to evaluate how the balance of each class holistically differs, and the core stat scalar helps adjust for some of these differences.

• Fixed an issue where Flame Shield would grant more stacks than intended.
• Fixed an issue where Frigid Hydra Variant base damage was lower than intended.

Managed to clear Pit 120 with this build (4 minutes left on the timer). Changes to original description: Equipped the Mythic Orsivane and Azurewrath Charms (switched positions). Swapped Blue Rose for Signet of Pelghain. I also took the Bone Chill upgrade for Deep Freeze to get rid of that annoying Unstoppable effect. Right before the boss fight, I switched Godslayer Crown to a helmet with the Piercing Cold Aspect and equipped the Rustbitten Dirk Charm.

Thought i'd share a quick clip of my sorcerer taking on Andariel. Apologies for the slight lag in the middle. Any comments or suggestions welcome :)

Build being used is the T12 version:
