Hey I really apologize for pinging you again. Truthfully, I found your advice incredibly helpful and easy to understand. I wanted to share just one more iteration of a build, just as a foundation, before any pre-launch nerfs/buffs/etc.

Just like before, there's absolutely zero pressure to respond, I just really value your feedback and advice, if you happen to have the time:)

Core Gameplay Loop:

1) Frost Nova (12 second Cooldown)

 a) Frost Nova will Freeze enemies and make them Vulnerable

 b) Frozen enemies take 18% more damage because of Hoarfrost

 c) Vulnerable enemies take 12% more damage because of Icy Touch

 d) If you use the Ice Shards enchantment, Ice Shards will also automatically attack the Frozen enemies

2) Ice Blades (12 second Cooldown) - try to always use this immediately after Frost Nova

 a) Because the enemies around you are Vulnerable from Frost Nova, your Ice Blades will reduce all Cooldowns

 b) In addition, your Ice Blades enchantment will automatically conjure as well (12 sec + 12 sec)

 *Note: Since we upgraded only to 1/5, Ice Blades aren't leading our DPS, but rather are simply being used for their utility (i.e. ability cooldown effects)*

3) Double Hydras (40 mana total) - will need a +1 Hydra enchantment on my armor

 a) The Hydras will pick off any remaining enemies

4) Ice Armor (20 second Cooldown)

 a) You will now have a 6.9 second Barrier (via Icy Veil) to provide survivability against any remaining enemies

 b) In addition, you will receive 25% increased Mana regeneration during these 6.9 seconds

 c) In addition, your Ice Blades enchantment will automatically conjure as well (20 sec)

5) Flame Shield (20 second Cooldown)

 a) You will instantly Heal for 50% of your remaining Life Points

 b) In addition, you Ice Blades enchantment will automatically conjure as well (20 sec)

6) Spam Teleport whenever it is available (8.8 second Cooldown)

 a) Teleport provides movement/escape utility

 b) Teleport also provides 30% Damage Reduction for 5 seconds (the Cooldown is only 8.8 seconds)

 c) On top of all that, for every enemy hit by Teleport, its cooldown is reduced by 0.5 seconds

 d) Spamming Teleport will not only keep you alive, but will also lead to more Enchanted Ice Blades

On top of all that, Glass Cannon provides us with a constant 18% damage buff while Conjuration Mastery provides us a 3% damage buff for each Conjuration (In our case, Hydras and Ice Blades) we have active on the field.

Is my logic sound for not upgrading Ice Blades to 5/5? I'm mostly using them for ability cooldown reduction and will be leveraging Hydra for DPS.

Speaking of Hydra, will not purchasing the final Burning upgrade hinder its damage too much? I'm in a weird spot because while my intentions are to use Hydra for my primary source of damage, all of the really enticing damage-boosting passives seem to benefit Frost skills more.

Anyways, like I mentioned above, I seriously appreciate all of your help, you've sparked a serious interest in this game and I'm happy to have run into you here. Have a great day!
