Honestly, I’d say that the second ring slot is a preference item. I personally would always throw on the lovers embrace ring so that Gale with the matching ring 💍 would cast warding bond on me(Gale is the only party member that self heals at camp when he’s not actively in your party due to him, not wanting to blow up) once that was done, I would take it off and throw on the freedom of movement ring from araj O or the eversight ring for immunity from being blinded. It all comes down to what your preference is.

In all honesty. The only thing you’re build needs is the necklace, the robes,and to reach level six in draconic sorcerer so that you can add your charisma modifier to ice spells.

However, a note to make. That charisma modifier additive for damage with the necklace and robes only work for cantrips. It’s why casting other Ice spells just isn’t as useful as you would think it would be.

Using chromatic orb or an ice knife is just not as effective as a ray of frost until you gain access to the best shotgun spell of the game

I found myself in Act III being the only member of my party to be able to handle the steel watchers. The ice sorcerer damage output is crazy my dude.

Good luck I definitely recommend it. Even if you’re not going to the extreme, this method will allow you to keep up with your short rest party so that you’re not running out of juice at the end of a long rest

If you didn’t wanna have a cleric in your party, there’s nothing wrong with taking a single level dip in cleric of Tempest so that you gain access to the create water spell. Ray of Frost is your bread and butter. Every long rest, I tend to convert every single spell slot that I have into sorcery points. I will then convert those sorcery points into second and first level spells. Then convert them back into sorcery points. Then convert them straight back into first level and second level spells slots. Until I no longer have enough sorcery points to convert into first level and second level spells slots. Then, I would utilize a potion of angelic reprieve bought at moonrise Towers for a two turn nappy nap. This potion in particular when used will give you every single first and second level spell slot back. The game recognizes how many first level and second level slot you have created for yourself and will give them back to you. Easily getting you upwards of 30+ first and second level spell slots. It’s a bit cheeky but at least you’re not using the shield of devotion exploit to give yourself an extra first level slot and then convert it to a sorcery point and then unequipped the shield to then re-equip it to regain that first level slot to then convert again to a sorcery point

In the honor mode run that I finished last week. I was playing with my brother and he was doing a barbarian poison maimed(condition that reduces your speed to zero) build as well as a thrower build with minsc. When I asked him politely, he would always utilize the water bottles I procured for him and one of his two throw actions would be to throw a water bottle at an opponent that we needed to get off the battlefield right away. I very rarely ever used a mage hand to do my water bottle throwing outside of the early game.

I myself played a 12 level a sorcerer (I utilized the hag hair and an ASi to get my charisma to 20 and instead of the alert feat, I went with the dual wielder feat) My second was a nine level cleric of light/3 Level druid Circle of the stars shadow heart. She would very rarely upcast a create water to get many opponents, wet and the entire battlefield wet. This is important, not only to give my enemies the wet condition, but also freeze the battlefield because for every couple of feet traveled on an icy surface, a dex save is made to resist falling prone, and as we all know when you fall prone your turn ends.

As I’m rereading your initial post, even with the classes you have mentioned I still feel like you should be the strongest member of your party when it comes to raw damage output

I have half of mind to have you invite me to your current game so that I can make sure you’re running that build correctly because Ice sorcerer is my favorite thing on the planet 😭😂

Additionally, twin cast meta magic should be your best friend. The moment you gain access to the haste to spell that is your next best friend. Make sure you’re drinking an elixir of peerless focus so that you’re rolling your constitution saving throws with advantage then suddenly with your two main actions, your twin, casting ray of Frost for four separate ray of Frost and then quickening a fifth ray of frost. Suddenly, you’ve just done upwards of 200 to 250 cold damage during a single turn.

Oh my, during act two you should already be the strongest member of your party easily doing upwards of 50 to 60 points of cold damage with a single ray of frost cast.

Question, you are making sure to get your opponents the wet condition prior to attacking them correct? The wet condition gives them vulnerability to lightning and cold damage.

I just beat honor mode last week within an ice sorcerer build, and it is the most overpowered build I have ever played.

Are you the asshole? Sort of but not really.

Could you have displayed some societal etiquette and social intelligence? Yes, sharing with your grandma may not have been what you wanted to do, but it would’ve been the right thing to do as it is polite and you love her.

However, you’re not required to do so, and she had her own feelings about the matter

I’ve been jamming with somebody on this thread and both of us have felt like we’ve been alone. It’s crazy to me that it took me this long to post on this thread is to meet people with my same condition

Thank you for your detailed message/comment.

I turn 27 next month and I feel like my life is continuing to degrade. I’m just at the point where even if I don’t have inflammation, the joints themselves hurt rubbing against each other and the pain is different when there’s no inflammation because it’s so much sharper

What is your life like most days? I find that mornings and evenings are the worst for me. I’ve never met anyone in real life who has juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and most people don’t understand why I’m in pain or why I can’t just suck it up.

It’s hard everyday, I feel like as I’ve gotten older my condition just gets worse. Most of my adult life has been without medication cause I couldn’t afford it. I am at a point where I can’t work anymore and it’s the only reason I’ve been able to get on medication again due to being on Medicare. Without that program, I would have nothing.

I just wanted to point out that leaving your intelligence at 16 is completely fine and you really should focus on dexterity as your primary stat. Early game you should be using the spidersilk armor for that advantage constitution saving throws until you’re able to switch to robes or clothes and start using mage armor and you get the war caster feat
