Description

Summons massive shards of ice to destroy your enemies.

Casting Delay: 1.8 seconds

Blizzard causes falling ice shards to strike random size 2 areas within a 4.6 yard radius for the listed cold damage. One shard is generated every 4 frames for a total duration of 4 seconds. 25 shards are generated in total. Each shard persists for a short duration (the duration of the "falling" animation) and is subject to the Last Collide mechanic.

Blizzard requires a certain playstyle since its damage is dealt over several seconds to an area, instead of in a more targeted shot like most Sorceress spells.

Monsters will need to be herded together, or a tank used to get them to hold still while Blizzard rains down its damage.

Lore

This is the most effective offensive spell that this discipline has to offer.

With the invocation of this spell, entire hordes of enemies are left chilled or dead, drowned in a hail of ice.

Wretched survivors of this wintry storm can do little but crawl and lament their fallen kin before they, too, succumb to the cold.

Can be used to make Runewords:

Blizzard has cast delay, so it's the best to use another spell (such as

Ice Blast) between its casts. To avoid frequent skill switching, set

Ice Blast under LMB and Blizzard under RMB.

If you are playing in Resurrected mode, this ability's projectiles provide a decent radius of light, illuminating the dark slightly. The constant volley of

Bolts means that you can continually illuminate a region of the map for the duration of it's effects, as well as of course hindering any enemies that might dare to tread it.
