The attack rate of my Frenzy was too high in the end and this will mess negatively with the trigger rate. I had a little bit too much after getting Uber Lab (Golems) which I didn't know at the time so DPS could have been about 20% more. PoB has now been adjusted.

Final Thoughts:
This is the second fastest run so far but also one of my luckiest ones as well. I had a 600pDPS staff in the end. In a short run like that I would normally not expect to find anything better than 450pDPS. Last time I did a cyclone run with normal RNG it took almost 1 hour longer. youtube.com/watch?v=NaSOuGYHEYE
Build is far from meta but this playstyle might appeal to a wider playerbase as it's pretty easy to play. Build has very little avoidance which could be solved by investing more into block.

Overall, not bad in a Day 1 Leaguestart Scenario but this build will not scale well into T17's because there are so many mods that are bad for this build and your defence won't be great there.

Final Thoughts:
Overall, this build had pretty good clear since after attacking Static Strike would just "auto-hit" for 6s and Shockwave is great for clear but the single target damage especially towards the end was somewhat lacking. Of course this would have been less of an issue if I had something better than a 450dps staff but I had played build with a similarly bad weapon and they would still deal about 30% mroe damage.

Final Thoughts:
I had pretty bad RNG on campaign gear but even with mediocre RNG I think early maps would have been nearly as rough as it was in this run. This build gets a lot stronger once you have the last ascendancy point and enough regen to sustain Righteous Fire. EB Mom is needed to sustain RF early on. This character is very squishy against Physical Attacks if you don't find enough Armor Gear like I did.

Final Thoughts:
This is my fastest runs so far despite having a bad Wand/Sceptre. However, Wintertide isn't very strong before you have your Golems at 34. So I would recommend using Cold Snap early on more and adding Creeping Frost to your setup. After 34 (Golems) Wintertide Brand had decent damage with pretty good uptime.

This build is very squishy against Physical Attacks. I'd reckon that 80% of my deaths in Maps were due to Physical Attack Damage. If I had pushed this character past Exarch & Eater I would have gone definitely ES/EV gear to get Evade Chance higher than 60%. For ES Sustain I would recommend Ghost Shrouds and one ES Spell Leech node.

Overall, fairly fast in a Day 1 Scenario but I doubt Wintertide will scale particularly well into T17s.

Added Tornado Shot later into my gem setup (around 9h in).

Barrage
Freezing Salvo - Hourglass - Magnified Area

*Regex*
"t speed|adds|d phys|m life"

*Gear Progression*
Vendor checks for decent bows (%inc Physical Damage, flat Lightning, flat Physical) are pretty important. At 28 you can get the Dualstring Bow. Pick up all Dualstring Bows no matter what rarity. I would use Blacksmith Whetstones, Artificer's Orbs & Storm Runes that I have gathered so far to craft a decent Dualstring Bow.
For example a Dualstring with decent flat Lightning/flat Physical are worth investing your currency into. I would continue using that bow until the next tier of Dualstring which is Twin Bow (level 55) unless you get a very good bow before that. You can also get flat damage on your gloves, quiver and rings. The next bow base to aim for would be Gemini at 78.
Once you get the Reforge Bench I would also use that to reforge failed crafts.

Normally, I would go for "Lead Through Grace" as the second Ascendancy Notable but as I had a lot of Spirit on my gear so I went for Unbound Avatar instead.

Change in 0.3 to Glacial Cascade:
Glacial Cascade: No longer has Consumes Freeze on enemies to deal 350% more Damage. It now Consumes Freeze on non-Unique enemies to deal 150% more Damage, and Consumes Freeze on Unique enemies to deal 425% more Damage. Burst Radius is now 0.6 metres (previously 0.5 metres). The Final Burst Radius is now 0.9-1.2 metres at Gem levels 1-20 (previously 0.7 metres at all Gem levels). Quality now provides Gain 0-15% of Physical Damage as Cold Damage (previously 0-10%).

[Nerfed] Lvl 1 to Tier 15 | Cold Sorceress Leaguestart Leveling [Patch 0.2]

Tuadh 2025-08-20 | Run was done in 0.2

Nerf in 0.3:
Frost Wall: Now deals 80% less damage in the first 0.5 seconds of its duration.

Frost Bomb: Now deals 7-11 Cold Damage at Gem level 1 (previously 16-23), scaling up to 238-538 at Gem level 20 (previously 467-701). Now has a Cooldown of 6 seconds (previously 3.5), and now has a 4 second Detonation Time instead of a 3 second Duration before Exploding. Now Chills Enemies as though dealing 300% more Damage, and now applies Elemental Exposure instead of Cold Exposure. It initially applies 20% Elemental Exposure, and 2% per Pulse, up to a maximum of 50%. Quality now provides +0-10% more Maximum Elemental Exposure applied (previously 0-20% increased Cold Exposure Effect).

Cold Snap: Has been reworked, and renamed to Snap. It can now be used on any Orb spell or any frozen, shocked or ignited enemy, causing an explosion of the corresponding damage type and creating a remnant of the corresponding type from enemies. This explosion can chain react to a limited extent from enemies hit that are affected by the same ailment. Now deals 48-540 to 72-810 Cold Damage, 2-27 to 46-512 Lightning Damage, or 17-192 to 26-288 Fire Damage at Gem levels 5–20 (previously 70-670 to 105-1005 Cold Damage). Quality now grants 0-10% chance to spawn an additional remnant (previously 0-20% chance to not consume freeze).

*Act 1 Gems*
Frost Bomb - Spell Cascade - Concentrated Effect or Execute/Controlled Destruction if you don't like the small AoE
Essence Drain - Chain - Zenith/Swift Affliction
Contagion - Unleash - Magnified Effect

I would use Chaos DoT early on mainly for clear then drop those spells when you get Frost Wall at 31.

*Regex*
"spell s|t speed|spell d|d block"
(spell skill|cast speed|spell damage|increased block chance)

If you like to have more Defence I would use an "increased block chance" Shield instead of a Focus.

*Gear Progression*
Look for +Levels to Spell Skills Gem at the Vendor. +Levels to Gems will provide flat damage. %increased Damage is important too but I would prioritise additional Levels to Gems over that. You can also get +Levels to Spell Skills on Shields (Focus), Wands and Amulet.
Additional Gem Levels will increase the base Mana Cost significantly. You might have to use Inspiration as a Support Gem.

Freezing Salvo: Spread has been increased by 25% Now fires an additional arrow at each Ice Fragment near its target location. Now has an Attack Damage of 68-150% at Gem levels 5-20 (previously 78-172%). Now accumulates a missile every 0.75 seconds at all Gem levels (previously 1-0.8 seconds at Gem levels 5-20), and now accumulates up to 10 additional missiles (previously 12). Quality now provides 0-40% more Freeze Buildup (previously Delay between missile accumulation is 0 to -0.2 seconds shorter).
