Hi, I’m new posting here, and I just wanted to say, I love this game. I play it regularly and am now just starting to make some new builds.
There’s one skill I’m having an issue with,
I’m itching to play a true cold/frostburn caster in this game, but as it stands now, Olexra’s Flash Freeze not having an affect on bosses or certain heroes makes me so sad. That means that it won’t damage or proc on bosses. I don’t care if Olexra doesn’t freeze bosses, just make it slow and do damage, something, anything. I can understand not wanting this mechanic to cheese bosses. I’ll even take diminishing returns!
Please Crate, make this spell worth while, I must feed my need for a true cold caster build!
Thank you.
-This should probably be in “Ideas and Feedback” by the sounds of it.
-You are not the first to ask for something like this. The community has had several discussions on ways to make Olexra’s Flash Freeze (and Blade Trap for that matter) useful against Bosses, there haven’t been any changes over the several updates that this has been brought up so is unlikely to change any time soon.
-Have you considered any other Cold caster skills? Trozan’s Sky Shard and Rune of Hagarrad for example are both strong or are you specifically looking for a nova/wide-area skill?
Edit: Forgot to say, welcome to the forums!
Yep, known “issue”, I don’t think it’s something Crate wants as a boss fighting skill, you’ll have to look elsewhere for single target cold dps
Do the fire resist reduction work on bosses? I am new to the game and have not seen any fire based build in the compendium using Olexra’s - I thought it was due to not being able to bind certain devotions to it.
I’ll definitely post this in suggestions and feedback.
If it can’t be frozen, then Flash Freeze won’t damage it or apply any of it’s effects including Fire/Physical RR. Being able to apply approx. -100% Fire RR on Bosses would be insanely strong compared to other RR debuffs.
I would like to see one of two things happen with OFF
A. Simply get rid of the RR cause no one uses it anyway and don’t tie the damage to the freeze. Also buff the damage! Most builds are in nooo shortage of aoe and investing heavily into it simply does not provide good returns. If it’s going to be a massive aoe spell then it should be a lot better as max overacpped OFF is honestly not very impressive 
B. Rework the skill to include -freeze res, up the damage, and lower aoe substantially making it a hard cc for bosses/nems that also does some level of damage
