Ultimo Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 So, I've created an Illusion/Frost Controller (Loki), and I'm at the point where I'm deciding whether to use Frostwork or Spirit Ward. Most of my time is spent solo, so neither one is going to be much use to ME, but I'd like to be able to use one as an "Oh CRAP" power, to save an ass in a pinch. Which one would you all suggest is a better choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomguide2005 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 No 3rd choice 😕 Both are close to useless outside of muling a set bonus to a solo Ill/Cold. The only potential target is your Phantasm, Lore pets (post 50) or with some other way to gain a pet and target them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfeather Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Hmm...what Ancillary pool are you going? If you're going Cold/Frost, Hibernate is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uun Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Presumably you're going into the Sorcery pool to get Rune of Protection. Would recommend Mystic Flight and Arcane Bolt as the prerequisites.

Change is often good but if you're losin the OG crowd, you're doin somethin wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcane Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Spirit Ward AND Enflame pls. Spirit Ward is extremely helpful for keeping Phantasm alive when soloing hard targets. Edited July 18, 2022 by arcane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Posted July 21, 2022 Author Share Posted July 21, 2022 I actually have ALL of the Sorcery set (and I'm planning on Fire for my Ancillary pool). The question I'm wrestling with is whether to swap out Spirit Ward for Frostwork. I don't expect to get much use from it solo, but I wanted it for those times I'm in a group. I'm just not sure which is of more use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usage is situational, but quite useful in tough content (i.e., Relentess Aeon). Was JUST about to say this. Got a Symph/Cold build with it slotted up and hopefully Frostwork will see use in the build in Relentless Aeon -Stick to need to know info only on the forums(how-to's, inf making guides, maybe a generalist run down of your chosen AT) -Interact in at least a neutral manner. You don't have to like the folks here, but avoid being personal -Try and focus your time in-game. In-game folks are generally better to deal with and get real-time answers from than forums.
