- skill setup does not change until transition to Ice Nova of Frostbolts in maps
- use Major Soul of Arakaali and Minor Soul of Ralakesh for the Pantheon after ACT 7
- prioritize modifiers that give spell damage, cast speed, move speed, life, and resists before Archmage in Act 3
- prioritize modifiers that give spell damage, cast speed, move speed, mana, life, and resists after Archmage in Act 3
- use Orb of Alteration or Beastcrafting to get immunity to bleed, corrupting blood, ignite, chill, and freeze on flasks

***IMPORTANT!*** Refer to timestamp 30:25 of my video for transition from Firestorm to Ice Nova of Frostbolts. The build won't work if you mess this up!
