Cast Eruption on unsuspecting foe from high ground.
Drop on him for Earthquake. Stand in melee range.
Ice Bow -> Deep Freeze -> Ice Storm -> Shockwave -> Lava Font -> Flame Burst -> Signet of Earth and grow more power with Fire Shield -> Arcane Brilliance for might -> Arcane Shield + Meteor

If still alive, pop Tornado.

Haven’t tried it yet. Don’t hate myself that much.

I faced an ele in a duel arena running a similar spec. I have to tell you, Deep Freeze is a MAJOR pain in a 1v1 situation since it’s essentially a much longer pre-nerf Basilisk Venom. However, if you teleport out of it when they go to use Ice Storm, you shouldn’t die to that combo. You still have to wait for the freeze to come down, but you aren’t standing in the field getting damaged to no end.

It’s really funny when I see someone go for me expecting an easy kill, and then get frozen for five seconds in the middle of a teamfight.
The only problem is that sometimes it misses for no apparent reason for me

Sounds powerful, but too many variables need to line up for it to work. Needs to be 1v1, perfect positioning, enemy not cleansing or stunbreaking, need to have an area high enough to take falling damage…etc.

But you seem to consider it a joke anyway (as per the title and tone of your post). So, all that aside…great idea

Stun breaks don’t work with deep freeze, ala pre-nerf basilisk venom.

I know, was referring to the opening earthquake.

landing deep freeze is so impossibly hard. you have to force them to use up all their condition removals, or all their stun breaks, or all their endurance, and then you STILL have to combo it with something else

Condition removals and stun breaks don’t work on it, unless you’re talking about setting up for it.
In fact, once you have it on, the only thing that can remove it is damage from an allied player.

Yes, that is what I mean by “landing” it. Getting it to connect. Getting it to hit and freeze them in the first place. It’s SO telegraphed. It has a distinctive sound, and you strike a pose for a year, and then after all that, the projectile is slow as molasses. Anyone who isn’t afk or distracted by 500 engineer bomb explosions going off around them can dodge it every time.

like, Oh I’m immobilized. Well, whatever. OH SHOOT HE’S FIRING DEEP FREEZE. condition removal -> dodge.

Instead of Earthquake, Wind up Deep Freeze, Lightning Flash to his face.

That sounds like a really good idea actually.
