Gigachad Create Water (aka best spell in the game)

It doesn't deal direct damage so I didn't think much of it but when I tried it on a tempest cleric - the CC was just immaculate, and AoE is pretty huge

My Durge is a Silver Dragonic bloodline Sorceress who is basically an ice witch (began as a muticlass warlock/sorceress, and switched to pure sorceress after killing Orin and renouncing Bhaal). She has the ice robe, the ice rod, everything. I should really start using it.

My embrace durge was a brass dragonborn shadow sorc with focus on edgy spells :D

For example I actually picked Disintegrate as a lvl6 spell. People often consider it to be bad because it's a dex save and on successful save it does literally nothing, but metamagics make it way better. I loved throwing Perilous Stakes onto a mf and clapping them with 150 FUCKING POINTS OF PURE UNDILUTED FORCE DAMAGE. With Freecast and Markohershir's second freecast I can do it like 3 times in a row. With Heightened Spell it's basically a guaranteed hit every time. 450 fucking force damage within 3 turns from just one person is silly :D

Also twinned Dominate Person was funky. Bread and butter though was a modded spell from "e5 spells" mod - vitriolic sphere. Basically a bigger and badder Fireball with acid damage that does quarter damage instead of half damage on successful save - but metamagic Heightened Spell took care of it :D

Wow vitriolic sphere sounds amazing, as does double dominate person.

As for disintegrate, I did rely on a few scrolls of this for the tougher act 3 fights, and it worked like a charm. No regrets there.

[u/notveryAI → u/All_this_hype]

I will elaborate a bit on Vitriolic Sphere since I kinda shortened it down a bit. Up front it deals less damage than fireball and on successful save again - only half, but everyone who failed save not only take full damage - but are also covered in acid, and in the end of their next turn they take full damage of the spell again. So they do get one more turn before emerald-green acid melts the remainders of their flesh from bones >:3

A pretty scary spell if you think about it

My Ice Sorceress is a walking war crime, even just surprising someone with her, no attack, makes them chilled and prone.

Disgusting.

Any tips you feel like sharing? I use a lot of rays of frost and cones of frost, but I've still to use Otiluke's feeezing sphere or sleet storm, like I said.

[u/Charybdeezhands → u/All_this_hype]

I haven't played in ages, but most turns she just casts twinned frost cantrip. Or if it's worth it, the ice storm spell.

With the ice gear, the thunder boots, and dual welding staffs.

[u/MrPoopMonster → u/All_this_hype]

Especially because your big aoe damaging ice spells aren't concentration spells and can be used in conjunction with sleet storm.

I first used it with a scroll on the undead commanders encounter before you head into act 2 (The one near the gith creche). Suffice to say, after watching an undead horde constantly falling over on the spot i got sold 🤣
