How to get Diablo 4 Legendary Aspects

Players can get D4 Legendary Aspects through two paths:

Codex of Power

Codex of Power serves as a valuable repository of knowledge, providing a curated selection of Diablo 4 Aspects that can be imprinted onto your Equipment:

  • Baseline Selection: Within the Codex of Power, you will find a range of pre-determined Legendary Aspects, offering a solid starting point for enhancing your character. These Aspects bestow impactful effects that can give you a significant advantage in battle.
  • Dungeon Completion: To unlock the Legendary Aspects residing within the Codex of Power, you must prove your mettle by conquering specific Dungeons scattered throughout the realm of Sanctuary. By emerging victorious from these challenging trials, you earn the right to imprint the associated Aspects onto your items.
  • Limitations: It is important to note that the Codex of Power does not encompass the entirety of Legendary Aspects available in the game. Some truly unique and potent Aspects can only be obtained through alternative means.
  • Imprinting Limitations: When imprinting D4 Aspects from the Codex of Power onto your items, the resulting values will always be the lowest possible roll. This means that the power of the Diablo 4 Aspect will be reduced compared to its maximum potential. It is worth considering this limitation when strategizing and seeking additional legendary treasures to unlock their full potential.

 

Legendary Items

While the Codex of Power offers a convenient shortcut to acquiring Legendary Aspects, a more traditional path involves engaging in combat and vanquishing demons to obtain Legendary Items.

  • Demon Slaying: Engage in thrilling battles, navigate treacherous Dungeons, and face powerful foes to increase your chances of acquiring legendary loot. By repeatedly slaying demons, you create opportunities to obtain coveted Legendary Aspects.
  • Random DropsLegendary Aspects acquired through traditional means are often acquired as random drops from defeated Enemies. Embrace the element of chance and revel in the excitement of each victorious encounter.
  • Full PotentialLegendary Aspects obtained from Legendary items do not suffer from the limitations of imprinted values found in the Codex of Power. They possess their maximum potential, delivering the full force of their enhancing effects. These treasures are the embodiment of power waiting to be harnessed by worthy adventurers.

How to extract a Legendary Aspect in Diablo 4

If you come across a Legendary Aspect on gear that doesn't fit your build, don't despair! You can extract it at The Occultist for a significant Gold fee. Once extracted, the Aspect is stored in your Aspect Inventory tab, ready for use on a different piece of gear. You can even transfer the Aspect to your Stash if your Aspect Inventory is full. Extracted Aspects come with information about which item types they can be imprinted on and any bonuses they provide when imprinted on specific pieces. This is a great way to repurpose powerful Aspects that would otherwise go to waste on gear you don't use.

Can I equip an item with a Legendary Aspect that belongs to another class?

Yes, you can, but doing so, will render the Legendary Aspect unusable in that character, since you can't receive the specifics bonuses. 

For example, a Rogue can decide to imprint Aspect of Ancestral Force into a Bow, and can still equip it. However, the bonus of Aspect of Ancestral Force which makes Hammer of the Ancients quakes outwards, dealing a percentage of its damage to enemies, will be useless, since Rogues don't have that Skill.

Prodigy's Aspect Diablo 4 Guide

Prodigy's Aspect in Diablo 4 is one of the best Legendary Aspects for the Sorceress. The said class heavily uses mana to conjure magical spells and with this Legendary Aspect, it can fix your main issues of trying to have a sustainable amount of mana when you're in Endgame. Progidgy's Aspect provides mana whenever you use a CD skill such as defensive ones like Teleport or Flame Shield, and with every Sorcerer's build, you'll always have at least a minimum of 2-3 CD skills. This is a very powerful modifier since you are acquiring about 50+ mana as you use your skills.

Exploiter's Aspect Diablo 4 Guide

Exploiter's Aspect is a utility type of Legendary Aspect that allow you to slot this into your chest armor, helms, or leg armor. As a sorcerer, with any element you plan to master, you'll always be the delegated class who will provide DPS support from afar while casting spells. What this aspect does is it slightly increases the duration of CC effects and provides damage bonuses while you are fighting against Unstoppable Targets, enemies that are resistant to crowd control effects. Bosses also count as "Unstoppable" targets until they are staggered, which means if you break their stagger meter immediately, then you have a permanent damage bonus throughout the boss encounter. For endgame purposes or even during main campaign, you'll want to consider using this aspect in your build.

Aspect of the Umbral Diablo 4 Guide

Continuing off the effects of CCs is the Aspect of the Umbral, pairing this with Exploiter's Aspect further boosts your capability of sustaining Mana since it restores mana when you Crowd Control an enemy such as Chill, Freeze, Immobile, or Stun. Best to be used if you are fighting large groups of mobs since hitting multiple enemies with skills that can trigger CCs can recover a lot of mana for your character. This is yet one of the best Legendary Aspects for the Sorceress class since managing your Mana is very difficult when this class heavily relies on consuming Mana to unleash devastating spells.

Diablo 4 Sorceress Builds

 

Perfected Permafrost Sorcerer Build (Level 70+ Build)

The Perfected Permafrost Endgame Build is a control-focused Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that’s an advanced version of the Permafrost Midgame Sorceress Build. Here, you continue to control enemies by unleashing a barrage of Ice Spells.

Overview

This is a Diablo IV Build that focuses on showcasing the Frost effects of the game while possibly recreating the classic Diablo 2 Frozen Orb Build. With a clever combination of Skills and some unorthodox choices, you’ll be playing a very powerful Sorceress D4 Build that doesn’t just rely on mindlessly pressing Ice Shards, and has fantastic AoE capabilities. You’ll be clearing content very fast without losing engagement, and of course, you’ll be looking stylish while you do it.

This is an advanced version of our Level 50 Permafrost Sorcerer Diablo IV Build, with some key differences based mainly around the focus of your Skill allocation and the optimization of the gear you should use. The advanced Paragon Boards bring in extra damage and survivability that you really need.

Your gameplay rotation is simple. You can run through or past enemies to get them Chilled, then when in the middle of the group use Frost Nova and quickly unleash a Frozen Orb + free Ice Shards. Or if you prefer, you can cast Blizzard from outside the room and then simply funnel in Frozen Orbs to clear it out. You get survivability from Ice Armor and a double cast of Frost Nova that can CC everything around you and let you get away with ease. And if you run into single mobs that are moving out of your Frozen Orb, use the Ice Shards to quickly take them down.

The Ice Sorcerer is one of the most powerful Diablo IV Builds in the whole game, but the gameplay can get rather boring if you opt for the more traditional Ice Shards-focused Build. With the Frozen Orb approach, you’ll have a lot of gameplay fun while still being able to clear rooms very quickly. This Sorceress D4 Build is simple to set up and has a wide variety of options to further improve it, making it a good choice for both players that are just starting with Tier IV, and those engaged in the endgame grind.

 

Perfected Pyromancer Sorcerer Build (Level 70+ Build)

The Perfected Pyromancer Endgame Build is a burst DPS Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that’s an advanced version of the Pyromancer Midgame Sorceress Build. Here, you continue to focus on casting Fire Spells to quickly clear content while keeping you alive.

Overview

This is a Diablo IV Build that focuses on showcasing the Fire effects of the game while possibly recreating the classic Diablo 2 Fireball Build. The result is a really fun and interactive D4 Build that gives you a lot of active gameplay, rather than relying on one Skill mindlessly. You’ll feel powerful, you’ll clear endgame content with ease, but you’ll also be engaged and put on an amazing show while doing it.

This is an advanced version of our Level 50 Pyromancer Sorcerer, with some key differences based mainly on your Skill allocation and the optimized gear you should use. The advanced Paragon Boards bring in extra damage and survivability that you really need. Your gameplay will be rather simple - summon your two Hydras to start a fight, round up a large group of enemies, then use Meteors until your Mana runs out and if there are Elites, use Inferno to stick them in place and rain-free Meteors while your Mana regenerates. Get out of tough spots using Flame Shield while leaving your enemies Immobilized, Burning, and exploding behind, then calmly blow them up some more from afar. And if you run into fast mobs that are moving out of your Meteor, use the Fireball Skill to quickly take them down.

This Perfected Pyromancer Sorcerer Diablo 4 Build is an excellent option for those that want to clear a room quickly and with a bang, and it also plays very well with friends, as your Fireball Enchantment will apply to any enemy your party is facing and create explosions even when your friends get the kills. This Diablo IV Build is simple to set up and has a wide variety of options to further improve it, making it a good choice for both players that are just starting with Tier IV, and those engaged in the endgame grind.

 

 

Elementalist Sorcerer Build (Beginner Build)

The Elementalist Sorcerer Beginner Build is a highly adept AoE and burst DPS Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that focuses on mastering Fire, Ice, and Lightning Skills while also providing excellent survivability.

Overview

The general objective of this Diablo 4 Elementalist Sorcerer Build is to make your gameplay FUN. This means you'll have a varied arsenal at your disposal, with burst DPS from Fireball, some passive damage coming from Hydra, and crowd control from Slowing and Freezing enemies. You will have a simple rotation to engage in large fights: summon Hydra, cast Blizzard, Frost Nova from the middle of an enemy group then Fireball to deal explosive damage. Pop your Flame Shield for a burning damage boost then rebuild your Mana with Arc Lash to soon blow your cooldowns again.

When fighting smaller groups of enemies, a simple combo of Hydra and Fireball may be all you need, and when fighting Bosses you'll want to be versatile in how you approach your rotation to make sure you maximize the use of your cooldowns to hit the add spawns.

This is a pretty Mana-hungry Diablo IV Sorc Build, and it has mostly DPS Skills, so there are some gear recommendations that you can aim for to quickly improve your sustain and survivability.

This D4 Build can easily be evolved into any of our Sorceress Diablo 4 Builds, so you can start from this point and explore what kind of Skill or element suits you most, with a look to focus on certain Legendary Aspects as you move beyond level 30.

 

Battlemage Sorcerer Build (Level 50-70 Build)

The Battlemage Midgame Build is the advanced version of the Elementalist Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that controls the battlefield and has incredible survivability so you won't be afraid to be in the thick of battle!

Overview

The main feature of this Diablo 4 Battlemage Build is you will focus on Resistances, Barriers, and Cooldowns. You can jump into this advanced version from our D4 Elementalist Sorceress Beginner Build where you'll find that the Skills have remained pretty much the same. However, we are using them a bit differently and have put more of a focus on passives and extra boosts. 

Your main gameplay rotation will be to round up enemies and go to the middle of them, summon your Hydra for passive damage, cast Frost Nova, then spam Fireball until you don't have Mana, and use Arc Lash to build it back up and stun enemies. You will use Flame Shield and Ice Armor as your bubbles, and both can give survivability and damage. With Fire Bolt as an Enchantment, all of your direct damage applies Burning. This means your AoE Arc Lash will be doing both Lightning and Burning damage whenever you hit close enemies.

This D4 Sorc Endgame Build will be using Blizzard as an Enchantment as well, so it casts itself periodically over you every 15 seconds. This is very useful as it follows you around, so you won't have to cast it somewhere enemies moved away from. Your Blizzard, Ice Armor, and Frost Nova will Chill and Freeze enemies while your Arc Lash, Flame Shield, and Frost Nova will burn them as well. This means they'll be well-controlled and you can stop their attacks entirely while you blast away with Fireball and thin their numbers. Just make sure to ALWAYS target the purple-glowing enemies that give others elemental resistances.

 

 

Fire & Ice Sorcerer Build (Beginner Build)

The Fire & Ice Sorcerer Beginner Build is a hybrid burst DPS Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that focuses on inflicting status effects to keep control of the battlefield and destroy multiple enemies with Frost and Fire Spells.

Overview

The general strategy for this Diablo 4 Fire & Ice Sorcerer Build is to start by casting the Hydra Skill, which will be one of your primary sources of damage. This lets you summon a 4-headed Hydra that will attack on its own by spitting fireballs at several enemies. You'll then kite them using Blizzard and Frozen Orb to maintain crowd control. Both of these spells will not only inflict Chill but also Freeze targets rendering them useless on the battlefield. To be able to move fluidly, this D4 Sorc Build is going to need Teleport. This will also grant Unstoppable to remove any of the impairments you may have had before casting the Skill.

For Elites and Bosses, you're going to factor in the Inferno Skill, which lets you summon a Serpent to effectively burn them to a crisp for several seconds. This Diablo IV Build will also need an active Barrier from the Aspect of the Protector. Doing so will reduce the damage your HP takes for a certain period.

 

Pyromancer Sorcerer Build (Level 50-70 Build)

The Pyromancer Midgame Build is a burst DPS Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that focuses on casting Fire and Burning effects to melt several enemies quickly.

Overview

The highlight of this Diablo 4 Pyromancer Endgame Build is its incredible burst DPS, achieved by maximizing the use of all Fire Skills and further boosting it with gear and the Paragon System. You will have two Hydra summons at your disposal, while also enjoying frequent Flame Shields, and an Ultimate every 45 seconds or less that lets you chain-cast triple meteors, essentially melting most Elites and even dungeon Bosses. 

This Diablo IV Sorceress Endgame Build's main gameplay rotation will be to summon your Hydras to start an encounter, then position yourself wisely so enemies can be rounded up. You will cast Meteor or Fireball and kill most small enemies quickly. If there are Elites in the group, you will use Inferno to tie them together, and thanks to the passive Supreme Inferno, you now have 8 seconds to summon as many meteors as you can spam. You also have passives stacking bonuses such as more damage to Burning or Immobilized enemies from your Meteor, so fighting against large groups is your specialty.

In terms of Enchantments, this Pyromancer D4 Sorc Build will use Fireball to boost its explosion damage by up to 25% based on enemy crowds. To double down on our AoE capabilities, we'll assign Firewall as the second Enchantment, giving all our Burning damage a 5% chance to spawn two Firewalls under the enemy group.

 

 

Ice Barrage Sorcerer Build (Beginner Build)

The Ice Barrage Sorcerer Beginner Build is a burst DPS Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that focuses on crowd control and destroying enemies in one go by unleashing a barrage of Ice Shards at an unprecedented pace!

Overview

The general strategy with this Diablo 4 Ice Barrage Sorcerer Build is to make use of Frost Skills to control the battlefield. You'll usually start off by rallying enemies to you to then activate Frost Nova or Blizzard. What's great about Frost Nova is that although it has a long cooldown, you're able to not only deal massive damage, instantly making weaker foes explode but also apply the Vulnerable effect to those who survive. This can be followed through with Ice Shards to finish them off or Blizzard to continually Chill and eventually Freeze them again.

The great thing about this Diablo IV Sorceress Build is you'll rarely run out of Mana even if you use Ice Shards and Blizzard, both of which consume this resource. This is due to the Aspect of the Umbral and Aspect of Efficiency, thereby allowing you to regenerate Mana at a faster pace. 

For Elites and Bosses, this D4 Sorc Build will often trigger Ice Armor to conjure a Barrier and to be able to restore more Mana. So here, you'll activate Frost Nova to make them Vulnerable, and then Blizzard over and over again until they're Frozen. Once successful, you can simply melt them away in a matter of seconds with Ice Shards.

 

Permafrost Sorcerer Build (Level 50-70 Build)

The Permafrost Midgame Build is an AoE Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that focuses on inflicting Chill and Freeze while stacking Damage Over Time effects to quickly slaughter enemies in your path!

Overview

The highlight of this Diablo 4 Permafrost Endgame Build is its incredible crowd control and AoE DPS, which is achieved by maximizing the use of all freeze skills and further boosting it with gear and the Paragon System. You will have two Frozen Nova casts at your disposal, while also enjoying frequent Ice Armor, powerful dual casts of Frozen Orb, and an Ultimate every 60 seconds or less that gives you damage immunity while you can heal and deals AoE damage to the entire screen.

This Diablo IV Sorceress Endgame Build's main gameplay rotation will be to cast Blizzard to start an encounter, then drop Frozen Orb in the enemy's direction. Position yourself wisely so enemies can be rounded up and cast Frost Nova, then spam Frozen Orb some more. If there are Elites in the group, you can still Freeze them with your Skills, so you only need to use Deep Freeze if you feel you need a little extra boost or are running low on resources or health. 

You also have passives stacking bonuses such as more damage to Freezing or Chilled enemies, but it's important to keep in mind Bosses can be “Staggered” by filling out a posture meter under their health bar. After that, they count as under the effects of your Freeze, so you will deal +60% or more damage to them during this time. Easy enough to kill them quickly then!

In terms of Enchantments, this Permafrost D4 Sorceress Build will use Ice Shards so that it will automatically cast and target Frozen enemies. To double down on our AoE capabilities, we'll assign Frozen Orb as the second Enchantment, giving all our non-basic Skills a 20% chance to cast a Frozen Orb when used.

 

 

Lightning Speed Sorcerer Build (Level 50-70 Build)

The Lightning Speed Midgame Build is a hybrid Diablo 4 Sorcerer Build that focuses on finding the right balance between dealing single DPS, AoE damage, and crown control. Here, you'll often find yourself dealing fast attacks with great Movement Speed optimizations!

Overview

The highlight of this Diablo 4 Lightning Speed Sorcerer Build is its great speed, achieved by using Teleport as well as Attack Speed and Movement Speed Bonuses. You will also be maximizing the use of all Shock Skills and further boosting them with gear and the Paragon System. You will deal fantastic AoE damage, while also enjoying good single target melts and an Ultimate every 60 seconds or less that can kill a Nightmare Dungeon Boss in under 30 seconds.

This Diablo IV Sorceress Endgame Build's main gameplay rotation will be to cast Ball Lightning to start an encounter, then Teleport yourself into the enemy group to damage them just as you arrive. You will cast Charged Bolts to quickly kill everything around you. If there are Elites in the group, you will use Arc Lash to stun them, then use Chain Lightning to deal massive damage. For big groups, we'll also use our Ultimate Unstable Currents which will increase your Attack Speed by 25% and cast a random Shock Skill for every Shock Skill you use. You also have passives stacking bonuses such as more damage to Stunned enemies, so you can take on large groups without issues.

In terms of Enchantments, this Lightning Speed D4 Sorc Build will use Ball Lightning that gives Lucky Hits a 25% chance to spawn a static ball of lightning. To double down on our AoE damage, we'll assign Charged Bolts as the second Enchantment, giving every Stun a 40% chance to spawn 3 Charged Bolts within the enemy group.

 

 

Hydra Control - Sorcerer Build

The Hydra Control Sorcerer build in Diablo IV Beta uses the Hydra skill as the main source of damage. This build is effective in maintaining crowd control by combining Blizzard and Frozen Orb with the two summoned Hydras. With the Hydras attacking independently, the Sorceress can focus on using crowd control spells while keeping a safe distance from enemies. This build allows players to deal massive damage while keeping control of the battlefield.

Overview

This build focuses on using the Hydra skill as the primary source of damage. By summoning two Hydras and kiting enemies, you can use Blizzard and Frozen Orb to maintain crowd control. Once summoned, the Hydras attack on their own, allowing you to cast Frozen Orb to apply the "Vulnerable" status and Blizzard to freeze enemies.

By using the following skills in combination, you'll be able to deal massive damage to enemies while maintaining control of the battlefield.

Active Skills:
  • Frost Bolt - Basic Skill: This skill deals moderate damage and slows down enemies. No upgrades are required for this skill.
  • Frozen Orb - Core Skill: This skill is perfect for dealing with groups of enemies due to its chill effect and moderate damage. We'll be using the "Enhanced Frozen Orb" upgrade to increase explosion damage, and the "Greater Frozen Orb" upgrade to add the "vulnerable" effect.
  • Teleport - Defensive Skill: We'll use Teleport to relocate on the battlefield, allowing you to cast Frozen Orb and hit enemies with the explosion. You can go for the "Shimmering Teleport" upgrade if you want more defense, but it's not necessary.
  • Hydra - Conjuration Skill: This is our main DPS skill. Once summoned, the Hydra acts on its own and deals extremely high damage. It's best to cast it between you and the group of enemies to better control the battlefield. We'll be using the "Enhanced Hydra" upgrade for further damage and the "Invoked Hydra" upgrade, which increases attack speed when you critically strike.
    You can summon additional Hydras by using the "Serpentine Aspect" skill.
  • Blizzard - Mastery Skill: Blizzard has a huge area of effect and will remain active for a long time, working great in combination with the Hydras and allowing you to focus on casting Frozen Orbs. We'll be using the "Enhanced Blizzard" upgrade as well as the "Wizard's Blizzard" upgrade, which decreases the cost of Frozen Orb while Blizzard is active.
    Remember that you can cast multiple Blizzards at the same time, and they'll stack. This can be useful against powerful enemies - just cast the Hydras and spam Blizzard a couple of times, then lure the enemies into the Blizzard.
  • Inferno - Ultimate Skill: When used with the "Prime Inferno" upgrade, it will pull enemies towards the center, creating a perfect crowd control tool that allows us to cast Frozen Orbs for maximum damage.
Passive Skills
  • Glass Cannon - Defensive: This skill greatly increase our damage output but also increases the damage you take. Since we'll be fighting from a distance you should not be worried about the negative effect.
Enchantment Slot
  • Frozen Orb: Since we are maxing pout Frozen Orb for this build we'll also want to use it on our enchantment slot to have a chance to cast it whenever we use a non-basic skill.
Aspects & Combos

Hydra Buff

  • Serpentine Aspect: You may have 1x additional Hydra active, but Hydra's duration is reduced by X%.

Barrier Combo

The Barrier is great for dealing with Elites and Bosses and the combination will grant you both attack and defense.

  • Aspect of The Protector: Damaging an Elite enemy grants you a Barrier absorbing up to X damage for 10 seconds. This effect can only happen once every 30 seconds.
  • Conceited Aspect: Deal X% increased damage while you have a Barrier active.
  • Aspect of the Deflecting Barrier: While you have a Barrier active, there is a 20% chance to ignore incoming direct damage from Distant enemies.

Crowd Control Combo

Using these effects in combination with your crowd control spells such as Frozen Orb and Blizzard will greatly increase your damage output.

  • Aspect of the Umbral: Restore X of your Primary Resource when you Crowd Control an enemy.
  • Smiting Aspect: You have X% increased Critical Strike Chance against Iniured enemies. 1 While you are Healthy, you gain 28% increased Crowd Control Duration.
  • Aspect of Control: You deal 35% more damage to Immobilized, Stunned, or Frozen enemies.
 

The Immortal Lightning Sorcerer Build

The Immortal Lightning Sorcerer is a build in the Diablo IV Beta that does massive damage with Lightning Spells while shielding itself with a barrier scaling with the damage dealt.

 

This build aims to deal massive damage in close-quarters by using a specific combo of Active Abilities, while maintaining survivability using the core defensive skill of this build, Ice Armor.

The combo of this build with unupgraded skills wont take you very far. The real damage, sustain and survivability of this build comes from some specific upgrades to Active Skills: 

Enhanced Frost Nova & Mystical Frost Nova - Reduces the cooldown of Frost Nova so the cooldown rotation is faster, but more importantly makes all enemies hit Vulnerable, which creates a multitiude of opportunities for buffs with Aspects and with Ice Armor.

Enhanced Ice Armor & Mystical Ice Armor - Increases Mana Regeneration which is direly needed for Chain Lightning spam, and synergises with Frost Nova by increasing the Barrier Gain against Vulnerable enemies by 100%.

Enhanced Chain Lightning & Destructive Chain Lightning - Increases overall damage of this ability and solidifies it as the main damage dealing ability of the build, doing good Critical Damage and forming Crackling Energy.

Other Active Skills can be upgraded as you see fit.

The main combo of this build against Enemies & Bosses is to Teleport in, then use Frost Nova to make all enemies Vulnerable and/or Frozen, then pop Ice Armor, and kill enemies with Arc Lash and Chain Lightning. The regeneration of the Barrier from Ice Armor will have a 100% boost from the Vulnerable enemies, making this Barrier almost always far outscale the damage recieved from your target(s), practically making you immortal for the duration it is up. You can also do this combo without Ice Armor when up against foes that dont do much damage, since they will likely die fast to the rest of your combo. Against Bosses you can weave in your Ultimate Skill as well for a massive damage boost while dishing out this combo, meaning it will also increase the amount of Barrier you will gain.

The build doesn't end there; you can get much more damage and survivability from Aspects and Passive Skills. For Passive Skills, Glass Cannon will increase your damage by a flat percentage, while increasing damage taken by a bit which should not scare you while you have Ice Armor. Icy Veil increases the duration of Ice Armor by quite alot, also making it a necessary passive. The other passive listed, Coursing Currents, is not a neccessity but a nice passive which will increase the Critical Chance of Chain Lightning & Arc Lash by a bit.

Aspects are as follows; Aspect of the Crowded Sage will give good HP regeneration while surrounded by enemies, perfect for the close-quarters trait of this build. Storm Swell Aspect will make you do even more damage to Vulnerable Enemies while you have Ice Armor active. Conceited Aspect gives a damage percentage buff while you have Ice Armor active. Everliving Aspect will make you take less damage from the Vulnerable enemies as well. Recharging Aspect gives back some mana every time Chain Lightning bounces, which is extremely useful as Chain Lightning is our main damage dealer and consumes alot of mana. Aspect of the Unbroken Tether gives a large chance of Chain Lightning bouncing additional times, which in a roundabout way is great for mana since you get more value out of each Chain Lightning. 

Aspect of Control will make you deal more damage to Frozen enemies, which generally will not help against Bosses as Frost Nova is unlikely to Freeze, but will help in clearing large groups of Enemies who can be Frozen. Snowveiled Aspect will make you unstoppable for a few seconds after casting Ice Armor, so you wont get CC'd and instantly lose the barrier before you can charge it up with damage. Aspect of The Unwavering is an aspect which can be seen as a last stand; if your Ice Armor barrier gets outdamaged by the enemy and you lose it, this Aspect will give a percentage chance to instantly refresh its cooldown upon taking direct hits. This Aspect is not that essential, so you can replace it with anything else you feel would improve the builds damage, survivability or sustainability with Mana.

Overall, this build is fantastic for Dungeon crawling, and can be used against bosses reasonably well as you have great mobility with Teleportation, and great damage with Barrier and Vulnerable combos.
