Frost Sphere

 is an active skill used by Sorcerers.

Frost Sphere can be performed with a disc by the Sorcerer to deal damage up to 18 meters away. It can hit multiple enemies on its way, but damage is shared among them (as this it not AOE skill). Enemies hit are slowed for a short time for 20% of their movement speed. Amount of damage dealt varies dependent on skill rank.

This skill was added in sorcerer revamp (NA: Spellbound patch, EU Portentous Rebirth) in October 2016. It replaced Ice Needle.

In PvP this skill is used to stagger opponent and slow opponent. However, this is projectile attack and travels slowly, which makes it easy to dodge. Lightning Strike is better stagger. Frost Sphere can speed up casting Mindblast by 40%. However, sorcerer is rarely used to set up situations like this in current PVP. Using slowing effects or stuns is generally more advantageous.

in PVE this skill is mainly used as low damage filler while no real damage skills are available. After Apex it can be used to give Ice element to your Fusion skills.

Using Noctenium increases skill damage.

There is Talent available to give this skill additional Frostbite effect to slow opponent even more (10% per stack with maximum 4 with 28% change). Don't waste your points on this skill, Hail Storm is far more effective in this purpose or Painblast in PVP.
