how exactly does this work? i always crash when i use blizzard even with a very healthy heat loss running. or am i supposed to blizzard then HL and consider that "crashless?" was just wondering if there was really a way to avoid the toggle drop when i want to use blizzard.

you basically get lucky, assuming heatloss is slotted for full end mod, 7+ for me is what gets me still having recov after blizzard. generally 9+ will get me about 4.00 or some end/sec but it will always be a 100% end crash, sometimes you get lucky if the recov kicks in soon enough or the +end proc kicks in.

i figured it was too good to be true.

but at least i can pop a blue and use it before blizzard wipes everything out.

its still better to use it before since you get the resistance debuff off for the entire duration of blizzard and you'll probably hit more pre blizzard than after.

true. that's the same reason i drop sleet 1st in my triple storm o' DOOOOOOM!! combo which i'm addicted to. i cant get enough of storming mobs into oblivion on the itf. especially because they're usually fulcrum boosted and the sea of orange numbers pleases me.
