    There aren't enough spells or passives in the game that supports a Cold build which is the core of the problem. I think outside of using a Cold Staff there are 2 Cold spells with one of them is an Ultimate. As far as I know, there aren't any classes that also support Cold damage as any advantage, it's ZoS *** child element that they discourage players from using.

    High elf has the elemental passive and dark elf will get it in August. The shield ice staff gives you is crap but it can be used as cc

    Ice is complete trash.
    Switch ice with a dark staff.
    or undead staff.
    something evil.
    evil staff of darkening of the undead?

    I believe there is a set that helps with an ice build, but I can't remember what's is called, I'm sure someone will mention it.

    Winterborn

    I think it can be combined with Ice Furnace, but you need to go 5 heavy

    A quick theory craft for the next patch:

    Race, Dunmer/Altmer

    Class, DK, vMSA ice staff

    skills: burning embers, elemental ring, molten armaments, blockade, inner light, U Ice Comet
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    Sorcs can make use of it in a group, but only if you use blockade and ice comet with winterborn set for CC reasons. And even then, sorc passives mean you're probably more useful with a lightning staff.

    There is a mag sorc ice build, that has been posted on the forums a few times, but i am too lazy to search it for you. 5xwinterborn, 2xnerenieth,3xwp jew, 2xice maelstrom staff

    One of the basic idea is to have as much winterborn & nerenieth uptime as possible for the obvious reasons.

    Here is a thread with details about it in the german forum:

    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/de/discussion/261050/nerieneth-winterkind-sorc-der-frost-lich

    (at the bottom there are some dps parses for vWGT/vICP, which range from 20 to 35k)

    some people commented that they run this with 5xwinter+5xjuli/tbs, but where the fun in that :)

    the biggest selling point seems to be the sound ^^

    Nerieneth doesn't procs on DoTs anymore. I'm quite sure (I wanted that build, but I saw that Neri tooltip changed)

    A new Ice damage build is possible now with Update 11.

    Best on a Dragonknight, but I will use Sorcerer to test it out.

    5x Winterborn
    5x Ice Furnace
    1x The Maelstrom's Ice Staff
    1x The Maelstrom's Restoration Staff

    Believe me, built correctly this will be a legit powerful setup. My Sorc just needs to find the jewelry and two armor pieces for Ice Furnace which people will overprice for the first month or two.
