You should use necro shards brace OR emberdrake shards charm with gele wand. Best would be to use double necro braces :1 shards 1 blast. Also, no idea how u get similar dps with mordri book and gele wand unless you have no recast gear, but no point in doing like this unless you are lures mage.

All mages need CDR gear, no gear available in the game makes CDR obsolete. Where the choices come in is what gear do you trash in place of a CDR item.
Currently the best option for ice mages is necral braces for blast and shards (as hoarfrost runestone > mordy blast brace and gele braces are trash for casters, and prot braces... if you think prot braces are even usable for mages
).
If you can’t get that then try substituting in a emberdrake iceshard CDR misc in place of hoarfrost runestone and a mordy blast brace in place of the necro one.
Both of these builds optimize the weapon spot for the amazing gele wands.
If you can’t achieve either of these builds however, the hrung skull becomes your best choice.
Feel free to pm me about anything or talk to me in game
