Wanted to share my skill tree, was feeling pretty good about adding From-Nothing with Whispers of Doom, allowed it to tech into a lot of beneficial notable passives and combined with a timelost-sapphire, adds up to 42% critrate, 7% mana on kill and 77% curse aoe

Decent take. I wish I learned about timeless jewels a bit earlier.

Respect for using projectile speed wheel =) Really loved Frostbolt's experience with it.

Ruz has a fantastic showcase of ice nova in simu but it turns out their gear is a bit out of my price range for messing around. I think the jewels alone are worth 400div. That being said, Ruz isn't running MoM or EB. Almost 10K ES with 3K mana, looks very tanky. Focus, no scepter, lot of differences beyond just running ice nova.

Looks very tanky indeed.

I have 50% crit on frostbolt and 60.75% on Comet without the Maligaro and with suboptimal Sapphire.

Is it useless to get more than 50% crit on frostbolt?

Yes, bc of Ambush support.

Can anyone help me improve my Comet damage? It's currently at 110,000 and I'm not sure which way to go for upgrades.

I'm Lv93 1.8k ES, 3.8k mana.

Is that damage under all buffs and with concentrated effect/elemental focus instead of impetus/energy retention? You should swap gems for bosses.
Also, all buffs almost double your damage: Soul Offering, Echoing chill/shock, Stormcharged.

Anyway:



Archmage 20/20% is big af.

Still much better than mine. Your gem is level 20? I am not sure how much one can get with this build. Hard to go past lvl 27 with comet (without crazy jewels). And with 3.8k mana, you are already high on the archmage

Hey, thank you. I've been struggling to figure out what to improve for a week-ish and didn't expect a reply if I posted on the forum, so thanks for that.

I input my exact items and passive tree into mobalytics here: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/7200d0fd-5162-48b1-a98e-bcdf4728531b/builds/abe4ab77-92fd-4e4c-af7b-89a37ec5c0f8

ES was 1,337, Mana is 3,767. 75% RES. My jewels have Increased Spell Damage, Crit, mana on kill.

I had a couple of questions if you don't mind.

I have a Lv20 spirit gem ready to upgrade something, is the upgrade only for 0.05 mana reduction in spell cost? And which gems should I change while bossing?



I also have a controlled metamorphosis ready to go, just not enough skill points for it. All my gems are 20% level 19/20 where I can.

Any advice you could give me to step up my build/items would be very appreciated, I have around 30divine available.

My hideout Comet damage:

For anyone who hasn't invested in it, comet level 21 is a big damage boost for extremely low investment. They're like 300-350ex.

I thought the +1 level from corruption was doing nothing

rrally struggling to find a good endgame belt. the ones with 3charms have only 2 solts for resistance. is it really worth it? i never understood charm but I die sometimes in breach when they are enemies everywhere and my walls are on cooldown
