Also recoup setup has infinite mana with Scold's Bridle helmet that grant up to 100% of manacost taken as physical damage, then you get a bit above 100% mana recoup and you trigger Comets infinitely. Plus Zenith 2 support that is insane for this setup, it give 30% more damage and also give 25% of manacost recoup.

Alright, I'm in.

P.s. Great take, good job. I already saw that Cold Chrono at its peak now.

Now lemme cook smth too.

Has anyone got a set up that combines it with recoup? would it even be possible? sorry im alittle new to build crafting so not a clue where to start

Check a post on a previous page from Void_xy. It is possible, and I'll do smth about it in my build too.

Please note, I neither play much atm, nor have a currency to make it today.

Nice work Paintmaster.

what are you actually using frostbolt in those setups for?

Almost stepping in Act 4 as Bowceress xD
I think I'll do my first two ascendancies then start respeccing in Act 4 and setup things. I have currency, gems, etc. It would not be a problem.
Which nodes to pick first? Apex of the Moment?

Edit: Maligaro cost 2 div whaaaa????

For clearing, whate else lol
I tried it only in recoup setup, but you can use in normal build too, frostbolt is good, probably because of quicksand hourglass and new supports Vilenta's Propulsion that give lots of proj speed and Sione's Temper that is basically upgraded Wildshard that proc more often.

CamPAIN done. I gunned with bow till Act 4 then respec and switch to freeze. It was absolutely horrendous but I managed. Blasphemy/TC really was my ahh saviour. Seems like I went too fast and not even level 65 somehow.



Well, I stop for today. Need to fix everything now, like res and stuff. Dunno how I am gonna scale ES further outside of gear. But this is like way more than in my previous runs. There is no way you can scale life that much in campaign as ES. Wanna hit at least 4K ES till swill to CI. Anyway the build is full freeze. Complete doodoo right now. Currenty scaling crit and CoCrit/trigger nodes. It started to feel like something after level 58. Thanks to temporal chains.
Not gonna go for Snakepit and Maligaro setup. Those things are really expensive right now.

2k ES in campaign is huge amount, unless you bought some cheap ES gear.
I was at 2.8k doing full Sekhemas run and T15 maps xD

Not sure if CI even needed, i never took it and never really felt need to take it, rarely there's chaos damage than bypass ES, very rarely.
Build is really hungry for points, and taking CI will require you taking some stun threshold as well just to not get stunned by every hit.

Also highly recommend going Ice Nova + CoA Comets early, with Elemental Equilibrium, very very good clearing because Ice Nova has huge freeze build up which works very well for CoA, and enough even for bosses.

I hate this ai vomit that is infesting PoE builds all over the place...
Generative ai is built on theft, you're spitting in the face of every creative who worked on this game by using it...

Just disgusting...
It doesn't even look good to begin with either it all looks like the same weird artificial overly detailed slop that no actual human being would ever make.
There's literally no good or justifiable reason to use it..

Okay. Almost level 90.Tomorrow I wanna try to do a Chaos run for the last 4 ascendancy points.
I have a decent wand that I equipped at level 65 and things started to ramp up significantly after that. I got rid of Ice Nova, Snap. Almost never use Frost Wall on maps. Now it's just Frostbolt spam. I am walking like untouchable object. Playing basketball around the enemies and casting nukes right into Abyssal holes. I stacked around 430% CDMG bonus. The damage is good but I think I can do more if I... upgrade the wand. But honestly I kinda not sure.
As I said I have a decent level 65, +4 to cold wand with 60% to cold damage, 70% spell damage and crit chance of course. However 78+ level wands having Elem damage% so I see ppl ditched Cold damage% for it. I never played Sorc after 0.1 so I can't remember all the intricacies. I just wonder now if it will pays off if I switch to like 80% elemental damage and 80% spell damage, +4 to cold wand for example.

I'm currently testing my stuff, and got out of currency. Farmed 10 divines recently, barely was able to get the items and fix res (I realy think i should just scale my thing instead of doing recoup switch).

Funny thing here is, i found a top dps build on poe.2ninja, tried to put there my gear, and it does like 7 times less paper dps.

Gear matters a lot in this game.

Answering your question, yes, damage matters, but in your case, getting 30% increased damage equals like 5% more damage. If you can get it for cheap - why not. If it significantly more expensive - forget about it for now.

Increased damage worth it, if it equals 10% more damage and more.

You'd better to get +5 cold then, if you are running pure cold build.
