Seems cool. Added to the guide, thanks. What are your ascendancy nodes?

Asis amulet is good and cheap, noted.

1st went for Apex to slow stuff, then went to Ultimate Command (Time Freeze).

Last i'd go for the cooldowns.

Occasional Cast speed is ok, maybe you could time your comet casts with it. However with Eye of Winter if your cast speed gets too high you run out of mana.
Where is this freeze nerf talked about? Didnt see any mentions of it on the most recent announcement.

Character and Item Balance

We’ve made Charm Modifiers on Belts substantially more common and now appear at much lower levels. The "of Symbolism" Modifier now appears from level 23 onwards, and the "of Inscription" Modifier now appears from level 64 onwards.
Electrocute is now 25% harder to buildup. (But the Damage Penalty has been removed from the Support Gem).
Added a new Lightning Damage and Electrocute Cluster to the passive tree in between the Ranger and Monk sections.
It is now more difficult to chain-freeze enemies by reducing the amount of Freeze Buildup applied after a Freeze has been applied.
The Hunter's Talisman Notable now grants +1 Charm Slot. The small passive skills leading up to it now grant the stat it formerly gave. The Charm helper text has been updated to indicate that you cannot have more than three Charm Slots unlocked, so that we can add more sources of it in the future.
Ah shit, how'd I miss that!

I just hit 75 too and invested about 10-15ish EX into some new gear. Swapping to MOM and EB and I'm starting to feel much better about clearing Maps.
Hello guys.
I've been out of the post for the last days after the CoF nerf and now the chain freeze nerf again.

I'm doing something diferent from you about the builds and i want u to opine about it.

tbh i was a player who didn't play a lot with CoF, when i changed my build to use it i got nerfed next day, so i went back to playing with what i already played, freezing everything with frostbolt and destroying all with frozen wall, coldsnap and frostbomb.

This really works, im not at the full endgame high tiers, im doing tier IV maps now and things can change, but at the momment its working a lot.

I keep using the CoF with Comet because i don't t know what is better to replace, i'm afraid to use frost wall and get stucked by myself or coldsnap and instantly remove freeze boss, so i keep the comet for bonus damage when hits.

One more thing, im big fan of the Temporal Rift chronomancer skill, saves me a lot in hard positions resetting my ES and Life.

My skills atm:
Temporal Rift - Ingenuity
Frostbolt - Scattershot | Glacination | Cold penetration
Comet - Inevitable Critical | Unleash | Arcane Tempo
Frostbomb - Magnified Effect | Spell Echo | Second Wind
Cold Snap - Controlled Destruction | Considered Casting | Elemental Focus
Frost Wall - Concentrated Effect | Spell Cascade | Icicle
CoF - Comet | Impetus
Arctic Armour - Clarity

I'm also always using the coldsnap on the frostbolt orbs to do more damage when im spamming on the white mobs. On rares mobs i use frost wall, bomb, comet etc, normal mobs just frostbolt and coldsnap to clear all them.

obs: im new poe player so i accept tips if u want to

yeah, those are all good. basically what I do for normal play. frostbolts to freeze. bombs/walls on bigger stuf. coldsnap to aoe pop smaller.
its pretty quick.

I went time snap, but yeah, lots of people swearing by temporal rift to reset mana/life/es.

as for CoF_comet...
Archmage. its just stupid good. nothing compares.

if I had enough spirit: Archmage first, +clarity, blink second, cast on freeze frost wall third. (and cast on freeze mana drain if that was an option. haha.) then grim feast, then ghost dance.
