(Outdated)Frostbolt/Eye of Winter, Coldsnap, Cast on freeze Comet

how the build now after patch? totaly not working?

Rip I guess?

I switched into this on the nerf. It seems fine so far. Slower but still good. A lot better on bosses than the build I came from.

Is cast on crit better than cof now? I don't see how frequent you need to crit and how much points you need to spend on tree for extra crit chance.. It seems still bad?

freeze mobs, throw up a frost wall to block projectiles, manual cast comet

it still works,and in some ways it feels better/smoother because cast on freeze wasn't always reliable, whereas setting up the manual comet on frozen enemies is.

that said, with the speed/setup/clunkiness we have now,

you might as well play spark or lightning arrow and insta-melt everything if you want zoom zoom.

And then that will get nerfed etc… not even a week into it and they annihilated the build. I’m sure they’ll keep doing the same to every viable build Sad

Are you sure about the reroll ? The way I see it, they target any build that can zoom zoom easily. So they will also "kill" any build that does just that, it's just a matter of time. :p

I'm now trying a subpar build that will most likely not be hit by the hammer nerf, well until they decide to offer free respec when they do so at least. ^^

I think if you focus on area of damage and cast speed in tree, comet becomes itself kinda killer skill. Especially with arcane surge, it takes shorter to cast it, and single cast nearly clears the half of the screen (and even if it doesn't, it freezes the shit out the rest).

Nevertheless, I will rerol partially my tree to get some crit chance passives, and see how CoC holds compared to CoF. I think CoF is still viable option, as crits are not really that frequent.

Good luck self-casting in high tier maps. They teleport/jump to you or are hasted so much by map mods and mob mods that self-casting a comet, even with double cast speed, is a joke.. Doesn't work unless you freeze them first and keep them frozen.
