Crit Eye/Comet Chronomancer (Nerf Safe)
|
Here's my build - Crit Eye of Winter and Comet with frost wall and frost bolt utility and blink.
This build is not dependent on freeze buildup, and should be fine with the nerf to freeze. T15 map clip: https://www.twitch.tv/seedersj/clip/SneakyPlacidGarageSaltBae-bPx4ASQQO7pnbyPu Finished all map quests through T15, currently Level 88. 7700 ES, CI Eye of Winter has ~50% crit chance and ~350% crit dmg. Comet is 60% and ~450%. Keep in mind Eye of Winter applies critical weakness, which makes the CC higher.   EoW - Considered Casting, Ricochet, Acceleration/Fork, Extraction Comet - Unleash, Spell Echo, Inevitable Critical, Supercritical Frost Wall - Glaciation, Font of Mana, Icicle, Frost Nexus Frost Bolt - Wildshards, Scattershot, Arcane Tempo Arctic Armor - Cold Mastery, Bludgeon, Deep Freeze Blink - Second Wind, Ingenuity Time Freeze - Persistence, Magnified Effect Gear: Probably nowhere near best in slot. I know gloves can have crit on them. Rings could be better. Amulet is the worst roll possible. The chest piece could have spirit on it allowing more buffs. Wand:

It is annointed with Shrapnel, which is a relatively cheap anoint that gives us extra pierce and terrain bounce. Another important mod on your boots is Reduced Freeze Duration. Freeze will prevent you from escaping, and you will die often in the tower maps. Skill Rotation: Drop Frost Walls. Cast Frost bolts to get chilled ground. Start firing Eye of Winter over the Chilled ground for bonus damage. Stand near Frost Walls for protection and more mana regen. Drop comets when you see the opportunity. They delete rares.

Hi,
Can you do a skill tree mapping layout guide when you get a chance? Thank you for the build. I'm gonna try it out on a new character. Also, can you comment/show your ascendancy skill tree? Last edited by RaynGlaive#0776 on Dec 17, 2024, 5:38:02 PM

" Hey, I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean what order you should take for leveling? I would respec in to crit later on when you have enough points. For leveling it will probably feel pretty bad to go instantly into crit on the tree. I would go for cold damage nodes, or whatever supports the skills you want to level with. You could level in fire or lightning damage and respec in to crit if you wanted. I use cold skills with crit because the base crit is so high on cold skills. Also Eye of Winter applies Critical Weakness, so you can stack that and then drop a comet for better crit chance. But you dont even get Eye of Winter or Comet until much later in the campaign.

Heyo! I appreciate you breaking down your wand specs, but is there any chance you would be willing to give details for all your gear (probably in an imgur or something so you don't need to type it all?)
I'm in A3C playing Frost Sorc, but am really starting to feel my gear. I know that I need to be looking towards maxing my resistances, but some guides beyond that for someone new to poe2 would be super useful. Even if that's a bit much though, thanks for the stuff you've already posted! I've been relying on Freezing Shards for the most part, gonna try pivoting to this skill setup that you've got rocking |

Just wanted to thank you soooo much for this build! After respecing into many different ones and spending milions of gold on it, finally found one that feels great to play!

Tahnk you so much for your Build (:
i am going to try it as a Co-Op Build / Freez Support ^^ do you think it is a wise idea to maybe put in a armor/ez hybrid shield for some block chance and some 20%+ ish armor? |
|
|
I likely missed it, but what are your ascendancy choices? Did you beeline straight to Time Freeze?

I hope you will post your advancments in this thread! |
