So what are the chances that this build still works next league?

I guess we will find out next league :D

Staff is definitely going to be much more rare when abyss doesn't spawn in every map

I LOVE the idea of this build! Great job combining so many ideas together!

I'm still pretty new to POE in general and knowing what weapon set (WS) to attach to skills always confuses me.

Since WS1 is reduced duration and WS2 is increased duration, I assume it should be matched up to skills using Compressed Duration (WS1) and Prolonged Duration (WS2)? I was looking at the POB and didnt see any distinction per-ability.

So, did I do this correctly?:
Orb of Storms WS1
Ice Nova WS2
Flame Wall WS2
Elemental Weakness WS2
Frost Bomb WS2 (this one kinda confuses me because it uses Prolong Duration so I assume WS2 but we always want it to detonate faster but yeah Im guessing WS2?)

Glad you like the build : )
You are completely correct!
Weapon set 1 is reduced duration and weapon set 2 is increased, so matching with the supports. I should have worded it clearer in the guide.

As for your frost bomb question, increase and reduction to skill effect duration doesn't affect frost bomb detonation time, it only affects the exposure duration of frost bomb, which we do want to boost the duration of so it debuffs enemy longer. We also don't quite want the frost bomb to detonate quickly, since we are only using it to apply exposure rather than using its detonation damage, so the longer the detonation time is the more pulses it emits and the higher the exposure stacks! (frost bomb pulse exposure can stack on itself to boost its exposure effects), that's why we also have long fuse on it.

Seriously, you get build of the whatever. Clean up your POB it has Chaos innoc? I get what you are doing it just comes off confusing. Probably use moba instead. More tools. And....... GGG. Listen to this video and how much is going on. This is the game you are making. It is confusing as f. Why is the build of the month take a 30 minute video to badly explain what is going on? When a video is full of uh uh uh uh uh uh....... It is ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh. Just my 2 cents. The build is great. The presentation is horrid. The fact that the game is centered and built around this type of mind stupidness is even more horrid. The other fact that we know titan is going to get nerfed for Hulking form is worse.

First of all, please don't come off so aggressive, I'm happy to answer questions but would like the discussions to remain civil and calm. Now to answer your points:

1. POB links are not meant to be clicked, it's meant to be copied and pasted into your POB software which shows more details, I believe currently the website is not that good at reading POB links when directly clicked on. Importing the POB link into POB should show that chaos innoculation is replaced with sacrifice of blood using undying hate jewel.

2. If you don't want to use POB, here's the poe ninja to my character so you can view it using a browser. https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/shadowedwin624-5421/character/RamboWizard

3. I think having a complex game is exactly what's appealing of path of exile, it opens up so much possibility for exploration and fun interactions!

4. I tried to fit what I think are interesting mechanics into the build. That's why it has time stamps and chapters labeling the details into different categories.

5. I don't really like reading scripts and would like to demonstrate what I'm talking about in game as I go, and there are times I pause so I can rephrase in my mind what I want to say into a more coherent and concise sentence instead of going on a ramble as I often do otherwise. English is also technically not my first language, so it also makes it a bit disorienting when I am switching between different languages in my own thoughts. Yes you may be correct I could have recorded it much more times for a more fluent video, and yes I am still improving on my presentation skills, but I'm not a professional youtuber, nor am I writing a thesis for English Literature Major, I'm simply a player that loves the game and would like to share with everyone a fun build idea.

Thank you for the clean up.

As I said the build is well thought out.

My post wasn't intended to be toward you. Your video was fine for what you had to try to explain.

The snark was toward GGG and POE 2's mechanics. Though they are appealing to you and I am in the middle of the road with it, the masses are not going to go in to that depth and they will look at this build and be like ?????????????

Which again is not your fault. Thank you for taking your time to put this together.

If I did have a question about the build, many might ask when they should change to it and as obviously the staff is level 78ish, is there an alternate skill to lvl up with that may take advantage of tree you put together.

I don't really have a well laid out leveling guide for this character. The way I myself leveled it is just go with the same passive and gear/skills shown in this build, but replace his scattering calamity with ember fusillade until you can equip the staff.
Ember fusillade has slightly higher hover duration, and has much worse clear, but should hold itself well until you reach the level requirement for the staff.

While leveling, you can just equip the gears and skills as you level and meet their requirements, each gear does feel like a good upgrade.

Edit: Also, at early levels I'd recommend going straight toward the two reduced duration node clusters, so you can get at least 64% reduced duration, paired with compressed duration and swift affliction, ember fusillade would be good enough to use for a while.

You're a legend, thanks so much for the confirmation and insightful response!

Hi,
great build!
One question: The Undying hate has to be exactly like yours, or does the number matter?
Sorry but I still don't get how that jewell works :D

Thanks

Hi,
Great build and all the most, inspiring for my stuff.
It is smart.
Thank you for the sharing

I'm not OP but I don't think number matters, you just need Tecrod, because I have a different number of souls and I got the notable. I do think you should try and stay away from mods that add guaranteed notable passives though.

Edit: Ignore me, only read if you have the same issue? lol

Okay, I finally got to level 78 to use a level 18 version of the staff/skill and I'm SO confused. Is there an interaction I'm maybe not understand because I cannot equip the weapon is weapon slot 1, period. Only weapon slot 2 which I guess is fine if I go back and swap all my weapon set passives but.. I've never seen this before, its so weird. It doesnt have any attribute requirements so I dont know what could be causing this.

Edit: hahahahaha, WS2 takes like 2 INT attribute nodes that I was short for in WS1 LOL
