Current links for starting endgame CoF build. Subject to change; still testing a lot: Frostbolt + Wildshards + Glaciation + Acceleration Comet + Unleash + Inevitable Crit + Arcane Tempo Cast on Freeze + Cold Snap + Impetus + Spell Echo Frost Wall + Icicle + Considered Casting + Controlled Destruction Hypothermia + Heightened Curse + Persistence + Inspiration Frost Bomb + Strip Away + Spell Cascade + Fast Forward If a fight is purely single target, you could swap in Ice Nova for Cold Snap so you don't consume freezes on the boss and have more time for Comet casts
dude.. look at that gameplay and tell me that is fine. are you drunk? Single orb, almost no proccs and running away from the same 5 mobs for 20 seconds trying to kill them
Glad to see you back, Shak! I've played and really enjoyed your vortex cold snap build in POE1 for many, many hours. You're one of my favourite POE RUclipsrs.
Cast on Freeze Cold snap was bugged at least in the previous patch (haven't tested with the latest hotfix) : Once you consumed the freeze on a target, it would no longer buildup freeze ever. Obviously this doesn't happen with regular Cold Snap self casted. Not necessarily too big a deal when mapping if your damage is enough to kill even rares in a single freeze + comet self cast, but for bosses this is terrible.
Just out of curiosity, what does a second coldsnap from spell echo do? Shouldnt the first one remove freeze and the second one therefore wouldnt have anything to consume? Maybe Im understanding this incorrectly!
Definitely agree. Talked about this on stream and forgot to mention since I was recording at like 3am, but you have the option of swapping out Cold Snap for Ice Nova for single target if you have trouble landing the Comets or other skills. Not perfect but again the build is still functional and I'm continuing to test as much as I'm able
I have always liked your content Shak great to see you making more. I wish you, your family and everyone a Very Merry Christmas, A Happy and Prosperous New Year and a safe holiday season. Cheers.
Winterbrand for poe 2 guide when? This is basically the same build u do before you swap to comet when you get it, u just don't swap to comet now. The problem isn't the increased energy for comet, but the energy gain from mobs. Anyway the trigger gems are dead with the change they did. On bosses they are okay but on trash they are also trash.
I appreciate your effort to bring a solution to what GGG just did but its not working fine, now CoF is struggling to kill MAGIC monsters.. I will not even talk about unique and bosses. Build is dead just swap to any spell damage build or archmage.
You had to run halfway through a map backwards from a mob before you could kill it, how is that "still alive"... the spec is nuked, bricked, gone, dead, hasta la vista...
Yeah, no. This is a god awful take - even the gameplay you're showcasing, the build looks like utter dogshit. The build is dead and you need to move to to the acceptance phase of our grief
Yeah nah. That took the same amount of time to kill as not using cast on freeze would take. Therefore no point in using the skill. My archmage lightning sorc actually kills way faster than you did here.

copium nomnom
I totally agree, its obviously NOT alive
Amount of copium is insane.
41% energy per freeze. 1 Cold snap every 3 freezes... And this is t1 map. Bro is not being honest

Thank you! Feels good to be back playing Cold skills
? You back? The master of vortex is back?

Cold snap removes freeze making it a much weaker option especially for bosses

Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun in PoE 2 and looking forward to making more content!
40 second fight vs 1 rare mob - still alive ^^ hahahaha
Oh, yeah, it's back LMAO.

but that is awful clear my friend , no idea what u are talking about probably u never played poe before
Yeah, no. This is a god awful take - even the gameplay you're showcasing, the build looks like utter dogshit. The build is dead and you need to move to to the acceptance phase of our grief

shitty take to cope with this it should not take that much effort to proc a cast on freeze
