Thank you for the maxroll snapshot. Thank you for respecting my time, that I don't need to scout and stop video on parts where you hover over support gems. U DA GOAT
You saved me an insane amount of time and effort. I was able to spec into this right from comet with very low gold at 74. Honestly it belts bosses faster and does a great job on mobs. I think it can be worth putting several CoF or similar Co meta gems instead of Elemental Invocation to avoid the Dexterity pit. EI Energy Gain Modifier changed to 152% from 143% with elemental invocation - 9% increase. Energy gained per power of frozen enemies from 10>12 - adjusted before scaling.
@@JMTrickz To be honest you don't need it. Get enough spirit to run x2 Cast on Freeze and have enough mana to support it, otherwise just run the one. He likes having EI so he can throw it when he's in a pinch, or to nuke down rares. I'm using The Everlasting Gaze for mana efficiency so I can easily support the build. Currently at 1.1k mana, 1,5k life and 509 ES. Using Eldritch Battery. I don't personally think the Invocation is worth all the dex investment. I need 151 int just to use my wand - I'd have to find all new gear. If the build gets nerfed then you're sitting on a massive respec from dex again. Sorc has *zero* benefit from Dex other than meeting breakpoints for using skill gems. Accuracy rating is useless with this aoe spam build.
@@omff6329 Am i not understanding what EB does? Wouldn't you have zero ES with EB? Also how do you equip CoF twice? the gem says i already have it equipped
I transitioned my Cold Chrono into more manual casting.I was already doing it but cast on freeze comet in the background was too good to pass up until now. It's working fine, but it's kinda slow. Manual Comet ( inevitable critical hourglass supercritical ) combined frostbomb+curse, and manual coldsnap ( unleash echo control destruction ) Getting the freezes from scattershot glaciation frostbolt and spell cascade icewalls. Coldsnap on the scatershot frostbolt projectile is actually a decent nuke without freezes.
@@MrStoffzor it sure does but not fireball + frost wall with spell cascade frostwall covers half the screen and the fireballs just explode everything its stupidly powerful against bosses as well i would get these gloves now before they get expensive
If your following goratha, our main problem is crit i think. he is on blood mage and his spells get base 15% crit which is huge. there is not enough crit nodes on the tree for us to be able to catch up to that with only 7% base crit i think
thanks for the build. but seriously most people i see in chat or forum didn't complain about the nerf but about they don't have a way to come back from it. not everyone play 8 hour a day and have 200-300k spare to respec the build. for me right now it's 5.5k per node. which is a lot consider i get around 3k in pure gold per map and i don't like pick up junk...... yeah
This exactly. Most people aren’t mad at the nerf, they’re mad at them killing builds and not having a good way to recover from it without completely restarting
I agree about the gold, but I can say in general chat, discord, and at least Raxx's twitch, EVERYONE was complaining about the change, nerfing something to oblivion, CoF being dead = cold being dead = sorc being dead = GGG should be sued for charging for Early Access and ruining everyone's evening. You would think that someone killed their dog with how they were raging. It was both sad and hilarious how people were reacting. I want my 1999-2001 gaming community back, not these angry toddlers we have today.
This build is honestly perfect. I was looking for something like this. I wanted to use all elements and not just use ALL lightning or ALL cold or even all fire. I was getting really annoyed with seeing single element builds. This will definitely be used as an inspiration for me to build my sorceress, thank you.
@Tenkiei you're the first POE2 channel i subbed to. Looking forward to the update to see more. Btw I know you technically convert your fire damage, but at least it's using the fireball skill. Lol.
I'm running this with Everlasting Gaze and Atziri's Disdain for nearly infinite mana and conversion to health which makes me extremely tanky also. Might be worth picking up Mind Over Matter and some MRR nodes and literally become unkillable but I'll need more levels. I'll try it around lvl80 and see. Amazing clear on this build, completed 2nd last trials :) Highly recommend picking up the neck and helmet for survivability, but will set you back around 60ex. Highest achieved burst was 600k at around 5sec on 3rd trial boss. Edit; Just got this neat jewel also - should help extra procs by stacking a few. -------- 14% increased Spell Damage Meta Skills gain 15% increased Energy Gain 10% of maximum Energy Shield as additional Stun Threshold
i ended up putting cold snap on CoF instead of comet, its cast speed is low enough that if you invest in energy gain you can get it to cast on two freezes (or every freeze if you hit that 60% to refund half energy) it does have much less aoe than comet, but it has similar damage and eats the frozen proc so i can start to freeze again if they survive. downside is you have to stay relatively close to actually trigger it properly. (thankfully(?) im blood mage, so i want to stay close anyway)
the one and only content creator actually providing solutions for the community instead of another "the nerfs are to bad, people are starting to form unions to fight GGG" video.
Which sucks because the nerfs are healthy, people are just mad that their win button got removed after they built completely into the thing that was clearly unintended and definitely too strong.
@@lightshadow3683 The nerfs are 100% healthy i agree. But the approach is far from healthy. They have a free pass because the game is in Early Access, to destroy your time investment, gold, and crafting materials, in the same time they can't make the respec free for the duration of the Early Access TO TEST things ?

lol mad ones are not mad cuz of nerf per say, they mad cuz build they copy don't work now and there's nothing else to copy. ppls now days just flock to ytube reddit n such to teach them how to play cuz they too dumb or lazy to figure something on their own.
Similar build i am working on, cast on ignite and combine it with a skill that removes ignite, firestorm i believe its called. That way I proc and remove ignite rapidly and repeatedly which causes casts on ignite to machine gun abilities. Your build has given me an idea, cast on freeze and ignite, possibly chaining into each other infinitely. Thanks man!
Love it. Im using comet raw now with spell echo, unleashed und arcane tempo. So most of the times i get 4-6 comets in one cast combined with cast on freeze and comet. Its super fun and effective against bosses.
Hey, thanks for the video. Wanted to ask what would be the priority on spending lesser jeweler orbs to get 3 assists per skill. Those orbs are very rare and limited and want to spend them correctly
Weird question but I only notice you have spirit on your amulet. How do you get the other 60 to have both CoF+Elemental Incovation on at the same time ?
I haven't played Blood Mage yet, so this could be wrong but... I think Stormweaver is going to be a lot stronger in the early game, and Blood Mage is probably stronger late game.
thank you. I have similar build but my firebolt almost not freezing. I have blueflame for sure and Freeze Buildup in the talent tree. Is it depends on damage or something?
Hi I see your build is using Energy Retention as support on Cast on Freeze. However I am in Act 1 Cruel right now and it will still take time for me to get access to level 3 supports. Therefore the solution for the nerf is not available to me yet. Should it not matter that much still though I should comfortably get to the point where i can get it still? Edit: because i am only in act 1 cruel I of course also do not have the proper setup with the 2 uniques and living bomb (would be using my cold staff still)
Great video, I was on Act 3 CoF + cold snap when GGG Thanos snapped. In your opinion, should I continue to go for this build or just switch to arch mage?
really hope GGG gives us a free respec today, thanks for the build. edit: dude thank you for this video! i have salvaged my frost sorc using these gloves and fireball + frost wall honestly... its more fun than the CoF comet spam was
I liked your build and have a similar one. I might change into yours for the sake of easiness. Especially because of fireball. But there is something I do not understand and I hope you can explain to me. What in earth am I gonna do with ice wall and how does it work? I mean I tried to trap the boss in the ice wall and used my frost bomb on it plus whatever I have but I don't see the damage there. Would really appreciate an explanation
MoM would be an excellent way to continue scaling the defenses with this setup. You can get mana/ES on gear. You'd just need a really good recovery layer.
At which level do you suggest switching to your build? I was going for the Frost ball/Comet build at first. I'm still on Act 2 in Standard mode so money is slow to get.
I switched to this last night but I made an ES version to solve defensives. Sacrifice all the mana nodes as I don't feel we struggle with mana. I'm rocking about 4k ES and 700 hp with Ghostwrithe and defenses are quite tanky. Not sure about how it will fare in end game though, not there yet.
Someone is actively price fixing the gloves right now. Can't get a reply on trade for over 50 unique listings and now the same name is posting them up for more and more. lel
I ended up finding an innsmouth shabby hood unique with decent chaos resist and 100% increased mana regen and slapped that on until I can find something better.
Goratha is doing something very similar on Blood Mage. But if you mean Chronomancer? uuh... you lose out on -40% resistance and later on a ~80% damage multi from shock so it would be severely inferior. Right now Chronomancer is in a really bad spot tbh.
I've been experimenting with Flamewall, to add damage to fireball and generate ignites for Elemental Invocation. But if you just want damage you can use Cold Snap, it's really good while clearing and triggers quickly. Just keep in mind it unfreezes bosses so you might want to take it out for those.
I have 77 dexterity currently. Your gear might be a bit different so you'll need more dex on your tree or items. I added a note with a reminder about this.
I tried…..but sadly the comet from elemental invocation need to be monitored every time when you wanna to cast it for the energy. The play style sucks at least for me….But anyway thank you for your contribution for this build….. I don’t think I will continue sor cause it’s way too weak compared with other classes, unfortunately GGG choose to nerf it and completely destroyed it….
Cast on Freeze is a meta gem, so it works a bit differently. Inspiration is supporting "Comet" and modifying the mana cost (currently going from 237 to 143) not the "Cast on Freeze" meta skill or its reservation.
@@Tenkiei Ahh, thanks. Well, mana really isn't an issue, but thanks for the build. It was expensive to finally get the gloves, but at least I can clear white mobs again (while against bosses I'm a little bit weaker than before).
He explained it, you have to get it through your amulet. Also remember you need to clear azak bog boss in act 3 cruel to get bonus spirit. in total you need 120
I would not go this route with the tree no, the crit isn't going to make a big difference and he has tons of points spent into basically choosing not to use a mana flask as much. I would take all the ES nodes 100% over that. Having 2-4k ES vs not using a mana flask as much... the only reason this hasn't bit him in the ass yet is he is still in low tier maps.
I did end up dropping the crit and going CI ---- but originally when I made the video it would have been a huge expense I couldn't afford to swap over to ES gear and do a full respec of the tree. This was far more about saving the broken CoF setup I had, not optimizing something. That said in white maps, with Cloak of Flame it felt pretty good and definitely helped me farm enough currency to stabilize my character.
Maybe when i finish leveling up my next character and they can farm the gold to respec my invoker (whose ascendency has triggers as a mechanic) I'll be able to try something like this.
Fireball is mainly used there to break ice walls for dmg on trash as we lost the frequent triggers its the most sustained way to deal good dmg outside boss fight atleast for now. Buy the gloves till they reach 15ex, bought them for 1ex😅
I can't say for sure without further testing, but for now I'd say yes. I tried Frostbolt and Eye of Winter, neither broke frost walls or cleared as efficiently.
@ Yep I did get one, but since I haven’t finished the campaign at all, I am probably missing another +30 Spirit, correct? If so, do you happen to know which zone that might be? Thank you!
The weapon set points only matter if you want to have points that change when you swap weapons. I haven't seen anyone find a way to take advantage of them
Hi, could someone please advise me on how to get the Elemental Invocation gem? I have no idea where I'm playing Sorcerer, I'm level 68 and this isn't an option to make in my games.
well, since the whole system is not wanted that way, it will probably be nerfed too. i stop playing until i get a respec or 1.0 release... big l from ggg
@@ZepTex95 Technically the added Fire Damage will be calculated pre 100% conversion so it should work. The same way the Mercs stack phys and fire damage since the gas cloud explosion are 100% phys converted to fire.
@@katastrophicbtw interesting. So I’m very curious how that works then. So if my my weapon physical damage is being converted into fire using a skill, I should only scale the converted element? Why does + 100 %elemental damage of skill on the weapon is worst than flat phys. I’m now confused hehe.
Get Dexterity/Intelligence on gear (and then swap nodes on the tree accordingly) or use a low level Spirit Gem for less Dex. I have 77 Dex so I can use a L14 Invocation.
Try using 3 cast on freeze frost bombs or 2 cast on freeze frost bombs and 1 cast on freeze fire wall in a circle, Its carrying me through crual difficulty
@stoffies I had a lot of leveling uniques to help out, so not sure if it applies to you, but I was wearing Enfolding Dawn, Lifesprig and a really good shield to head through the act with spark/flamewall. It's a decent slog.
I swapped to it in the endgame, so I'm not sure how early you can do it. But I'd guess you use Spark/Flamewall for much longer now (possibly until 65).
ICE Witches and Ice Sorceresses are good and have a lot of utility and damage. Meanwhile GGG is nerfing everything meanwhile fire witches (Like my dumbass specializing as an infernalist no less) are just left in the dumps. Never b4 has being a fire mage been so underwhelming and so so underpowered. FIRE MAGES NEED A BUFF
I tried that but not with 120 spirit. Its unplayable and hurts eyez alot if u gon constantly watching on it. Do not recommend it at all and try something else instead.

@ oof lol assumed it was auto cast like CoF. Thanks haha
@@Tenkiei Thanks for the quick fix to the recent nerfs! Powering my way through A6 to the end game thanks to your build.
Thanks
This is next.
How the hell did you get Inspiration into Cast on Freeze? The gem clearly states it doesn't work on Spirit gems?
Cast on Freeze is a meta gem, so it works a bit differently. Inspiration is supporting "Comet" and modifying the mana cost (currently going from 237 to 143) not the "Cast on Freeze" meta skill or its reservation.
@@Tenkiei Ahh, thanks. Well, mana really isn't an issue, but thanks for the build. It was expensive to finally get the gloves, but at least I can clear white mobs again (while against bosses I'm a little bit weaker than before).
HOw do you get both CoF and EE to work at the same time?
He explained it, you have to get it through your amulet.
Also remember you need to clear azak bog boss in act 3 cruel to get bonus spirit. in total you need 120
@ yeah I was missing the Act 3 buff when finishing campaign. Must’ve overlooked it. It feels decent now.
is survivability on this ok without ES? i'm towards end of act 6, and get 1-2 shot by many things, granted i dont have as strong resists as you
I would not go this route with the tree no, the crit isn't going to make a big difference and he has tons of points spent into basically choosing not to use a mana flask as much. I would take all the ES nodes 100% over that. Having 2-4k ES vs not using a mana flask as much... the only reason this hasn't bit him in the ass yet is he is still in low tier maps.
@@nfefx thanks for reply, this is what i was also thinking...
I did end up dropping the crit and going CI ---- but originally when I made the video it would have been a huge expense I couldn't afford to swap over to ES gear and do a full respec of the tree. This was far more about saving the broken CoF setup I had, not optimizing something.
That said in white maps, with Cloak of Flame it felt pretty good and definitely helped me farm enough currency to stabilize my character.
Maybe when i finish leveling up my next character and they can farm the gold to respec my invoker (whose ascendency has triggers as a mechanic) I'll be able to try something like this.
Does this build only work with those unique gloves?
You can also use frostbolt with scattershot to proc the freezes.
The gloves aren’t expensive right now though
Fireball is mainly used there to break ice walls for dmg on trash as we lost the frequent triggers its the most sustained way to deal good dmg outside boss fight atleast for now. Buy the gloves till they reach 15ex, bought them for 1ex😅
@@mattrobertson8432 Where do you buy them?
I can't say for sure without further testing, but for now I'd say yes. I tried Frostbolt and Eye of Winter, neither broke frost walls or cleared as efficiently.
How do we get x2 60 spirit to active both auras?
Spirit on your amulet.
@ Yep I did get one, but since I haven’t finished the campaign at all, I am probably missing another +30 Spirit, correct? If so, do you happen to know which zone that might be? Thank you!
+30 Spirit - King in the Mists A1
+30 Spirit Iganduk (might be misspelled) in the bog in A3
+40 Spirit Iganduk in the bog, A4 cruel.
@@Tenkiei Thank you! I appreciate it.
If blue flame is needed. Should add it on snap shot or is it not. Thought it was... Lol
It's in the snapshot.
How do you get 142 spirit?
Get an amulet with Spirit.
how much spirit do you have?
142
Is there any reason why you don't use your 24 weapon set points? That are 24 wasted passive skill points, aren't it?
They are not additional points just alternative
The weapon set points only matter if you want to have points that change when you swap weapons. I haven't seen anyone find a way to take advantage of them
Hi, could someone please advise me on how to get the Elemental Invocation gem? I have no idea where I'm playing Sorcerer, I'm level 68 and this isn't an option to make in my games.
Click "Monk" then engrave it there.
@@Tenkiei Thx
is there a gem leveling guide?
No, I swapped to this after leveling a different build.
is it works after the patch ?
Yes, this is what I did post-patch.
well, since the whole system is not wanted that way, it will probably be nerfed too. i stop playing until i get a respec or 1.0 release... big l from ggg
good lord there are so many fireballs on my screen
About that.... In my build update, I added more.
Kinda looks like you need to finish act 3 on cruel to have 120 spirit to play this build, including the 40 he has on an item
does increased fire damage work for this?
No you convert your fire damage to ice
@@ZepTex95 Technically the added Fire Damage will be calculated pre 100% conversion so it should work. The same way the Mercs stack phys and fire damage since the gas cloud explosion are 100% phys converted to fire.
@manuricher that's not how conversion works anymore.
@@katastrophicbtw interesting. So I’m very curious how that works then. So if my my weapon physical damage is being converted into fire using a skill, I should only scale the converted element? Why does + 100 %elemental damage of skill on the weapon is worst than flat phys. I’m now confused hehe.
No, all fire damage is converted to cold, thus scales off of increases to cold.
Is that After Patch ?
Yes, this is all post-patch gameplay.
Infinite frost bomb build. I am looking into it
how do you run elemental invocation? It seems like it requires 100+ dex?
level 10 requires like 46
Get Dexterity/Intelligence on gear (and then swap nodes on the tree accordingly) or use a low level Spirit Gem for less Dex. I have 77 Dex so I can use a L14 Invocation.
Try using 3 cast on freeze frost bombs or 2 cast on freeze frost bombs and 1 cast on freeze fire wall in a circle, Its carrying me through crual difficulty
at what lvl is this build viable?
You can run it at level 41 when Comet is available, but you might run into mana problem real quick.
@@chronoschord any recommendation up until then? should i follow the skilltree as he has it right now?
@stoffies I had a lot of leveling uniques to help out, so not sure if it applies to you, but I was wearing Enfolding Dawn, Lifesprig and a really good shield to head through the act with spark/flamewall. It's a decent slog.
@@chronoschord tips on skill/gems of those until i hit 41?
I swapped to it in the endgame, so I'm not sure how early you can do it. But I'd guess you use Spark/Flamewall for much longer now (possibly until 65).
ICE Witches and Ice Sorceresses are good and have a lot of utility and damage. Meanwhile GGG is nerfing everything meanwhile fire witches (Like my dumbass specializing as an infernalist no less) are just left in the dumps. Never b4 has being a fire mage been so underwhelming and so so underpowered. FIRE MAGES NEED A BUFF
Thx I bough dozens of blueflame knowing this was the fix last night
bro can i get 1 from you. Please?
so you need unique bracers for it. sadge
how can you apply freeze using fireball?
It's explained very clearly literally 1 minute in
Why the F on maxroll u placed so many attributes on DEX?
Why don't you try again, but this time ask nicely.
love
I tried that but not with 120 spirit. Its unplayable and hurts eyez alot if u gon constantly watching on it. Do not recommend it at all and try something else instead.
How your comete can be spam that much after the nerf and u spam fire skill x)
the video explains it :)
