Literally my first time playing this class as soon as i unlocked firewall and spam sparks through it and saw the damage output you can do on the 2nd boss outside of clearfell boss my jaw dropped. But you are indeed very VERY squishy your hp will drop fast if you dont pay attention to it. This class has so much cool ability combos that just feels good.
You can cast frost nova on frost bolts, making it much more versatile and stacking freeze very quickly. Probably harder to do on controller, which is my primary issue with controller, it really makes it difficult to be precise with ranged abilities. Thanks for the guide.
Frost nova is not great overall but it's a situational skill. If you get in a bad spot you can just freeze everything around you with the right support gems
It's worth mentioning that frost bomb applies cold exposure which is reason in itself to use it. Also regarding Frost Nova, I've found it to be particularly effective, not for it's damage but for the push back effect. Try buffing it with gems that repeat it's casting to push back multiple times, which makes it particularly useful for crowd control (use it to push enemies into your aoe's),
9:10 You can target your frostbolt with frost nova. I'm a newb and have already found this useful. You can keep spamming the nova on the bolt, wrecking many incoming mobs!
Frost nova with one support can cast three times with a single press of the button. Freezes and/or pushes enemies that get to close. Very good defensive skill. Can be used with with frost bolt to cast Frost Nova where the orb is instead of around you. So great ice combo!
@Youniversou1 I'm at work currently and can't remember the name, but how it reads it mentions building up charges or stacks. What it actually does is auto charge the ability, and you can see a number on the ability itself, and it starts at 1 and stops at 3. Ticks up each second. So in three seconds, you have max stacks/charges, and when you cast it, it drops three casts for the price of one and then proceeds to charge up in three seconds to do it again. Once I get home tomorrow I'll have to look, but hopefully you can find it. It's rank 1 support so you can get it immediately.
While I'm biased to lightening/flames, frost bomb is amazing on clustered enemies. I ran into trouble on my first attempt at a trial with a serpent mob which regenerates life faster than I can take it down, even with constant flame-wall, spark and frost bomb. Maybe freeze is the way to go on that one...
I think damage output is massively underwhelming, especially as a Lightning Sorceress. I have basically all the "damage increases" on the passive skill tree I can get my hands on (lvl currenly) & I'm really struggling with my damage output. Now I finally finished my trial to do my ascendency & choose Stormweaver, but damage is still underwhelming for me.

Guys, just get some early energy shield nodes and resistances on gear (rule of thumb is atleast same resistances as your level) and to me sorc is one of the most survivable classes in game. Energy shield works wonders for you if you invest in it, and frost/chill for CC solves any meele/physical damage. My sweet spot was 100percent faster start of ES recharge (so 2 seconds), combined with ice nova/frost wall skills. If you take too much damage, just ice nova meele or frostwall ranged and retreat for few sec. I have 0 armor, 0 evasion for whole game, and die extremely rarely
I got a really good ice stave early on in act 1 and its been making my cryomancer build work amazingly. A 64% boost to spell damage and 50% boost to cold damage. Ive been mainly focusing Cryo with some fire boosts here and there. Lightning seems to be the best but Ice is way too fun
Would y'all recommend evasion or armor? I usually try to roll out of damage but I feel like I'm flying fast now. I'm lvl 25 and this is my first playthrough with sorcerer and Poe in general. Thanks in advance!
Was "cruising" in this game until the end of act 3. Now if a boss has a timer i cant seem to finish them in time. Level 40 stormweaver with chill as primary. Id say my passive tree isnt great but its my first arpg ever. Really love the game.
I always like the look and idea of playing games like this - such as Diablo - as a spell slinger type, but i dont' know, its just way too complicated and busy and repetative and grindy and you can't make you own character so :/ might just watch a playthrough when it comes out instead. is there even a good story?
Story feels somewhat distant so far in early access, but good when it comes through. I agree with CRPGs like this, they're simultaneously one of the more complex yet painfully simple game genres. Reminds of things like Vampire Survivors.
They really aren't all that complicated as long as you take your time. If you really need to create your own character and want a simpler experience you could try out Diablo 4. Otherwise wait till this full releases as free to play and give it a shot. There are plenty of guides for both if you do get confused. The stories for these types of games are usually serviceable, but are there to push you forward into new areas, not so much to create drama or elicit emotion. POE 2 is much the same, but if you play as the warrior the story does feel more personal as the town destroyed in the first act is his home. However, if you read everything and exhaust every dialogue tree there is a ton of lore in poe 2.
Would it be better to just focus on two elements instead of three? I was wanting to make a lightning/ice build but not sure how to build her. Already got my deadeye ranger to lvl 70 so the lvl 3 support gems is helping alot
Can you use both a focus and a staff in one weapon set. To take the benefits. Or can you put a focus in your second hand and reap the benefits even though you're not using second hand weapon?
I like the video but I really wish you would show the support gems as you talk about them because the support gyms go a billion different directions and I'm not going to lie they're really annoying. Huge long time Diablo player but I'm really having an odd frustrating time with support Jim understanding in this game because a lot of them don't make sense
I hate the mechanic of cold snap. I play with controller,vso it doesn't target the frozen enemy. Add to this that you can't be running away cause then you aren't looking towards the frozen guy and can't snap it.
17 дней назад+1
you can if you map cold snap to RT/RB. Then you can move away from target, use right stick to aim for opposite direction and use coldsnap in aimed direction. I have eye of winter and cold snapped mapped this way, and it works great for kiting, even tho you need a bit practice (unlike with mouse/wsad). You can technically use 4 spells this way RT/RB and LT+RT/RB. Also when running away, I sometimes do dodge roll, quickly move left stick to opposite direction and queue cast my spell, as soon as it fires I continue moving the previous direction.
@jamesbrice3267 you can in theory, but auto aim as very aggressive and overrides your input sometimes, and you can't use 4 of your abilities mapped on your a, b, x, y buttons because to press them you need to let go of right stick (and auto aim takes over when you do)
Don’t really know how PoE works but I know some games do this so just curious if the class is gender-locked since sorcer*ess* implies a female character. (I guess can you play male or female character for any class lol)
Currently, the classes are characters, so you can't pick, although I guess in coop they can be duplicated so.. maybe eventually? The game is in EA and missing basic convenience like allowing non-unique names for characters since they are already linked to your account or picking gender. It's unfortunate. However, you could, for example, make an invoker monk that mostly casts elemental spells, since you pick which attributes, skills and passives you want. The only things a class does is determine where you start on the passive tree and specialization.
My account has been blocked for over 20 days without any reason, I have sent over 30 emails and they don't give me a solution and even worse, they don't respond to me, I paid for early access, bought stashes, invested money in this garbage game and I feel robbed and scammed, a great lack of seriousness and responsibility from these people I am from Latin America and I feel scammed by this shitty game...

It’s not that bad on controller but I haven’t tried MnK so maybe I don’t know no better
My ranger will constantly turn around and shoot at nothing while the enemy infront of me is highlighted
With cold snap, it's a great 1-2-3 punch!
Frost nova is not great overall but it's a situational skill. If you get in a bad spot you can just freeze everything around you with the right support gems
Yes it’s annoying casting cold snap doesn’t trigger on controller

Ice nova works well with frost bolt, the novas come from the bolts.

Staff takes up 2
U can use focus and wand but not focus and staff

Yes I’m using it now on control and it’s pissing me off I’m backing up and I both shoot and cold snap in opposite direction
Can't you crab walk with controller?

Something to petition the devs about given its importance.
Why would you want to use a focus? What’s the point
Just for the stats if you’re using a wand

Genderthings are the last priority this game needs to make currently with how crap it is.
Classes are genderlocked, which I don't mind since that was how diablo 2 was. I see it less as playing a class and more as playing a character.
Honestly I would have liked to see at least one of the mages as a kind of male wizard archetype, well at least we'll have the templar...
