⬆Build planner link is in the description!⬆ I know the guide is LONG, but there is a lot to explain and apparently a lot of players aren't in endgame still, so that's why I made the video, so that newer players can get there too. Is it the highest DPS build in POE 2? Ofcourse not... but I have been enjoying the playstyle regardless! Hopefully it helps! 🙌
@trackstar curious about your thoughts on your comet build with the nodes in skill tree to make projectile spells cast two more projectiles. Do you know if with this build, comet will cast 3 comets with all the extra drops.. in essence, making 12 comets drop with one cast. I'm working on a build like that, but I'm not far enough yet.
@@jullianpree6791 I thought the same thing but I believe it was only working on frostbolt since comet might not be considered a "projectile" spell (from my testing).
@@DeadlySwords8 I'm having no issues in the Maps Endgame and my build seems unaffected by the recent patch. Also, sustain isn't an issue once you get it setup right with mana regen, reduced mana cost, and gain mana per enemy killed. I believe this build will last for a while as there are far more "OP" builds out there doing an absurd amount of damage that GGG will most likely balance first... but I could be wrong lol.😂
I like how you explained the build. First time PoE players like me sometimes have a hard time understanding the guides of other creators but your guide is very easy to follow. Thanks.
I really appreciate this! I thought the video was really long, but I figured people could use the timestamps to go where they needed plus I catered it towards new players so I thought is was necessary! Thanks for the feedback! 🙌🙏
This was a great build guide! I really appreciate how you explained why you took what you did and showed how it works with very clear explanations. Im just lvl 19 (unfortunately I'm a casual gamer due to work / family obligations) but I'm going to be using this build now. Really appreciate the time and care you put into this video! I just subscribed.
I really like your presentation/explanation of each skill which accompanied clips to explain how it works and how it uses. This definitely is a good help for beginner to understand the mechanic behind. I watched many videos concerning POE 2 recently, but most of them hardly present/explain well. Keep it up! 😂😂😂
Great build. Nice and clear what you take and why. I used this as a templet for my own forst build. Also one of the few chronomancer guides i could find online. In the endgame i tend to also take alot of the def notes to stay alive in maps. Overexposure also seems worth it imo. And thin ice is great for this build only comet on frozen targets makes this talent insane imo
btw the skill tree perk giving a chance for 2 additional fdoesnt work on comet cuz comet isnt a projectile lol but u cant even get comet until your almost done with act 3 lol but good act 3 video
Can you please tell me how you maintain manna regeneration . Ie what's best on passive tree. Thank you so much 💓 Great video. I'm running the same build , but it's always good to get more good information on this amazing build.
Mana regen on my off hand and maybe other gear pieces if you are lucky, also mana per enemy killed on my gauntlets is huge for instantly getting mana back when clearing out mobs. I had to rely on mana pots until I got decent gear to help me with sustain in the early game.
yeah you could do that, there's so many combinations that it really depends on what you want. I just like being able to cast more comets since that is our main source of DPS and nova is already great at getting enemies frozen quickly so that's why i put it on comet instead. But its not a bad idea though! might have to try it. 🙌
I also went with frost chronomancer because the class fantasy of it is just so cool, but I went the recoup route instead. Pretty much the only way I can die is if I get one shot. Also I’ve found that I prefer the basic frost wall. The circle is neat on bosses sure, but to me the biggest use is actually dealing with swarms. Being able to just block off a choke point and putting a frost bomb under it kills all small enemies, cold snap any survivors which also detonates the wall and we’re golden lol.
Very good. Looking forward to gain the 1 lvl to 41 to use the meteor but it is good to know that my build isnt that different BUT i didnt see you can use the nova under the frostbolt lul ^^
Thanks for the build. Ive been lightning since day 1 and im gettin bored of it. It just so happens every build i look up is lightning as well, so i appreciate something new.
ty, im also playing chronomancer and using similar build made myself with frost walls etc but with fireballs and firewalls with raging spirits for better dps.. but it feels sooo slow and weird -> build defences, freeeze most mobs-> comet, go 10m, repeat.. dont like it, i would rather go without stopping and kill everything while moving.. still learning
Dunno why evryone crying about frost mage, yeah devs nerfed cast on freeze to some extent now it procs only once in a while, but still works, Im in act 2 cruel, I stromed act 1 cruel with easy breeez. Now in act 2 same. Maybe Im not so fast as Spark mages because frost bolt is quite slow and sends only few projectiles, but I'm just freezing everyone on the first ball and finishing with snap, big groups or chunky monsters use wall and comet manually, also Im using Wand and summoner staff at the same time. Skeletal warriors are best meat shields and giving me spare room and protection
I love the fact that people complained about there builds getting nerfed (because they were using broken/OP builds) but im over here with my Frost Sorc untouched lol. the playstyle is a bit slower but freezing blazing fast enemies that come in to view is HUGE so you dont get swarmed and being able to range elites/magic mobs with comet at a distance is super fun! 😂
I'm about to finish my first play through as frost Sorc. It feels pretty strong still. Going to multi projectile build. Cast frost bolt with extra projectiles 30% right now. Will be 50% by the end. Hoping it procs on comet when I get to it 👍🏾
I feel like fortress is a bit unnecessary on frost wall, it gives you a bit more buildup but wouldn’t the 50% damage loss just balance out considering with the normal wall you can easily hit half your walls on any target you cast it on. Just seems like a wasted slot in my opinion.
Cast of Freeze needs to be activated just like Frost Amour so check if you have the 60 Spirit required (but yes it was nerfed for normal mobs but somewhat still works for bosses)
yeah I have 100 spirit, I also dropped my skeletal frost mage, and all of the support gems that have spirit as well, but it still wouldn't activate for me. its fine cuz I like arctic armour for the freezing effect when enemies try to attack me.
@@ender_cz The nerf hit it hard, only bosses give any good amount of energy and if the boss does not spawn adds its going to take time to get the freeze´s needed to trigger
Got here because I got bored of the required combos from my own ice sorc... but I guess every ice sorc has to play like that .. I'm so close to switch to the braindead sparkbuild with flamewall...
VERY misleading title and bad video bcuz of that. I clicked on this expecting to see a Sorc build in Act 3. you NEVER show this. And dont come here sayn "just figure out act 3 stuff from my build" cuz thats BS
That’s a lot of work to do 1 simple thing. Kill monsters. Cof comet was fun in an arpg. Mapping without sustained damage sucks. Treating each pack like a boss is why people are pissed about the nerf less than a week after release. You guys want to take 45 sec to do what lightning arrow does in 1 second have at it. Hope ggg doesn’t ggg this game like poe1 over 13 years. But wait they ggg’d it less than week after release lol.
Also most of us play these games for fun. Key word fun. Not to make videos or stream in front of a bunch of mouthy spoiled twats. So when ggg, ggg’s their own game based on their pompous vision it pisses people off. They made the game they do something that’s actually fun then take it away. Great vision. How’s your res cap? Lmao exactly
@@polyphoniphilia People spent 70+ hours on CoF comet builds and it got obliterated and were only now getting a respec cost reduction for the new patch. Still doesnt fix the fact that CoF is useless in T15's. Let alone getting to T10's now. Now soon lightning builds will get the hammer too because they are clearing screens way more than CoF use to.
I didn't notice any nerf in my frost sorc and infact, my build got better once I entered Endgame and got some decent gear. It's 100% viable in MAPS, the only issue would be the occasional "one shots" from enemies, but I think every class has to deal with that. 😂

Frost Sorc is my favorite build not because of comet but the ranged crowd control elements … it’s a playstyle I find satisfying and comfortable …
thank you for the build, i have been struggling for a long time as a ice stormweaver. This definitely helps.

thanks for that! got some useful tips for my sorc!
Awesome! I'm glad it helped! 🙌🙏
I was doing something similar without even knowing and now seeing your build shows me how good it can be. Ive been enjoying the cc the build has.
You literally saved me from frustration, thank you so much 🤩
The element exposure makes this build feel really good been taking an different route with the frost sorc and been enjoying every moment so far.
Great build. Nice and clear what you take and why. I used this as a templet for my own forst build. Also one of the few chronomancer guides i could find online.

Just a heads up, you need to have a skill inside one of the slots in Cast on Freeze to actually be able to then activate it. Got me for a while.
Cold Snap is also able to detonate your frost bolts, making it a super efficient tool in your arsenal.
ya I completely forgot to add that part, works really well with multiple projectiles with frost bolt as well. 🙌
Great video! Very well explained. Now if only I can get those level 3 support mods.
I'm waiting for your new vids and updates on this build. Especially about spells and skillgems, passive skill tree, how do you improve it👀
btw the skill tree perk giving a chance for 2 additional fdoesnt work on comet cuz comet isnt a projectile lol but u cant even get comet until your almost done with act 3 lol but good act 3 video
You showed mana remnants active with something linked to it? What’s linked?

if u could use cast on freeze what skill should iu use ? Comet ?
hey can i use this build with Stormweaver?
What about spell cascade on ice nova to have a wider area to hit the frost bolts?
yeah you could do that, there's so many combinations that it really depends on what you want. I just like being able to cast more comets since that is our main source of DPS and nova is already great at getting enemies frozen quickly so that's why i put it on comet instead.

Cast on freeze, just put main skill gem into its support gems. It will use that once you freeze enough times/freeze a boss. I have Comet on it
Thanks for the build. Ive been lightning since day 1 and im gettin bored of it. It just so happens every build i look up is lightning as well, so i appreciate something new.
Frost bomb removes a lot of res already. So some of the penetration may be wasted, especially on small mobs.

Where did you get the level 11 skill gem??
Just from progressing during the campaign but Im not too sure where specifically when I picked one up, maybe in cruel difficulty?
Nice one, thanks
