dude. dude, what a guide! I need to rewatch this shit a few times to get everything you say there. I'm playing a freeze mage and the biggest problem now is mobility. walking and killing shit is not an option since I heavily rely on my comet for big damage. I'll try some of the tips here for sure. Adding eye to my combo seems like a great idea.
You dont need extra spirit for Blink on your 2nd weapon. Just turn off Archmage while on 2nd weapon. Also you 100% will need Frostbite curse effect for endgame. Frost damage without heavy penetration and exposere will just tickle a high level boss
That’s exactly what I’m going for man! I love shattering enemies it feels so cool, I’m only using cold spells and wanna go chronomancer too cause time magic is cool asf
about the weapon swap, you can just disable archmage/cast on freeze on the 2nd weapon set, and allocate it to blink, that's what I did, but instead of wand, I used chiming staff for the 2nd weapon set, easier that way
A cool tip for that 4th gem slot on skills / skill gems is: You can make a, for example, Frost Bolt skill gem. Then put a lesser orb on it to get it from 2 to 3 slots, then you can try and corrupt it, which will either put it back to 2, or to 4. I'm only level 65ish and have never seen the big orb that upgrades from 3 to 4 gem sockets (without corrupting it), so I did this tip a few times to get those slots :)
yup thats a good tip, I used that afterwards for my eye of winter. The issue with this method is that even though you can still level up the skill gem, you cannot put quality into it afterwards, and you won't be putting quality into it before that gamble XD
Trying similar build currently, though I got a leggo drop with bracers converting fire damage to cold, so rocking flame blast / fire orb. Not sure if it’s most effective way, but it just is so much fun) p.s Stopped playing GW for a while now, was so cool seeing you try PoE:)
hey, thanks for the comment. I tried converting lightning damage to frost ring with archmage, but it seemed that many synergies applied to that damage before it was converted to frost so it wasnt as great as i thought
@@Vallunyeah it could be the case, as I understand the conversion should happen first before other multipliers are applied, so i am scaling cold damage currently just as you did. I should test it out more, just lacking proper gear to try other approaches as of now. I am still trying to pull off the ember fusillade + mana flare. So your guide to stacking mana was really helpful 👍🏼 Just i had to sprinkle some critical hit chance onto it to make better use of mana flare.
Hey Vallun. Following your guide 1:1 in HC, currently in act 3 normal. What do you think is a good ES and mana number where you should go for MOM and Eldritch Battery? Currently I have 650 mana and 660 ES at lvl 40
this depends moreso on your mana regeneration, because the energy shield regenerates decently fast so long as you dont take damage, but if you take damage and then your mana stays low then you're done for if you cant mana pot back up. I don't know the exact thresholds you need but mana and mana regen are needed, also if you have your first ascendancy to rewind time that can be a good time to get it since its a good mana renewal source
mana drain only affects you in the outer ring, so stay in melee range or way further than the range of the ring, and yes these are very dangerous so you need to use your time stop to finish them asap
Try clicking this link, its a tree poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABgcCfEj2Bisq64BYDhVoDvYa5XsSg0md2f8aHsfwVypzPgyq6PSNzlcSfpQVfVklsdIO7-tG3mfhboUK5_ARaH6r9XxGpj5hoKlfEr3FIaiYfQIFLZi7nqGcGjsAdO5jtuOqOB8jBbw39Gg65-IUwnFR7-uzPaLF9NW12saAjhsnk4JBDLNV4CiO79s4btwdWLlNChNfDDhm21aIO8hAUvHjP4AoSnzpcjgS3Epk4Klhwg3vmo-tp_XC7GOj9E3zuKbU-bhAw7gfGL2oegYFmbNeiBirddc94qDBgRPgQNSWh73qkc-FyBDHDZAonhSJlcLY0yF5uEkWRz_vAAA=
the general issue with eye of winter isnt that its too fast, its that it dissipates too soon, so making it go faster can make it hit the target sooner sure, but I think a pierce skill gem on a 4th slot may serve that purpose better so it conserves more of the projectiles
If you can get your hands on it, the Everlasting Glaze Amulet would probably benefit the build a lot in the end. You'd get a big amount of free Energy Shield from it for no real cost while keeping Eldritch Battery.
I was using this amulet before but I lacked spirit so I went back to a normal amulet, but I'd go back to using it if I could get more spirit elsewhere.
"love" how content like this is a magnent for min/max "experts." OP literally said in the video he prioritizes fun before optimization but some of yall just cant help starting arguments over best builds. Get over yourselves. 🙄🙄
I don’t think critical weakness works exactly like that. You get an extra 10% attached to the enemy, not to your base crit spell chance. So any multipliers to crit chance will only go off your base spell crit, than the extra 10% added on after. (Base Spell crit x Increase critical chance) + critical weakness”
You dont actually need the shield for spirit to blink, just disable arch mage in set 2 and use it's spirit while swapping and have everything else auto swap back to 1 But of course u could prefer to have the shield for emergency situations where u would need to blink away with better chances, or u could have cast speed focus wand with mana siphon or power siphon from attuned or siphoning wands to have a life mana heal with soul link support
true and if I had a better focus I would do that, but mentally it feels safer to be on the shield before I want to blink due to the weapon swap cooldown, so in tougher situations im sticking on the shield and then swapping off of it for the burst, which means i still want the archmage going off at a lesser extent in those times, which seem to be when it matters most
@@Vallun yeah i know whatcha mean, i even experimented with some weapon swap sweed rubys. i'm on my stormweaver, with similar setup, i gotta try out that moonlight belt, the 20% damage recouped as mana from adversed growth passive was super helpful, so this should be even better
@Vallun thanks for the help got that belt and upgraded all my gear to have 4.5k mana so archangel finally works good, and ditched everlasting ammy and energy shield passive for mana regen and feels much better now plowing down screens of mobs for frost bolt. Just need bit more spirit to get the auto comet
Ooof today was a slog, im 85 and before i made changes i dieda bunch on all my lvl 15 maps and also lost half a lvl, was brutal, Seems to be working better now except i did lose all the extra stun threshhold from energy shield@Vallun
most sorc builds i see get overexposure and all those nodes.. is it really not needed? i feel like if you aint using frost bomb... you are only using eye of winter exposure thats a mere 30% but you can get the enemy to negative and that increases damage by like 10%
no you're totally right that it gives a lot more damage, but I don't really struggle with getting more damage on this build, its mostly the utility of cast speed and mana for survivability that I want more of
that works too, but because unleash has a short cd before it charges up you cant multi shatter multiple times, it would be 3 then 1, so its generally better to multicast other things
gonna have to tell you, you will probably hit another wall when u hit pinnacles. you need to scale much more damage for your regular skill (frost bolt in this case). you cannot depend on freeze for them, if your main damage cycle depends on freezing the enemy, you will hit a pretty big wall when you reach them.
and i'll just keep progressing and getting better gear as is the case for everyone, and I'll most likely get higher crit chance later on so I can swap between freeze and crit cast depending on the situation
@@Vallun im playing a similar build (frost stormweaver - without archmage, full cold damage) at lvl 93 rn, at high gemlevels you're gonna run into mana problems, so keep that in mind if you plan to upgrade into high + skill level items (since those are the best mods for dmg scaling). i didnt fully test cast on crit, but just a heads up for that, you can stack CoC energy by critting your own ice walls, if you stack 3 walls with spell cascade and attack it with an aoe like ice nova or comet you can trigger it, i think you're gonna need some increased energy mods to make it feel nice.
@@Vallun can work but i would want to probably want to keep eye of winter with unleash and exposure and use it as a debuff support spell. ice nova can hit multiple walls at the same time with little support (can use astral projection so u can aim it freely without frostbolts)
@@D00RYA ok but where did I suggest this is the best build? The fact that you are saying "sorry" suggests that theres some miscommunication here but its just your misinterpreted expectations

I hope the dev make these builds more powerful, seeing people making 1 skill builds to clear the entire screen is boring AF to play.
Theyll just nerf the one skill builds. Haha

Just the game how you want
Agree, 1 button pressers can play poe1
More power to other builds? Lol nah they’ll just nerf any outliers. Even though Steven has literally said they want to do the opposite

does acceleration on eye of winter help? or is it not worth it because it increases mana cost?....
the general issue with eye of winter isnt that its too fast, its that it dissipates too soon, so making it go faster can make it hit the target sooner sure, but I think a pierce skill gem on a 4th slot may serve that purpose better so it conserves more of the projectiles
Nice build ! The belt is mandatory or i can play without ? Im ssf player
play without is definitely fine, but you'll need to be quicker on your reactions since you wont have as much recoup

would blastphmy with hypothemia be useful? im debating that
yup just remember that you can only have 1 curse per target unless you take the curse passive node
why are there lightning visuals on your frost spells?
He's using Archmage, which adds lightning damage to everything scaled on your max mana.
archmage
How do you cast two comets? I don’t understand please explain.
cast on freeze with comet and spell echo slotted, then a comet with other stuff
