Does time freeze considered as immobilized? And have you try extraction?

In case it helps, I've created a feedback post regarding giving us the option to stop Frostbolt piercing.

Feel free to add your +1. With so many posts there, I guess there's only a small chance GGG will see it but with enough momentum, they might.

I am getting somewhere with my new build. Still struggling to get mana regen. I don’t understand how to get it to 1k but I will find.

Question: can you run 2 against the darkness jewel? Or is it limited to 1.

I am short on spirit to have both conductivity temporal chains and enhanced curse and I don’t want to change my amulet nor my chest. And finding a good helmet with spirit is very very expensive

AtD is limited to 1.

You don't have to fit heightened curse if you don't want to.

Yes, it counts as immobilized. Extraction is weak.

Good idea. Let's see how to goes.

I added Nova +3 and got an amulet that added +3 skills. Being able to 1-shot with Nova a packs of mobs is so fun and such a strong optimization.

Nice. I've using using Frostwall/Nova with this build (with 2 good Breach rings and a 78% Ingenuity belt). It's working quite well but doesn't feel as fluid as Frostwall/Frostbolt. I think because I don't yet that a perfect orb for Nova, to add mobility. I think that will help a lot.

Is there an item or passive skill that converts all fire damage into either cold or ideally lightning? That may make Fireball really useful.

New league in one month.
I should hurry to finish this character and actually play. I spent one week doing calculation with PoB and looking for the gears I like.
I was hoping 2-3 months before new league.

The biggest difference between bolt/wall and nova/wall is the skill sequence.

With bolt we cast it 1st and then the wall on top of bolts, so it works on prefire and we just run alongside with bolts.

With Nova we cast the wall 1st, nova second to explode it. This is way more clunky and time consuming.

So, the idea here to make Nova as strong as possible to remove Wall from the regular sequence. If Nova alone can clear everything - it becomes good.

The problem here - base Nova damage is so damn low, so it's hard to scale. Mana Flare helps a lot, but, again, if you don't scale the damage - you won't kill enough mobs to recover mana for it.

About the damage conversion - we don't need it bc of echoing wheel. It's better to ignite with Fireball to trigger Echoing Flames in general. There are Blueflame gloves tho that convert all fire to cold, but it's just a waste of gloves slot for us - we are running CoC, not CoF. Fireball has very low spell crit chance, so energy generation with is not as good as with cold skills. Even Spark is better.

Out of Frostbolt, Spark, and Fireball, I prefer Fireball the least.

Alright, I'm taking full break from the game now. Need to restore some energy to play next one =)

Hello, is this project still alive? Are these videos on YouTube on the first page up to date?

Yep. Latest post-nerf (0.1.1c) videos on the first page are 36-38. I've added a title for them.
Some more videos are in the thread on the last few pages too, but I didn't add them bc I think I have too many Simulacrum videos already.

Here:

36. Full Simulacrum run, 0.1.1c nerf (lvl 82, expensive glasscannon) https://youtu.be/d3aQbbGODls

37. Ice Nova mapping demo (by Reazura): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xez0q1WCV1o

38. Cold Chronomancer lvl 90 (medium-budget) Simu 82 wave 15: https://youtu.be/LMX1JPMecBs

Won't record anything until the next content release.

Just curious if anyone else plans to stick with cold chrono in the new season? At first I was thinking I'd try something new, but with limited time to play and the fact that I haven't quite finished EVERYTHING yet with this character, now I'm thinking I might just rerun this build in the next league.
