Cold Chronomancer Megathread (WIP). CoF nerfed. Very slow gameplay now.

Well that was fun boys.
Big nerf on cast on freeze

it was a good run boys

and now...?
ha. ok.

new math.

"10 energy per power level of enemy you freeze" this new version might not be capped per skill use. so freezing 3 enemies with one cast might =30 power.

1,2,5,20 white, blue, yellow, unique. white, blue and yellow actually vary. thats average. bosses are always 20.

bosses are base 200 energy per freeze.
white enemies are 10, blue are 20.

max energy is 10 per .1 cast time of socketed spells. (down from 1.2s.)

frost wall is 80 energy.
comet is 300. I dont know why. its still 2s cast.

Energy per skill level seems to have changed?
used to be 2% per level, its now 3%. this is a buff.

level 12 cast on freeze is +33%
Impetus is unchanged. +40% energy.

thus, versus a boss. 200 energy x 1.73=346 energy per freeze.

Not really a fan of any other sorc builds atm so im going to let the theorycrafters cook while i play a deadeye or something
RIP build, 90% nerf on clear is too much
GG leave the game
some other notes.

Recoup. I have now tested. damage to ES does regen life via recoup, even if the life isn't hit.

I also, removed spell echo from my cast on freeze. I replaced it with clarity.
i was having issues with man. spell echo was costing alot of mana. clarity is giving me a lot of mana.
note, I have +10 spirit amulet.

nerf to cast on freeze may have made this pointless. haha.

clarity also Says "you and your allies gain 30-% increased mana regen"
however, when socketed in cast on freeze, the tooltip THERE says 60%.


850mana.
74.5 mana regen with clarity.
64.3 without.

45% increased mana regen,+29 and 15% recovery, without clarity.

poe 1 is 1.8% of max mana/s..
15.3
that don't add up.. so 1.8% can't be right.

ohh, my neck is 29%. removing that gives me 54.4. ok. so clarity is giving me 30% as well, not 60.

ok, so if 30% is giving me 10 mana/sec increase. my base must be around 33mana/sec. and 33mana/sec is 3.8% of 850. oh, and 15% recovery..

3.3% of max mana regen?

Some positive chatter post-nerf on Reddit here - https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hcb1wt/comment/m1ms8wz/

See below:

"
EDIT: Build is still viable!

Swap inspiration support for energy retention support on CoF

Get the passive tree node "Energise"

Get the passive tree node "Dynamism"

You can drop a lot of the mana regen because you aren't spamming too many comets on white mobs now

Instead of the energy shield nodes in the top left of the tree, path to "Quick Response" on your way to "Dynamism"

Use frost bomb or ice walls to clear packs of mobs that don't get cometed

Not as OP as it was, feels balanced and actually fun to play.

I don't think mana will be a big issue now with the comet spam nerfed on white mobs.
edit: probably im gonna back to use cold slap to kill some mobs that didnt die
