(RIP)Frostbolt/Eye of Winter, Coldsnap, Cast on freeze/Cast on Crit comet Sorceress
|
if at least ANY spell would do damage. nope. Meteor casting is a waste of time cuz animation / hit canceling. orb & deep freeze only way (df will be nerfed next). back to w1 maps, which dont give items, or xp. dont wanna play anymore.

" this is ridiculous dude. Stick to my point instead of asking silly questions. |

I legitimately can't even play my sorceress anymore. The cast on X change was just brutally stupid. I had so much fun growing in power and finally getting the cast on freeze + comet combo felt good, because that was the ONLY way to properly and efficiently clear white packs. Now I'm just literally dying to white mobs because there's no other good way to counter them.
If they're expecting me to put up a wall -> long cast comet behind the wall, while I'm dying to their projectiles that also interrupt the cast most of the time, they're insane. I tried switching my build around as well, not to mention the fact that I'm running % mana regen while moving because it's SORELY needed. Also the fact that if you stand still in this game you die, it feels like GGG's vision of this class fantasy is skewed. Please just revert the cast on freeze nerfs, this is just not fun anymore. |

" Your point is about the whinning. Build is not dead. Is just not op in terms of clearing white mobs. On bosses it works just as before. Now you have to cast Comet by yourself... But it's not about cast one spell and run to get a loot anymore. It was OP, period. My point is - don't play the game if you are miserable playing it for 11 years. Srsly, do something you like. |

POE 2 in the actual state ....you have to be very aware of white mobs...its not just about taking down bosses. So all of our complains regarding issues with packs of white mobs are valid.

I think the nerf was too heavy handed. It now leaves me in a spot where I have 40 hours invested in a build that I can't play.
That said, I need to move on. Has anyone found a viable alternative build for sorc yet? | |

Unfortunately Cast on Freeze build went to sh*t.
Comet was the only damage dealer for cold Sorc and casting it manually is unreal. Other skills are just garbage in comparison. - Ice nova damage is a joke - Frost bomb has cooldown and abysmal AoE - it's a support skill at best - Cold Snap is clunky and only feasible for single target - Frostbolt is not a damage dealer, period, just freeze applier - Frost Wall requires actual damage to destroy (which you don't have now!) and it has charges with cooldown - Eye of winter damage is so small I needed a microscope to see it. Seriously 16 to 24 damage per shard on level 16 gem. Compare it to 624 to 936 damage on level 16 Comet. Some say "Cast Ice wall, cast Comet etc", these people clearly didn't try juiced tier 10 map with deli + breach - you can't stop for a second to cast Comet, because mobs swarm from every direction, and they hit hard. You're a squishy sorceress, your only defense is crowd control and being a glass cannon, and now you're just glass without a cannon. Solutions I see: - adjust "cast on" skills Energy gain values - buff other cold skills damage(seriously, Ice Nova needs to triple its damage at least) - remove +1 second to total cast time on Comet so we can AT LEAST cast it manually, because as of now as it becomes useless in higher density maps Last edited by disp4362#2369 on Dec 12, 2024, 7:06:19 AM

" Seems youy know what you are talking about so maybe I can ask. I organicly went with sorc and cold spells. Gam was not so fun for first 25-28 levels but after 30 I kinda liked it with the advice here on support gems and tree from youtube guy. I am 35 lev so no comet or cast on freeze yet. Can I do some adjustments to still enjoy this sorc? or I will be fcuked after Acts? |

I tried picking up the trigger nodes with impetus and 60% chance to refund energy but it still feels like shit with all the investment, even with an extra jewel with 15% energy gain
I dont know why they keep nerfing things so hard every single time. We went from 1 Comet per freeze to 1 comet per 10-30 freezes depending on your investment, which is ridiculous I tried making it work with manual casting along side with cold snapping frostbolts to clear normal packs but the targeting is super frustrating where you cold snap a frozen mob and it keeps snapping to the frostbolt behind it, not doing anything Im parking the character until further notice because this just aint it chief |
