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?

Nope, going to see how it is pulling comet out and using it manually and then dig around for a possible respec

Never played PoE1.. got this game wanted to play a sorc.. and didn't want to go lighting/fire like i seen alot of ppl doing. This was the 1st cold sorc i seen that was good since D2, put 70+ hours into it I'm at lvl 61 just got to act3 was having fun, now idk what to do other than w8 till full game is out or spend the 150k gold i saved to maybe respec and play that lighting/fire build? till that gets nerfed? :(

I have 300k gold, level 70 and dont have enough to fully respec.. but I can get close...

Just can't determine what I want to do.

It's a beta, you could tell the cast on skills were OP and non-interactive so I get it.

Problem is with this build, we can't sit still and cast comet.... i tried... you will get wrecked.

I am going to attempt to see if I can get the cast speed up enough to where manually casting comet is viable because if it casts instantly/almost instantly ill keep playing it.

It's impossible while +1 second cast time is in place.
If you played PoE1 you'll know that literally nobody plays builds that require long cast time(channeling), for example Flameblast. In the endgame you want to zoom through maps. Waiting 2 seconds for a skill to finish casting is a luxury you can't afford.

I turn on game rn and test it, so im in the end of act 2 cruel and can say the build is playable on campaing. Problem will be with the endgame, but campaing is fully playable in my opinion. Bossing is the same, but to clear the white mobs i spamming wall's, frost bomb and cold snapping them and work ok.

Where are the insults? And where have you made any point? Please tell me because all I've seen is straight whinning. Other dudes here made points why it's bad for them, you have not.[/quote]

Lets leave the beef behind now...no need for that. Playing poison ranger now...and yes poisons are very satisfying and rewarding to play...lets have a bet...poison will be nerfed in the next patches?! Deal?!
