(RIP)Frostbolt/Eye of Winter, Coldsnap, Cast on freeze/Cast on Crit comet Sorceress
" Thanks for the heads up! I checked it out and I'm now testing Eye of Winter over Frost Bolt as a main freezing tool. Never even thought about grabbing inspiration to help with the mana cost. |

Hello, can you explain now that you quit frostbolt what is your playstyle and what is Conc Efect in Cold Snap?
Thank you |

This looks like a great build. Just wish there was a section on how you got through the early game and the setup, I am struggling with Act 2 on this atm.

" Hi! So using Eye of Winter over Frost Bolt doesn't change much besides not Cold Snap'ing Frost Bolts anymore. Cold Snap still does a crazy amount of damage so I use it mainly on bosses to break their freeze after I'm done combo'ing them and to pick off random stragglers that didnt die to the comet barrage from cast on freeze. The playstyle is still basically the same, cast Eye of Winter as you are walking through the map and up to packs of mobs just like using Frost Bolt. Conc Effect = Concentrated Effect. A support gem that increases AoE damage but reduces AoE range. |

" Apologies about that! I've been making and updating this as I play so I haven't put the time into putting in leveling sections of the build. If I remember correctly as I was going through act 2 I was using Frost Bolt and Cold Snap + unleash already and the playstyle was just walking around casting Frost Bolt and then Cold Snap'ing the balls when they were on top of enemies. That would usually 1 shot basically anything short of a rare mob as long as your weapon is giving you good damage bonuses. |

I see these 2 comet skills from you original post:
Cast on Freeze + Comet + Spell Cascade (this will eventually be cast on crit) Comet + Unleash + Inevitable Critical + Supercritical Do you need to make 2x different comet skill gems then? If so how would we go about doing that? Thanks |

" You can have multiple aoe skills. Frost wall is great for aoe and burst, they're not mutually exclusive. Normal mobs die to meteor so why bother with cold snap? If you need additional skills for normal mobs I can only imagine you're referring to tanky rates. For those, frost wall is clearly better as a burst skill. So it remains unanswered as to why cold snap is needed. Last edited by Alpha23512#3159 on Dec 9, 2024, 8:02:13 PM

" is there a way to more reliably detonate frost wall? i put in the support gem that reduces icicle HP to help |
|
" Ah i see, but i dont see concentrated effect as supp skill for cold snap, maybe theres something i dont understand? One more quuestion, im early on the game(lvl 31 right now) and get my first chiming staff, actually 2, 1 magic and 1 white, worth it to equip it or should i continue with the other weapon rare one i get? If not, when should i start to really search for a really good one and continue all to the end just changing them for better ones? Just for sigil of power. |
