[0.2] Cold Chronomancer Megathread. Let's see how we can survive this.

*time snap*

Here we go again..



Discipline sceptre SAYS you and allies, but I don't seem to be getting the aura yet.

Honestly pretty annoyed that they applied these major changes to the existing servers/realms. No real reason for it. I was going to mess around with my old character but it's absolutely fucked -- whole bunch of passives reset, Morior no longer working so res is screwed, things like that. Could've dealt with the mana changes and whatnot but that's just way too much to spend time "fixing." Would've been easy for them to just leave it be with all the old items and broken builds, but for whatever reason they decided otherwise. Lame.

New character, running feels so slow... I knew it would, but it's frustrating anyway haha. Doing okay though, only three deaths so far :D just have to get used to avoiding things like AoE and environment damage instead of just smashing my way through.

Meanwhile, killed Geonor on the 3rd try (2.5 minute fight) and Hyena boss in 1 try. And that's it for today.

For Act 1 I went for Potent Incantation. Finished Roil ring in early Act 2, now it's time to go for some Crit.

Running with 2 gelid staves atm. 1 was with +2 cold (swapped for spd + crit later from Geonor my dawg), and updating Freezing Shards frequently.

Nova definitely feels stronger, but it's not as good at freezing. Previously, Unleash + Glaciation almost always froze enemies. Now it kills more often than freeze.

Frost Bomb aoe increase is very noticeable.

I probably will stick with gelids until I find a decent wand.
