Meanwhile, i switched at lvl 52 to Temporal Chains and got Apex of the Moment (Trial of Chaos right after hitting lvl 52):

Passive tree (lvl 52):



I sacrificed some damage for it, but the general experience became better.

Nerf of the Presense range is huge tho, definitely noticeable.

P.s. i will refund Monk area a bit later, for +1 Cold and crit at the top.

Gems:

Frost Bomb: Spell Echo - Magnified - Considered Casting.
Frost Wall: Spell Cascade - Icicle - Ingenuity.
Blashphemy: Temporal Chains - Ritualistic Curse.
Mana Tempest: Premeditation - Inspiration.
Ice Nova: Glaciation - Unleash.
Hypothermia: Expanse - Heightened Curse.

I stopped using the Comet for now, not worth using at all. Put Ice Nova once again.

So, I have really good CC once again. Here we go =)

unleash support is meh at best, and it "working" together would not have been useful. "50% less damage"

absolutely better without it.
culling spark. culling arc.

This is absolutely stronger then stormweaver arcane surge effect.
I will come out and say, Chronomancer is the strongest spellcaster with Unleash I believe.

if we keep to a shorter CD/cast skill, we don't need timesnap either. unleash, now and again, time rift, time stop.

I didn't have any idea about using it with the spammable skills. Used it with Nova and Freezing Shards before switching to Now and Again. No comments about Freezing Shards, you got it right.

About Nova + unleash support. It works like 2+2, first cast spend Unleash skill seals, second cast spend support seals. 50% less damage while reoccurring, but there is no penalty for damage when seals are full.
So its 2 casts with unleash on a full power before damage affected by reoccurring of seals.

Unleash support isn't used for spammable skills, it's better to think about it as a thing that adds CD.

So, it is actually quite good if we are talking about conditional timing for nukes - like Freeze or Mana Tempest.

Anyway, the problem with the Unleash skill - it requires one more button T_T.

I do consider testing it instead of Apex of the Moment later, if I'm not up to spend 3 passive points for Presense range.

We have planner early-mid game without nerfed "The Everlasting Gaze amulet"?

Any amulet that provides mana regen + mana on kill should be fine?

monik390 the state of Archmage btw? It's dead dead? I mean if it's still viable to chug whopping 100 spirit for it

I'm at cruel atm, not sure about the endgame stuff.

I'm not good at planning and theory, always do my things on practice by trial and error.

It will take way more time to get there this league for me, I have very limited playtime starting tomorrow (1-2h per day at most) and definitely fall behind.

Feel free to check poe.ninja for reference from other people:

https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn?class=Chronomancer

Current highest lvl Cold Chrono is 87: https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/Felonie51-0925/FeloStopjaifroid?i=2&search=class%3DChronomancer

And they run a variation of the default build with CoC/CoF and Archmage. No Blasphemy.

ok. yeah. so trial was cake.

I took unleash and Im experimenting with that.

been more freeform this time. Solar orb was very useful in many fights against cold resistant enemies. 2 orbs. it actually meshes with bomb,wall well.

Unleash.
frostbolt has a .8s cast time
fireball is 1.2s cast time.
Unleash at level 32 is rank 9, 820% of cast time as CD.
you can immediately support it with cull and 15% more damage.

fireball at this stage is very powerful. its actually less dps, without its explosion. but does explode dealing more damage. and popping walls.
with Unleash, it hits really hard.. but also have a much longer CD.

arc.
1.1s cast time.
actually kind of sucks? half the damage of frostbolt/fireball. not a ton of aoe coverage either.
