[0.2] Cold Chronomancer Megathread. Nerfed to the ground.

All of the builds here are outdated.
Use them for reference only. It will take time to make things work to some degree. Right now there is no generalized approach. Feel free to use everything you think is good to survive. ~~~ Edit: Page 147 for starters. There are some milestones of early progress since this post: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3592843/page/147#p26025751 ~~~ Currently I didn't reach the endgame yet. Check poe2.ninja for ideas: https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn?class=Chronomancer Current highest lvl Cold Chrono is 91: https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/Felonie51-0925/FeloStopjaifroid?i=2&search=class%3DChronomancer This one is good too: https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/%EC%9E%A0%EC%8B%9C%EB%B6%80%EC%9E%AC%EC%A4%91-1471/%EC%83%88%EB%B2%BD_%EC%9E%A0%EC%8B%9C%EB%B6%80%EC%9E%AC%EC%A4%91?i=16&search=class%3DChronomancer Last edited by monik390#5560 on Apr 8, 2025, 4:51:31 AM

" the worst thing is that there is no short video to see how well or badly these builds work :) |

Archmage is dead bros. The mana cost is insane. Last time I have no problem running the thing in the campaign. Right now it's impossible. High cost, low reward. And this sh*t cost 100 spirit. I don't understand the logic behind this nerf. Yes it was overpowered but you overtuned it to mediocrity without any middle ground.
I more than sure running MoM+EB+Archmage right now is gonna require like 500+ Mana per second regen. Yes you can sustain it with mana on kill but you need to oneshot all the bosses in one rotation or you gonna be empty bottle after first CoC+Comet cast damn |

Dear Roboczewl & Monik,
Thank you for the provided information. I'll continue to move forward smoothly and do some tests. For now I guess I'll move to reach 75, stay with my current stuff, maybe just buy a new weapon and do a first test with cast on crit. Let's see how it will go. :) I wish you all a nice day, Best regards |

" " Current overall trend is just bomb/walling. All those builds are elaborating on that atm. This approach handles stuff quite well, so I'm not really surprised seeing people using it past lvl 85. One of the reason - there ain't much of the decent gear in the game right now. A bit early for this. Adding CoC/Archmage is another issue. I don't see many people with EB/MoM at all. Those 2 dudes I mentioned above are running with 5-6k ES and 2k mana. Archmage is still smth, adding like 20% of damage. But yeah. Nowhere near good as it was. Handling the mana problem is another issue. Second link I shared above is scaling mana regen and using Nightscale gloves - 150% increased mana regen on crit. Idk if it works with the frost wall tho, since they removed monster tag from this. ~~~~ Anyway, the main idea for us was using Temporal Rift to refill mana pool, but now ingenuity gem 100% goes to wall at this point of the game. This approach is kinda dead right now. ~~~~ I didn't expect that many changes, even when I stated that "lategame" build is dead. Atm we have to make stuff almost from a scratch. But yeah, I don't see how we can make it to the powercreep of "lategame" build from maxroll. Not to mention the "endgame" one. Everything has changed. |

It's funny that they running both CoF and CoC at the same time. This is what I initially did when I build my stupid 410 spirit setup.
CoF is really good on trash while CoC is betyer for bossing. But if felt clunky at the end despite working. Then I ditched this and to that to fix things. I had the same exact problem that I have currently in my Act 3 Cruel run. I can't fking blow my walls consistently. I always getting blocked inside my walls. Frostbolt Frostnova is not there to do it. Only bombing works. But still its damn awkward. (I hate the damn mobs they are really on that Dawn of the Hunt kush slowly and methodically piffing at 270 kilometers per hour towards you) I saw those builds the first build have very few crit chance nodes picked which is kinda concerning. Well I know that the person almost at the top but still. Overall the route on passive tree is very same that I did. I can't look at it right now because my Standard league build is fully broken with half filled passive tree and missing nodes. They've just massacred my girl :( Last edited by default_mp3#9394 on Apr 8, 2025, 10:19:26 AM

Btw, dream fragments atm are twice cheaper than snakepit.
I totally got why people are running with bomb/nova. Cost of that crap makes it irrelevant. Forget about frostbolt for now xD ~~~ 2 min Doryani fight w/o Archmage, CoC, and any upgrades. Feels bad maaan. Ran 1 map after that - well, quite smooth, but I got used to it. Need to fix res tho. Not sure how people are running hight-tier maps w/o crest of ardura. I'll stick to it for now. But yeah... Frostbolt entry is impossible. Snakepit cost is insane. ~~~ Honestly, after today I got tilted about the perspectives of the build =) For now, I just don't see any ways to beat Simulacrum. And the situation is a bit different to release, where people didn't know what to do in general. Bomb/walling is definitely out of options. Ice Nova isn't good at Simu at all. I also don't see ways to scale the damage for t4. Last edited by monik390#5560 on Apr 8, 2025, 10:53:24 AM

" it looks pretty good but not for a chronomancer what do you think about it can it be modified or do you have a better idea?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcRl393bNO0&ab_channel=Zen_M |

" In the previous league, I was running an Omen Sceptre for the extra spirit and increased critical hit chance. Pretty sure that was fairly common for builds at the time. I'm not even level 20 yet in new league so hard to say which way I will go :) |

Yeah I got 135 spirit Omen Scepter too. xD
I think I'll stop playing the game for day or two after I'll reach the endgame. It's been 20 hours total and I am still in the campaign questioning my life decisions. It honestly sucking all my juices. Even tho compare to 0.1 I know what to do in the most part but still this is horrible experience. I genuinely wanna try that braindead Lightning Spear build but I simply despise the current state of the campaign. I don't wanna touch that thing until they made the overall experience better Last edited by default_mp3#9394 on Apr 8, 2025, 11:25:38 AM
