Cold Chronomancer Megathread. All content cleared. Leveling guide added.

Did trialmaster at lvl 84 (lvl 19 gems upgrade), and Xesht 4/8 at lvl 85 (had to get 1 more lvl to fit Second Wind in Time Freeze).
Trialmaster: https://youtu.be/99z8NBmYqNg Xesht 4/8, lvl 81: https://youtu.be/8bMmbL67JBo No more gear upgrades. Still 3d build. I think Xesht 6/8 is ok to do with 2 freezes, but for 8/8 there is no damage at lvl 85 for me. Need some more lvls, and 6-linked CoC I think. And yeah, I was using Unset Ring swap for Frost Bomb instead of Snakepit. It's just better this early. Here is my Comet (w/ Conc) under all buffs:  ~~~~~~~~~~ Anyway, that's it. Tomorrow will do a full low-budget video compilation and a build planner, from early mapping (starting from the end of the leveling compilation video) to this point. Since Xesht is done, everything else but Simulacrum can be done in a similar way. UPD: Failed 2/8 simu at wave 12. Not enough damage. ~~~~~~~~~~ " Scaling crit chance/damage. Tomorrow will do a build planner for reference. Last edited by monik390#5560 on Jan 21, 2025, 3:25:30 PM

Hi!
I'm wanting to level this build, but I'm very confused on how to actually level it through the campaign. Just frostbolt and Ice Wall? Is there a lvling guide anywhere? The maxroll planner links and what not that are in the first post don't go into specifics. ALSO: I don't have a snakepit (SSF), does the build still work? I'm not looking for mega clear, just want to get my foot in the door of mapping. Thanks (EDIT: I'm going through the thread for answers to my questions but it's just so huge. I might have missed the answers to my questions somewhere in it, sorry about that!) Last edited by ldbob#5812 on Jan 21, 2025, 3:10:52 PM

" Here: Cold Slowmancer leveling guide: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/an1bc0nm Video compilation of a run: https://youtu.be/xZAhwBeEtUM " Works with Frost Bomb fairly well. Last edited by monik390#5560 on Jan 21, 2025, 3:23:15 PM

Amazing build! 1-2d (lucky loot) and I can do t14-15, but struggle a bit with critical chance. Can I ask you to give some kind of step-by-step way to raise the critical chance? With some kind of prio/price gradation?

" Thanks! The video raise another question for me though. I look at the video for when you are clearing Act 2 final boss. It looks like you are using frost wall already, but you don't have it in any of your skill slots. Am I totally missing something here? Is it on cast on freeze/cast on crit somewhere? The reason I'm asking is because I don't see anything like that in the leveling guide you provided. Sorry if I'm stupid! :) Cheers! |

" in the Skills sections there are two arrows that switch the 'pages'. Basically, cast on freeze is in act 3 there |
|
" The cast on freeze is set on "comet" though, not ice wall? |

I had a question regarding Chobi0ne's 1-button clear build listed on the frontpage.
I'm currently leveling my Chronomancer, and after playing with only Frost Bomb for a while and kinda struggling in the early acts due to the damage delay of FBomb, I wanted to swap to that build for the simplicity of spamming Frost Bolts. For the record, I'm 53 atm with a Snakepit ring. I see that the Maxroll link associated hasn't been updated since January 4th, and I can't remember if the nerfs to Cast on Freeze/Crit had already happened at that point or not, but I'm noticing how I barely ever proc any Comets from my Cast on Freeze, the energy generation is hella slow despite playing with Impetus and Energy Retention. So here comes my question: is that build variant no longer viable, or maybe just in ultra endgame when you have maxed talents/jewels/spirit and I should rather stick to the default leveling guide with Frost Bomb, or maybe that's just the way the build functions until higher levels, with the occasional comet procing but most of the damage coming from Walls/Frost Bombs/Frost Bolts and I shouldn't pay that much attention to the meta gems? |

" What build i can follow to make same this video? |
