(Stormweaver) Max projectiles cold converted fireballs. Cheap, easy, powerful, FUN! (T16+ ready)

OP! I can't believe how cheap this build was to get running and how well it scales with end game chase uniques. Definitely the most fun build I've had since I first started playing POE1.
So in the end this turned to just another AM/shock build?
How do you guys exactly scale your dmg. I'm currently running the AM/CoS build - https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/sg9xz01k with the same passive tree .

I'm currently only having 4.5K mana. As far as I can understand I need that Ingenuity belt + the high mana roll rings to up it. Not sure If I'll manage to get it over 7K though. I already have the uinque Mah shield...

My fireball tooltip shows around 30+k damage. I dont have issues with clearing, but on boss fights, after 1 combo - curse/frost bomb/frost wall/comet from cos/fireball my mana gets depleted and often the boss does not die and one shots me...

Why do you guys keep upgrading the fireball damage? Dont you need more damage for boss fights on the frostwall or comet? Do you need really those +3 fireball jewels ?
What stat we need to scale for most single target damage - shock, magnitude, spell dmg or ?

What about crit, do you opt for critical chance on the tree, cuz its really hard to get on the gear as well...

Until they nerf the double shock ascendency and archmage, every stormweaver build will just end up as a shock build at the very endgame. However, you don't need to do this until high tier pinnacles imo.
Which spell shall be allocated on the amulet?

I'm mostly farming T18 breaches for loot at this point. More fireball DPS = easier clear in general. I don't really have an issue at pinnacles either, but my mana regen is over 1500/s when standing still and something like 1700/s when moving. I found Frost Bomb too slow for applying exposure, so I actually run Frost Wall with Lightning Exposure and Overcharge (magnitude of shock). I might switch it around to even drop my Fireball DPS and run Overcharge on Fireball for pinnacles.

I don't build crit but others have and it seems to work well for them.

I don't recall my mana getting depleted after a rotation when I was at 4.5k mana, what is your mana regen rate?

Depends on what you're prioritizing:

If you use Snakepit ring (grants Fork) - Split Shot

If you are struggling with mana - Conservative Casting

If you are dying to freeze - Icebreaker or run anti-freeze charm

If you are dying to freeze/stun - Hunter's Talisman and run anti-freeze and anti-stun charm

If you just want more damage: Frazzled (cheaper) or Lightning Rod (expensive)

That's just my opinion, others might chime in with more suggestions.
Thank you for the suggestions!

I guess thats one of the issues, I got only 420 mana regen.
Could you please share your passive tree and skill gem combination ?

Here you go! I just made some changes, too, which are reflected on this maxroll. Swapped in Overcharge on Fireball like I said, and I'm going to give Cast On Shock Lightning Conduit a try now that I have lots of magnitude in the tree and Overcharge on Fireball.
