Honestly starting bloodmage crushed me, made it to act 3 and i think im just gonna wait a few days to see if the first couple patches bring any improvments either buffs to blood or shortening map size/campains, i dont have it in me to restart a new char already 😢
Blink with the cooldown reduction support is incredible for this build, I'd recommend that over elemental invocation. It blinks past your walls so you don't lose any mobility on bosses when you're trying to kill them with your frost wall, and it's a godsend in small arenas.
I prefer Ball lightning + lightning warp over using spark. Because lightning warp creates shocking ground, meaning you can use overcharge (+75% shock effect) without worrying about shock duration. The other benefit is you dont need to spent 2 ascendancy points on shaper of storm (all dmg can shock), because the shocking ground doesnt care about the dmage type. You can even apply 2 stacks of shock with lightning warp, when using "strike twice" :D
There is a Skill Gem that has a 20% chance to fire another 9 or 7 projectiles that im using for clearing maps, Frostorbs go everywhere, no aiming needed. Theres also a Staff i found that triggers some lightning Skill on Shock.
I leveled with spark and it was very annoying in all the narrow parts of zones/maps, but frostbolt is doing a bit low damage, so i don't know, maybe the result will be that cast on crit will be the better choice
i switched over to Fireball+100% fire to cold and since then mapping has become so much easier and efficent, just a blast to play. CI is the next project :)
It is also a good option, you go gloves Blueflame Bracers Goldcast Cuffs and take fireball, You cast frost wall and fireball, it is a pretty good combo
Thank you for nice gide video. Need more full stream video in channel . And i think you need test "cast when shock" one more time but take +%shock chance. You have access for this passiv in you tree.😅
Get everlasting gaze as your amulet and get eldritch battery, mana before life nodes + use staff for freezing shards skill with same supports + chain&pierce, thank me later :)
There are a pair of unique gloves that converts 33% of elemental damage to frost, fire, and lightning. I've been using those and it wirks great for cast on x builds
Which staff would be better for this build? The gelid staff with + skill level or the one unique gelid staff? Feel like the unique one is better - also doesn’t differ price wise on trade
For this setup I highly recomend getting the orange necklaice that gives good mana related stats and most importantly applies your life regen to energyshield so you are always regening energy shield and dont need to worry about start of energy shield recharge
Who needs life and ES, I just stacked Mind over matter, eldritch battery and chaos inoculation. I have 9k mana and a lot of regen lmao. recoup damage now is flat DR.
I’m going to try making this build using the polcirkeln ring which shatters chilled enemies and using the ascendancy for perma chill on spark I wonder how it’ll work with cold snap
Doesn’t ci make you bleed immune in poe2? I thought it was specifically caused from damage to life. Since your life is never being hit you wouldn’t ever bleed
Your not the first with this idea, there's a guy called Lexyu posted video before you using similar build with this ring, he just uses more Lightning than frost skills. Ring price is crazy. Other than this great idea. Thanks
Do you think a focus is good for chaos innoculation? A shield to block with feels essential to make sure your energy shield can come back. Id like to use a focus for the extra es but being able to 100% block on damand feels non-negotiable
I realy do thank you for your build! Best one for me as a beginner in this game and genre. What do you think of your build, but with chonomancer? Hope to manage mana with it more easy.
Wait can I get a clarification hahahaha you only need that 1 node for cast on freeze for energy if u don’t get 100freeze? If so my dumbass misinterpreted it wrong (just from what I heard people saying) and went all the way to the notable. This could be a huggggge buff to me, a few points is all I need to get some big nodes.
When you freeze you gain 100 energy. You need to hit the max energy to cast on freeze. Your max energy increases based on spell cast time. So you need to have % gained energy to hit the cap when you freeze one time. If you want someone explaining in video watch Rax’s video on cast on freeze
Interesting. But how do you deal with bosses? How do you reset their freeze resistance in order to re-trigger CoF? I've tried self-cast Comet, but it just doesn't provide enough damage. I'm still struggling in Cruel: my clear is great, but the damage to bosses/rare is pitiful, with CoF+Comet+INspi+Impetus. The wall seems underwhelming too. Would like to see your boss demonstration.
Frost wall..he did mention this in the previous videos. But Frost wall does a ton of damage to the boss. Reduce it's life and you'll have a boss shredder skill.
I use basicly the same Idee but i addet fire wall so i trigger all 3 30% dmg gains from schock frezze and ignite and the note for ever elemental debufff 15% dmg But the helmet and is something i need to test looks more comfi to play
The most broken version of this is ice wall. If you reduce the HP of the icewall with icicle and the passive point, you just layer icewall everywhere, and then detonate it with whatever ability you want. I use ice nova. You do the equivalent of an MMO press B to autorun, and then spam icewall and icenova and the entire screen dies.
@@nfefx It's not worse lol. The icewall can 0-100 a boss frozen as fast as you can cast them. Try it, don't try it. Don't care. I've done it three different ways, and not only does icewall clear entire screens faster than anything else. It acts as an active defensive layer. It eats projectiles and blocks enemies. Running a hard map? Undergeared? No worries. Icewall inside the room and walk away. Monsters will kill the icewall, the icewall will freeze everything in the room, and your cast on freeze 2x comet impetus and spell echo will kill everything for you. There are times when Frostbolt or another projectile is fun to use, but you know what's even funner and more efficient? Detonating all the icewalls at once with a single frostnova cast. No need to aim. No need to really think. You just run into your wall of icewalls and frost nova and boom. Everything else is slower to detonating the walls.
@@vulpixel Icewall should be cascaded, and use the CD reduction. I also use glacial with it. You rarely ever run out of icewall to detonate entire rooms. If you do, you still have the entire frost mage toolkite. I personally run icenova with unleash and a +damage support skill forget the name off hand. It will freeze regular monsters on a single charged cast. It will also detonate your icewall in a single cast, which then cascades and detonates every other attached icewall. It's by far the most efficient way to freeze ENTIRE screens of enemies, but beyond that, it's basically the best defensive layer you have. It blocks enemies. Distracts them. Eats enemy attacks, and when it eats an attack, guess what? It freezes them and then gets 4-6 comets dropped on its head. Did I also mention that large sized monsters don't even need to attack it? It just instantly detonates on large monsters, causing instant and massive chain kills on entire screens of enemies whenever there is a single large monster. Then there is the boss implication. Other than a few bosses (flying), 3 casts of a cascading icewall will pretty much instantly 0-100 a boss without any sort of diminishing returns. Allowing you to ice bomb and then hypothermia and then manually cast a super charged guaranteed crit comet to supplement the 4-6 comets your freeze dropped.
Dude how are you not running the arcane surge office nodes… it’s to the left side and it’s 40% and x2 15% more arcane surge efficiency. It adds so much mana regen and cast speed.. by far the best you can get. Especially playing ES or mana takes your hit

When cast on freeze reaches level 13 you have enough bonus energy gained to not need any more on passive tree
really i gotta test that
For me it was level 12 because I had a jewel that gave 6% energy
You can keep it on tree and replace impetus with dmg support gem. 3% mana restored also huge on this nodes.
Thank you so much for sharing this build. Ive been following it since youre first video showcasing it and having so much fun !
Excellent work. I love your detailed approach of explaining your decisions.
Weapon swap spirit reserving seems like some cool tech to get blink for sure
Came just to drop a like for not clickbaiting like so many other content creators. Well done!

is this better/smoother than using frost bolt?
@@Evan_Performance For me it felt better, ye
do u have build link?
That's a cool Idea, for me using ball lightning felt awkward so I stick with spark but it's good if you like it
do you have a showcase/video?
Just a tip, you can get meta skill energy gain on a jewel for early game if you can reach those nodes yet/ want to path there later
There is a Skill Gem that has a 20% chance to fire another 9 or 7 projectiles that im using for clearing maps, Frostorbs go everywhere, no aiming needed.
Theres also a Staff i found that triggers some lightning Skill on Shock.
Adding the support gem that goves 40% reduced move speed slow while casting feels soooo good
Is that just a rnd drop?

Dous this build work with chronomancer?
This is gonna die instantly in higher level maps
So what are some other storm Weaver builds that can keep up with this or is this just becoming like a one build per ascendancy game
People play similar version on invoker or bloodmage, although I wouldn't recommend playing it on bloodmage
Inspiration on CoF? Tooltip says “cannot support spells which reserve spirit”. Am I missing something?
Inspiration is for the comet gem which CoF triggers.

sorry if a stupid question but i thought poison bypasses shield, if you have 1 health doesn't it 1 shot you?
You are immune to chaos dmg (poison is chaos), and bleed cannot be applied on you because phys dmg must deal dmg to life to apply bleed
