Well that sucked (not the build).

00:00 The Iron Citadel
14:26 The Stone Citadel
34:05 The Burning Monolith

Forgive me for not editing this down a bit with map cleanup, I started rendering this right after this happened. Tried going in blind since we have multiple attempts now, turns out I didn't have multiple attempts (I know I did until hitting character select, just a sad joke)

On the positive side, I really like this Chronomancer build. I took a break after getting my 4th ascension doing 0 DPS slow + cold build in my last PoE2 video. Saw this build from    / @ozzudno   who has a further invested character and some more informational videos on it, and wanted to try it since it was just a better version of mine. I was limiting myself to Cold Spells, but hey this is still all Cold Damage.

My Path of Building link: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/lidf50yr
NOTE: "Area of Effect of Curses" is actually useless when curses are converted to Aura, don't buy Jewels with that, i'll update Path of Building when I upload another video.

No notes or anything, just the tree and equipment. I think the DPS still doesn't work well for this build on the Path of Building tool.

Overall the build just has lots of adjustable options, outside of the Unique Gloves (and you really want Slow Magnitude Corrupt version, I was going to try one I found that has 116% fire to cold but was too sad after this)

Slow Magnitude makes mapping very easy, just don't do maps that reduce curse effects. You can always snap back after getting hit once. You do need to be careful of projectiles still, but with enough Area of Effect shooters get slowed too (not the projectiles themselves).
Curse Effect and Exposure are enough to even do maps with + Life and + Elemental Resists
Mana Regen is great, Mana on Kill helps me map with my lower end Mana pool.
Cast Speed makes Flameblast a lot better, you can kind of get away with whatever when you have your Ascendancy buff of +50% for a few seconds.
More Crit More Damage

The 1 annoying thing in the build is getting used to Momentum on FlameBlast
I need to use the Momentum boost to Shatter Frost Wall. To not need that, put Icicle on Frost Wall (or spec into the Icicle alternative on the passive tree of the same effect?)
