I Think I Love Her - Spark Recoup Chronomancer Build

[@Palsteron]

Timetraveled into the future, can confirm the character is still alive.

[@matthiskalble3621]

Aren't all of us slowly time traveling into the future?

[@the151muckle]

Per grimro, the fire wall added damage interacts with archmage. thats why you notice the damage.

[@blech71]

WUT UP GAIS GREMM HEAH!

[@r2Kd0ugernaut]

"I think i love her" is very very often accompanied by "I can fix her", stay sane exile.

[@Legz_inStyle]

Came here to say this ^^

[@devinayaz9210]

im so glad to see how far she came from "the ashes" as you say XD. Truly a heartwarming experience. She may not be who we wanted at first, but we came to love her

[@onemingame]

Been great watching u go from giving chrono a F tier grading to embracing recoup shenanigans wholehartedly. Not throwing shade just the joy of learning a new game.

[@Notmanyusernamesleft]

Cool to see you repaired your build

[@Orktosqt]

I actually like that you can't change ascendancy. because when you're stuck with your choice you will ahve to come up with something that will make ti work. You'd probably go to Stormweaver if you could, and we wouldn't get this pretty cool recovery variant.

[@kliersheed]

i would usually agree but POE2 build variety just isnt there yet IMO very streamlined. you get ascendancy, atribute requirements and skill locked into a playstile very much. there are like 3-4 decisions you can make for your build and thats it, if at all. like making one decision already steamrolls the other ones after. example: i pick stormweaver? oh i guess i have the options between crit, mana stacking, recoup for tankiness and ice vs lightning damage. BUT everything in the tree above us is mana related so we obviously go mana stacking which has the obvious synergy with our ascendancy. so now we stack mana and need as much mana as possible because the only way to deal damage is archmage. now that we have so much mana we obviously wanna take damage as mana as well. now that we take damage from mana, obviously we go chaos inocculation to be able to gear up and not having to have chaos res on gear. we cant go armour, we cant go evasion, we need int for mana, dont have strength, etc. so we can use like 2 auras, 2 skill per element and high int equip. its all very linear. there are no cool hybrids or work arounds, its all "intutive in plain sight and intended". not much to "play" with. what i mean by that is if you gave 1000 people the ascendancy and would check what build they would play, but they werent allowed to communicate with each other / see what everyone is doing, they would STILL end up with pretty much the same build. a mana stacking spark character with archmage aura and int/ES/mana stacking. because there is no other viable option as of now. i really hope they will add upon the "base game" and this is just an early access problem, not a game-design decision, because if it is in the long run this will reduce replay value by extremes and push me back to POE1 with its diverse complexity.

[@Brady_Simmons]

I made a chronomonk and it’s so much freaking fun. Basically build ice monk with recoup and energy/evade. It’s ridiculously fun zipping around maps

[@missingdays1]

If you have 3k mana and 2k life and want to split the damage proportionally, you need to have 60% taken from mana before life, not 66%. With 60/40 = 1.5, 3/2 = 1.5. But 66/33 = 2

[@subtractem]

Sorry yeah I was saying more for what I had which was 1800 life and 3000 mana.

[@roemiroemi6791]

u still can run comet with Elemental Invocation with freeze build u can even set it in 2 times with 2x comet u just have to press the comet by urself but it loads rly fast i can spawn 3 comets in like 3 sek with fireball on ice dmg

[@vgorp3849]

really glad to see someone's making chronomancer work. i wanted some sort of recoup autobomber à la affliction league righteous fire chieftain when they released defiance of destiny but it seems like they're moving away from chill gameplay

[@EyesFireable]

I love how from 1 man-ing me in twitch chat about recoup and chrono being good you end up playing and enjoying it. Glad I was right, and happy you enjoy her

[@paulamblard3836]

instead of "50% pierce" : there is a "60% chance to chain for electric skill", that is better. (or you can take it with 4 level, the small nod befor are also good, with +20%, for a total of 100% chain) for spark, chain is not as good as with some other skill, but it is still at least as good as pierce.

[@brjannonlatunen4975]

I started a Chronomacer with Hammer of the Gods and went full strength stacking melee damage. Im surprised how powerful of a boss killer it is.

[@blech71]

That’s a cool combo.

[@LordShrub]

These are the kind of builds I want to see, the ones that go outside the class boxes that the developers traced out for us.

[@Sylvine]

​@@LordShrubThats as far as "outside the box" as You could possibly go. Chronomancer is the "avoid cooldowns" ascendancy. HotG is the gem with highest cooldown in game. This is less "prove the Riemann hypothesis" and more "which hole does the square peg go into?" level of thinking.

[@Saiperia]

call of the brotherhood + frostbomb improved my spark build. better way to guarantee exposure and frozen enemys cant fight back. but i am not an mana stacker yet and i guess of damage as extra damage doesnt get converted by damage conversion so i can see why you dont go that route.

[@Bradbradhehe]

quality on mana tempest is huge as well

[@d1v1d3dby0]

Not sure if you need my advice, but you could also set up a weaponswap for a full curse passive tree. It gives a nice QoL(and damage) buff for curses, and costs nothing(besides maybe gold lel) since you already do swap for a sigil.

[@anjaspratama3342]

what do you think about gemling spark ? since it's give alot of quality and less manacost. you can also get the one that bypass gem req and double the intelegent so have much more mana ?

[@peterstevenson9472]

Nice build. I can't unsee the screen tearing though :D

[@sabermoff9043]

Thoughts on using Arc instead of Spark for this build? Would it be significantly worse or still good? I'm doing a similar lightning caster with chronomancer but I just find Arc to be a more mechanically satisfying skill to use than Spark.

[@shinkamui]

arc is def worse than spark for bosses if you go arc also bring orb, warp and conduit for bosses so you have a nuke option and invest into shock. The arc version gains much more from stormweaver too because of conduit but you can make it work

[@kliersheed]

spark was always superior but now we have so many tight rooms and map layouts, spark is just a no-brainer. you dont need to aim, you can kill around corners, you can have infinite pierce with the support, you deal damage for a couple seconds even if you get frozen or are animation locked in that one trash map where you have to pull the three wheels, you can dodge abilties while still dealing some dps, pick up loot real quick in breaches, you can scale spark with duration and proj speed (duration also doubles for flamewall, orb of storms, the curse, etc.) and so on and so on. im a spark fanboy with 8,5k hours in poe1 though, so take that with some bias :P

[@Snowy123]

Pivot into hammer of gods and spam it with reduce cool down

[@Bill_Gunn]

You can also get stun threshold on belts, though not on this build as you use the unique

[@isaiahkaz999]

@subtractem thoughts on running Second Wind as well as ingenuity for Temp. Rift? the extra stack of temp. rift can come in clutch but is it worth a longer CD?

[@subtractem]

i find it generally up when i need it, and casting it twice in a row shorter than the cooldown i believe will lead to not really rewinding as much time as you'd like. i can see uses for it but id rather have it more often in a fight if im going to use it more than twice.

[@NomadeDigital]

As far as I understand the golden charm does not apply on the rare you are killing, but the mobs after that, since rares are the last ones standing usually, do you think its worth it running golden charm ?

[@Unitos_]

I still do not understand no respecing ascendancy

[@paulamblard3836]

does "increase energy shield from focus" + Elderish Battery work to gain more mana from the ES on the focus ?

[@kliersheed]

no, i tested that once

[@eccozero910]

there is a jewel that gives "All magic corrupted jewels have % increased effect". think it went up to 100%. if u wanna stack that damage taken from mana

[@kakefisk]

Is the Adorned really in POE 2?

[@kkonaklap6067]

​@@kakefiskIt is

[@Psycorde]

I'm feeling woefully inadequate with my monk, seeing how tanky this sorceress is I've learned some useful stuff that might help me though, thanks

[@restless8638]

Theres a trade-off though which is dps, monks can bonk any boss within seconds, sorc needs like 5x investement

[@paulamblard3836]

sorceress is not tanky be default. i am at T2 map, and mine is solid as a chip

[@ryan_gaming_hub]

I know this comment won't get much attention but, since you are using firewall, if you skip vitality and get some extra spirit on the build to turn on raging spirits, you can use minion pact on your spark for a whopping 40% more multiplier, which is basically free damage.

[@kliersheed]

not really free damage. that spirit needs to come from body armour or scepter or necklace and each of these have better options than the spirit variant (because mana, in tand ES are just scaling so hard in this build) + if you would pick anything else it would be cast on shock which is much more effective with spark and could be used to autocast your curse and or (i like to use) ice-wall because that messes up enemies so bad xd especially with spell echo.

[@ryan_gaming_hub]

@kliersheed u can easily skip vitality which is 20 spirit, and 10 more can be achieved easily with a solar amulet or better rolls on armour

[@Sevrmark]

I'd worry that those purple footprints look too much like volatile crystals.

[@Macskinny76]

You talk about being stun, but since I've been playing, I haven't been stunned not one time. What stun are you referring too ?

[@konuanin8650]

does temporal rift also rewind honor from the sanctum/trial of whatever?

[@shinkamui]

i wish but no

[@andenogma]

The recoup tech looks cool. It just hurt my soul ppl not using weap passives yet, can get that conductivity to 70% if take the curse nodes top middleish and put curse on weap 2

[@subtractem]

that's a very good point! ive been keeping that part of builds simple for myself as i learn poe 2 thus far but ill add that tech in now!

[@manisonshow]

​​​​​@@subtractem it may seem obvious but I made this mistake firsthand so just to add to this - make sure not to unspec any defensive layers for weapon swap nodes so you won't get poped during the swap because of the unlucky timing, or for those who stack ES you won't lose like 1k ES randomly every time you swap. Our best place to unspec (I'm archmage as well) imo would be like outer Ligtning nodes and proj speed at the top right, something like that, things that don't affect your defences and matter only on dmg skill (That's why we don't unspec skill effect duration for example cause we need that on the curses as well). I'm sure you get the idea. With this tech you can really buff your curses, make them stronger, last longer and proc nearly instantly. (Alongside with middle ish portion of the tree consider to take the nodes under CI, (Fated end) this one is crazy) It's also plays in nicely with swap blink tech. (You can even ignore manual swap button and press a curse or sigil of power and then blink instantly cause you can cancel the animation of anything with anything but the swap will take place, I just find it smoother than manualy swaping for blink) Peace brother

[@thatoneguynick]

Why not go es then get the stun is based off of es node?

[@irlinaka2754]

Without EB give a lot of mana.

[@randomaether]

I think I will give up with cold chronomancer and move to this, it can hardly clear packs at a decent pathe. Even if its okay at bossing its not worth it.

[@Amocoru]

This looks fun but I have to say; it's only been just over a week and I'm already really sick of spark. Every single build is spark to level or still uses spark late game.

[@AriDion]

BRO...what are those keybinds???

[@arrow23]

Regular recoup without any nodes happens over 8 seconds I believe, which makes is dogshit on any other ascendacy basically, but this seems ok.

[@danielespinoza8838]

why dont u use the anti-stun charm?

[@subtractem]

It doesn't last long enough, I'm probably wearing it in this video. I had a rant about charms in the original footage but cut it. I'd rather just have rarity that matters than a charm that procs twice a map.

[@Basedard]

I intend to do this at endgame, if I ever get there, as well. The temporal rift is pretty slow to cast it takes a while to get used too I'd anoint acceleration for 10% skill speed and move speed to reduce that awkwardness and pairing it with blink is pretty great because blink is instant to get you out of danger then Temporal Rift to get your mana and life back.

[@adry0927]

almost like my build chronomancer archmage recoup hp and mana spark cast on shock lightning conduiit superb mapping and single target

[@KeaneKamina]

So it's like the build from the guy that already did this....? 78% recoup I believe is even in the title?

[@subtractem]

i literally have not looked at a single person's gameplay or video since league start because i want to discover things on my own. if there are any similarities it's 100% coincidental.

[@Bradbradhehe]

It's just the logical approach for chronomancer, we have to stay life based because of the life recoup ascendancy - there are sources of mana recoup, take some baby MoM nodes and split the damage but benefit from both types of recoup

[@KeaneKamina]

@subtractem no worries. I just thought I had seen this setup before and was confused. I play monk and know there can be overlap for sure. Hope you are having fun with the build

[@KeaneKamina]

@@Bradbradhehe ah, ok. That makes sense for sure. Cheers on clarifying.

[@justjay3750]

no life on the tree drives me nuts

[@exoaable]

I am losing waystone after waystone to server disconnects. How are you playing this game

[@noobkaka567]

wtf are those hotkeys you are using broooooo 😭😭😭😭

[@subtractem]

8-D

[@kacperNFS]

Now that I know that you're the only Chronomancer player left, the devs said that there is one boss that isn't affected by Time Freeze, have you found it? Is it the Temporal from sanctum or Viper from Uztaal?

[@subtractem]

it's the sanctum one yeah, i finally beat him today

[@dlawc]

Nice man seems legit

[@reyclorox]

Hey, if u're looking for a nice place to share a build i think mobalytics cna be even better. Godd build btw, was hoping to see a good use for chronomancer

[@XBLonTwitch]

"Your", CoF build. 😄😄😄😄

[@subtractem]

everyone's build is their own, no two are identical

[@gantz0622]

you need vsync my dude

[@Takeshita_Sakakaki]

does the algorithm still work if my comment is just about boosting engagement

[@RickBomhof]

no. wind strike and explode on armor break titan is better. explosive shot HoI is better. Stampede Titan is better.

[@subtractem]

There is no such thing as better here. I'm sharing a build I like in a pve game. Comparison is the thief of joy. Fun is the goal, this build is fun for me.

[@dIggl3r]

Can you at least enable VSYNC before recording, we see major screen tearing in your videos. 👎

[@vanobe5853]

How many of us will be spamming dodge roll space bar when we play PoE1 again?

[@Zylosio]

Why are you spamming dodge roll in poe2 to begin with

[@subtractem]

they see me rollin, they hatin
