Frost bolt, have tons of passives for extra freeze. Shit usually freezes within 2 hits of anything I cast.
Bosses now freeze within 10-15 seconds.

Freezing Shards from a Staff seems like the best, put chain and glaciate on it. It's freezing small enemies in one hit. Hoping one of the higher level spells can replace it.
Frost Wall is so good on big enemies it seems bugged. Frost Bomb is OK, gave it the 100% crit after 4 seconds gem to proc Elemental Storm.
Looks like there's another Cast on Freeze type thing that you need to activate from Monk spells, so working towards that now.

I'm running Merc, but with a bow and finished the campaign. Now, I'm in the second chapter on the harder setting and my only two complaints thus fair is that loot is a bit too rare and body blocking is AIDs.
Otherwise, great game is great.

Slow moving projectiles and 2 hits isn't what I would call great projection. Given how rippy trash can be, I want to proactively freeze/electrocute/stun. Or, barring that, be able to recover the damage taken. But that doesn't seem possible barring bugged interactions.

Absolutely. They still have a lot of work to do to get it in an amazing state though. People are really forgetting this is just EA.
Body blocking is shitty. They need to have some kind of item or modifier that lets you roll through it.

*paid* EA. For a free game. That requires purchased stash tabs for any serious playtime. That has been siphoning development resources from PoE1 for years. The context of whether criticisms and expectations of this early access are valid is really weird.
Don't think they're going to do anything about body blocking. They seem really proud of certain monsters like charging rhoas being able to push you around.

So.. speed them up? Frostbolt with Acceleration and Scattershot gems. They go faster and shoots 3 at a time, which you can spam. And they pierce everything. I'm a glass cannon build - literally all +damage skills, nothing else (may regret that later) but it's easy mode.

Maybe. 2 support gems to get a decent cone skill seems like a steep price when you have things like Lightning Arrow or Permafrost Bolts that are out of the box better it terms of QoL.

Yep but I bet someone will buy em for like 15 exalts
Really I'd use em for a Deadeye Ranger with Tailwind and Evasion based. You can reasonably get ~15 MS from the tree + 10% from tailwind so they kinda fit perfectly. Other then that they would be nice for a low level twink. They do need to add more phasing to the game however.

Got like 7 Uniques today and quite a lot of Regal orbs and maybe 2 Exalts. Zero rare upgrades from the ground sadly.
My minion build is blasting all the bosses on the second run through of the campaign, kinda feels like when you get to later acts in PoE 1 where your build is starting to work.
Im melting all the normal and rares and bosses live maybe 30 seconds max. The Titan one lived a bit longer but his HP pool is huge and tend to slam my minions to a pulp.
