Wtf is the counter to the yellow dog with a big blue aura that completely drains your mana and keeps it drained? Can't outrun him, cant take hits or melee as a caster. Pretty much a 100% insta, you lose, mob unless you're melee.
if you are using a staff, the staff attack, freezing shards, or what have you, should have no mana cost. yeah, had one of those, would not get off my nuts.

What's the difference between attack and skill? Is skill attack+spell?
attacks are martial. use the weapon and its damage stats to attack. bow, xbow, etc.

spells use innate values, and don't scale of weapon damage.

various passives will speciff if they do one or the other. if they don't specify. they do both.
12% increased crit. both. 12% increased crit with spells. just spells.

finally at the point I can start experimenting.

have the 33% CD chance in chronomancer. its not working great for cold sorc. ice bombs 3sCD is solid. decent uptime with second wind. occasional 3-6cast chains. but, waiting around for that is not great. if Im just using frost bomb, then stormweavesr +20%exposure is blatantly better.
well, see how icewall goes.
The big mistake is people are focusing on the huge CD skills. hammer of the gods.. but thats a big all or nothing. its the shorter CD skills that make best use of the 33%. its far more stable. like, Hourglass support which is +40more damage, and +8s cd. sucks. anything using it is way too inconsistant, and can't sustain.

heres the thing...

xbow
explosive grenade. 3s (3 uses)
flash grendade 4s
gas grenade. 3. 3 uses. (man that would combo with explosive grenade..)
volx grenade. 3s 2 uses.
oil grenade. 5s. 3 uses. also combos with explosive.
emergancy reload. 45s.
cluster grenade. 10scd

yeah, just tried explosive grenade and gas grenade alone. unsupported. no support gems. without any fire damage passives, etc.. it was impressive.
3 and 5s cd abilities with 3 charges each. you can spam this shit out of those and the 33% chance to not consume the charge procs often because of it.

so, xbow chronomancer is probably the correct choice.

Lol it's nice to know that I am still a general scrub.

I didn't notice that there is a menu to the left when you scribe a support gem, and just made all the support gems for my autoattack.

I am disappoint in myself.

Base attack able to have support skills makes it a huge benefit, especially to mana starved classes.

You already got your ascendancy? Or just saying it's a "chronomancer" skill.

Tried like 25 times now on that Titan boss fight in Act 2. Minions cant fucking do anything in that fight. I got SRS to help but fuck it all to hell. They do 1 dmg then die. Useless fucking skeletons. I wonder at what level if any they are viable.

Ill just continue my Mercenary instead.

Says guild is full already which is only at 30 members. But we can purchase more slots and there should be a way to donate your points to the Guild Leader

I can be kicked if needed. I doubt I'll be in anytime soon. If someone knows how to buy tabs for the guild I might could do that.

DefaultZero is the name I used when I joined the guild.

Yea I've been looking at how to donate points but still can't find it. Every time I click on my account name it takes me to POE1 account page which I'm pretty sure is where you do it.

OK but what is 'both', because I see attack speed vs skill speed

Picked up my first notable<- I think? At the end of the 12% 2hander dmg nodes there is the one that gives +40% damage with 2handed maces and only downside is -5% attack speed. Pwned the fuck out of the engineering chick in Act 2 with the quickness. Now to get my health above 500 and actual resists on my gear :(.

I need those orbs that add sockets to gear but they seem to be pretty rare. Have 2 sockets on my weapon but zero on anything else.

Final Act 1 boss was actually really fun.....died 2 or 3 times but the cloud area if you listen for the end of his voice cues it tells you when you need to dodge.....I felt so dumb when I didn't realize it at first.

The passive tree might be huge with less travel, but it does feel easier to throw a build together as you go now, especially with life almost entirely taken off the tree.

And for everyone saying their class is bad or hard when they get to act 2, that's also because act 2 is quite a bit harder than act 1, and I assume there will be more challenge in act 3 as well. But Imagine playing PoE1 blind, no build guide, no knowledge etc., and it would be pretty hard too (though not this hard, especially bosses). I'm loving it tbh.
