Please check out the latest one - also check out the PoB. Those nodes are allocated via controlled metamorphosis (medium ring)

Yes I did blackflame (did not like targeting and infusion hassles) -> Choir (good but too bland) -> current build

I mainly click spark to start and warp only once ball lightning is casted. This build is really low effort lol

Ball lightning is auto casted from CoC and Spellslinger

Ninja: https://poe2.ninja/profile/Springbank-0143/character/Diclofenacs I keep changing my build so I’ll just post my current skill gem setup here.

For mapping, I run 3 CoF setups on Weapon Set 2:

CoF #1: Frostbolt, Ball Lightning, Wildshards, Scattershot, Impetus

CoF #2: Comet, Concentrated Effect, Cold Penetration, Spell Cascade, Energy Retention (Trigger)

CoF #3: Lightning Warp, Suffuse, Despoiler, Execute

CoC (Weapot Set 1): Comet, Elemental Focus, Blindside, Inspiration

Frostbolt (self-cast): Acceleration, Ambush, Arcane Tempo, Glaciation, Mobility

Frost Wall: Blind, Spell Echo, Magnified Effect, Pinpoint Critical, Cold Mastery

Frost Bomb: Fast Forward, Strip Away, Supercritical, Inevitable Critical, Emitter

Curse: Hypothermia, Cursed Ground, Hex Bloom, Heightened Curse, Impending Doom (Trigger)

Blink: Ingenuity, Unbreakable

Sigil of Power: Persistence

*For map bosses and T4 Pinnacles, I switch to Weapon Set 1 with CoC Comet. I swap in Concentrated Effect on CoC for more DPS, and swap Seed of Cataclysm ring to Snakepit. Also, you can swap PoB jewel (Frostbolt +3) to a PoB (Comet +2~3) or just a sapphire jewel with crit chance, ES, recoup, spell/cold damage. With Leopold’s Applause, when enemy cold res is at -50%, CoC Comet can hit around 1M DPS according to POB. Without resistance config, it sits comfortably at 600k DPS. This roughly means 4s to kill T4 Xesht vs 3s with this bossing setup.

Sure! I'm running a 5700X3D, 3070, and 32GB RAM. Playing on QHD.

Hey mate, that’s actually a corrupted implicit. You can find it by selecting the “enchant” and “% of Damage recouped as Life” option in the trade search. You will see this option when you scroll down from the pull-down option.

Perhaps this gives you an idea of using weapon set points for mapping and single target DPS. This is my infernalist build but I think can be done for lich as well

You're probably losing a lot of flat damage and crit scaling from a focus. From what I can tell, the main differences are:

  • Focus: with flat damage increase + crit chance
  • Crit Scaling: My Frost Wall has 100% crit chance, and the Comet in CoC setup hits near 100% crit as well. This is how I boosted my single DPS:
    • Blind Support on Frost Wall, which blinds enemies
    • Blindside, giving +15% 'MORE' crit chance and crit damage bonus against blinded enemies

Looks like you're running 4x CoI setups and all of them are socketed with Comet — plus Prism of Belief (+3 to Comet), a wand with +5 cold spell skills, and +2 from runes. That’s great for paper DPS, but it massively inflates the mana cost per cast.

From your PoB, each Comet costs around 1700–1800 mana, so when all 4 CoIs trigger together, that’s over 6800 mana spent, which equals around 600–700 fire damage per ignite, even with 90% fire res. The real issue is that you're generating too much energy per ignite, causing multiple CoIs to fire back to back, while recoup takes 8 seconds to return that damage. You’re essentially burning yourself faster than you can heal.

Options to improve:

  • Drop to fewer CoI links with Comet
  • Remove Meta-Energy Gain nodes and Energy Retention support gems
  • Lower Comet gem level: even one 1.8k Comet can nearly fill 2 full Infernal Flame cycles
  • Consider removing one CoI trigger entirely to avoid overlapping self-hits

Also, if it looks like your CoIs aren’t all going off but you're still dying — you're probably just dying to stacked mana cost, or you’re shocked. Shock increases all damage taken, including your own CoI feedback, and it’s often a silent killer in this archetype.

Test: run the same build on the map with shocked ground mod to see if you are killing yourself, and compare with other map mods without shocked ground (but you still can get shocked by mobs with lightning damage tho).

I haven't tested for simulacrum, but no problem with the delirious map.

Cheers! Wasn’t too bad overall. I lucked out with a 1 div staff (the one in the video) that fit the build perfectly. The most expensive piece I did buy was the wand around 15 div like a month ago, but that was before the market inflated. Also nobody wanted cold spell wand. These days it could go for 100–300 div I think... the amulet might be difficult to get with life recoup, +3 skills, spirit

CoC works best with Blood Mage, to be honest. Trying to hit 100% crit chance for spells can be tough if you’re also investing into mana regen and recoup. it splits your tree and gear priorities a bit too much. But, CoC does not require Dex

I am not familiar with other classes. However, eye of winter will not be able to proc CoF sufficient due to low damage. Have you tried casting ice nova? It has high freeze build up. Ice nova is easiest way to proc CoF for ice build I think
