Sorceress
ChronomancerUpdate for 0.5 (Jun3)
- Follow Regen setup
- Added
Eternal Rage, it regenerate enough Rage per second to channel 
Perfect Strike and release it when Rage is back to 30 with Rageforged II. And for 
Hammer of the Gods too - Amulet need to have atleast 30 Spirit to use
Herald of Ash - With new
Quicksand Hourglass that now grant Skill Speed instead of Cast Speed, 
Sunder has too much attack speed with Cadence that it reach over 6 uses in 4 seconds disabling it, so change it to Supercritical. Try Life Leech III on whatever clearing skill you use - Use normal support in place of special supports like Rigwald's Ferocity because its not worth spending 50 Div on single support :D
- Get double corrupted
Wanderlust with 2 sockets and Resist corrupted enchant until you can afford 
Legacy of Wanderlust as well as insanely good ES Boots that you will not ever replace
About Leech in 0.5
- Build use
Soul Tether to get ES Leech, so normally when you hit something when your Life isn't full, Leech will start, fill your Life and then apply remaining recovery to ES. - But if you hit something with full Life, Leech will not apply to ES because your Life is full
- To fix that, build used old
Fast Metabolism that caused Leech not be removed on Full Life, so you could get ES Leech from Soul Tether even on Full Life - But now that Leech is limited to 1 stack, if your skill cost Life, you will not need Fast Metabolism, because before each use of skill you will spend Life on it and then get that Leech stack that will apply to ES
- Aside of that Fast Metabolism no longer grant "Leech is not removed on Full Life" and now
Vaal Pact does it, but it's out of reach for this build, unless 
Flesh Crucible is used - So either we take Vaal Pact that will cost 1 more point than Fast Metabolism used to, or it will be fine without Vaal Pact and build saves 10 points!
If you want to try 
Herald of Ice:
- Swap
Blackflame to 
Polcirkeln - Swap
Overwhelming Presence to Herald of Ice with Cold Attunement, Magnified Area II, Cold Mastery, Elemental Armament II - Swap Ancestral Call II or Close Combat II to Cold Attunement on
Mace Strike - Can swap Supercritical to Cold Attunement on
Sunder or whatever skill you use - Preferably to get
Heart of the Well with Extra Cold + Extra Chaos Damage - You want to keep
Herald of Ash because Herald of Ice is not consistent when let's say map has %Increased Ailment Threshold, %Increased Resistances for Mobs, or you don't have Crit Shrine - Clearing become better, but Ignite Damage from
Perfect Strike is very noticeably smaller
Benefits of using Chronomancer compare to Lich or Pathfinder
- Flexible Gloves Slot because Chronomancer has 20% Slower Expire Rate on Ascendancy Tree, so it's not needed to push
Temporal Chains Curse Magnitude as high as on Lich or Pathfinder 
Temporal Rift with new Phased Form ascendancy for 30% Less Damage Taken- Quicksand Hourglass now has 0-60% Skill Speed, making it fastest version out of all 3
How build works
- Core items are two
The Hammer of Faith, that grant random Shrine Buff for 20 Seconds every 10 Seconds - It's strong Effect, but has downsides:
- When you swap out to second weapon set, all Shrine Buffs disappear
- It ignore your current Shrine buffs, so it can give same Shrine Buff you already have
- This makes really hard to have high uptime on good Shrine Buffs - To make it last longer you can either get Slower Expire Rate of Buffs, and self inflict Temporal Chains which grant "Other Effects Expire 25% Slower"
- Slower Expire Rate is capped at 75%, which means any Buffs last 4 times as long
- So build uses both of these things, and it's reason why it's Chronomancer
- Chronomancer has 20% Slower Buff Expire Rate from 2 small passives in her ascendancy tree
- Whole passive tree has another two passives with 10% Slower Buff Expire Rate, while we only need one of them
- Then we self inflict Temporal Chains
Cospri's Will makes Curses you inflict have Infinite Duration, which means you only need to castTemporal Chains once per area as long as you didn't swap accidentally- And to inflict Temporal Chains on yourself, build use newly added Atziri's Allure Support which simply reflect Curses you inflict back to you
- To counter huge Slow Effect from Temporal Chains we use
Wanderlust which makes you ignore Slow from Temporal Chains while keeping full effect of "Slower Expire Rate" part. - Build get enough Curse Magnitude to reach cap of 75% Slower Expire Rate of Buffs, meaning that now Shrine Buffs from The Hammer of Faith last 80 Seconds
Quest Rewards
- Venom Draught: Stun Threshold
- Halls of the Dead: 5% Fire/Lightning/Cold Resists
- Qimah: 15% ES, 3% Movespeed, +5% All Ele Resists
Other stuff
- Since build use
Giant's Blood, we get half as much Life from Strength, while still need to get decent amount of Strength to equip The Hammer of Faith - So instead of running around with ~2k Life, there's very good solution - Black Scythe Training Keystone passives which you get from
Heroic Tragedy (Vorana) - We already not getting much Life form Strength, so instead we get a lot of %Increased Energy Shield from Black Scythe Training - 1% ES per 2 Strength
- Since build need a lot of Strength for Maces, and Int for Energy Shield Armor, perfect solution is
Astramentis, which simply grant more than +100 to All Attributes instantly fixing any Attribute Requirements - Then to make mapping much smoother, and have overall good survivability we use
Soul Tether that allow to Leech Energy Shield when Life is full, that's why 
Fast Metabolism is allocated - Normal Soul Tether won't work, you need one that doesn't have "Lose 5% ES per second", and to do that you use Vaal Cultivation Orb, which replace 1-2 Random Modifiers on this Belt with new Modifiers. So ideally you have to hit "Lose 5% ES" mod and keep ES Leech, as well as not getting "Lose #% Life" mod that can possibly appear when you use Vaal Cultivation Orb
- If Slower Expire Rate wasn't capped at 75%, this build can reach 100% Slower Expire Rate, then any temporary buffs would be permanent - Shrines, Charms, any buffs from Skills and Supports, but unfortunately there's cap
Shrine buffs you get for 80 seconds
- Acceleration Shrine: 40% Movespeed and 60% Skill Speed
- Diamond Shrine: All Hits are Critical Hits
- Replenishing Shrine: 10% Life/Mana Regen
- Resistance Shrine: +50% Ele Resists and +10% Max Ele Resists
- Massive Shrine: 50% Increased Life and 100% Increased Global Defenses (ES, Armor, Evasion)
- Divine Shrine: Cannot be Damaged
- Seeking Shrine: +100% Item Rarity
- Enlightening Shrine: +100% Experience Gain
Other things that work with 75% Slower Expire Rate
You can use this build as core for your own build with 75% Slower Expire Rate, it's not limited only to using The Hammer of Faith while it's one of best uses for that.
Headhunter stacks will last ~1min 48 sec, because Mods you get not count as Buffs
Death Rush will last 16 Seconds.- Any Charm Effects.
- Any Temporary Effects from Supports, for example:
- Kurgal's Leash will last 1 minute.
- Arcane Surge will last 40 Seconds.
-
Walking Calamity should last 40 Seconds since it's buff, before any Skill Duration, which seems kinda OP, might do build with it.
-
Lunar Blessing lasts 25 Seconds before any Skill Duration passives.
- Einhar's Beastrite will last 9 minutes, but there's issues with this support (read below)
Issues
- Einhar's Beastrite also scale with with Slower Expiry Rate, but only from Temporal Chains, it will last 9 Minutes.
But problem is that whenever you kill anything with Skill you use with that support, buffs you have will disappear, don't know if its bug or not, but to use this support you basically have to sacrifice 1 skill slot because its something you will use once or maybe couple times if you find rare with decent mods. - Maps with Temporal Chains mod are really bad, they overwrite your infinite Temporal Chains so you have to swap and lose shrine buffs to get your of Temp Chains back.
