Build Update: Chronomancer Flameblast now with 100% Temp chains aura!
Quick update video to my Flameblast Chronomancer build.

By combining a level 19 blasphemy with a level 25 Temp chains, encumbrance and heightened curse support, all the slow magnitude notables on the tree, 134% increased aura effect (8-9 jewel sockets + bolstering presence), 30% slow magnitude glove corruption, and 44% curse effect (Master of Hexes + Zone of Control). You can get a 100% temp chains effect even with the Blasphemy penalty, causing white mobs to be essentially unable to move.
This is completely excessive and not necessary for the build but its entertaining.
Magic, rares and unique mobs have a less slow effect modifiers applied to them so they wont be frozen completely but chill and the chornomancer Apex of the moment aura will work on top of temp chains making them still move very slowly.
Things can still shoot you from outside your AoE range though as well as rare mob modifiers working at full speed.
For real mapping or bossing I would probably drop a few of the nodes and jewels in favor of more damage notables. Even if you don't have 100% temp chains, you will still have 50% chill slow as well as the chronomancer Apex of the moment slow ascendancy aura on top everything so even bosses get slowed way down.
This will probably get nerfed even if it isnt a top tier DPS build, fair warning.

Very surprised they didn't cap curse effectiveness in this game since 100% Temp Chains was achieved in PoE1 years ago and nerfed so that you couldn't get 100% anymore.
Fun looking idea. Query: is flameblast the only choice for damage or are other other alternatives for flavor?
The 200% flavor chronomancer lol
Awesome work. I’m playing flameblast with cast on ignite detonate dead as a storm weaver doing double chill. It’s very fun. I use blasphemy with temp chains or enfeeble then swap for for flammability with boosted curse. Doing CI with heavy investment for ES recharge. I’m crushing T9 now but I think by the time I hit t15 I’ll need more single target damage. The DD and ignite proliferation is great for large clear.
I honestly don’t understand why they decoupled rotation speed from action speed.
Awesome, I've been doing similar with blasphemy just with hexblast for offense and recoup w/ damage taken as mana rather than ES for defense. Just got my temp chains up to 71%, was trying to buy some more jewels earlier today and they were harder to get, must have been because of this post :D
The glove corrupt was main thing I was missing, got up to 88% with that, neat. Think switching my wand from +4 chaos skills to +4 spell skills would get me close to 100%
