The build’s core revolves around POE2 Currency two key melee skills—Hammer of the Gods and Supercharged Slam. Both are high-impact, long-cooldown abilities designed to destroy enemies in one or two hits. Hammer of the Gods is your primary area-of-effect tool, ideal for dealing with grouped enemies. Supercharged Slam, though recently nerfed, is still your most powerful single-target option. The 60% nerf means you’ll need to fine-tune your damage scaling and use it more tactically than ever before.

That’s where the Chronomancer’s unique strength comes in—cooldown manipulation. The Ascendancy passives and certain skill gems allow you to significantly reduce the wait time between these powerful slams. With enough investment, your main skills become available much more frequently, creating a smoother, more aggressive combat rhythm.

Filler skills are important too. While your primary slams recharge, you’ll need a consistent way to deal damage and generate resources. Perfect Strike fills this role well, offering a reliable melee attack that can be used continuously between cooldowns. It keeps your DPS steady and helps you build momentum for your next explosive slam.

To make the build viable, gear optimization is non-negotiable. You’ll need to hunt down cooldown reduction modifiers on specific gear slots—particularly helmets, gloves, and jewels. These upgrades are essential for reducing your skill downtime. Additionally, invest in a two-handed weapon with high base physical damage. Your slams scale off weapon damage, so the bigger the numbers, the better.

Survivability is another concern. As a melee build, you’ll be deep in the action, often surrounded by enemies. To counter this, prioritize gear with high life, armor, and elemental resistances. Defensive stats will let you survive long enough to unleash your damage. Don’t overlook utility flasks—they can provide massive boosts to POE 2 Chaos Orbs for sale armor or resistance when timed correctly.
