CoC Comet build advice for a PoE2 beginner

Hi all, I am a new player coming from Diablo4 and this is my first season in PoE2. I started a Poisonarrow Parhfinder and got to level 98. I was lucky to find a Hinekora's Lock and now have around 1800 divs.

I am seeing people playing CoC Comet and really want to try it.

What is the best class and ascendancy to play it?

Who has the best build guides for this build?

Can you offer general tips and advices for this build?

I saw some reverse chill mechanics in youtube but it seems too complicated. I am more interested in leech mechanics.

Thanks in advance.

Witch blood mage or Druid Oracle I think, I have gone spark CoC but there’s multiple variants. With 1800 divs you can get a decent build going

I went Disciple of Varashta for the 60% of total ES turn into physical damage reduction (armour basically), which made me feel super tanky with 12k ES. I used frostbolt to proc it just because i enjoy ice explosions. There are better ways, like proccing it with a curse and cursed ground, gives more comets. My variant was limited by mana, and having to spam a instant recovery flask on bosses.

The curse variant uses your health as resource and casting spells damages you, and recoup heals you right back. So theres a endless loop there that works really well for this setup. This will probably get botched next patch.

How far do you want to go, either Oracle or Bloodmage are the best for CoC since both asc are focus around crits, but keep in mind, they have the best scaling but this mean you will have to invest a lot of currency if you really want to go insane on the dmg.

That said, you still can build a CoC with most ascendancies, it could also depend on what version you want to go, Frostbolt, Spark, Doedre's EW, etc.

I played one with sorcerers and used the djinn ascendancy. I leave you my guide if you are interested: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/2c7e85ea-4338-488e-a97d-5114f263d2d6/builds/3f4c6ca1-e7c9-4b03-a741-92179baf06dc

I like the djinn ascendancy because you can wear a focus and a two hand staff, the timelost jewels have a bigger range and you have a good defense too

Edit: I play on HC so this is not a glas cannon 😅

Thank you all for the replies. After checking the guide and watching videos, i started a Witch/Bloodmage. Doedre's variant is the plan.

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
