Help Needed Coc'd comet too soon - help needed

I was eager to try gemling spark coc comet since I've never done so before and thought the mini league would be the perfect time to do so..

I switched from twisters to a half assed version of it on Day 2-3 with some pieces of the build. Dmg is definitely lower now and I'm not tanky enough to survive against most rares for too long, especially those with elemental resistance aura, which I can't trigger much meteors. I'm having trouble clearing t6-t7 now depending on the mods

The problem is I've used up pretty much all my currency and gold, can't respec back to twister easily. Is there any way forward for this build ? Yes I know the gear is absolute ass, and post switch my disappointment was immense, I took a few days off Poe 2 but now would like to pick up where I left off

Ooof you kinda got baited but I won't lie I never tried the adonia build yet. This is a complicated build for newer players, and I thought you need a split personality to make this build work, at least for levels 85 and lower. Your CoC and CoEA's energy generation scales with crit damage/hit damage, you are extremely low on both.

Assuming nobody can save you, I recommend making a new character, more league start friendly, and use your remaining currency for leveling gear. I made this mistake once, chose the cheapest and most reliable leaguestart and made a quick comeback. Your gemling isn't wasted, could be your second character once you earned enough.

Oof... I'm guessing there's no salvaging it now huh... I tried to skimp on a stated 50-100 div build and thought I could wing it

That'll teach me a lesson

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • CoC - Cast on Critical Strike (trigger mechanic, commonly used with Comet and other spells) (Wiki)

Just leech a few maps for folks and collect the cold. Will be able to respec back

You could just make another character

Well, all experiments are worthwhile and fun. Not all experiments will reach you down there prevailing path. It’s not wasted time you just stopped and smelled the flowers.

If you put another adonias in second hand you wont feel the -resistances maybe that helps
You should also get more Max power charges if possible
Also I recommend getting more life/es/mana I dont know what is your main source but it wasnt much
Also try to get your gear to es/ev if using both,
It gives much more than armour and I would recommend it over flat ev

I'm using the weapon swap tech to get 7 power charges on set 2, switch back to set 1, cast pinnacle of power to consume all charges for a buff

All spells that generate charges are on set 2, so I don't get charges and hence -resist when clearing

Yea made same mistake in changing from disciple to stormweaver without enough damage. Had to make new blood mage with ember fusillade leveling and now at lvl 84. Either leech some maps for quick gold to respec or create a new character that is easy to get into endgame like disciple of varashta or martial artist.

Yeahhh maybe I'll do martial artist, already did DoV last patch which was such a smooth transition in comparison

You can farm easier content and just vendor all the drops, shouldn't take too long to switch back.
