Stormweaver's Shaper of Storms/Winter

These nodes do not appear to work properly. I was playing a duo of two Stormweavers where my friend was doing Lightning damage and I was doing Cold damage. We had no issues applying our respective ailments at strong magnitudes.

But after we put points into the Shaper nodes, so that my friend who was doing Lightning damage, could now Chill, and I did the reverse and could now apply Shock, we both had an extremely hard time applying those new ailments.

Our original ailments were applying just as easily as before, but there was a very clear discrepancy on how difficult it was to apply the new ailments.

It just felt very off, like there's something wrong or that the damage calculations aren't being done properly, making the ailment applications gained from the Shaper nodes feel as if they're not being applied as they should.

Similar issue here. I am currently using spark and call of the brotherhood with shaper of storms. I cannot shock, only freeze. It causes the damage split in my tooltip to be odd also, showing partial lightning damage even though I'm 100% converting. Something very odd is going on here. Please fix!

To the guy converting to cold with brotherhood.

It does not convert archmage if you're using that.

Conversion happens before in poe2 and not after

Yes the talents do not seem to work at all.
I build a quarterstaff attack Sorc, intending to go lightning damage and apply freeze using Shaper of Winter. The talent description states hits, no spell restriction, so i expected that to work with my lightning quarterstaff skills.
Sadly i just found out it is not working at all. I am only applying freeze build up based on the cold damage added by the talent Essence of the Mountain (5% of damage as extra cold).

Guess I'll have to come up with another build that's not going to work. Not sure I'll get to maps in the EA...

I just tested both Shaper of Winter and Storms passives. Either they are bugged, or they are utterly imbalanced.


I'm playing a fire mage and I could barely apply any chill before enemies died, when testing Shaper of Winter. The effect was there, it just did not ever go beyond 7%.

Then I tested the lightning version. Again I hardly ever saw, and very briefly, an icon that must have meant I shocked someone.
