3.25: Divine Blessing has been removed.
Some pretty bad Act 4 - 5 and then t11-t13 Map RNG leading to a longer run. The build itself has in my opinion good clear but was pretty squishy. DO NOT switch to Arc TOO EARLY like I did. I should have used Pyroclast till I got a 4 Link with Minefield socketed in.

b-b-g|b-[bg]-b|g-b-b|nne|rint|Flam
*Support Gems*
Rolling Magma - Elemental Proliferation - Arcane Surge (or Combustion later on)
At 12: Fire Trap - Combustion - Elemental Proliferation
Now I made a mistake and switched to Arc TOO EARLY.
So this is how I would do it if I had to do it again
At 28: Pyroclast - Swift Assembly - Charged Mines - Trap and Mine Damage
At 38: Arc - High-Impact Mine - Minefield - Charged Mines
Do not use Minefield without Charged Mines. Otherwise throwing Mines will feel very clunky.
*Aura Setup*
Act 2 - Skitterbots
Act 3 - Skitterbots & Grace
With Eldritch Battery and all the reservation efficiency nodes near the Shadow area allocated you can go for
Wrath & Grace & Skitterbots as well as Zealotry - Divine Blessing - Inspiration if you have enough Energy Shield
*Utility Gems*
Wave of Conviction (Act 2)
Flammability (Act 3)
Use Assassins Mark after you get Arc.
Shield Charge - Faster Attacks (Act 3 Library)
Flame Dash (Act 1)
Detonate Mines - Automation
Smite - Increased Duration later on once you have "Auras have increased duration" mastery allocated
Once dual curse: Arcanist Brand - Conductivity - Wave of Conviction

Path of Exile 2 Sorceress Chronomancer Leveling Build Guide
*Support Gems*
Frost Bomb - Magnified Effect - Execute
Frostbolt - Unleash - Controlled Destruction (before Cold Snap)
Frostbolt - Scattershot - Arcane Tempo (after Cold Snap)
Cold Snap - Unleash - Controlled Destruction
Cold Snap is used on top of Frostbolt to explode the projectiles. If you do want to do this you can continue with the above mentioned Frostbolt setup.
Hypothermia - Heightened Curse - Persistence
After you get Frost Wall you use Frost Walls and Ice Nova to clear. Ice Nova is used to explode Frost Walls which will deal Cold Damage upon being destroyed. I also use Frost Bomb to destroy Frost Walls. Ideally, you have the Shattered Crystal Notable on the tree once you start using Frost Walls.
Frost Wall - Spell Cascade - Magnified Effect - Icicle (Tier 2)
You can swap Icicle with a damage support against bosses.
Ice Nova - Unleash - Controlled Destruction - Arcane Tempo/Inspiration
Frost Bomb - Considered Casting - Ingenuity - Execute
Skill Gem Upgrade Order is:
Cold Snap - Frost Bomb - Frostbolt.
After you have Frost Walls
Frost Walls - Ice Nova - Frostbomb
*Spirit Gems*
Arctic Armour
After the second spirit quest you can go for
Cast on Freeze - Comet - Impetus
I had a different setup because I reached 41 (Comet requirement) at the end of this video.
*Gear Progression*
Look for +Levels to Spell Skills Gem at the Vendor. +Levels to Gems will provide flat damage. %increased Damage is important too but I would prioritise additional Levels to Gems over that. You can also get +Levels to Spell Skills on Shields (Focus), Wands and Amulet in the Normal Campaign.
Additional Gem Levels will increase the base Mana Cost significantly. You might have to use Inspiration as a Support Gem. Make sure to upgrade your Mana Flask regularly so that isnt necessary. Also, check the vendor for Movement Speed Suffix on Boots.
*Resistances*
For Act 1 you want Cold Resistance. In Act 2 you want Lightning Resistance for the final Act 2 Boss. If you do the Elemental Offering (Act 2, Buried Shrines) you can choose a Topaz/Ruby/Sapphire Ring. Vendors can also sell Resistance Rings. If you do not have enough Resistance Rings I would consider gambling for one at the Vendor (Risu at Act 2, Alva at Act 3) if you have sufficient Gold. The Act 3 Boss will cause all 3 Elemental Damage types. You can socket Glacial/Desert/Storm to get 12% Cold/Fire/Lightning Resistance.

First pathing route is Exploit the Elements. Then Roil, Endless Blizzards, Shattered Crystal.
Then you can go Climate Change and Overexposure or if you want more AoE you start pathing towards Reverbation.

Run was done in 0.2
Nerf in 0.3:
Frost Wall: Now deals 80% less damage in the first 0.5 seconds of its duration.
Frost Bomb: Now deals 7-11 Cold Damage at Gem level 1 (previously 16-23), scaling up to 238-538 at Gem level 20 (previously 467-701). Now has a Cooldown of 6 seconds (previously 3.5), and now has a 4 second Detonation Time instead of a 3 second Duration before Exploding. Now Chills Enemies as though dealing 300% more Damage, and now applies Elemental Exposure instead of Cold Exposure. It initially applies 20% Elemental Exposure, and 2% per Pulse, up to a maximum of 50%. Quality now provides +0-10% more Maximum Elemental Exposure applied (previously 0-20% increased Cold Exposure Effect).
Cold Snap: Has been reworked, and renamed to Snap. It can now be used on any Orb spell or any frozen, shocked or ignited enemy, causing an explosion of the corresponding damage type and creating a remnant of the corresponding type from enemies. This explosion can chain react to a limited extent from enemies hit that are affected by the same ailment. Now deals 48-540 to 72-810 Cold Damage, 2-27 to 46-512 Lightning Damage, or 17-192 to 26-288 Fire Damage at Gem levels 5–20 (previously 70-670 to 105-1005 Cold Damage). Quality now grants 0-10% chance to spawn an additional remnant (previously 0-20% chance to not consume freeze).

*Act 1 Gems*
Frost Bomb - Spell Cascade - Concentrated Effect or Execute/Controlled Destruction if you dont like the small AoE
Essence Drain - Chain - Zenith/Swift Affliction
Contagion - Unleash - Magnified Effect
I would use Chaos DoT early on mainly for clear then drop those spells when you get Frost Wall at 31.
*Regex*
spell s|t speed|spell d|d block
(spell skill|cast speed|spell damage|increased block chance)
If you like to have more Defence I would use an increased block chance Shield instead of a Focus.
*Gear Progression*
Look for +Levels to Spell Skills Gem at the Vendor. +Levels to Gems will provide flat damage. %increased Damage is important too but I would prioritise additional Levels to Gems over that. You can also get +Levels to Spell Skills on Shields (Focus), Wands and Amulet.
Additional Gem Levels will increase the base Mana Cost significantly. You might have to use Inspiration as a Support Gem.
