Contagion League start Chronomancer build guide for Path of Exile 2! 💀☕

This Contagion + Essence Drain setup uses boosted recoup effects for insane survivability, smooth mapping, and strong bossing on a 10–15 Divine budget. In this video, I cover the passive tree, gem links, gear choices, and upgrades so you can clear T16 maps comfortably and tank hits while enjoying laid-back gameplay.

Perfect for league starters, budget players, and anyone who wants a chill but powerful Chaos build.
