wohooo arc has been buffed lets kick some merven ass..............

There's absolutely no references to Arc in the patch notes, so mind explaining where you got that from? Besides out of thin air?

Guys, this build lose a lot - 20% mana and 50% increased damage.

Necro Archmage - DEAD.

Scion lose 6% penetrate.
Hierophant get some buffs.

Dont sure about Elementalist.

While the Elementalist build is now going to be pretty great, the Necro build is definitely not dead.

Applying the nerfs in POB (I removed 24% in passive tree Increased Mana nodes and reduce my weapon's +% Spell Damage by 50%), my Shaper DPS goes down from 4.34m to 3.94m, which is 10%. 10% is a decent bit, but not a ton by any means, and the existing build is still very much viable.

I will be keeping a close eye on this build in the next few days, I am considering an Elementalist as my league starter, maybe with golems and Crackling Lance if the buff is good enough.
I am really curious to see how Enki will update this build.

I cant wait for Enki's new build and guide!

I think Crackling Lance will make a good gem swap. As is it got a 44% more case buff to added damage where most of our dps comes from. You'd want Intensify Support as well, but a 2 blue gem swap is no biggie for ho big of a dps boost it is on a boss like Sirius. I still expect it to be trash for clearing.

I am excited for so any Ascendencies that are completely viable. Bastion of Elements is an insanely OP defensive Ascendency. The golem one are always good. MoD an HoD and both very strong dps options. Shaper of Stem seems potent but probably the worst of the viable ones imo.

The biggest problem I think will be Mana sustain with Archmage.

I'm guessing we go Shaper of Storms/Winter/Bastion of Elements/Heart of Destruction? Seems solid to me.

90% sure thats the way.

Just a question, it's possible to respec your Ascendency? Because I'm not sure I want to play this league but stay in standard instead., but I assume the nerf is going to hit there too.

Yep! It just costs 5 refund points per ascendancy point. After you've refunded the whole tree, just redo the lab and you can change your ascendancy.
