[3.2] LL, VD, Poets Pen, Indigon, 11.4k mana, 9.9k energy shield, 325k avg hit, Uber Elder viable

Having 11,445 mana means that Skyforth give you the equivalent of 57,225 life for stun calculations - you do not get stunned.


Heirophant's Sanctuary of Thought means running 3 purities, discipline and Clarity can be run simultaneously. Clarity and Purity of Lightning can be swapped to be at 21% life to run Hall of Grandmasters safely. Heirophant's Sanctuary of Thought also provides around 5,000 energy shield.


Heirophant's Arcane blessing provides all elemental ailment immunity and Shakari's pantheon bonus provides poison immunity. This means only a bleed flask is required, adding flexibility in flask selection. Arcane surge acts as a pseudo 7th link.

Massive boss damage. Its disgusting.

Map Mods which are not safe:


Map Mods which are not optimal: (Avoid running T16's with these modifiers, all other maps are okay.)

Indigon does not work in POB, to see how much to add look here:

Passive Tree Link:


Pantheon:


The mandatory Keystones are:


Leveling:

Skyforth:

Stun immunity, enables reservation, provides substantial Energy Shield due to the large quantity of mana.

Atziri's Acuity:

Leech rate and mana from intelligence. Doubling the rate of recovered energy shield makes having 10,000 feel like much more. The Vaal Grace can be swapped for Blood Rage L1/Q16 and Lesser Multiple Projectiles in Shavronne's Wrappings can be substituted for Chain for Uber Elder, to abuse Arachnoxia's buff from Soul of Arakaali. Just make sure the loss of attack speed from removing Lesser Multiple Projectiles is equal to the attack speed gained using Blood Rage, to not go over 4.8 attacks per second.

Indigon:

Converts mana to spell damage, approximately 6900% for the current version of this build.

Shavronne's Wrappings:

Low life bonus damage multiplier acts as a pseudo 8th link. Reserving things on life enables running of 3 purity auras. Must be 6 link to increase initial mana cost of Frenzy. The links and supports are designed to increase mana cost and attack rate. 4 or more green sockets are required.

Poet's Pens:

Other cast socketed gem on "x" event are too strict, Poet's Pen stands head and shoulders above all other auto casting items, especially given that this build does not have room for critical strike chance and multiplier.

Rings:

One must have dexterity, one must have Warlord's Mark on hit, both must have good resistances. The exact amount of dexterity required is 38. You must also make sure Fire is the highest resistance for Wise Oak.

The Flow Untethered:

Now properly works with the action speed granted by the Harbinger and also increases ES recovery rate. While a rare belt with cooldown recovery speed and mana recovery rate is an option, I prefer this much more. This is one of the few choices the build has. With this belt at 20% cooldown reduction, approach but do not reach 4.8 attacks per second on Frenzy. Lower quality on support gems may be used for a higher roll Flow Untethered. The buff granted by the Harbinger now works with Poet's Pen perfectly and it also reduces time to lightning warp with the offhand weapon swap set.

Atziri's Foible:

Fulfills attribute requirements and grants massive amounts of mana and energy shield.

Jewels:


Flasks:

Again, there is little flexibility in sockets because of the 5 auras being run.
At least 1 level 4 Enlightens is mandatory to have 23 life unreserved for normal maps and 21% for HOGM. These gems currently take up my helmet and boot slots completely.

For ease of chroming, in my gloves I have a cast when damage taken Immortal Call setup with Vaal Grace, and I swap in a L1/Q16 Blood Rage granting 9% attack speed and remove 9% attack speed on Lesser Multiple Projectiles in my Shavronne's Wrappings for Chain for Uber Elder. For all other content, I keep Vaal Grace in for extra durability.

Poets Pen gem setups are also fixed, make sure that Unearth is socketed in the left hand and is above Bodyswap in links. This is due to the programmed casting order for anything which automates spells. Likewise, Immortal Call should be before Blood Rage in the gloves.

My links for Shavronne's Wrappings are just to scale mana cost, you can use whatever you like so long as you approach but do not exceed 4.8 attacks per second.

In the offhand weapon set, I use Lightning Warp + Reduced Duration in one pen and Arc + Lightning Penetration + Portal in the other. This is how I leave maps, and gap jump quickly. Removing cast speed from the LW equation, running a Silver, Quicksilver, 30% movespeed boots and Harbinger of Time makes it a very fast movement skill.

The Watcher's Eye is 35 exalts. One without the clarity mana recovery rate is 10 exalts.
6 linked high roll Shavronne's Wrappings is 6 exalts.
Skyforth are 2.5 exalts.
Atziri's Acuity is 5 exalts.
Rings will set you back 5 exalts.
All other jewels should approach 2 exalts maximum.
A 60% Indigon costs 3 exalts.
2 Poet's Pens cost ~1 exalt.
The Flow Untethered high roll 3 exalts.
2 level 4 enlightens are 8 exalts.

Total cost is ~45.5 exalts or ~70.5 with the Watcher's Eye I have.

Edit: Bonus ES is now 12 exalts, and double clarity jewel is now 50 exalts by itself.

A Volatile Dead helm enchant on Indigon costs more than the entire build.

95-96:


100: (Remove 2 mana nodes from 95-96)

Q: Why don't you use Summon Phantasm with Arcane Surge instead?
A: Mana cost multiplier. It is too drastic in altering ramp up time.
