Hey! Pretty fun build so far. I just started messing with this tonight. I have one question. I just hit maps, and I'm having a bit of a struggle maintaining my 5 brands. I always seem to have them fall off, and find myself in a bad spot, trying to re-cast them while mobs are around- which leaves my mana pool low, and puts myself in danger. I assume this is something you just get the hang of through practice? Or do you have any tips on when you like to recast them, if at all. I always assumed that the brands stuck around as long as you were constantly on the recall button. Thanks in advance!	Posted by SCUBAST3V3N#1322 on Apr 17, 2020, 7:26:16 AM Quote this Post
I'm "kinda" following this guide but i'm doing it my way. This is my first league and i'm probably doing a lot wrong. Any advice would be nice. https://pastebin.com/nEFz1hRb Thank you^^.

Also higher Brand Recall + Empower to reduce the CD as much as possible, when you manage to bring it to 1.2s or close to that your Brands expire a lot less. Also get a Cinderswallow, that Mana and ES on kill refill is just so good. Cast Brands, kill one pack of monsters --> back to full Mana.

Silly question so bear with me please. I have seen in videos or in discussions that some people unequip Archmage support gem before casting their brands. Anyone know it they would still do their full damage like this (I thought it was directly relating to the mana "spent" when casting them) ? If this works this could be of big help when dying in simulacrum or just at the start of each map... Thanks !	Posted by XorianHubclan#1725 on Apr 17, 2020, 8:16:24 AM Quote this Post

How well does this build work with delving? I love to delve. :)	Posted by StealthReborn--#9838 on Apr 17, 2020, 10:03:16 AM Quote this Post
Your 10m + DPS per brand endgame setup, doesn't have a remove/immune freeze flask. Are you not worried about freeze at this time? I've got everything now, but still using that freeze immune ring. Wondering if I should switch it out. Thanks for this build. It's gotten me further than I've ever been in poe on Xbox. Sericus	Posted by Sericus#0833 on Apr 17, 2020, 12:01:35 PM Quote this Post

I know this doesn't have crit, cast speed or super high spell damage but that total mana roll makes me go from 6954 mana to 7897 mana. I'm not well versed on casters, usually play melee. Was thinking of actually throwing on trigger socketed spells and replacing Apep's. Is the wand actually not as good as I think it is? " Laxxus wrote: ToolTip shows Average damage of a Brand per use, not DPS. So it doesn't take Cast Speed into account which Apep's has a lot of. Ok makes sense. Let me ask this. Would you think throwing trigger a socketed spell on this would put this higher than Apep's or just keep trying on another wand?	Posted by ThorTheGray#4060 on Apr 17, 2020, 12:06:37 PM Quote this Post
