[3.15]Archmage Ball Lightning Hierophant, will it work in Expedition?
|
I see many people struggle with this build and honestly, i have no idea why, i killed every single boss in this game with similair build (i did go for more tankyness) and its still work in progress (only one awakened support gem no quality on second ring and belt no 21/23 gems). I seen many people here was complaining about stuns or geting oneshoted, for stuns there are many solutions but for me one was best in slot and its skyforth (preety cheap this league), second thing this build sustain is based on 2 main things MoM and Agnostic but to make it work you need to have proper mana sustain according to PoB i have 4.2k mana regen now with RF turned on and without mana flask on also you need enought of hp pool to avoid one shots (i think 3.8k is resonable) my hp pool is 4,7k now and 9.8k unreserved mana gona reach 5k hp and 10k unreserved mana with 60% MoM at lvl 100 when i will finnaly qual my jewelery. If someone is curious here is my PoB:
https://pastebin.com/sv8qzLhD and here are items im using: So as you see its nothing extremly special, also now im running labs to get ball lightning AoE enchant and belt AoE enchant becouse all you see in PoB and in game tooltip in terms of DPS is not relevant becouse its counted like you would hit target only once, and Ball Lightning is hitting enemy multiple times and at 31 AoE Radius you get another hit on enemy and that thats not reflected in tooltip or PoB. Also for Uber Atziri or reflect maps im changing my helmet and two-stone ring to and pantheon to Yugul. Last edited by Iean on May 24, 2021, 9:10:00 AM

Can someone give me advice on what to upgrade?
| |
" I would say rings for ones that would give you health, mana, mana regen, and regen mana per sec, than belt with mana recovery rate, after that try to get some cluster jewels, there are 2 mandatory passives imo, scintillating idea and mindfulness, also get enchant on boots, later on armour and at the end at belt helmet and weapon. I would personaly change that helmet to crown of inward eye or glimpse of chaos. After doing all those upgrades go for gem upgrades for awakened. I also noticed you dont have quality on yours gems, and that something that lose you lot of dmg. | |

Besides Divergent Ball Lightning, what are some other good alt quality gems to get?
| |
" I agree about everything you said but 1 question. Isn't Openness better than mindfulness? It gives higer mana and mana regen according to pob regardless of stationary or moving. |
|
" How can it give more regen if its just flat mana ? After i checked in PoB (community fork version) it gives 400 more unreserved mana but 380 less mana regen. And since when we casting we are stationary its in my opinion better to have more regen when we can get hit, it also allow us to use vall RF without fear that we would kill ourselfs. Agnostic can consume tons of mana, and more mana sustain we have the more true sustain we have :) If it would be some kind of hybrid cast on crit build when we are moving all time than Openness would be better, but since we kinda stunlocked when casting due to double spellecho i think its better to have 380 more regen than another 400 unreserved mana. | |

Small A9 Sirius fight with bit more tanky version of this build but as you see it works damn fine :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lootnzdG6ZA&t=5s

Ended up playing non-crit build with some pretty mediocre/budget gear that I scrapped together to see if I could do A9 Sirus, perfectly capable, even tanked the die beam.
Any suggestions on what I might get as the next biggest upgrade? I was looking at a Glimpse of Chaos, but I don't think I might be able to afford losing all the resists, while still running the Essence Worm for the Wrath. | |
" Hi, i'm currently following your pastebin and i'm still leveling my gems. I have few questions if you please... - Why the vigilant strike setup in the golves? I literally have no room on my keys to use this skill.... - Why Blade Blast/Wave of conv/Sniper's mark setup on the helmet? I can't cast them by myself... - I gues you use Smoke Mine/Sigil of Power/Arcanist Brand only while bossing, right? |
