[3.15]Archmage Ball Lightning Hierophant, will it work in Expedition?

The Vaal Mask would be better then my current helmet with ball lighting 40%? I have about 1700 mana regen and 7800 mana.

Could someone look at my gear and see what I could change etc.

Change your tree to this https://pastebin.com/NNMqHpx7 for 100k more DPS. Cursed Concoction is not worth the travel nodes, just put Warding on your quicksilver flask. Try to improve dex on your gear to unallocate the dex node.

Conductivity rings are not worth it, a high mana/crafted light dmg opal ring without conductivity is a 6% dps increase and allows a better anointment.

Your abyss jewel is doing almost nothing for you, get better mana on it, get life, and it's a great place to pick up phasing on kill.

Both small cluster should be Scintillating Idea rather than having one with Openness.

Get a Watcher's Eye with lightning penetration with Wrath, that alone is a 9.3% dps increase.

2.2M SDPS per ball

Character "PhilMyBalls"
3.8M SDPS per ball

So you suggest him to lower his DPS? Really?

No, that would be silly. You're not looking at apples-to-apples config/flask/RF POB setups when you compare those numbers. When you align those, my suggestions add at least 130k DPS.

Cursed Concoction is more about the +mana and sustain - the curse removal is just a bonus. I think a lot of us don't even use a mana flask any more anyway, the regen from the flask is pretty minimal compared to general mana regen.

Where are you getting Conductivity from if not your ring? Are you putting both curses on Arcanist Brand?

I was playing more defensive option of this build, Just completed last of challenge i needed, im done with this league.
My PoB:
https://pastebin.com/Ly6XfzwQ almost 5k life over 10k mana over 6 k mana regen, almost 6 millions sirius dps.

Is the simulacrum variant still viable for 3.14?

Yeah didn't notice about that. Thought you turned everything on by default.

4,040,869 vs 4,321,582 DPS per first BL's Ball at first glance.
