[3.15] Indigon mana stacking Kinetic Bolt Ballista

all damage supports got nerfed. PoB is not updated yet to calculate the diff.
mana flasks also got nerfed as well but should be still usable but expect less sustain.
utility flasks also got hit.

Chain Breaker got nerfed adding rage cost to skills which gets increased by indigon making all skill unusable. So like many other builds, free rage is gone
Also it seems that Kinetic Bolt shotgunning was fixed so now Barrage support is better now instead of Greater Volly

Akane Indigon mana miner is a popular and strong build this league.
I tried to play it but mines are not for me so I tried to make something else with the same concept.
The main idea is to use Indigon increased spell damage and life recovery of flasks and then stack as much as possible flasks cluster jewels to have insane life and mana recovery while using the mana as offensive tool as well.
Also the build uses Berserk as offensive /defesive tool using lethal pride for rage generation which makes you lose rage if you hit targets.
For Akane build it was using mines so that hit always counts for the casting mine so there is no rage loss on hit
to make use of the same concept and totems came to my mind and as we already get 1 extra totem from scion-heiro so I wanted to give it shot
when it comes to totems and since the main damage is from mana ballistas has advantage over spell totems as you can get more of them
and so I don't lose on Indigon increased spell damage I decided to use a wand skill
the skill that makes most use of that is Kinetic Bolt since it has 200% spell damage multiplier
I also found it recently that kinetic bolt can shotgun, before that I was using barrage support but even if that fixed barrage still do good damage

my current setup is no way near optimized. I am a casual player with limited time and currency. I am just putting stuff together to see how the idea works with what I have at the moment

So far I was able to kill A8 Sirus and even Maven on the first try (but not deathless as I kept running into beams and miss the memory game)

- tanky (insane regen - damage taken as mana - high dodge chance - berserk - fortify)
- high damage
- fast clear with screen wide range
- can do wide range of map mods (ele reflect is annoying but still can be done)

- hard to see stuff sometimes with KB * 6 totems (mtx helped a bit but still..)
you can use another wand skill but you will have to anoint "wandslinger"
- manastorm shield uses all of the mana so that can be a bit risky sometimes. but with insane mana regeneration from flasks it is mostly not a problem

and the main mvp is the medium cluster jewels with Liquid Inspiration and Distilled Perfection

current PoB: https://pastebin.com/wpUwtfnK
planning PoB: https://pastebin.com/HujFurU3 -> with KB shotgun you can get up to 6m dps per totem. with 6 totems you get more than 36m dps

It is hard to level with this build since it requires key uniques and cluster jewels to feel good. I actually leveled this character as a miner which is strong but I didn't like the play style

If starting with it and don't like mines as well. I recommend starting as Explosive arrow or Elemental hit ballista build until you can farm currency/uniques to switch to the mana version. if you find a quillrain bow it will carry you to maps

I made theoretical tree and leveling gear that helps if you found them in leveling.
