[3.16] Enki's Archmage Hierophant - a beginner-friendly Lightning Caster

Since at end-game we're using The Agnostic, shouldn't we drop the 3 skill points from Profane Chemistry and replace our life flask?

Hi,i'm currently clearing T13~ maps, and just bought my 6LPledge.
Is it really interessing to switch for multiple projectile for trash ?


I'm asking myself what next upgrade must be, and i think, refound some points and get a cluster jewel and get some flask (armor, ..) what do you think about it ?

Hello
yes you can drop the whole path and get a medium cluster jewel which grants unnerve on hit and culling strike... also you can get a small cluster jewel with stubborn student to give you more armor and such

Hello i dont know what your budget is but make sure to get the mana nodes you are missing as soon as possible like the ones next to scion starting zone you can drop whole profane chem and drop the life flask as well and save like 9 talent points from that side of your talent tree and get a medium cluster jewel along side of your large cluster jewel with pretty interesting buffs like stubborn student, mindfulness and such ... for example
get a large cluster jewel then use a medium cluster jewel with unnerve+culling strike then use another small cluster jewel for mindfulness then for the other slot you can use another small cluster jewel with stubborn student. and left part of your talent tree (purity of flesh) you can save two points there too you can drop divine judgement as well for more mana nodes trust me mana nodes do more for you.
Your watcher eye is also trash you need to make sure to get the one with 10% damage taken from mana before life that alone will get you more tanky
you can drop practical application if you got enough dex as well... dont miss out on shock resistance next to mind over matter and also if you got cloak of defiance you dont need mind over matter anymore save a talent there...
Get a armor flask something like this which get used when you use your guard skill makes you more tanky

also i recommend this flask its pretty nice to have


Since you are asking questions like have multiple projectile for trash i assume you struggle with clear ? with orb of storms ? if so get one of these


you are missing a lot of upgrades which i assume you are still working on
you need a ring with curse on hit (conductivity) if you are using the gloves you will need a anoint called whisper of doom to apply extra curse if you dont care about the temporal chain from gloves you can still apply conductivity first so no problem on that part.
make sure your large cluster jewel got corrosive elements as well its pretty nice damage boost
as far as your items goes try to get some more resistance on them and some dex on them .. divine your chest its important also you are missing a proper head and boot enchant which is explained in the guide
Work on these for now

I was just wondering can i use bottled faith instead of diamond flask ? Especialy on standart where i have legacy one. And second question will this build benefit from HH or will it just be a wasted HH ?

Its really up to you but i dont really think you need more crit ...
every build benefits from HH but a belt with increased mana recovery rate + cooldown recovery rate on your belt would be the best for you (shaper influence )

I spent 10 ex and I'm dying lot please can un help me? It's my pastebin;

Thanks a lot for taking time to answer with such a detailled explanation !

My budget isn't really big for now, I invested aroung 1ex to get the "basic" & 5ex for the 6L Pledge. That left me with 2ex, but i'm farming to get more!

i'll follow your advices ! Thx again :)

Just a quick announcement: Enki's BL archmage Heiro is incredible. Xxxtreme damage, and quite tanky. One shots happen, but one (maybe 2) shots happen to 10k hp max block glads too, so fuck it. Mom/agnostic feels amazing.

I made the following mods:

-Replaced Greater Multiple Projectiles with Lesser Multiple Projectiles. The difference in "more/less" damage multiplier is HUGE. I am still clearing extremely well with LMP, especially in tight corridors where your 4th and 5th projectiles would hit the walls instead.

-Removed Lightning Penetration from OoS, making it a 5L. 6th slot is used for lvl 1 Blood Rage. Onslaught from OoS, and frenzy charges from BR makes you zoom zoom because you're locked down for less time (from PoH Greater Spell Echo).

-Replaced Efficacy with Sigil of Power.

-Replaced Sniper's Mark with Assassin's Mark, replaced Increased Duration with Purifying Flame. Arcanist brand casts often, so Increased Duration is wasted. Sniper's/Assassin's Marks are personal preference (flasks "sustain" or more damage). Purifying Flame is for consecrated ground.

Playstyle is to send your sparkling balls ahead of you, and then just walk past the corpses. For bossing, Pledge of Hands sends out a lot of damage per cast (swap out LMP for Slower Projectiles). You cast, then you move. Do not hold down the right mouse button and pray.

Your Chaos Res is a bit low, try to go for at least 0, you could change some crafts on gear, you have fire way over cap maybe change for chaos.

Try to get % mana regen rate on ring.

Change Orb of Storms to armor, 5 link is ok.

Put Ball lighting on Staff

Make sure you are always casting arcane cloak, best idea is to put it on left click so you cast it every time it's up when you move. wont even notice it with good mana regen.

Get Sniper's mark to level 10.

Change you leap slam gem for a level 1 gem a leave it at level 1, leveling doesnt help.

Leap slam away when you see damage coming, bounce to a clear spot, move as much as posible, cast orb of storms and ball lighting to kill tough enemies, check your mana life constantly if it's not holding run and try to kite enemies if posible.

Hope this helps, good luck
