[3.25] The Lazy Nova - Archmage MoM Crit Ice Nova of Frostbolts with Svalinn

Just wishing Andy and the guys who helped me step by step with this build a Happy Thanksgiving!

Here's my latest version of the build -- and probably final, unless the Lazy Nova senpais in this thread can spot room for significant improvement (can't think of any)

For crit modded maps, I just swap chest armor with 50% crit damage reduction to hit 100%


Happy Thanksgiving to you and any one else in thread who celebrates it!

Your build is [chef's kiss!]. Congrats!

The only obvious easy improvement I see is your Punishment skill. Get a 21/20 to replace the 21/0. The 20% quality adds a lovely little layer of defense to the build.




Fixed. Thanks for spotting that, Andy.

The extra 20% quality gave me an extra second of the Debilitated debuff or was there another defense-related effect that I didn't notice?

With nothing to farm/grind for, I guess this means I'm officially stuck in the POE 2 waiting room lol


it is the extra second but that extra second gives you 50% more up time.
Hey! Swapped over today from Ziz's endgame GG version. Damage feels better, as well as the defences. Overall a good upgrade. However, the biggest thing paining me after swapping is the loss of ~80% cast speed between losing my wand, a rare ring, and from the tree. Any suggestions on how to get some of this speed back? I think that's really the one thing that doesn't quite feel great anymore. Already planning on saving for the Haunted Enchant along with a new wand, which should get me back around 30-40% of that cast speed. Also got getting caster and charge mastery on the next 2 levels.

Here's my POB.

Sure, the lab can be hard, but it's pretty easy if you're properly geared, and not terrible at the game.

Hi, I had that exact same feeling when I swapped from the Ziz version. I was able to solve the "need for speed" issue by going Ralakesh-Badge setup.

My POB for reference: https://pobb.in/SBXXjZ-XW860

For each frenzy charge, you get permanent 4% cast speed (36% total). If you want more speed, you can craft gloves similar to mine and of course, you should get the Haunted wand enchant -- but only after you upgrade to a 200+ div wand. When focused, you'll have all the cast speed you'd want and can delete the t17 Fortress boss before the focus buff wears off.
Awesome thank you! This gives me a good target goal post as well to shoot for. Looks like a really well optimized build!

You're welcome. If you have any questions about my POB or the badge-ralakesh variant in general, just post them here.

I dropped this Watchers eyes, would it be possible to build around having Purity of Elements, Zealotry and Haste?

Still new, so I am uncertain if having reservations brick us?

Thanks.
Archmage and mana reservation hard nonbos. Some archmage builds use ivory tower and life reservations (either arrogancing a 50% aura and clarity or using prism guardian) to get extra auras but its oftentimes a pretty serious defensive downgrade due to losing out on 50% MoM and are usually very different in set up from this one, to the point of largely being a separate build.

Hello. In this build we are allowed to use only one aura (see the gem called Eternal Blessing for the reason why).

As such, you want to look for Watchers Eye that have the same aura on as many of the three affixes as you can find/afford.

There are different variations of this build but the majority use one of Zealotry, Wrath or Purity of Elements.

Amusing how much more expensive this is super late in the league. I keep thinking I'm almost done, and then I price check the next Atlas gem :)

Thought I'd yolo one last PoE league 2 weeks before PoE2 drops. Was playing Ziz's version and it plows T16, but folds with any juice. Hoping this can let me get a little belligerent for old-time's sake.

EDIT: put it all together- super nice upgrade. Not sure if I have time to push into the cluster jewel setup with PoE2 on the horizon, but easily my favorite build I've tried with regards to "do-it-all". Thanks for sharing.

Biggest single castspeed upgrade for you will be Tormented wand enchant (35%).

Also, you can drop the leech on your helm for a power charge, you will hit leech cap off the doryani passive on your cluster jewel.
