[3.25] The Lazy Nova - Archmage MoM Crit Ice Nova of Frostbolts with Svalinn
" ahahahah yes, the difference in dps from pcoc and intensify is insane :D i'm not a super fan of having to rely on disciple alone to generate pCharges while mapping, but in reality while mapping it really doesn't matter... i'll try it :) |
|
" Have you tried +1 intensity mastery on single target? | |
|
i tried a simulacrum with no mark on kitava (punishment, enfeeble) and i went back to intensify instead of pcoc.
i died 1 time to a bonkers wave 13, mobs were tanky af (i didn't read the mods 😅). wave 14 and 15 in comparison were a joke. overall it felt like the best setup. my only gripe is mana sustain. i feel that before i was mana fulled all the time. maybe the +80 mana on kill from ass mark and the regen from militant faith (is switched to an area damage one) were more relevant than i thought. but if i have to be honest i never paid too much attention to my mana pool, so maybe i'm just being paranoid and it was always like this. anywat if it wasn't for the random death it would be for sure 10/10. maybe i'll try another simulacrum after lunch |
|
" if mapping goes well today with the new set up, I am going to test out this mastery. I stand still a lot in areas like Harvest, simulacrum, and Ultimatum so this would benefit me beyond just single target. I need to see which point on the tree I can swap from. |
|
" I updated the PoB with your settings. Forgot about the average Inspiration Charge setting as well as the Reduced Punishment Effect custom modifier, but also added the missing "enemy is Debillitated", even more EHP, thanks! I do have a Silver Flask for Pinacle Bosses and otherwise got a 100% uptime with my Boots 'Gain Onslaught on Kill', but I changed it for easier uptime calc (just missing some movement speed in PoB now, which I don't really need as I Frostblink all the time ^^) I also disabled the Vaal Skill, as this may not be in effect for every situation.  https://pobb.in/L-GRrq0Yrm75 | |
" Right now I don't mind the Mana Regen at all, but this may change when I also go for the PCOC instead of Inspiration change, then I will also have to recraft my Amulet and Ring for % skill cost :') Ailments are no problem at all, I am freeze immune, got 50% chill effect reduction and 60% less burning duration. I did die once from 95 to 100, doing all kind of Content, Bosses, Simulacrum and stuff. Even offered some free bossing services, just to give it a stress test. Of course there are some impossible mods or mod combinations to run, like ele reflect and no reg, but overall it feels utterly broken. INSANE clear speed (also thanks to huge Oriath's End explosions) and Bosses just pop ^^ Last edited by Tenchuu on Aug 26, 2024, 10:00:56 AM

ok I completed my next experiment,
I swapped over to Militant Faith, Intensify instead of pcoc, +1 to Intensify mastery and Mark in the Brand setup. I ran a simulacrum deathless. The reward levels were still roughly the same, high 5's and low 6's. Single target was very good with +1 to Intensify. No mana issues at all. I ran this with only two shield skills, I still need to find something to replace my beloved Frenzy Charges. While this all felt good, I can't honestly say it felt significantly better offensively than my Frenzy charge set up and I gave up a large amount of health pool even though it did not seem to effect me. I am not sure where to go now with out a decent replacement for Cold Snap.... As much as I hate to say it, I don't think I am going to get my answer in T16's any more. I may be forced to run T17's to get some harder material to experiment on. Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge on Aug 26, 2024, 11:05:50 AM

well this is silly but fun....
In place of Cold Snap, I am test driving Tornado of Elemental Turbulence as my 3rd shield skill. In dense content I have 3 fast moving tornadoes hindering and doing small damage to everything around me. Like the build does not have enough issues with visual clarity........lol |

Is spell critical chance suffix necessary on wand? Would it be better if we go for focus double dip or smth else?
| |
|
Has anyone tried something like Temp Chains or Ice Nova of Deep Freeze in the shield? Not so sure how well the Ice Nova will proc freeze and might need something like Elemental Proliferation to support ... which would mean losing frost shield or sigil of power (not sure how i feel about that one).
I'll try out the Tornado of Elemental Turbulence too. |
