[3.25] The Lazy Nova - Archmage MoM Crit Ice Nova of Frostbolts with Svalinn
" are you adding the custom mod on pob when you are trying those wands? " |
|
" honestly... i can't 😅 on pob it seems the same, but ingame is better. probably is the bigger pool/more regen/more mana gained when the mastery procs |
|
" Yes I am. Seems strange that the DPS bump is so small. | |
" ups: can`t believe I forgot... https://pobb.in/gz-wHlSptQ7R | |
" I compared your PoB with mine: https://pobb.in/qml-EycKgK8X Tbh I can't explain the mana issues either, but maybe I don't experience them because I haven't tried simulacrums. I have higher mana cost per second (780 vs 700) and a slightly smaller mana pool, since I don't take the mana mastery node. But while playing, I basically never run out of mana, unless I take a speed shrine. I don't need to pay any attention to mana at all, not even during the abomination boss fight. In hideout, I can spam ice nova for 13 seconds before I run out of mana. Of course mana is not 100% full while spamming like in the Ziz version, but as long as it's not empty and refilling pretty quick it's not a problem (unlike with corrupted soul where mana is used as shield). Maybe vaal ice nova of frostbolt is the issue somehow? Does it provide any benefits over normal ice nova of frostbolt? Last edited by aimfeld on Sep 9, 2024, 12:47:14 PM

" I added the following to your POB and removed your current weapon enchant and made no other changes. #Weapon Enchantment Mods 35% Increased Movement Speed 35% Increased Cast Speed 35% Increased Damage This increased your full DPS from 77.6m to 88.9m and added 35% movement speed which is going to feel great. I think this is an amazing upgrade for the enchant alone. If you improve the wand at the same time you will get even more DPS increase. |

" Spamming in hideout is not a useful test due to automation being disabled while in hideout. It is not Ice Nova that causes mana problems by itself per say. It is the combo of spamming ice nova while Arcane Cloak eats 65% of your mana. I believe this is why some people have removed Arcane Cloak from their builds. Corrupted Soul does not use mana as a shield. It is Mind over Matter that uses mana as a shield. Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge on Sep 9, 2024, 1:05:32 PM

" hello! I took a look at your config as requested. The only item I would change is to lower the Inspiration charges to either a 2 or a 3. We can not maintain max inspiration charges due to how our build works so you will always see the charges count from 1 to 2 to to 3 to 4 and reset back to 0 and start over. |

" Yea I think I'm realizing that for my budget enchanting my current wand is the way to go. Trying to find an already enchanted wand better than mine seems to be out of my price range. | |
" I am absolutely addicted to Vaal Ice Nova. :) Note that Vaal Ice Nova does not take any mana to cast, it works on Souls acquired by killing monsters. When you are in extremely dense T16 8 mod maps, the Vaal can completely clear two screens and sometimes even into a 3rd screen. The chain reaction of Vaal is just insane. Note that this strong clear also comes with being very taxing on your computer so beware. I cast it probably 5-7 times a map, usually when coming up on a shrine since that is very dense and usually connects to a pack in another screen. The rest of the time I just use the regular Ice Nova (note that both Vaal and Regular come in the same gem so you can always socket it and test it, you won't lose anything if you don't like it, you can just use the regular version with no downside to having the Vaal portion also available) The Vaal skill will feel useless if your map is not dense because its power is in the chain effect. I also find the Vaal skill less useful in T17's. It is not powerful enough to fully clear screens and leaves the beefier T17 monsters (depending on map mods) only injured but not killed. As such I rarely cast it in T17's. But I enjoy 8 modded T16's better any way so I spend more time there. Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge on Sep 9, 2024, 1:28:53 PM
