Ah shit, I forgot about maximum inspiration threshold, I guess we have to use crit damage gem instead 😂

All good , just more dmg inc 😂😂

so we use inspiration on arc only or we dont use inspiration and use increased critical damage on cracking lance and arc?@@PhoenixLive_YT

We don't use Inspiration at all, use crit damage.

Fix it im Pob for ppl who are New to Poe.

lovely build my friend, i am huge fan of archmage and the debuff 4 season ago hitted me hard, glad so see it going back to its old glory ♥

How do i find the specific Timelss Jewel? I cant find anything that gives dmg epr power charge

@@rul8734 i've been baited by him last league for this build, its trash, without huge investment u just insta die past tier 10 maps, with investment you just insta die past tier 11 maps, but u can kill bosses fast

@@MEMUNDOLOL I'm using a much more defensive focused mana based hierophant with like 6k+ mana 3k ES 3k HP , capped all res + a lot of armor and you still need A TON of investment not to instantly explode past T12 maps. So naturally, this build with 0 defenses is hot garbage.

That shouldn't happen if you have 7k+ mana and stick to the same playstyle as the one shown in the video.

I got baited so hard with this build. Glass cannon is so true. I had to sacrifice a lot of the DPS but I've managed to up EHP to 60kish, 81% fire res, 40% block, 12% spell suppression. The damage is good enough for what I need anyway, and the deaths were just bothering me so much. I was able to improve survivability by: - I dropped RF because I did not like how it behaved, so I also removed The Agnostic - Dawnbreaker Shield - Phys/Cold/Light taken as Fire - Ruby Flask - +Max Fire Res & Spell Dmg leech as ES - Granite Flask - Increased Armor - Skill Tree - swapping dual-wielding to leech + 10% instant leech - Ring - Replace 1 of the rings with amethyst + chaos - Aura - I swap between Wrath & Determination depending on what I need at the situation, linked both of them to eternal bless I've been able to Delve comfortably with these too. Still at depth 200, but going deeper - it just takes a while.

The video exists to show people what the build can farm, I already showcased Uber content and invitations using the items in PoB, if your version struggles then you only need to compare my items with yours and fix the difference.

it's a bait build, 20k ehp is suicide in any content, let alone t17's.

Kill everything or get killed. It's a softcore glass cannon. I think I will search for another POB that feels a bit better

Definitely. And i removed agnostik for more es plus take Sanctuary of Thought and swap to three dragons for freezing stuff(just be sure, that you have source of fire damage to spells to inflict shock). Feels pretty fine to me. Now thinking about Immutable force, stuns annoying...

@@rystraum Yeah, I ended up changing a lot of the things you did as well. This build is just a theorycrafted build that has a bajillion damage but doesn't function well in the game. Agnostic was a bait. I went ES/low hp instead and it worked much better, had a lot of ES. Went Ivory tower for body armor. Switched one wand to the unique mana reserve shield. That let me run Wrath + Grace + Zealotry + Clarity. Had max armor+ max evasion +10k+ ES. Worked out well. All those changes I could run t15 ezpz and t16 was doable but bosses were rough.

Yes you can run without the mana recovery belt mod but forget about using Righteous Fire.

I see. But it'll be easier to get a lot of extra damage on gear when MB takes care of deffence and speed. So it's possible that RF won't even be necessary. Thx for the reply!

Righteous fire is not a mandatory gem in this build, you only use it once you have enough mana regen to beat it's degen.

Already made a separate starter guide for this build, check the video uploaded right before this one.

Glad you enjoy it!

where in the hell this build is 3div budget?? rings are 2div without craft onli damage per power charche, olso void battery are 1 div each... am I missing something???

@@MF_MetalFace thats not even mandatory at all, rn ive spent i think 10 divines and im blasting through maps being able to kill guardians/conqueres in less than 2s. however i've changed my skilltree a bit as im not running RF so ive kept my energy shield and i have 4.3k es and 3k life

@@BulaRotMG can you share your POB? struggling with survivability, any tips?

@@panboox7800 ad

Exactly the same situation, was bored of my BAMA build and didnt want to upgrade it, but this looks so damn fun and promising.

Mana. Mana regen. Which is why its not very tanky in 16+ map, Take the atlas node that makes enemy deal less dmg if you have enough to clear maps.

​ @KyleSeraphim i'm having some trouble with stun in this build, because of low amount of life, now i'm trying to fix this , every time a range enemy shot and stun x_x

@@shadowlest 1) The Brine king Major pantheon Will grant you stun immunity if you have been stun in the past 2 seconds. 2) Try not to blink in mobs (doh. But I know its easier to said than done) 3) Carry Rumi and use it as a panic flask 4) use meat shield support with lightning golem and get a jewel with minion taunt.

​ @KyleSeraphim yeah i already using Brine King, the Rumi flask you say is for stun calculation? Because the amount of block chance and armor for this build is nothing xD. The damage is pretty decent now, its almost 22M , but the survivebility is sucks, i'm stuck at level 91 because of this stun, in some boss i just cant hit him because he is "perm stuning" - stun+MOM = perm stun or die - , i think this is because we have just 3k of life x_x, some guys is running at 2k @_@

@@shadowlest Rumi is to prevent you from getting killed in 2 seconds, and with the 2 second frame if the boss stunned you you can blink away. The playstyle of mana stacker is a bit different. You need to arc the position you want to move to, then blink, then arc, then blink. If Bossing is giving you the most of the issue then again i'd look into beefing up your golem with taunt% on the abyssal jewel... Until you have 100M+ DPS like in this video then you can just delete the boss hah

That moment when PoB is publicly available with all configurations shown yet people still call "bait build" instead of checking :)

Buy the gloves with a fractured resistance and spam life essences on it until you hit life + mana, then lock the prefixes and use a vielded orb to get a vielded suffix then craft whatever you want as your last suffix.

I haven't tested them because I use CL for bosses anyway and regular Arc damage is already overkill.

i use arc of oscilating with the build i do more dps instead of arc

I ran arc of oscilating for 1.5 leagues and regular arc is just better for mapping. There is a potential edge case maybe for a boss somewhere that benefits from arc oso vs arc, but might as well just run arc for 99% of the content and CL for the bosses.

Soul of the Brine King is more than enough for stun management.

@rystraum nah ,I think the build is cool , for survivability and qol I just bought a mageblood 😉 . The build is so zoomy, map bosses are inexistent, other bosses melt in seconds . Sure you can die sometimes to random stuff like exploding strongboxes or a pack of rare porcupines 🤣,but the speed the damage is absolutely worth it ,and also I'm making tons of currency by farming legions ,I mean I destroy whole legions with 1 vaal arc 😜

Bottled fait is useless while mapping because we keep moving, I don't bother pressing it hence I have a sulphar flask to retain the 40% increased damage bonus while mapping.

Yes follow the new version, the changes are pure upgrades.

Amulet reduces requirements

No Shock is decided based on the lightning damage of the hit in relation to the target hit points, we deal too much damage that we automatically inflict maximum shock with 0 investment in shock effect.

I already went over all the steps in the video, let me know if you didn't understand a certain step.

@@PhoenixLive_YT im very new to the game and i dont understand what any of the steps are :/ love the build though have troubles with surviving :(

you need high mana and mana regen pool - until then its squishy, yes, and the biggest defense is its offense then

@@_skiel Every single affix of his endgame setup is damage related. There is only one defence of this build and it is 6 portals.

@@Rafalga84 mana and mana regen are offensive, yes but also defensive.

The build is squishy if you treat it as a tank, our defenses only exists to protect us from accidental one shots, the build already offers LOTS of damage for low price, you can't have everything.

They do stack in terms of damage.

If you have an idea of how Ball lightning archmage is played atm could you tell me if this build have to be played more defensively or less please :)

People tend to assume that every build they see on YT is Hardcore viable, this is a Softcore trade league build that is not designed to "not die", instead it's designed to offer the best ratio of damage/currency spent.

@@PhoenixLive_YT I obviously don't expect to be unkillable at all but i'm hopping to be able to tank few hits from pinnacle boss (not uber). Just wanted to know if it was not a complete glass canon build that i could use as a fast mapping/bossing character. Anyway the build looks amazing i'm asking this question because i want to try it, but i want to make sure it can fit to my playstyle ant not waste time/currency on it that's all.

Compare my ring and belt to yours and you should get your answer.

Prices depends on the market however this build only needs 40 Divines to reach that damage.

i se 28k max hit pool it seems like anything can kill u not sure this guy plays a lot of poe seems like a bait build for new players who thinks dps is all we need

@@PhoenixLive_YT That seems like a strech lol.. Awakened Spell echo alone is 41 div. ALONE. :D

@@Hayqt The Adorned with maxroll is mirror :D

@@Hayqt it reaches about 190m with normal spell echo

Yea, there are many good leveling items for this build, just check the full leveling guide uploaded right before this video.

Switch to Templar ofc, it's waaay better.

Why would you want worse clear? :D

That's what I did :) Kalandras touch was expensive when I uploaded this video, it made more sense to craft the same ring twice.

I did put passive points in it as shown in the video.

Bad idea, never try unique item dependant builds in ssf

@@PhoenixLive_YT alright! ty for confirming!

I never made this build to be tanky, I was trying to maximize damage with Archmage, our defenses are there to protect you from accidental one shots, you can't take constant beating.

Chaos damage is rare and not an issue in Softcore trade league, however if you really hate having - 60 chaos res then craft your rings with chaos resistance instead by replacing the "reforge caster" step with "reforge chaos"

@@PhoenixLive_YT thanks dude ill try it out

did so as well - i m @ -2% chaos res and feel much safer now

Check the Agnostic Keystone.

It's mentioned in the video that this build switches between both skills depending if you want more damage or better clearing.

Awakened Gems have no effect on survivability.

1- I crafted the belt with prestige fossoils. 2- mana recover is obviously important because this is a mana Stacking build.

Because the mana node is better.

Check the video right before this one :)

hi, I will explain to you using the example of simple crafting with a Fraktur mod for casting speed: 1) use essense of scorn to get crit multi + mana regeneration rate (tier 1-2) Now u have 3 suffixes 2) suffix cant be changed, use orb of scouring to clear all pref 3) suffix can't be changed again, use veiled orb trying to catch "to maximum Mana, Regenerate 5.3 Mana per second" repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get the desired attribute 4) last step craft from bench hp+mana per second

Check our amulet.

Suffix needs to have 1 empty spot. Crit essence/mana regen take the other two spots. The only mod reforge caster can roll on rings is cast speed. So if suffixs are full u can't add cast speed with reforge. Pretty sure that's how it works

@@KootSkoot thx a lot, new to crafting world haha

I did mention in the video that you need an empty sufix tho.

Check pantheons in the video, already fixed this.

You are not supposed to be overwhelmed, this is a spell caster build, play safe LIKE in the video.

Yep check the separate league starter guide for this build.

My pleasure!

Yep more mana regen, do you have the important belt mod I mentioned?

I think it's the same tree as his arc league starter with a few points changed at endgame. I'm using the arc starter pob to eventually swap to this. hope this helped

Yes 2 Void batteries If I don't mention something this means that it's irrelevant.

It's useless for mana builds.

Check my ring and belt and you will get your answer.

We are not using any unique cluster jewel....

@@PhoenixLive_YT sorry I mean all the unique equipment and the two clusters jewel

We do use Wrath.

@@PhoenixLive_YT But isn't goal to achieve max unreserved mana possible ? Can you explain me why use wrath when it reserves half mana ? Just for pen from watchers eye ? : )

@@PhoenixLive_YT I forget about blessing supp .... Lol, now I get it 😂

Either get +100% or forget about it.

no, you dont "need" it to have fun with the build already. just be aware that the biggest defense is its damage and you might die more often

Yea check my last video

Its played on hierophant which has 4 minimum power charges anyways, and void battery gives 25% increased spell dmg per power charge, which is 100%. Downside of void battery is completely negated at all times with this ascendancy. Most of power charge user spell based builds would use it anyways just cause its scaling is huge

Correction We have 10 total power charges not 4, that's a total of 250% increased spell damage per wand for a total of 210% after adding the implicit and the reduction.

This build doesn't really benefit from expensive items since all we really need is mana, I don't recommend getting Mageblood unless you are planning to go full defensive flasks.

We are already a lot tanker than builds that deals similar damage at higher investment, you can't have both massive damage and high tankiness with common unique items.

because of the righteous fire, you are probably too weak to use it yet

It doesn't matter much since we are switching to CL for bosses and regular Arc damage is already overkill.

@@PhoenixLive_YT Thanks, something I noticed was the Cloak of Defiance has a fairly high Dex requirement of 76. The PoB only has 69 (it's not throwing up an error for some reason), what's the best source of this Dex? In hindsight I presume it's just a good dex roll on boots, possibly on gloves or rings too if desperate... I've not ran Archmage before so another question is, prior to being able to kill whatever it is before it's a problem, what's the best method to deal with stun locking areas? It seems like it's a bit an issue. for example, I'm levelling with it right now and Kaom's arena is very hard to survive in as 2/3 of it is being hit by lava balls. I'm sure it's not the only area like this and I'm pretty sure that repeats in a map too. Sorry to keep bugging you!

@@NDFJB dex best on boots

Mana + life Although the main reason is that you can easily get the helm with +1 max power charge corruption, it's a common boss drop.

@@PhoenixLive_YT so I could also get a rare helmet with mana and life and a power charge and maybe some chaos res?

Good to know, I forgot that jewel exists lol

​@@PhoenixLive_YT thanks for answer, i'm running this build and can do maps up to T16 buuut i have problem to kill bosses like the Eradicator. I spend like 8-9 div for gear, some i craft myself, some things i don't have like militant faith timeless jewel (had one for 1 div but it changed arcane will to wrong one so i sold it) and im missing the Adorned, and +1 power charge on helmet and awakened spell echo (btw. i run archmage instead inspiration)

Well, I was gonna try archmage hiero anyway, started the build and now struggling through levelling on t13-t14 maps. I hope there is some alternative version of tankier hiero mana archmage build if this will be a bait build :P

I am already doing Full juice T16 deli maps in the video with 100% increased map modifiers intensity, I took big hits and survived, the gimmick of this build isn't being immortal, it's dealing massive damage for cheap, you just need to know how to play it carefully.

@@PhoenixLive_YT Are you doing that with the PoB you linked? Because with this, I am struggling to understand how you are able avoid constant one-shots. You have no defensive layers. No Determination or Grace, no Evasion or Armour (6% chance to evade, 31% PDR), no Spell Suppression, no defensive historic jewel setup, no block, no Chaos Res, no Crit reduction. In you PoB, effective Hit Pool is 20k with Arcane Cloak, and 15k without, Phys Max Hit 8k, Chaos Max Hit 5k. I understand that glass cannon builds are a legitimate way to play, but you should mention in the video that this build is very (imo extremely) squishy.
