I would get Revelry Annoint on Amulet for +25 flat mana and 15% incr. Mana and i would consider max rolled (few points of mana regen) Atziri's Foible best in slot with Fertile Catalysts on it. I don't have your big brain tho. That is the first thing i saw and was thinking maybe that will improve the builds mana pool a little more.

Thanks Big Ducks for this build... i thought I was done leveling up toons this league and then I saw this video... lol. Very cool build and absolutely steamrolls over everything I've put in front of it so far (granted I'm only level 70 at this point). Been looking for an explode chest with the 10% damage taken from mana mod but they're hard to find at this point in the league... been using Cloak of Defiance in the meantime. Look forward to more of your builds!!!

Went for necro archmage cremation this league, 40/40 achieved, i m trying this now. Just got to act 6, spellslinger style, obviously loving it. Might leaguestart as this if necro get s a butthurt load of nerfs. Or just for fun. :B looks solid. Last, it seems fun to play. Also ascendant, my least played char. So ye. Thanks a bunch.

"yeah, there were some bosses there, they just kinda died, they fell over.." Big Ducks with a Thanos smile XD I just want to say thank you very much Big Ducks, been playing this game for barely 3 weeks or so, tried your Vortex Blade build first, got some issues on how to make it efficiently work (didn't quite work for me at the time with the casting time of the blades.., was my first build, still trying to figure out things), then I tried your Contagion build for delves, that one was a joke, leveled it up so fast, but got stuck at some point (gearing/gemmin I guess) so I ended up to this third build, ArchWreckage and I must admit, the start was slow and painful af imo :P but the wait was well worth it, well it's just another play style, but works great. Trying the next level today with now a cheap a** staff build and other crappy gears BUTT got mah Foreboding flask, so let's see how that goes. Wish you a good safe and healthy 2021 year to you and everyone else ! Really, great videos, thanks and keep it up ! PS : ok, Blade Vortex Build FTW D OP AF as Advertised IF, of course, one follows the clear instructions carefully. Thanks again!

Hi, just two little questions : - Do you think Glancing Blow would be good for this build (with Thread of Hope if needed) ? - Do you think a divine mana flask would still cap your mana and benefits from a lower delay ? Also for league start, I think supreme ego might be very worth taking while leveling before getting an Essence Worm

This mana flask interaction reminds me of how the "Enduring" mana flask worked a few patches ago. Since you brought this "queue" interaction to light, it could be nerfed. Nice build though.

I think you're *under* estimating how much the "damage taken as mana before life" mods are boosting your life pool. Mind over matter doesn't give you 30% more hp but rather 1/(1-0.3) = 42% more hp. Not sure how the other mods stack with this, but if they just add up to 50% then that's really 1/(1-0.5) =2 times as much hp, not 50% more. In that case your seemingly squishy 4.4k hp character is boasting something close to 9k, which is pretty ridiculous. This is of course assuming your mana pool never runs out. The way to think about this is that if you were to have 100% damage taken as mana before life, with an infinite mana pool, that wouldn't be 100% more life but rather 1/(1-1) = infinite life, which is why GGG has to be pretty careful introducing new sources of this mod to the game...

@tektrixter 3 жыл бұрын

1/(1-1) = 1/0 = undefined. The limit of 1/x as x approaches 0 *is* infinity from the positive side, but negative infinity from the negative side, therefore it's undefined. Isn't math fun?

@BigDucks 3 жыл бұрын

The way that I understood it is that when you take any amount of damage the % of MoM is diverted from your health and taken as mana. So if you take 7000 damage you would be taking 4900 to your life total and 2100 to your mana, meaning that for a single hit which is all that ultimately matters in this game, it improves your maximum "potential" healthpool for one hit to that number. I may be wrong of course but looking at what the Wiki says I think that is how it works.
