Thank you very much for your video it helped a lot to build my character. Having fun with this build like any other I have tried. Keep up the good work. Thank you again.
This is my first league and I am absolutely in love with Poe so far. I decided to try this build for my 4th character and this guide is hands down the best build guide I’ve ever used. S tier production for the video mate, liked and a new sub!
Welcome to PoE, and thank you for the kind words! These guides take a while to test and put out so comments like yours really help me stay motivated while I work on the next project. I'm glad you found it helpful and I hope that you're enjoying your first league 🙂
You're welcome, I really wanted an alternative to that bouncing ball of fire haha. Keep an eye out for a leaguestart video for this build - there's some overlapping footage at the start but some new information regarding endgame progression. See you in-game on the 7th 🙂
Great video! Really enjoyed the recap of variants at the end as I am new and don’t know much about the different ways to tailor passives to gear/playstyles. I am trying the Ziz/Raxx/Goratha build right now and so far it’s been a fun journey. Just swapping to Ice Nova from Firestorm w/ all evasion /ES gear + suppression nodes. I may swap out to another defense style once I put on Kitavas. Still trying to figure out comfortable times to switch passives without sacrificing defenses. If you were interested I would love to see a video on how you like to ramp up various defense post campaign / early maps! Looking forward to more of your content regardless, thanks!
Thank you! When and what to swap is definitely something I also struggle with. It's one of those things that is intuitively learned by A LOT of trial and error. I'll try and sit down after the Gauntlet and see if I can convey how I do it for my characters in a way that's helpful to new players. Thanks again, for the kind words and the suggestion. Hope you have fun with the Ice Nova build, it's a good one 🙂
thank you for the chisel method. i asked zizaran he said id get banned for doing it but which i thought was weird since its not a glitch glad to see it works. helps out.
No problem, I don't there's anything to be worried about with this method. The inventory is designed to be reset when you run a Kirac Mission, and it is only profitable because chisels are scarce in 3.25. This could very easily become obsolete next league if they increase the drop rate of chisels 🙂
@@InsPoE its a nice start of league method. im loving the currency exchange to sell my lifeforce without having to do it in bulk and spam i want to buy invites annoying ppl like before lol
@@JohnnyGhost91 I've played for longer this league because of the currency exchange. It keeps items flowing in and out of the economy instead of rotting away in the stash :D
Thanks for the kind words! Don't feel pressured to watch the whole thing in one sitting. I tried to compartmentalize it with timestamps so you can jump around to what you need to know as you're playing the build 🙂
@@hynubb3r I tried LS early into the league. It scales into an endgame beast but the campaign and early mapping felt a bit rough. Maybe I'll revisit it before league's end, but no promises 😅
@@InsPoE Ahh. As of now I'm following Pohx RF bible to learn the game, just want to branch out when I'm a bit richer. But anything you do I'd still support, no worries!
Very good info, I've been following zizaran's build, came to realize for endgame I need to min/max a lot of equipment and for that need a lot of currency, still fun to use and can do t16, I even tried a t17 but couldn't beat the boss. Right now trying to change into Svalinn as that version is cheaper than Zizaran's, I learned some stuff from your video thanks a lot
Glad to hear it! I've heard some really good things about the Svalinn variant of this build. Drop by later and let me know how that feels when you make the swap :)
@@InsPoE Oh, Svallin is good to transition into juiced t16 -t17 but when U start making good money U want to switch back to suppresion - has higher ceiling
@@michalzamojski6837 That makes sense, late game suppression gear seems especially crazy with recombinators this league. I'll have to farm some currency and give it a try!
Thanks haha, might I recommend my updated Leaguestart Guide IF you are trying the new Necro-Settlers event? It's got some new info regarding endgame gearing 🙂 ua-cam.com/video/j4rSdExHw2g/v-deo.html
Thank you! With Atziri's Foible equipped, we get a 25% reduced attribute requirement for gems and equipment. That means we need roughly 144 STR to equip Kaom's Heart. I'm not entirely sure where 130 came from, it could be a minor visual bug on PoB. But with 144 STR and Atziri's Foible you should be okay 🙂
Thanks! Rolling Magma with Combustion and Ele Prolif is an amazing way to level. I wanted to suggest an alternative since new players often struggle with the deadzones between bounces.
My survivability improved a lot when I added Glorious Vanity Timeless Jewel. It has to be sacrificed in the name of so it provides the Corrupted Soul Keystone. I will talk about this in my update video, it's coming soon!

Hey there, I'm working on an endgame follow-up. I decided to go the spell suppression route and it's feeling great so far. I still have more upgrades to make but stay tuned for a new video (soon) 🙂
I don't get it, where's the problem? The socket amount and colors can be crafted if you can't find the items with the correct setup from the trade site.
I know this comment is a month old, but what? If you're talking yellows you need the correct base. I just built this with like 70 chaos and I can do corrupt t16 after like 6hrs after clearing campaign
It's useful for the campaign but you can drop it if you are feeling starved on sockets. For the late game, we only use Clarity if we have a Watcher's Eye to go along with it.
It is, but you can use the Kitava's Thirst unique helmet to make it a 1-button build. I'll have a leaguestart video for the 1-button build up later today!
@@binocular2011 It's a very common unique! I don't think it will be expensive, and you'll most likely find several copies of it once you start mapping 🙂
With the right setup, yes. Stacking mana scales both your damage and defenses to the moon. A Hardcore version would look a bit different though, this early mapping setup is vulnerable to physical damage and damage over time. I'm working on gearing this build for T17s and Ubers. I'll let you know how it goes when I finish!
Hey, there might be some reasons this could be happening. You could have a Life Mastery that makes skills cost 15% life instead of mana. You could be using the Blood Magic Keystone or the Petrified Blood skill gem. Another reason is the Lifetap support gem, which makes your skills use life instead of mana. Check to see if you have any of the above active on your character, hopefully that fixes the problem!
This build has been around since the major changes to Archmage in 3.24. The lucky block interaction with Svalinn might be temporary, but everything else should survive!

Seconded! Very helpful in-depth explanations that are woefully missing from lots of the other guides. Great work! Earned a sub
Nicely done. Good pacing. Good vocals. Beginner friendly and comprehensive.
Earned my sub.
Appreciate the feedback, thank you!
Thank for a way to level that isn't using rolling magma until firestorm! Planning to play this build in the Necro Settlers that in a couple of days.

Love it. Kinda tired so I haven’t watched it all, but this already seems super informative for noobs like me. Hope the channel continues to grow!

Great Guide. Can I ask how you equip Kaom's heart when you have 130 str and it needs 191?
Thank you! With Atziri's Foible equipped, we get a 25% reduced attribute requirement for gems and equipment. That means we need roughly 144 STR to equip Kaom's Heart.

Thx for this. I'm trying the svalin block route. Feels super tanky with acceptable DPS
You're welcome! Svalinn looks buttery smooth in the endgame :)
Good stuff
nice guide.
you can level up till end of act 4 by Rolling Magma. superb leveling skill gem.
Thanks! Rolling Magma with Combustion and Ele Prolif is an amazing way to level. I wanted to suggest an alternative since new players often struggle with the deadzones between bounces.
Do you have an mid and endgear and a uber end gear buildguide for it too? So we know how to upgrade the items? 😊😊
Hey there, I'm working on the gear progression right now! It's going to be a few more days until I have the videos uploaded but they are coming 🙂
@@InsPoE thanks buddy
@@hodorgaming_2056 I got a sneak peak for you - still working on my wands, awakened gems, and jewels!

yes..i follow this build as you..but my hp n sheild not fast as you..something wrong there.

@@InsPoE thank you..your explaination more easy understand than other..
Only downside to this guide is the gear acquisition with correct gem slots, else everything is fine and dandy.
I don't get it, where's the problem? The socket amount and colors can be crafted if you can't find the items with the correct setup from the trade site.
I know this comment is a month old, but what? If you're talking yellows you need the correct base. I just built this with like 70 chaos and I can do corrupt t16 after like 6hrs after clearing campaign
Level 1 clarity is only 2.9 mana per sec is it wortth it?
It's useful for the campaign but you can drop it if you are feeling starved on sockets. For the late game, we only use Clarity if we have a Watcher's Eye to go along with it.
My Ice Nova of FB mana cost is 60. How do you get it to 100+?
Check to see if you are using the Archmage support. If you are and it is still
this is a 2-button build right?
It is, but you can use the Kitava's Thirst unique helmet to make it a 1-button build. I'll have a leaguestart video for the 1-button build up later today!
@@InsPoEoh ok. Hope kotavas isnt that expensive!
@@binocular2011 It's a very common unique! I don't think it will be expensive, and you'll most likely find several copies of it once you start mapping 🙂
