Subtractem is giving up on his ball lightning build but regular ball lightning destroys the acts. I did a league start test with his version of the build and it was strong. I've already done the work so I may do something like this instead of scrapping it all together.
2:43 "We don't even know what the Quality does". It is written right there. Hidden in plain sight. Quality now increases Spelldamage by 0.5% per Point of Quality instead of raisin Mana Cost by 0.5% per Point of Quality. 12:20 Manabond can't be supported by Archmage, because it can't support Arcane Skills, which Manabond is one of the few Arcane Skills we have in the Game.
Pal, you evil genius. I haven't used Pinpoint since I played a Blazing Salvo Inq bosser back in the day. Absolutely fixed everything that annoyed me about Ball Lightning for leveling and early maps. Now I can make my way up to my usual Mana Stacker Hiero in comfort. Lol. Thank you!
I played manastacker with pledge of hands and replica kaom's heart two leagues ago, used BL, and it was amazing. I'll try it again this league I think, this video got me really excited to do that.
I did Mana stacker Vaal Arc of Osculating last season and it was a great league start. Hit 92 and t16 maps no problem. These changes absolutely make gearing into red maps significantly easier and this build sounds very solid as always! Nice job Pal ❤️
Hi, Could you explain why you take the elemental mastery that inverts enemy resist while also using conductivity? Wouldn't conductivity lower their res into negative then the mastery put them back into positive ? (that's what PoB seems to think)
Any changes with PoB so far? Could you please tune up the PoB till the end game? Don't get how is it possible to wear Mjölner with such a low strength stat and what is the best setup for dual Mjölners? Or maybe there's some better gear for this build other than Mjölner? i'm asking because u had mentioned Mjölner in your video. Do you plan to use cluster jewels in endgame or is it just a waste of currency for this particular build? It's sad to admit, but i'm not good with PoB by myself, that's why asking for advices. Thx in advance!
I already know I love the leveling on this skill cus I've tried that one when I did a test run for subtractem's plan :p Now his build got deleted from existance but this one might just save the day and still let me league start ball lightning manastacker anyway, won't be with the orb attatched but quite honestly I kinda liked shooting balls better anyway :p
Hi! Did u got a expensive PoB? With clusters etc ? I really wanna play this build but have no clue how clusters works,unnutural Instinct ...what to remove...
It’s a very complex build. If you’re that new I would avoid it like the plague. It will just frustrate you. I would say if the video wasn’t enough you might want to wait and make it your second character of the league.
Definitely interested in this as well. The transfigured version of power siphon already scales with mana and the new wisp support will definitely help with single target.
With the AoE granted by Hiro I'll try out lightning tendrils with Marylene's Fallacy, since lightning tendrils stongest puls is always a crit. Tried the build in the past as inquisitor, worked more then fine but AoE was an issue.
i am thinking about using Algor Mortis for massive saps and big damage bonus since we have masssive inc AOE if we use frostblink the ground created will be huge which will make it very easy to proc its effect
I know a lot of players would rather avoid gem swapping but it's relevant to mention that Ball Lightning of Orbiting can be swapped in for mapping which completely fixes clear speed altogether once you have attained enough damage. The transfigured gem does significantly less damage but with enough damage you can zoom through maps and it will feel very good.
I loved my arc archmage ignite elementalist back in the day. Might try to leaguestart with this. Probably not going to push it into indigon/mjollnir but you never know. Also big fan of getting ES on the build, my previous one was running agnostic and it felt super nice, but it still felt weird with having just 4k life in red maps. Very prone to 1shots with low life pool. With ES I could probably have twice that, while still getting MoM and decent recovery with leech.
Aight you convince me, this always happened. I plan and practice a build and some random video pop ups and i change my mind, but it looks fun, gonna try it
Would there be an option to also just take any Spell skill, not a lightning archetype since we add alot of flat damage anyway? Or would that be just bad?
Man I didn't give this much thought at first. But then ziz said that him and a bunch are going hc trade. I've made it to a5 kitava in gauntlet 3 times and I was already considering heirophant arc(h)mage using regular until I get oscillating. Considering the amount of flat Archmage now adds I may stick with vanilla for everything, or maybe try lightning conduit of the heavens. But anyways, my point is that I just facetanked all 3 phases of Izaro in under 30 seconds each in hcssf self casting arc on a 3 link with orb of storms and conductivity each on their own. My only defenses are MoM, clarity, vitality, and some random blues and yellows to cap my res and a decent random blue wand I picked up in there that gave me roughly 15-40 flat fire to spells. Definitely my league starter, and will try out oscillating and LCotH too
I want to play this really bad! I was going to league start Subtractem's version, before he declared it kinda dead, but this one seems more than viable, I would love if it, in fact, turns out to be the case.
You can't support manabond with archmage because it's an arcane skill. Imho ball lightning of orbiting is better than regular ball lightning for this build.
I played his last league. Problem is it es very hard to scale defenses for harder content. Simple mapping etc. is no problem and quite easy due to mind over matter but once you really starting to juice you fall over very quickly. Most builds do not have stuff like spell supress, higher max res, armor, eva etc. MOM and Endurance chareges are just not enough. I ended up quitting after putting over 100 divines on my build trying to fix that. It just never felt anywhere close as good as other builds with that investment. Maybe the new changes fix that but im not gonna touch this anymore.
That is still kinda the problem. Especially early on, when you try to get as much mana as possible. EHP and regen / leech + arcane cloak and maybe some block, is your whole defense.
What I'm thinking of doing with the new archmage is to go with an inquisitor with a spellslinger setup since archmage has no mana multiplier With battlemage you get nice scaling with flat and with fansticism you have permanent uptime on 75% reduced cost so you can hit nearly 100% reduced cost for all your triggered stuff
Do u think its a good League starter for people wich never played a manastacker? because i have zero clue about it. I mean, how to upgrade for late game etc. But it looks like, he can do a lot of content later.
Actually now Archmage probably works as it should from the beginning, if it will be overtuned they could just tune down the numbers, but its actually amazing, and not clunky at all..
I've ran archmage storm brand heiro basically every league since Deli when brand recall refreshed the duration. 9/10 times it's my league starter without snapshotting. Never failed to get to my own watchstones done and carry mavens/UE. Can say it's a solid archetype no worries, even if brands got nerfed, its a GG support and mana heiro is always reliable. I quit watching after you said "we don't know what the quality does/who cares," though 😂 it's literally there in patch notes on the screen, man
If only all lightning didn't have such an awful sound. It's my main use case for the idea of being able to turn off different things separately in the audio
Hiero gets a ton of cast speed from arcane surge scaling. You can get very comfortable traversal speed with frostblink of wintry blast + spell echo + faster casting. I did this as a boss rusher last league. @@Palsteron
@@dali1384 Not sure what you mean by that. The triggered version frostblink of wintry blast is nerfed in patch notes, but the self cast version should work the same.

doesn't pair well with MoM and you're already getting a lot of flat damage without the downside of Manastorm... it's probably a good levelling unique for when you're ramping damage, but it looks like its an uber drop now
Pal, tyvm for this, I am expecting for this since it was nerfed. Have no words for my joy and you bring it to me for free, so take tip as my gratitude!
Hello! I really like your Hexblast build and I wanted to start this league with it. Are you planning to update your maxroll Hexblast guide? I saw some changes with Left click Detonate Mines and with mines mastery passives and I have no idea how much its gonna change the whole build. Love your content!
The default Ball Lightning doesn't count as Orb. However the transf gem Ball Lightning of Static is counted as a Orb. This can be seen on the gem tag on the skill.
Archmage Reap & Ball Lightning/Ball Lightning of Orbiting is probebly the bests. No clue what an build with Reap would look like, but Awakaned Spell Cascade with insane AoE with Reap is very nice for Reap. Manabond can't be supported with Archmage
Yeah, and you can actually start leveling with manabond (as you'll get it like lvl 12 or so) and then just gear for mana stacking early (+clarity aura) since it also scales manabond. It works fine like that when you want to transition to archmage after doing the library quest later. Now it should feel even more doable to transition like that.
How SSF viable is that? Technicaly i gonna play priv leaguer with 4-5~ friends but not everyone plays 12h/day so it won't be easy to get stuff for the endgame Indigon version.
Not sure how easy it is to access bosses now with t17s and if Indigon is even on normal Uber Elder still, but the pob I have in the description has no uniques that aren't super common
It's definitely still good, base premise is the same, these days people use ralakesh impatience boots and power charge stack with badge of the brotherhood.
Wow, you can spam archmage now with enough reduced cost?! I wonder what it is like with a channeling skill. Just drop your cost down far enough. I wonder if you can get lighting warp to do with damage without explosions. I wonder if crackling lance could be ok. I always wanted to do archmage galvanic field. You could do storm call with reduced duration now because arcane cloak isn't that important. I wonder if anyone is going to use fanaticism. Tornado + unearth + vd? This is wacky. I should stop.
yeah there's probably a lot of much better ways to do it but assuming the triple rage effects from zerker works it's gonna be hilarious. I kind of wanted to league start a mana-stacker with the archmage change already, but without knowing how rare/expensive the helmet will be I don't know if I'd choose to league start around it. @@IMA93-21

Conner has that well covered.

It will definitely be a far away long con type deal, but once that con is achieved, the world is our oyster
yo, can you do another video saying mana stacking is bad?
Wanna legue start this in softcore trade
Reduced mana cost of skills doesn't seem to work with Archmage, it remains a fixed amount according to PoB.

This is pretty hype!! Nice guide thank you
Not sure it was mentioned - but Mindspiral prevents mana leech so you definitely need to find something else when you start leeching.
you cant leech mana with spells anyway. That is a legacy mod on watchers eyes.
You dont start leeching, unless you're working in a non spell attack somehow

My issue with mana stacker in the past is that while it can have a large eHP pool due to mana stacking + mom , it had very little damage mitigation
That is still kinda the problem. Especially early on, when you try to get as much mana as possible. EHP and regen / leech + arcane cloak and maybe some block, is your whole defense.
As long as most of your recovery is %-based (% regen, leech) it doesn't make any difference
I look fwd to the update on your thoughts and starter BEFORE the league starts Mr. P

Elementalist has less Mana Scaling and Cost Decreasing tools so will be significantly weaker and, importantly, incredibly squishier

@@TheJtorres182 tell what? Its still good, they added mastery for auto detonation while moving, so the left click strat won't hurt mines.
@@Hejti_ Good deal, havent played a few leagues, mines/traps have been my niche. Thanks!
You know what the bigger buff? Ward Loops !!
With some split peronalitys and clusters
This could scale to god levels
this actually might get me to play something other than a bow build
