    I took down notes for anyone who finds it helpful:
    Support: Ball Lightning (Scattershot, Unleash, Mobiliy, Arcane Tempo)
    *doesn't deal any damage itself
    Lightnight warp (Magnified Effect, Overcharge, Glaciation)
    *Casted on ball lightning and can deal big damage on its own
    CoF: Lightning Conduit, considered casting, energy retention, impetus
    *more triggers, less dmg than pre nerf
    Lightning Conduit (Rising tempest, super critical, concnetrated effect)
    *cast on bosses
    Archmage (Lightning, clarity 10 spirit)
    100 spirit needed
    Sigil of power (ingenuity, second wind)
    mana tempest (pre meditation)
    hypothermia (heightened curse, focused curse)
    Remember this does cold damage instead of lightning damage
    Ascendancy: Strike Twice, biggest damage here
    8 jewel sockets - most damage taken before life (16%)
    Magnitude of shock is strong, cold damage, cast speed
    Optional weapon swap
    first swap increased area of effect
    second is crit damage bonus

    Are you sure Call of the Brotherhood actually works with Archmage? In PoE 2 they changed how conversions and extra damage as works and it's now done "simultaneously", which suggests you might be converting the initial damage from the skill to cold, but the Archmage still adds more lightning afterwards. I'm not saying you're wrong, just have you checked?

      @vilemlepil728 Місяць тому +10

      no, i tried going archmage spark with call of the brotherhood and only the initial damage got converted (can be seen in spark tooltip). So part of my spark was 2000 cold and the remaining 8800 dmg from archmage was still lightning. I was testing this for few T15 maps and yes, some monsters and bosses eventually get frozen, but the opportunity cost is too big imo. Lost a ring slot, had to invest at least 6 passives to freeze buildup to even feel something. Better to focus on pure lightning dmg and shock chance + cast on shock imo.

    Thanks for this. Saved my build. I'm doing something a liiittle bit different than you (rocking MoM/EB/CI) and I was really struggling. Finally made the push for spirit gear and things are a lot better now. I rock inspiration on lightning warp to fix the mana problems. Sitting at 3500mana 680 regen and it's relatively stable. Have blink on my weapon swap for the real oh-shit moments and I'm cruising through tier 12-14s.
    Having a lot of trouble freezing bosses though. Previously I was using three dragons instead of call of the brotherhood and I'm honestly considering swapping back. You get waaaay more freezes on bosses with that setup.

Just use conductivity for your curse and swap out Rising Tempest on the conduit setup for something else that has a "More Damage" multiplier. Like Hourglass, Elemental Focus, or Biting Frost. I was using elemental focus but it's rough not being able to freeze with conduit during boss fights so I haven't really decided what's best there yet.

      Three dragons has the advantage that you can deal only lightning damage. If you go with Call of the Brotherhood the extra lightning damage from Archmage stays as lightning as you can't convert twice/it applied after the conversion. you can check from the skill screen details that you'll be dealing 50/50 cold and lightning even with the ring.

    yo, i was playing a similar but different build and i really liked your take on lightning warp archmage with call of the brotherhood, i just have one question because i noticed this while minmaxing some stuff, but the lightning damage of archmage doesnt get converted by call of the brotherhood so youre actually still doing like 2/3 lightning damage and 1/3 cold damage no? at least thats what it says in the tooltip for me
    been wondering how to minmax res pen and exposure, probably going for frost bomb with lightning exposure and strip away support...
    not sure about the res/lightning stuff, i do wanna dip into some lightning buffs since its still like 2/3 lightning damage with archmage, the more mana you have the more it will shift towards lightning damage over cold damage

      Btw i'm enjoying the build so far and i have frost staff with +4 cold spell :D i just changed skills
      Probably because i dont have +4 or +6 lightning skills i dont have much mana problem even with mom as i use mom + eb combo. I have about 338 mana regen when walking and goes up to like 400 on fight or more and 2k mana. I have soul drain, overcharge and inspiration on my lightning warp so far doing t1 and t2 it pretty fun and with soul drain

  • @lukeversion2
    @lukeversion2 Місяць тому

    @Lexyu I "think" I got the lightning conduit to work. It helps tremendously having the lightning ascendency nodes. However the damage to the boss is not consistent due to the damage range of the spell. Sometimes you can two shot a boss but not always. Plus the immobile long cast time of lightning conduit makes dodging mechanics difficult. Anyway great build thanks so much. Cheers.

    • @Lexyu
      @Lexyu  Місяць тому

      Make sure you have 2 shocks applied from shocked ground. Hit the boss the moment it spawns or dodge attacks until you have an opening. You can also freeze bosses first with Lightning Warp.

  • @TheFitDragon
    @TheFitDragon 24 дні тому

    hey in order to freeze quickly and proc cast on freeze are you investing in - cold res or flat cold damage at all? With Archmage and that much mana you are doing more lightning then cold damage but you still need enough damage to reliably freeze. I am curious in higher tier maps when stuff has more resistances if you find the need to invest more in - enemy res. I am being told you cannot scale the archmage damage, anything that has a extra damage as tag cant be scaled higher and the only thing that can scale it is if you have -enemy res since archmage damage is lightning and it always goes against the enemies resistance check.
