(3.16) NERFED DO NOT PLAY THIS Raider Archmage BF/BB [CHEAP, Tanky, HCSSF viable, (100m+ dps)

POB Link is not working for me, any other experience this?

I'm constatly out of mana ( 4,6k archmage ), my gear is still trash but still... Any idea on what to improve asap?

So I was messing around in the pob, trying to see where I stand in terms of dps. I can't tell if I'm missing something, but If I have supreme ego allocated, I gain more dps if I disable my wrath in the skills tab. And If I have wrath on, un-allocating supreme ego also increases my dps. Wrath is the only aura I run, so I can't wrap my head around what is happening.

Edit: I found the issue was that my essence worm's no "mana reserved" text was showing red, and changing it fixed the issue. No idea why that's a problem....

Hey how does the generals cry vigilant strike work. We dont get the enough strength on the tree to get the 8 sec fortify on your pob

Great build! While I have yet to break into yellow maps with it (T6s don't want to drop for me), the build has been blasting through all ultimatum tiers in rare whites. Mana regen is a bit of a problem, but I found that pausing a bit after each use will "help the sustain". I'm not entirely sure if that's how I'm supposed to be playing this build, but it works.

Here's my gear:


Most of this stuff I picked up while still in acts, the only things I actually bought were the two sceptres (5-10c), tabula, and essence worm. It's extremely cheap to get off the ground.

I haven't gotten around to setting up a vigilant strike set-up yet simply because I don't have the jewel.

How is everyone assigning skills to their keys? I keep running out of available keys. :( Are you assigning something to LMB?

Yes, arcane cloak should be on LMB.

So which gems do i use if i am leveling with tabula? And are there any uniques that help with leveling? My first build wasn't that good so im thinking about making a new character and following this build.

How does the Fortify work with General Cry/Desecrate/Vigilant?
Do i just cast Desecrate + General Cry then gain Fortify for the amount of seconds on Vigiant gem?

IMO just use Vigilant Strike with whatever combination of Fortify (increases the duration of the fortify you get), Ancestral Call (effectively gives you longer ranger), Faster Attacks (makes it not pin you down for so long) depending on what colour links you have available. The General's Cry setup is somewhat clunky and not required.

Still no idea how the OP has the saintlike patience to keep directly replying to questions that are very clearly answered in the first post or by the notes section in the pob...

Hi i was just wondering is there a reason why raider is chosen over pathfinder?

Just hit 72 in ssf, mostly farming BA, got 3 humilities. I must be doing something wrong but the 4l LT feels really bad going into maps even with the swap for bosses and im losing motivation fast trying to farm for a 5l to make a switch.
