[3.10] LL Storm Brand Hierophant 8k+ ES, 10k Mana, 10M+ DPS per brand

Made the switch! Definitely feels sturdier than Life based. Can someone help me prioritize changes though? I feel like damage is low.

Went through sirus 6 on the non crit version and it was a breeze, looking forward to reoptimizing and trying out the crit version with ivory tower, damage is well over double (edit:triple) so it should be nuts.

two questions though, is wave of conviction default set to lightning exposure since it converts to lightning at a 25% base, or does the lightning damage to spells make it shred lightning?

also, worth the multi mod for +mana and cast a skill when you use a spell?


It pob's for higher than yours on your link, but i honestly seem to always say, "hey that's a good item" and then i show it to someone and they are like yeah nah that's garbage. I think it IS a good item, but i think it comes down to whether or not it's worth the 2ex to multi mod. I've literally got my whole build set up. But i don't have a bottled faith or awakened gems. In the grand scheme of things, 2ex is a drop in the bucket irt their price, but if i can get an item worth next to nothing, since you only really need mana and an open suffix and anything more than that is bonus, which should be dirt cheap, then the 2ex multi mod is just a literal waste.

thanks for the build guide, looking forward to jumping into it when servers come back up

Hi - Nice build! Going to transition into this one.

What are your thoughts on Omeyocan boots? Resists will likely be harder to get and mana regen goes down but we get onslaught and tons of Mana. I have a pair for sale but may look into see how the mana feels once I transition to the build.

Just wanna say good job on the build, looking forward for more build guides from you.

hi all,

really nice build, at least i tried now to get elemental overload going. but iam not sure if shock could be possible. gem setup is still a mess at the moment.

otherwise its the same but without crit notes and more cluster jewels.

Would be happy about some feeback :)

best regards

did i need Skyforth for running discipline zealotry and wrath in the shield? I can only run Warath+ Discipline and doenst have more life to reservate...

You need to have Sanctuary of thought the ascendancy node. if you have it and it still doesn't work make sure you don't have an essence worm equipped.
Skyforth alone is not enough to reserve all of these in combination.

Fyi, you can run these auras with the 4% reduced mana reserved next to Sovereignty.

I feel like conductivity on hit ring is huge dps upgrade, especially for bosses. You can reliably curse enemies even with lvl 5 curse (could get lvl 8). For me way better than CwdT

Is this worth replacing our helmet with? Or am I better selling it? According to poe trade, it's around 4-5 ex.

Ohh boy, chilled for one day and this happened.

hello

nice build and guide

can i make this build works with orb of storms and arc/ball lightning or other
lightning spell?

It's possible, but you'll have mana issues. This build does not handle the mana reg problem that comes with using archmage by default. I have not yet played around with smacking a high level clarity in but it might help. I#d probably suggest looking at another build first, one that uses archmage with arc or ball lightning because they probably have ways to counter the mana cost better than this build.

I honestly don't bother too much with my wand anymore as damage is ridiculous as is. From what you can craft the best multimod would probably be crit chance + trigger spell. You want to have a natural mana roll as those go to 140+ easily.
For wave of convition, as long as you have some added lightning on your gear it will always do lightning exposure and provide you with the extra pen.

The issue with the boots is that you would need to have a way to outregen the 7% mana lost per second which with our mana pool is a massive pain. Even if we were to smack in a lvl 20 clarity we'd only be at 400-500 mana per second. With my mana pool of 9500 that would not outregen the lost mana from the boots. Since we no longer get easy mana leech as casters they are most likely not viable.

Spoiler

It's not very good but it was cheap and I was able to test curse on hit

You are right that such a ring is amazing, but I currently use a lvl 20 conductivity triggered from my wand which theoreticall provides higher dps than such a ring. I don't know what other triggered spell would make sense in the wand instead of it, so I'm not recommending these rings, especially since getting one make balancing resists even more of a pain.

Most likely not, mindspiral provides us with tons of mana, damage gained as mana and extra mana as ES. if that enchant was on a mindspiral you'd look at probably quadrouple the price if not more. As things are I'd probably pass on other helmets unless they at least have very good mana and es to make up for what we lose from replacing mindspiral.

Just a Quick Question, how can Guys like this one https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/lolheretic/hereneckretic?i=0&search=class%3DHierophant%26skill%3DStorm-Brand%26sort%3Ddps

have enough space to activate 4 Auras without having the Sanctuary of Thought Ascendancy?
