[3.10] Voidzero's Storm Brand MoM Hiero Archmage | League Starter | 10k eHP | 5M dps | 8k mana
|
OK, I almost wrote my own build guide, but it is probably better and easier to just put a decently sized post in this guide since it's pretty damn close to what is going on here anyway.
Indigon + Archmage is broke as all hell and I don't think anybody realizes it yet. The problem is basically that exponential mana cost + exponential mana cost = quickly unusable spells. But I have the cure! Hierophant has Sanctuary of Thought which makes skills cost 50% LESS mana, which takes your 6l spell down from 600+ mana to ~300. And then just... start pulling gems out... Archmage + Indigon interacts so strongly together, it's like having 2 or 3 gem links by itself. For your consideration, my gear: And my PoB: https://pastebin.com/t2YMFj3v Defense-wise, I am currently sporting ~11k EHP + blind on everything near me with massive mana regen and the Indigon Life effect when using mana potions. Storm Brand has a base cost of 294 mana, Blade Vortex has a base cost of 290, Firestorm has a base cost of 290. Brand Recall refreshes Storm Brands duration near-infinitely. Blade Vortex and Firestorm are both supported by Unleash, so I get 4x spell casts when I click the button. I don't know how much damage I do, but I'm killing 81+ Baran before he puts his first set of runes down, Drox before he summons his first set of flags, and I crushed A5 Sirus last night quite easily. Sure, my Storm Brand doesn't hit as hard as the standard build here, but I am running 3 primary damage dealing spells, and together they are doing 2-3x as much damage. This is the true Archmage build. And it's not even really optimized yet. Last edited by JermStudDog#5455 on Mar 24, 2020, 11:47:11 AM

Maybe someone asked previously, but how can this build generate endurance charges for Conviction of Power ascendancy?
|
|
" Conviction of power has 15% chance to generate Power Charge, and also 25% chance to generate a endurance charge when you gain a power charge.... So.... |
|
" Ye, sorry my mistake. I believed 15% chance only for totem kill... |
|
" cold snap on cwdt will reliably give you frenzy charges, i'm always at 3 while mapping. regarding item trades: i don't check the forum often so don't send me PMs about the items i have for sale, just add me ingame and contact me when i'm online.
i'm usually online for a few hours after 20.00 UTC and a lot more during weekends. |

I think I've lost my mind.
Why is my Arcane Cloak during a map costing 0 mana at some times? There must be something that's doing this and I'm sooo confused :) |

" Oh yeah, I always forget that Cold Snap gives you frenzy if the mob die** in the area. Last edited by silverlotoss#3914 on Mar 24, 2020, 2:15:33 PM

" Arcane Cloak mana cost is based on current available mana so if you have 0 mana because you used it on summoning brand the cost will be 0 or near 0. I switched Summon Lightning Golem with Brand Recall. I hate resummoning golems because they die very often and I find myslef very often without golem at all especially on boss fights when Im to busy avoid mechanics than summoning this dude so he can die 2 seconds later. Its also nice to have more control where you move your brands. Last edited by Asag#1815 on Mar 24, 2020, 2:34:11 PM

" That sounds like a lot of different buttons to have to constantly be mashing... |
