[3.15]Archmage Ball Lightning Hierophant, will it work in Expedition?

Building this character right now.

What can i improve?

I am new to PoB.
Can anyone help me check my Pob? The Dps doesn't seem correct. Idk how to get the correct Dps. My DPS shouldn't be that low.

https://imgur.com/RuROfA3 this is the config you want. Sigil of Power can be set to stage 4 if you want, I leave it off.

Some quick notes from glancing at your tree, if you want;
Unallocate 'Dreamer' and its preceding node, those are DPS losses
Flip where you have your Watcher's Eye and where you have Healthy Mind, you're not maximizing healthy mind rn
Not worth it to get that jewel socket south of Battle Rouse when you have one sitting in your cluster jewel
Allocate Supreme Ego
Unallocate Righteous Decree and its preceding node, it is a DPS loss
Allocate Holy Dominion for resist help so you can get DPS jewels

I tried to took build using poe.ninja, but it didn't work out well. With a lot of investments, my bl archmage gives out, feels like, less damage than my old cheap build fp totems. Sometimes I get one-shots on t16.
I saw the damage of a similar build, but through crit, and it is noticeably higher than mine, at least for bosses.
Can someone tell me if it is worth reworking the build on crit or what should I fix to have more damage and survivability?
I still have 40ex+ and Bottled Faith.

You are focusing too much on jewels and you miss a ton of damage. I invested like 10ex (6L Pledge was like 7.5EX) in the build and I'm demolishing bosses. What you are missing is basically repec to the tree posted by OP and drop pointless jewels (Inspired learning, Kurgal, Pure Talent, Watcher's eye is ok'ish, but instead you can get 20% mana, Healthy mind -> Brutal restraint for DEX).
I would change Skyforth to enhancement "80% stun avoidance when you killed recently" and fill life/mana resist.

Take Supreme Ego, additional curse (for non crit you can just connect to tree instead Anointing) and use it for Snipers mark with Arcanist Brand.

For mapping swap Slower Projectiles to GMP (I'm using SP only for endgame bosses Sirus, Shaper, Elder, UElder etc.)

This build is not so tanky, its decent, but as it deals a ton of damage you can basically skip mechanics.

Only have around 8ex rn, could i swap to this build? If so what should i pick up first? Was thinking of just grabbing 5L POH and Sire of Shards

6L PoH is actually a biggest damage boost. For your bugdet, I still go for it. Don't need Sire of Shards, use GMP for map clearing, swap Slower Projectiles for bossing is plenty I think.

For 8ex, obviously non-crit build:

- 6L PoH 6ex
- Foible 50c + annoint Mind Drinker.
- Cloak of Defiance (just check and see the price skyrocketing lol. I bought it for 70c) : 130c
- With 1ex left: Essence worm, Healthy Mind + Clear Mind. Fill the rest of your items with Mana, life & res. (If you can get a Stygian Vise + Abyss Jewel with Phasing on Kill, helps a lot with Ultimatum)

I think it's enough for red maps, but you won't clear Ultimatum everytime though. Try to farm more to get good cluster jewel. Skyforth is a good budget boots.

where should I be looking for upgrades?

PoB: http://poeurl.com/djEy

Unnatural instinct obviously. Cluster Jewel (you need to redo your tree though). Then switch to crit version. Honestly correct me if I'm wrong but dual curse for this build is overrated. The build has enough damage anyway that for normal mobs having Conducitivy or not doesn't matter. For bosses the effect is minimal.



// Having difficult to understand why we're still using Controlled destruction for Crit build. Doesn't it lower our crit chance? Every top DPS in Poe ninja is using it. Isn't Elemental focus better? PoB agrees with me too...

Can someone help me on upgrades :)?

Hey guy any idea how to complete the lightning damage from mana cost ultimatum challenge with this build?
