[3.10] Max Block Storm Brand Ascendant: Budget Friendly, Ultra Tanky, Fast Mapper, Deathless Sirus 8

Hi Guys,

Here's what I've managed to salvage after the nerfs.

https://pastebin.com/vh4NZwZY

6.8k ES, 10k Mana, Max Block, MOM, 15.9m shaper DPS.

Here's a screenshot for the dps/survivability test on a fully-juiced delirium map under the new build.

Hey, I will try to follow your build, I have 1 question, where do you get % damage taken from mana before life?... I want to try this on a wizard, any recomendation to cape block spell and attack damage?... Thanks

About survivality, appart of damage, you think our survvality is better with this new build or with the old one?...

Mind over matter for 30%, then 20% from clarity watchers eye.

For survivability, sadly this build requires you to move around more... but that's because you are dual wielding wands, if you change one wand to a shield then I'd say it's pretty much the same as the previous build. For witch, the offering gives around 28 ish block, you can get the rest from a good shield with +block chance and +spell block chance :)

Hey thanks so much for the replys, and my last question, how did you convert life to energy shield?...

The armor, it adds ES per life reserved, which is why i had blood magic + zealotry + englighten to have 99% of my life reserved, then i took that pain atunement passive to have 100% uptime on +spell dmg when on low life :)

This is a good start, but a couple of things. Your POB has 60% shock and you're using ele focus, so your brands cant shock, which drastically lowers the damage.

Issue number 2, Mind over matter only makes mana take damage before life, and with reserving all of your life it means you can only take approximately 50 damage over your ES effectively making MoM useless.

Im questioning the use of swiftbrand as well, as you can only cast twice (4 brands) befor eyou need mana, plus if you're taking damage it lowers your mana, and the brands expire very quickly.

Am i missing something?

Another issue - Voidbringers have changed to have flat mana added, and barely adds any mana cost and the ones you have in PoB are legacy with flat %

You're also using legacy fevered mind, which means you now need notables (and a lot more of them) to scale mana cost.

His PoB is not for in league use IMO.

Just came back, indigon is the way for sure, basically old archmage costs again. Went from 6x brands doing shit all to 2x brands full clearing packs instantly...

only at 4k mana and it scales 10x again at 8k mana (AT LEAST)

The build isn't really SFF friendly anymore is all the patch did in the end. Build will scale directly with indigon cost if it gets popular.

Since we finally have 3.12 tree...
Any smart person can try to adapt this for Heist?

Looks interesting and would love to go for it. But first item I checked, none available on sale :( (The Wand)
