So I got really frustrated with those megalomaniac prices, and here's what I did. Arcanist brand with wave of conviction, combustion, arcane surge and vaal righteous fire(helmet) , and switched flame dash to shield charge, faster attacks and fortify(shield) , this way I can have both fortify and arcane surge. Hope it's useful for you guys! Cheers!

Edit: no combustion on arcanist brand setup, I left combustion on reckoning and went with vaal righteous fire for bosses,sorry.

I am a little confused.

Could you tell me when you are casting the various spells in your helmet? I don't think I understand which spell is being used when between WOC, Brand and Righteous Fire....

Ok, as you guys can see, I'm not good at those forum posts, hahahahaha.

So it's helmet: arcanist brand + wave of conviction + combustion + arcane surge.

Boots: vaal righteous fire + reckoning + curse on hit + flammability.

Shield: shield charge + faster attacks + fortify.

Rest as build guide recommends.

Sorry for the confusion.

Have fun everyone!

I still don't understand the helmet as I have never used Arcanist Brand and don't understand its interaction with WOC.

I think I would use the skill Arcanist Brand, and when the brand attaches itself, it will trigger WOC (with arcane surge and combustion as supports).

Is that the correct usage of this setup in the helmet?

Yeah, WOC applies exposure and grants arcane surge, and we use shield charge to gain fortify, so we can bypass the overlord node, that's a cheap approach to get both arcane surge and fortify, with the overlord megalomaniac the process is automated, but it's quite expensive right now. You have to try and see if it's worth it the trouble.

Cheers!

Thank you.

Do you use the Arcanist Brand a lot while clearing or is it more of a single target tool?

More single target, or tougher rares like Betrayal or abyss...

thanks!! just one more question.

Do you level all 3 gems to max and then level Arcane Surge appropriately (to 8 I think when all other 3 are at 20)?



ps: I assume you remove Arcane Surge if we get Arcane Adept in the cluster jewel..
