So how do you level with it through acts?

Because the build is very heavily focused on EHP, alot of your initial nodes will be mana/health.

You have two options, go split arrow and level with a bow and stack heralds.

or you pick a spell like freezing pulse then traps/mines.

Pick up archmage early and level it up.



When you hit 48 you'll be able to equip a sire of shards (they're cheap so you can grab one with good stats as you level for 1c)


After you do that, run ball lightning on slower projectiles/GMP with archmage and start building a second ball lightning setup (pledge of hands) with spell echo/slower projectiles/archmage for bosses.

Once you have BL, start doing labs. It should be easy.


Always ensure your res is capped out with the rares you pick up and with the health/mana nodes you pick up you should be able to survive till blood aqueducts. Farm blood aqueducts till you're 71 and accumulate currency. Once you hit 71 you should be somewhat close to the end state of this build (maybe no omeyocan or indigon, but the rest is affordable and you should have it then).

After you've hit 71, clear the story and start mapping. Once you get indigon/omeyocan and gotten Uberlab completions, congrats you're ready for t12-14 maps.

After that is just pushing for better flasks, trying to get jewels to balance your res for wise oak and just level to 90+.

Swap to a VD setup whenever you're comfortable. This build runs BL on both Sire and Pledge just as comfortably as it does a VD/Cremation swap. The only time you 100% have to swap is when you get your indigon. You can't run indigon with BL+archmage because you're not a Hierophant with -50% mana cost.

Thanks! Will try it out.

Seems like a crazy build, defo will try it out!

Thanks! I'm starting to figure out because this build's mechanic of scaling damage by using archmage and indigon to create 4 second interval burst. It doesn't require any commitment to one particular skill or so I've actually started using Bladefall + Bladeburst with amazing results as well.

Pretty much the same passive tree and gear, just different skill/support gems.

A8 Sirius Done!

too much to cast manually. how to automate some skills?

Hmm I find that since you can only cast VD once every 4 seconds you should be able to cycle through your different skills while you're waiting to cast VD again.

But if that still doesn't do it for you I guess if you could do a dual wield wand setup and run 6-L VD on chest you could technically craft a "trigger socketed spell" for noth wands and socket in Wave of Conviction/Bladefall/Conductivity/Desecrate/Bone Offering.

Swap out the staff block nodes for DW block nodes.

As long as you can keep your ramped cost close to your max mana pool on a 6-L you're good to go.

could you make a video of any map clearing?
