Hmm interesting build.
Should we take gems with normal quality from your char?
Or?
And we going indigon instead of crown + cloak of defiance instead of replica kaom?
Have 12ex atm so want to buy good gear

At the moment I dont have an Indigon, because it is week 1 they're really expensive so I can't advise for it at the moment.


Crown is cheap, problem is finding one with +1 cremation geyser because those are expensive, so just get a normal crown.


Kaom's is way cheaper than Cloak of defiance as well, but you might not have enough sockets.


I would suggest 6L sire of shards, Crown, kaoms, omeyocan then spend the rest getting the right skill gems.

I've done A8 Sirus already and a couple of other hard content, so this build is good for many situations.

Hello

Very interesting build, even tho i don´t like the cremation playstyle that much.

I might give it a chance and try it, but i have a doubt. I´ve never played an archmage build before and i see a lot of people playing Hierophant versions, what are the pros/cons of going Scion vs Hierophant?

Thanks, and grats on the build

Scion has access to ranger nodes and pathfinder flask generation for easier bossing and is far more effective at cheap to medium cost range and is better than hiero if you're running archmage cremation without indigon.

The only other competing class for this build will be necro, you have very good ascendencies that give you shock generation, cast speed from corpse consumption and offerings (nerfed this league)


Hierophant has better mana scaling with indigon and huge AOE, but will not build into agnostic.


Having played both Hiero and Scion I'd say scion is better. But as for whether scion is better than necro I think it's a tossup.

I can see now you play Awakned Unleash instead of Concentrated Effect


is it worth it to swap for unleash even not awakened ?


Thx ans have nice sunday =)

yep! I'll make a mapping video soon to show how Unleash makes mapping clear so much faster.

With cloak of defiance we using immortal call instead of arcane cloak? Like on your standard character? Or what gems we adding with another 6l?

In the other build we had indigon which prevented us from using arcane cloak.



So immortal call was the guard skill of choice there.

all good


found your POB on POE NINJA =) https://pastebin.com/gLLsEraT

Anyone have any idea how this build would compare to ball lightning archmage?

Depends. Do you have an example of the mentioned BL archmage?


My take is that for BL, the nerfs on it have hit it especially hard and you need considerably more investment for it to be competitve.

Supercharged BL quality versions are like 2 EX.
