New to this build and leveling with trap -- with all the mentions of using a scepter or wand, are people just stacking a ton of INT? Am I missing something?

you're stacking mana in conjuction with arcane cloak, increased effect of arcane surge and sigil of power to bolster "Archmage" support which adds lightning damage based on mana spent

My question is more how are people getting the int required to wear wands?

Hey I'm trying to run this build but can't seem to make the POB work. Some people have mentioned it needs to be up to date but mine is as far as I can tell. Someone else mentioned might have clicked the POB on discord. Is there multiple POB programs? Is 1.4.170 the latest POB? if not maybe my POB is broken. Otherwise just knowing some items to work towards would be nice.

you need to use POB community fork not the normal POB

Well that was it. I had to delete the old POB and download the community fork. Thanks a lot. Wonder if everyone else having issues just needs to do that.

the tree provides enough. Wands are also -not- the recommended weapons in the POB. Sceptres are. Wands are fine to use though.

Great Build. Here's my gear after 20 hours /played on SSF



I have a ton of work to do, got really lucky on the random Atziri 6L haha but it won't go 5B :(.

The build tank's the ultimatum's like a boss, I can usually easily go to max on most of them on red maps.

I'm wondering when / if I should replace my life flask with something else, don't have any of the recommended one's yet. Also thinking how to counter corrupted blood, might need to get lucky on a gem.

for CB you'll definitely want a gem sadly, for a life flask replacement you can also run a stib if you've dropped smoke mine. Something you can do is sigil, get stage 4, vaal grace, vaal RF, arcane cloak and sit in a smoke cloud while you get 3 stacks of intensify absolutely destroying everything around you. Other flask options can be a jade as well, we largely neglect evasion compared to most other stats so 3k eva can add quite a bit to your EHP. Other than that, wise oak, ToH, Rumi's and Kiara's are all solid options (kiara's is for stun immune when you walk into a big pack, it's what i run in gauntlet when/if i get one)

I'm also trying to figure out if I feel confident enough to replace my life flask yet. I recommend you add on a jade flask of reflexes if you're going to add another flask, it probably doubles your chance to evade. You're already fine for corrupted blood because you have Staunching suffix on your life flask. If you replace that flask just get Staunching on a different flask.

the problem with t16 ultimatums though is you get very tanky yellow mobs that inflict CB and you may not be able to staunch it off eventually. Jewel is very important late game.

i'm not a huge fan of leveling trees that require 10+ more regrets than you get from the main quests...
