" Don't worry, it won't happen at all. As long as you keep upgrading the gear, it performs great. I just got to A8 and killed Sirus with no deaths on this (gear somewhere around 20ex worth I'd estimate: https://pastebin.com/FtFmzbaS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_rFhl7AgpU ). The bossing is pretty good, map clear is more than acceptable. " I still use it. Quite nice at least in my eyes. Last edited by Leimus on Aug 20, 2021, 3:03:52 AM

" I am on the same boat, exile! I have a toddler and a baby myself, married and only manage to play some nights if not tired, so managed to spend around 18-20ex on gear (I am somewhat experience with trading/pricing items so helps with making currency) and so far flying through T14-T16 A4 maps and will be doing Sirus pretty soon too. The build is so different of what I've played in the past that kept me into it improving it. Mapping is good with OoS setup and I have it with RF. Single target is really good imo but you need to be mobile between boss attacks. Definitely a great guide NON META and considering all the crap that went on this league with Mana nerfs! Kudos to Enki and everyone here posting their progression and helping out with questions. Cheers | |

So, regarding the movelock that Ball Lightning gives during the cast animation, and Spell Echo and Greater Spell Echo support making those animations repeat multiple times, making the movelock last longer. What can be done?
|
|
" The staff in itself having Greater Spell Echo makes Ball Lightning terrible to use without considerable cast speed. Spell Echo gem while adding one more ball to the cast lock does actually make it much better since it has notable amount of cast speed to it. Personally I found that the cast speed reached an acceptable spot when I added the quite expensive Unnatural Instinct jewel to the mix along with all the other cast speed nodes available to us. I even rather use the cast speed / block staff nodes on the passive tree on instead of the elemental damage buffs that are above those nodes. Though worth emphasizing that it was still just fine without Unnatural Instinct, I just feel that one pushed it from playable to enjoyable for me. Last edited by Leimus on Aug 20, 2021, 5:10:31 AM

Hi guys, first off I want to thank all of you for providing such deep guide for a newbee like me.
I just wanted to share my character with you guys and maybe you can give me some suggestions or find some mistaked in my gear/gems. Thank you in advance! | |

3139 is also a good seed for Militant Faith

Hi guys, might sound silly but can someone confirm if arcane cloak is effected by mana reservation? For eg, if i have 50% reserved mana then my damage reduction from arcane clock will also go down cause i spent less mana?
| |
" Arcane cloak spends #% of your current mana. So reserving will cut heavily into the power of arcane cloak. If you're playing this build though, you shouldn't reserve mora mana than what clarity takes since it's an archmage support build. Wrath goes into essence worm ring as that causes no mana reservation when it's on that ring. | |

Like others i'm starting to hit a wall now that i'm in t16's. I really like the build and it's fun to play, but i think as a newer player that doesn't have crafting and all that down for those end game modifiers, I'm missing some damage and stuff that makes it more viable for the end game.
Anyone have a really good guide for noobs on how to properly craft those gg items for that extra edge? And what influences am i supposed to have for some of those mods that don't seem to roll on typical rares or crafting bench options? I suppose i could buy similar, but idk if i wanna sink many more exalts into this incase i need to switch for end game. |
