[3.16] Enki's Archmage Hierophant - a beginner-friendly Lightning Caster

ok, first of all, thx a lot for the detailed answer.
I have 3 major questions:
2.+3.
6.
and 10.

Would be great if u can go into detail there...

1. Cursed with silence is on the healthy mind jewel already.
2.+3. I planed the both nodes for Level 93 and 94, because I thouoght the jewel with 10% increased mana, 15% incr. Mana regeneration rate, 10% incr. Area Damage and +3% ast speed would be perfect for the build. Seem like it isn't??????????
4. I searched long for both scinti and supercharge but was not able ton find one... The only time I saw one with scinti it was for 120 ex.
5. level 21 anomalous BL purchased, I will go for the blood rage and I will go for enhance instead of onslaught.
6. can I equip the better helmet without the lab enchant? What's better? -9 Lightning resistance or 40% more Ball lightning damage or 15% more arcane cloak? (I run and run for Lab enchant, no luck til now). I will stay with my gloves for resistances.
7. bought
8. I look for better boots but this will be hard to achieve I think
9. I#am looking all the time for a better Stygian (affordable!)
10. I have no prob with clear speed. So I will go for the bossing setup only. THe loss of immune to poison, bleeding and so on doesn`t matter???


Hello
Ok lets see what can i do for you

1. first of all where is your immune to silence ? (corrupted blood is bonus as well) you are a walking dead zombie without it ... its so important

2. you are missing mana and life nodes in healthy mind area .. why would you use that jewel if you wanna ignore the life node (which turns to double mana) ?

3. whats the point of Spirit prism cobalt jewel ? you use a jewel when you want extra bonus like phasing or resistances (if you are missing one) drop the whole talent path and get missing mana nodes and life nodes

4.your large cluster jewel is not the best either try to have disorienting display + corrosive elements with supercharge if you can't find super charge try Scintillating Idea i gotta say supercharge is a big upgrade but also pretty rare ...

5. your ball lightning is not lvl 21 same for your orb of storms.. anomalous blood rage can be used to generate frenzy charges as well if you are willing to spend money on it .. ball lightning hits pretty good number of times so 2% is good enough but you can buff it up with enhance support also you can use enhance support instead of onslaught gem to increase the number of beams on orb of storms.

6. your helm needs upgrade but i think you said you dealt with it ? already ? try to get asenath gloves and use your current gloves for bossing.
tbh if you get curse on it.. its even better for bosses

you can use whispers of doom anoint or corrupted version on your necklace to apply conductivity and elemental weakness you can apply temporal chains as well if you get anoint and the corrupted version but its not needed you will still apply elemental weakness and conductivity with double curse temporal chain will be ignored ... (i do recommend getting the corrupted version and anoint it with mind drinker its pretty good)

7. for movement flask use this one pretty good .. specially with crit recharge its best in slot in my opinion. it also provides long onslaught, blood rage will recharge the frenzy charges anyway


8. your boots can be better but its not bad at this point there are even better versions if you like to spend more


9. your belt is low on life you need a better one budd .. try to reach atleast 3400 life.. try this abyss jewel if you can (check the abyss jewel on the belt) if you can get cooldown recovery rate as well on your belt it would be great


10. remove granite and diamond flask .. get these sets
these two for clear


these two for bossing

or atzir flask for sirus

This is my Ball lightning build try to look into it... it might help you out

1.then i didnt notice it on your jewel my apologies

2+3.not that good .. you are wasting two three talent points for that think about it..

4. try using lightning harvest nodes for it. supercharge is a lightning node

5. good pretty decent upgrades

6. the ideal helm enchant is arcane cloak spends 15 % additional mana
get a helm in this range or maybe something better


7. Cool gj

8. be patient with it

9. check the offline list there are some good ones .. i got one too i think for sale but its not perfect

10. if you got the right pantheon and high regen no you wont ... the only scary poison is for hunter and rest you can regen through it with agnostic
pay close attention to your mana after removing mind drinker because you might need cinderswall setup specially with RF

IF your mana going lower than 50% of your maximum mana while fighting you have regen issues ( arcane cloak doesnt count because it provides you shield)

I followed all the advices I can atm, THX a lot for that:

Your healthy mind is minimum roll tho try to change that

there you go nothing special tho
can't you get rid of lightning ress and put life on ? Not sure if you had open prefix forgot

I am confused with your damage tho i expect a lot more from it... 1164478 on sirus with all buffs best case scenario which is still a lot but i was thinking something around 1.5mil tool tip dps for you at this point try to go through my build see whats wrong i think its just the items now maybe ? idk maybe less cast speed ?

your life and mana size still low tho 3.4k life and 10k to 11k mana are the sweet spots in my opinion if my math is right

Good luck

Found already a better stygian with 114 life and 60 mana (and 24% mana regen) and some other minor useful things.
Need the +30+ Lightning res for the wise oak

I'am looking for a better healthy mind with silence, thx for the tipp

But I don't understand the calculation of BL-Damage either.
I compared our PoB directly:
my cast speed is slightly faster (5,66s to 5,96)
BUT
Your total increased BL-damage is 571, mine is 464
Your total max BL-Damage ist 466 mine just 287.

Differences:
In your calculation is (vaal) righteous fire included (in mine not and I dont know how to change in PoB).
In your calc is concecrated ground incl. which I don't have at all atm.

Furthermore U have checked in configuration: used a flask recently, which I can't check, because I'am missing the checkkbox EDIT: FOUND THAT, Acivate flasks first. Bottled faith make a huge different --> 200.000+).

It is the very first time, that I use PoB other then looking at skills and tree, so I am really new to it...

I just copied your talents and build to my configuration so i have my config exactly to calculate your damage if you wanna go for bottled faith i recommend going with zealotry aura and its watcher eye

Hello,

Does anyone have a Maven video kill for this build in 3.15? She's really the only boss that's still stumping me so far, especially in her last phase.

Are there any gem swaps recommended? Apparently Leap Slam isn't super great against the rotating laser thingy - remove Fortify and then slot in a random Flame Dash for that? Switch to Lightning Warp on a 3L? Might not be enough for it to feel good, I've heard it really requires a full 4L.

I did clip the end of Maven fight relatively early in the leagues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW4DUtdDQFc Sadly it doesn't have the earlier parts since I have shadowplay set to last 3 minutes and didn't remember to save it instantly after killing the Maven. On top of it, the recording only has the easiest variant of the memory game in it.

Leap slam is doable, but I ended up clipping the beams here and there. Might be better to use something else, but it's also kinda preference what you like and what not. I didn't use any gem swaps either.

Your character is way better geared than mine was, so should be just about getting used to the last phase. The damage is really good on this build, and it doesn't fall over instantly either.

ok, got it. had to activate righteous fire. Now DPS is right (1.522.161)
