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

If anyone finds out how to see the masteries that would be great. I'm playing on a mac and can't use PoB. Sadge.

The guide is now updated for 3.16!

Aside from the build itself, I've rewritten many parts completely, changed all wiki links to poewiki.net and completely remade the POB from scratch.

Cast speed is much higher than before. While DPS numbers may look similar, we should gain a good amount of real damage through reaching higher AoE breakpoints. Life and Mana are similar, we lost Fortify and some Mana Regen but gained survivability through full Ele Ailment Immunity, Corrupted Blood Immunity, some reduced Curse Effect and Crit Damage Taken, Temporal Chains and Veteran's Awareness. Clearspeed got a massive buff through Asenath's Gentle Touch, atleast once you have them.

All in all the build should feel better than before, especially in regards to mobility and clearspeed.

Hope everyone has a great league start, I need some sleep now!


Any comments on what dto do with the league mechanic? Is there a particular base you'd suggest we use in the transform, or will it just be junk no matter what? Likewise, the Crucible skills?

Anyway, thanks again for all the hard work you do to maintain the best build guide!

resistance and ailments protection mastery:
asylum: corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you

mana mastery:
deep thoughts: recover 10% of your mana when you use a guard skill
prodigal perfection: 10% of damage recouped as mana
dynamo: clarity has 100% increased mana reservation efficiency

lightning mastery:
crackling speed: non-projectile chaining lightning skills chain +1 times

here you go
edit, nevermind I'm an idiot who doesn't know the difference between notable passives and keystone passives

also funny story: I have been consulting my own post rather then the POB in order to know which mastery I'm getting :D

edit: also puttin a white topaz in the scourge machine makes it elligable for the act 3 recipe thus you don't have to waste currency

Is the POB link working?

It is for me.
So far, my experience with the changes has been a bit of a curve with the couple extra buff skills. I find they can slow me down a bit and it's making my right index finger a bit sore because I gotta put them on the RT+A/B/X/Y skill "page". It would take a bit of getting used to but the extra damage is a good benefit from the clunky feel.
hey,

under cons it is written:

"
- lacks layered defenses


What does that exactly mean? I am thinking about rerolling because I am dieing too much on my league starter.

Does this build have good defense? Can it deal with the crazy damage from scourge?

if you've not done so already put arcane cloack on left-click, it'll not hinder movement and you want that on all the time anyway, the rest are for boss-fights
