I'm not following this. Then what purpose is cast while channeling serving? You no longer have anything to "cast while channeling" You're just running a 5 link with a 6th support gem that does nothing? controlled destruction is for spells too and cyclone isnt a spell so really it's a 4 link with the added benefit of sometime you unnerve?

and that's somehow more DPS. I dont see how

cast when channeling on 5 lvl give You immunity for stun ;)

Lmao true but this must be the weirdest way of getting it. Also since we're stun immune and our freeze avoidance is 100% ( thanks to Purity of Elements ), maybe we should drop Brine King as our major god and pick Araakali instead for higher recovery rate and chaos resistance ?

I don't know about the mana leech thing you're relying on your burst phase too much vs a flow DPS aka your mana bond.

Hey guys, what did you guys level up with until you could switch to manabond? Should i lvl up with totems or self cast spells? Because im doing 0 dps right now :D

What do you think about shaper touch in order to drope manaleech and accuracy support ?
Still tryin to corrupt them to +2 energy an +2 mana...

I did this switch. The damage loss from algor mortis is barely noticeable and you get a crap load of mana/energy shield and enough accuracy to drop accuracy gem in cyclone. I went from 86% to hit to 100%.

you also lose Sap with 200% increased effectiveness though.

I know I'm losing DPS. I'm saying once you're in end game with good gear the damage loss from it did not matter for me.

I find for general mapping I wasn't even using vortex for the chill (unless you're applying chill via other means) as I'm killing everything before I even get the chance to chill.

This makes no sense. I'm using arc instead of ball lighting and that actually contributes a decent chunk of DPS. Sacrificing that for 10% increased spell damage seems bad, unless you're just doing this for bosses like sirus etc.

I did enki's balllighting archmage build. it was super easy

somewhere around act 7-8 I started spending passive points towards this build to limit the number of regrets I needed and it resulted in a lot of deaths during those final acts lmao. If I could go back and do it again I'd just follow Enki's build to the T then swap out at lvl 70 as long as you've got all the uniques

having superfun with this build so far... i think it deserves more attention :D

Ahoy, looking to try this build but one question:

Since the mana is often empty from what I can see on the videos and we don't have 100% flask uptime on bosses, will anything that deals some chaos damage just outright kill you since there is no mana to counteract it?

Build looks great but I don't understand how that works. Thanks in advance for clarification!

Well it looks like it is gonna be like this but it really isnt... I made 3 fast levels from 89 to 92 very fast without skipping awakeners and scourge mechanics. Do try it !

In my opinion, next step on dps improvement, how to get my 7.57 aps ? ;)
