Hi, this build looks pretty amazing. I started pal's archmage then transitioned to goratha's version for more tank, would i be able to use the EV/ES suppress versions of the archmage im currently running in the archmage version? don't have a ton of currency (think like 5D)but want a fairly decent map blaster.


Hey! The gear translates, of course, but if you mean to use a Hierophant instead of a Saboteur, the build can feel pretty bad. A lot of it has to do with Triggerbots doubling (QUADRUPLING now) the effect of one Arcanist Brand granting you BV.

Otherwise, if you're keen to reroll, absolutely it will work. Just note that you want to go crit instead of EO, I'm playing EO right now and let me tell you crit will feel infinitely better.

Hi! Just do these things:


1) Get a 6L, swap to crit with Increased Critical Strikes / Increased Critical Damage (replacing arcane surge). Drop Elemental Overload, obviously. Take Arcane Potency on the left side of tree. Run a Diamond Flask - very important. Finally, pick up Explosives Expert as ascendancy, its better than Bomb Specialist.

2) Prism guardians aren't expensive. Put Petrified in there. And see if a Clarity will put you below 51% life reserved. If it doesn't, put clarity in there. Now take Pain Attunement - 30% more damage. And you now have overleech which is GREAT with this build.

3) Run Zealotry - Eternal Blessing.

4) Try to fit an Algor Mortis in the build if budget is an issue. It's huge.

5) Run a second lightning mastery - Increases and Reductions to Mana also apply to shock value at 30% effect or something.

The idea is the 80+ version of the build feels awful because it doesn't necessarily proc EO all the time. May as well go crit, guarantee shocks, and start buffing that crit multi / chance.

Nice, Ty!
I was considering the revamped Dark Seer (Life/mana) since it gives a load of life, mana, malediction and the +2 affects all gems including arrogance, brand recall and auras.

However, it is lacking in cast speed. As you have mentioned, we shouldn't forgo cast speed. Do you have a % in mind thats good enough to avoid clunkiness?

Hey! Yes, Dark Seer is definitely on my list just due to how tanky it can make us, AND the +2 QoL!! It's huuuge!

But yeah. You -really- don't want to dip below 60% cast speed from all sources. BBoU isn't THAT slow a spell, and if it's your first league playing it, you may find it pretty overperforming just due to its huge coverage anyway.

But the essence of the build is to go FAST and BBoU + Shield Charge INTO packs, wiping many packs or screens.

BBoU having any less than 50/60% just makes this a little awkward. Past a point, you have enough damage for all content anyway, reaching 80% cast speed will feel so good. (Try it out. Play one map with a Silver flask (onslaught) and one without. See if you mind the difference.

Hey, how far will Archmages potential with this build be ?

It would be awesome if you can offer a high end pob beyond the week 1 version that can show how to push this further.
Hey there!

Since we don't have That Which Was Taken on this league, what should I replace it with? Also, the cold conversion version is viable without it?

Hmmm, this becomes extremely PoB warrior levels of sweat but here you go:


33 mill "totally not cooked config" version w 43k eHP (Cloak up)
https://pobb.in/VLIU7w1lGQJj

- Adorned Stacking, of course. Double Clusters.
- Casual +1 Curse Atziri's Foible
- Casually assume Punishment is up and applied (but I have toggled 50% less effectiveness at least)
- Very degenerate pathing
- Removes Runebinder, which is a fairly massive DPS increase on Uber fights as it doubles the activations we get from just having Brands attached
- Shitty Mana regen that you won't notice till you're dead on the floor
