[3.25] The Lazy Nova - Archmage MoM Crit Ice Nova of Frostbolts with Svalinn
Been playing on and off casually for some time, and have recently tried transitioning to this version from the spell suppression one, definitely felt an improvement with the survivability.
I am currently able to do 8 mods T16s but feel that I am still a little weak in both defense and offense. I know that what I have is by no means anywhere near to ideal yet but would definitely appreciate any guidance on how to improve the character further, as well as the top priorities to do so.

Am definitely not well versed enough with the mechanics or things to look out for in the game yet, and I'm hoping that any of your suggestions would help guide me along, thank you!
i am trying to compare the great volley support and the greater multiple projectiles support in this build.
On paper the volley support seemes to be so much better. Is this true or when do we use this one?

BR
Gmp is better for map clear, volley is better for single target. However I dont bother changing it for the content and just use volley. It is just about preference.

mageblood with ralakesh version
1million ehp
177million dps (145million without the vaal ice nova dmg)
100% reduce crit
all res cap
right now my char have a good balance of tankyness and dps, i definitely want to add more def.
just wanted to check if i got everything right in the build , i mostly followed builds from everyone here and poeninja.
*You can get a nice DPS boost if you swap Power Charge on Crit for Intensity and take the appropriate Mastery for Intensity. You should have no issues generating Power Charges with out Power Charge on Crit.
* Defensively things look great. Curse Immune, Stun Immune, Ailment Immune and Crit immune is the goal and it looks like you have all of them in place. One place you can add some extra defense would be in an +1 Endurance Charge corruption on the boots.
* I see one place you can make a quick significant improvement. Your Amethyst flask has "leech spell damage as ES" as a suffix. That suffix does not help our build because we cap ES leech on the tree with Light Eater. You can change this to anything else you like (I would recommend 14% movement speed as your movement speed is a little low right now).
Hi Andy, ty for the insight , appreciate it
1. "take the appropriate Mastery for Intensity"
which one are u talking about?
caster mastery=spells which can gain intensity have +1 maximum intensity , is this the one ?
2. +1 Endurance Charge corruption on the boots = am planning on buying one this week , farming some currency for it
3. for the flask i wasnt sure if it could double dip for both leech, i guess u answer that now lol , will swap for movement speed then
And If I were you, I'd set shock to 30% cause without shock mastery, it is not realistic to achieve 50% shock on bosses. This will give more realistic dps numbers.
Decided to run a armour version (suprise! we cant scale it enough due to aura and missing skillpoints) but its still doing fine! Im terrible bad at setting up pob (even with ur tips for configuration @Andy) :( It says im at 85% crit chance but my dps seems suuuuper low for my investement so far(10 mill?!) If anyone could take a look would be super nice:/
Also im still torn between using the instant leech mastery (could save a lot of skillpoints if not that important) or not... atm im using it and it feels nice but also bought some new stuff and dont know if its the mastery or gear:s Could anyone give insight on that?
Tried to redo my wand aswell... it went horrible but will use it at it is for now. We would use Scorn or Woe as Essences right?
My pob as i set it up (an probably wrong): https://pobb.in/OabUtNFAT1Le

Here is your POB set up with our standard config. Your DPS is fine at 148m
Instant Leech is critical. Do not change it. We experimented earlier in the thread but were not able to find away around spending those points to get the mastery.

Hello.
* First thing I would do is change the Militant Faith. The one you chose overwrote the key node Instability. When choosing the Militant Faith, there are specific nodes we need to protect so that they are not over written. There is a section in the build guide that will give more details on this.
* Buy the Power Charge corrupted helmet
* Since you are using Brine King, your life Flask "freeze and chill" do little for you. I would move the corrupted bleeding suffix over to the life flask and then on the Silver Flask add another suffix that may help you (maybe Reduced Effect of Curses"
* Since you are using Intensify support, change the Caster Mastery to "...+1 to maximum intensity"
* Note that there is very little benefit to adding a ton of levels to GMP in this build. By doing do it will raise your need for Dex stats which we want to avoid for the most part.
Hi all! I've been loving the build, but wanted to see if I could get some advice on how to push it further. Got around 20-30 divs currently, looking primarily to make the build tankier if possible!

Also, is this wand worth the haunted enchant?
Hello! Here are some comments you can consider
*The wand base we recommend is a Profane Wand. The implicit on that wand you have is not helping the build. You should be able to find something similar in a profane wand for not too much money and then you can slap the Enchant on it (or look for a profane wand with the Enchant already on it, that might be easier and cheaper in the end)
*The Spell Damage Leech as ES suffix on the Granite flask does not work in our build because we cap our ES leech via Light Eater on the tree.
*Add quality to More Duration and Automation for better uptime of Arcane Cloak

Thank you! Will give them a shot, really appreciate your help!
