[3.25] The Lazy Nova - Archmage MoM Crit Ice Nova of Frostbolts with Svalinn

...

* You should change your militant faith. The one you chose mistakenly overwrote two very important nodes in the build, that being Deep Thoughts and Prodigal Perfection. Please see the build guides FAQ section labeled "Timeless jewels are confusing" for details on how to choose the Militant Faith so that you do not over write any of our important nodes.

* On the caster Mastery, change what you have to ".......+ 1 to maximum intensity" for a nice damage boost, as you are using the Intensify support gem

* Upgrade your Rumi's to help you cap Attack Block (and in the mean time, add quality to your current Rumi's to have better up time)

* You can improve upon your Boot implicits. The key one you want to look for is Action Speed

* As you upgrade gear, you need to focus on getting better chaos res. Your current -20% is pretty low for end game

* Add quality to Automation, More Duration, Punishment, Eternal Blessing, Assassins Mark and Arcane Cloak. Assassins Mark should be the very first you add quality to as it is critical to the build as it is how you generate power charges against single targets.



Appreciate you taking the time to look, I found a better Militant faith(https://pobb.in/DoD3nTLtNoHz) by following advice from this post: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3552529/page/70#p25440911

It wasn't clear to me that we had to protect those nodes, thanks!

Updated the mastery and now I'll try and work towards the other gear updates.

Thanks again!

hello! Congrats on the mageblood!

I have reviewed your POB and here are some comments to consider:


* You should change your militant faith. The one you chose mistakenly overwrote a very important node in the build, that being Heart of Thunder. Please see the build guides FAQ section labeled "Timeless jewels are confusing" for details on how to choose the Militant Faith so that you do not over write any of our important nodes.

* You can upgrade a bunch of gems for more offense and defense. Get level 21/20 Eternal Blessing, Purity of Elements, Punishment, Ice Nova of Frostbolts, Spell Echo, Increased Crit Damage, More Duration, Assassins Mark, and Intensify. Get 21/0 gems for Sigil of Power, Frost Shield, Enfeeble, Elemental Weakness, and Conductivity. Put quality on Arcanist Brand

* Your Anethema ring implicit is not useful for the build since you are already using Conductivity in the brand setup. Change this implicit to anything else that helps the build.

* Find a way to get Corrupted blood immunity on one of your jewels. The suffix on the Sulphur Flask is way too valuable to spend on corrupted blood immunity when you have a Mageblood.

* I would recommend changing the Amulet anoint to Infused. Many of us found that we no longer needed Minddrinker to maintain our mana. Your mana regen is excellent in this POB so I am guessing you won't miss Minddrinker. Infused will give you a nice boost in DPS


Thank you for your input and reviewing my POB!

I did not realized I was using a wrong timeless jewel for a long time... Haha

What would be a good suffix for the Sulfur Flask? Stun/Recovery or Leech?

In the meantime I'm also planning to change the movement speed suffix on the Onslaught flask to Stun avoid.

Leech suffix isn't needed, you will already be hitting max leech rate from your passive tree. Not sure how good block recovery is, but seems logical.

I would suggest collecting a few utility suffixes on the same flask to swap in and out, such as:

% reflected damage reduction
% increased rarity
% movement speed
“Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.”

Block and Stun Recovery are directly linked together.

When an attack is blocked, the game also calculates if the attack would have caused a stun were it not blocked. If it would have caused a stun, the blocking animation is played, stunning you briefly. If it would not have caused a stun, then you get a "free" block with no animation.

Any build that has full Stun Immunity/Avoidance will never have the block animation proc.

As such, if you have Stun Immunity/Avoidance, Block/Stun Recovery becomes a wasted stat.
Apologies if this has been asked already, but I'm thinking of making the Svalinn&Mageblood version of this, and I'm wondering about people's thoughts regarding using a well rolled Utmost instead of Atziri's Foible? By well rolled, I mean one that's around 20/4/35/10.

I am not familiar enough with that version to give any useful advice but there are plenty of level 100 Ice Nova Svalinn builds that use Utmost on poeninja that it certainly seems viable. I have even seen a couple of builds in this thread using Utmost.
Is there any way to add mana leech to this build that I'm missing? Even with a 21 Clarity and an Atziri's Foible the regen isn't enough in later Simu rounds. My current PoB https://pobb.in/-vZOQfiDhDGs
Yes you need to path to "light eater" in your tree, and take the node 10% of leech is instant.

If that's not enough I would take a Cloack of Defiance, which gives you 1% mana regen per second.

Other options are: a necklace with Mind drinker enchant. Or a ring with 8% mana cost reduction of spells.

You can only get mana leech with attacks. So regen is our only reliable choice tho you can use %10 chance to recover %10 of mana mastery or some mana coup.

Light Eater(and instant leech mastery) is extremely important to the build for both life and ES leech but we don't leech mana in this build, which is his question.
