[3.25] The Lazy Nova - Archmage MoM Crit Ice Nova of Frostbolts with Svalinn
" * When using Lightning Pen on the gloves, it is expected that you have Life Leech via the large cluster node Doryani's Lesson. * If you do not yet have the large cluster, keep life leech on the gloves. * If you have a Mageblood you can use a flask to remove elemental reflect if you want. But most of us just reroll ele reflect on a map. Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge on Oct 17, 2024, 10:02:42 AM

" * Your next upgrade should be moving to the large cluster set up. See the build guide in the first post for detailed information * Get the 10% instant leech mastery. It is extremely important for survival * You have over leveled GMP causing you to have dexterity needs. GMP can remain at level 1 in this build and it won't effect you. Our build does all our damage via Ice Nova. If you de-level GMP, it should open up a suffix for you on a piece of gear that no longer needs dexterity * We have found through testing that 10% of damage taken recouped as mana mastery has not been helpful to the build. * Since you are using the Intensify support gem, you need to change your caster mastery to "....+1 to maximum Intensity" * Your chaos res is very low. As you improve your gear, keep an eye out for adding some chaos res * The suffix on your diamond flask is not that helpful to the build as you are already capped on resistances with out it. The Silver Flask suffix is completely wasted. Not only do you not need the elemental resistances, POE does not allow the same suffix to be used on two different flasks. I would highly recommend changing both of these flasks. See the build guide for examples of what you want. You also need quality on your quicksilver flask for better uptime * You need to get quality on many of your gems for more DPS and defense. Please see the build guide to see which gems benefit from quality and which do not. * You can cap your attack block with some tattoos as you have plenty of spare +10 strength nodes you can use. You should be able to cover all of this with your budget. When you are complete, you can come back for a new review. Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge on Oct 17, 2024, 10:16:31 AM

Any idea what i should upgrade next ? Budget is around 46D, thanks :) |

I've died a few times now due to no instant healing. Any suggestions? Not sure what I'm doing wrong to make this build not feel tanky

" Hello, I have reviewed your POB and here are some comments you can consider: * You don't need a portal gem in the game any more. The game now provides a way to bind a key to your portal scrolls. Just look in the settings for it. * In place of the Portal gem, add in Elemental Weakness and link it to your Brand set up for a large DPS boost * You can get a massive DPS increase by replacing your wand. Flat lightning damage does extremely little for this build and flat cold damage does even less. Look for a Profane wand base when searching * You can cap attack block using some tattoos on your +10 strength nodes * You are ready to make the swap to the large cluster setup. Please see the build guide for lots of details on this * Your path when going to the Unnatural Instinct socket is incorrect. You went the wrong way in that wheel. You want to allocate the life regen nodes, not the Increased Mana nodes (read the description of the Unnatural Instinct gem so that you can understand why) * Since you are using the Intensify support gem, you need to change your caster mastery to "....+1 to maximum Intensity" |

" are you sure this is the correct POB? You have two empty sockets allocated in the tree. That is a massive amount of power missing from this POB. I will try and give some comments any way: * Your path when going to the Unnatural Instinct socket is incorrect. You went the wrong way in that wheel. You want to allocate the life regen nodes, not the Increased Mana nodes (read the description of the Unnatural Instinct gem so that you can understand why) * You are not blocked capped. You can try replacing the Bottled Faith with a Rumi's to cap your block, which will give a sizable boot to surviving * You did not list your Pantheon's, but they should be Lunaris (fully leveled) and Abberarth (fully leveled) * The bench craft on your wand does not work with this build. We are a spell based build and as such "Attacks with this weapon..." does nothing for you. You also have a stat on the wand for attack speed and that is wasted as well. Since we are a spell based build, you want to look for caster modifiers (like cast speed). * We are not an evasion build. In fact, evasion has anti synergy with our shield. Your gloves are an evasion base. If and when you look to upgrade these, get a pair that are either ES based, or ES/Armor based * You are missing the important corruption on your helmet (+1 to maximum power charges) * Your rare ring implicit is not helping the build as you are well overcapped with out it. * The second devotion modifier on your Militant Faith is not useful because you are ailment immune via Stormshroud.

" Hi Andy, I tried plugging in the mirror wand and ring that you have and only DPS moved significantly, EHP just about 5-10%. Your EHP is almost twice than mine and I'm unsure what to tweak in order to get it up higher. With the endurance and frenzy charges always maxed out with the boots, I was hoping for better EHP numbers. Thoughts on where I how I can improve EHP? Here's the latest POB: https://pobb.in/wZXB3OVe-sqr Thank you! |

" Hi Boss! Here are some reasons why your EHP is lower than mine: * Your Chaos res is -1%. Mine is 76%. Note that you should be looking to get a ton of chaos on your ring. You are WAY over kill on cold resistance. Change that stat out for as much chaos res as you can get. * Your max ele resists are 75%. Mine are 78% * Your mana pool is significantly smaller (5242 compared to 7247), this is important for Mind Over Matter * I am crit immune, you are taking 100% of crit damage * Your life + ES is much lower than mine Please note that the version you are running will always have less EHP by definition than the version I run due to the gear you have (Badge and Ralakesh) as your version is more offense oriented. Mine is more defense oriented. I pump up my offense via the ring and wand. Also note that the mirror ring is not for your version of the build as the Frenzy mod is wasted for you. Two config notes: 1) Your inspiration charges are too high. We do not maintain max inspiration charges. I would recommend lowering this to 3, which is more around the average we maintain. 2) You are selecting Enemy is Unnerved but you do not have a source of unnerve, which we normally get from our Glove implicit. You are so far over capped on cold resistance, that I think you can also get rid of the cold res on the glove implicit and get Chance to Unnerve on Hit instead.

The ralakesh/badge version sacrifices a lot of survivability because of losing out on life rolls and you've made it worse by not investing at all in chaos resistance. There is a reason that it is suggested you run an amethyst flask with mb and its because if you don't invest in chaos resist chaos damage will kill you very easily. Your phys and ele max hit is about 20% lower than mine because of inoptimal or inextant life rolls on gear, your chaos max hit is less than a quarter of mine, given that I can facetank anything short of a 150 pack size titanic scarab t17 boss with 60% delirium I can say with some degree of certainty that the issue is your abysmal chaos resist. You are also not crit immune so crit mods on maps can be incredibly rippy, I would recommend at least investing in a crit reduction chest.
