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

I played a month with a friend in private league, bro SSF style, for a month.
Now that the PL league ended, I (and someone from my guild) help him switch to block + craft better gear.
I'm pretty happy with the wand as it was a recomb failure and we manage to save it with harvest add caster. And was able to snitch a good timeless jewel.

Here is the POB:

Since i didn't played the build myself, did you see anything to fix (yeah the silver flask is horrendous)?
Also is the POB properly configured?

This is SSF? That is an insane setup if so. And good job on the wand!

Off the bat I would suggest: (Im looking at the pob on web view bc I'm not at home, so may be missing something)

Crafting new gloves.
-the dex roll seems like a waste, unless you have a dex requirement coming from the chest. If dex requirement is coming from any of the rare int/dex bases, then you should consider swapping the craft to an int or int/str base. (only reason for this build to run a int/dex base is if you are adding in spell suppression)
-Getting a life roll is big, as this league the rolls are so much higher than bench craft (up to 125 i believe)
-Ideally use the open prefix for increased damage while leeching, or increased damage during any flask effect. (or if you end up swapping to a focus dd wand at any point, increased cast speed while focused suffix is an option)

Amethyst Ring:

Current one is nice, but if you did recraft, try and not get a mana roll, so that you can benchcraft the % reduced mana cost of spells (betrayal mod)

QoL:

Personally I would prioritize getting some movespeed on the boots. If not, at least keep a pair of 35% ones in your stash for use when doing anything besides mapping. I cant imagine kingsmarching with no added move speed.

Here are some more comments:

*Set Inspiration charges to 3 in config. We can not maintain max inspiration charges as we cycle through them constantly.

*In the setting "Is the Enemy a boss", set this to "Guardian/Pinnacle Boss"

*Make sure you add quality to Assassins Mark. This is critical to help us maintain power charges against single targets

Sorry we played in PL and upgrade when we merged on trade. Edited the message to make it clearer.

What an adventure.
First intermediate recomb wand, perfect keeping the 3crafted mod.
Second, same.
6-7div so far (and a looooot of time alting wands), including clean the wand. One caster annul and three lucky annul.so far big luck.

Then final recomb we lost crit mod (20% chance to loose). We tried to save it.
22 or so annul with cannot roll caster (with a streak of 9 loosing 50/50 and annulling the meta mod, to aug caster the worst roll possible. We settled for T2 crit chance.

Going from one of my best luck to one the worst luck.

Mmh, without this we have 24 or so dex.
No dex anywhere else.

Chest requires 57 dex, some spell requires 51 or so.
The big requirement are the boots. The base requires big dex (73), even with foible.

If you ever get around to recrafting boots or buying new ones, we recommend avoiding Evasion bases in this version of the build. Evasion has anti synergy with our shield.

For the rare bases, you want ES or ES/Armor bases.

Yea, the only reason to use a dex base is if you are trying to fit spell suppression in, which is pretty unfeasible with the unique chest this build uses.

@Andy, but speaking of dex bases, check these new crafts out!



Capped my crit damage reduction and added +1 max resist all with the upgraded eldritch implicit, and also lowered my overall dex requirement with the chest and boots.

Had to swap my flex flask suffix to ele resist to cover for the crit suffix addition on the chest, but plan to eventually get it back with an ele resist corruption on ring/belt and a jewel suffix.

Those are amazing!!!!!!

I have almost no knowledge of crafting so this is like magic to me.

May I ask why the avoid chill stat on the boots or it is one of those hybrid stats that comes with something else you want?

Thanks xD

Well they definitely weren't cheap to do, if that makes it seem less magical, heh.

The avoid chill is a sad outcome =( but I was out of divine at that point (boots were 2nd).

The mod is a betrayal mod, crafted using a veiled orb. It is also a hybrid, its part of the movement speed. I would have liked to get the movement speed + additonal movemment speed when not damaged, but i didnt get lucky unveiling.

Chest Craft:

Bought 2 dex/int base with 40% requirement enchant already on it (1d ea)
Essence rolled base with Anger Essence (fire resist) until hitting perfect T1 Spell suppression (~15d)
Fracture orb to fracture spell suppression, took 2 tries. (30d)
Essence roll with Horror Essence (crit dmg reduc) until hit T1 any ele resist (30d)
Harvest bench craft ele resist into fire resist w/ perfect roll (1d)
Craft suffix can not be changed and harvest reforge for life until hit T1 life (took about 10 tries, ~25d)
Bench craft a blocker mod for unwanted mods, exalt slam.
Divine for good life roll (8d)
Harvest divine to fix resist roll (50c)
Bench craft mana/life %
Eldritch spam with grand ember/ichors for correct implicits (15d, including orb fails)
Orb of conflict until hit +2 max resist (requires 2 upgrades in a row) 30d, got very unlucky

Cost prob 10-15d or so less than whatever that all adds up, left over materials and rough estimates.
