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

"
how important is maxing out block chance so you can drop rumi's? it seems pretty important, since during boss fights u dont get a consistent uptime on rumis, thus your block and ehp is reduced quite a lot. but the next problem with this is insufficient jewel nodes


maxing block without Rumis is part of your end-game progression(meaning the build is perfectly viable for most content without doing so) and important for several reasons.

1. As you noted, relying on conditional defenses is not always effective (lack of flask charges)

2. Dropping Rumi's allows you to add a 4th mageblood flask + bottled faith.

As far as how you achieve max block, jewels are not the only way.

1. Tattoos. You can replace str nodes with +1% block. You can give up a gear suffix for a strength roll to support this.

2. Corrupt implicits. You can get +% block implicits on amulet or shield. This can be very expensive, but is the eventual min/max solution.

Hi, when someone has a chance could they go over what I could do to improve my build? sitting on 120D currently.

Also, what strategies for farming are people finding success with?

*Having issues at work getting POB to load in the web viewer, so just looking at the gear.

1. Missing ailment immunity.
-Solution is Stormshroud jewel or Purity of Element Aura. If using stormshround, you have to get 100%+ chance to avoid shock. This can be done prior to mageblood by getting it as an affix/implicit on boots + affix on your abyssal jewel.

2. All your rare gear is on the right track stat wise, but could all be upgrades thru self crafts pretty easily/mid-budget. One thig to keep in mind when doing os if whether you plan to run purity of elements for the ailment immunity or not, which will affect your need for ele res affix's greatly.
-Other than getting ele res capped, focus on high mana rolls (ring is only one that bench craft is good for).

3. Are you missing a 5th flask? POB link is only showing 2 magic + 2 unique.

4. Chaos res. Not the biggest deal, but work on getting your chaos res up higher, if not capped.

5. Quality, everything. Add quality to all your gems, armor, and jewelry. this is fairly minor individually, but as a awhole is a big boost for little investment.

Badge of brotherhood is only really good when used with Ralakesh boots. This is a dps oriented variant, that should only really been swapped to post-mageblood, in my opinion. Reason being, you will lose alot of stats from your boots, including movespeed, and mageblood is the easiest way to compensate.

As far as farming strats, this build is good for pretty much everything. Personally, I would suggest going with something fairly easy for now so that you can grind out a few more levels while farming. Some suggestions at this stage in league would be:

T16 Alva/Map farming. Build Corruption temples while farming T17/T16 Maps. Strand is really good for this, and difficulty can be scaled with deli if you are feeling confident.

T16 Harbinger. Good old reliable, mindless. Lots of clicking to pick up shards. City Square is good for this.


Getting a few levels would help you out alot and make swapping to a cluster jewel passive tree more viable. This is desirable because it will boost your damage and give you access to the Doryani leech node, which frees up the eldritch implicit on your gloves for lightning exposure (big dps boost)

This is my pob currently, I think i'm at a point where im satisfied with the build (170m DPS, 714k eHP, bleed/curse/ailment/stun immunity). To switch to Badge of the Bros and Ralakesh (which would give me about 220m+ DPS), I would have to re-craft my ring/gloves for +int, and likely switch out a flask to bismuth since im losing a suffix to Int. slightly lazy atm, but i might get to it eventually

Nice! Can get some easy incremental upgrades by working on corrupt implicits for uniques and upgrading eldritch implicits (maxing out lighting exposure tier is actually a pretty substantial dps boost)

Next big upgrade I would say is doing a mirror service Wand or Ring
