[3.25] The Lazy Nova - Archmage MoM Crit Ice Nova of Frostbolts with Svalinn
|
Just wanted to update my progress on the build. Absolutely incredible, I have never beat Maven since the boss was released into the game and I can beat deathless on this build most the time. Speaking of, got extremely lucky and dropped Awakened Spell Echo and sold for 65 Div.
Here's my POB: https://pobb.in/dP88xTd0cWqk What I'd like to ask for is to help me determine the best route for upgrades. I know eventually a mageblood would be fantastic, but there are several other important upgrades that I think need to happen first. Some of the items for sure to upgrade: 1. Cap Chaos Res at 75% (need to make up 10% which can be done by upgrading boots with also upgrading 30%+ Movement Speed) 2. Capping Attack/Spell block via Jewels/Tattoos on tree Items I am stuck on which to upgrade next: 1. Large Cluster jewel with Doryani's and Scintillating Idea to get more jewels and watcher's eye (wrath/zealotry) ... this would require me to re-roll eldritch implicit to lightning exposure and then replace wave of conviction in shield 2. Wand Upgrade (Super expensive when I've looked for near perfect - 30 Div+) 3. Bottled Faith 4. Maxed Rumi's Concoction (1% upgrade to both block types) 5. Cloak of Defiance with Reduced Extra Damage from Crit Strikes / Would pair with a Svalinn with same corruption to get near 85% reduction from crit strikes However, I am open to any and all suggestions/feedback! |

Where can freeze immunity be slipped in to this build?
|
|
" Brine King Pantheon, or ailment immunity via Purity of Elements or Stormshroud |
|
|
What are you guys using or considering for the Anathema corruption?
|

" Thanks! I aprecciate that. Also you wanted map mods, wiped on this T17 just now (I even got a HH)  |

" Congrats on your progress!! * Please note for the wand, the end game wand you want to look for will have the Haunted by Tormented Spirits enchant on it. It is VERY expensive. * Your current rare ring does not have the implicit maxed out via a blessed orb. You can get 3% chaos res with that (or even more if you have not yet used resistance catalysts on the ring). Check ring and belt for quality catalysts. You may be able to cap chaos res with the gear you currently own already. * Add quality (life and mana) to your amulet * The POB posted listed a warning that you do not have enough Strength to run the build. I don't know if this s just a POB issue or not. You may have added one more tattoo than you can support with your current strength * I agree with all of your upgrade paths. I think the max crit reduction between shield and armor is 80% (50% from armor, and up to 30 on shield) and not 85%, but I may be wrong about this. * You have Frenzy charges enabled in the config, but I don't see a source of Frenzy charges in your build.... * Light Eater caps the ES leech. As such the suffix you have on your Silver Flask is not helping you. You can change that suffix to what ever else can help you (curse or shock mitigation may be useful) * You have a corrupted blood immunity jewel. You may be able to play with out the need for regular bleed immunity. If that feels true, you can change the life flask suffix to something else you may want or need Last edited by AndyLovesHisBge#5265 on Aug 25, 2024, 7:23:35 PM

" Did you get a chance to fix the numerous issues I saw in your build that needed attending before you could farm T17's deathless? As for this image...are you ailment immune? If not, the "Non-Damaging Ailments you inflict are reflected back to you" is a VERY bad mod. We inflict massive shock as a non damaging ailment. If that shock gets reflected back to you, you are going to be taking a massive up 50% more damage on yourself. That would be very hard to survive IMO.

" AHHH right, I just upgraded to that corrupted blood immunity jewel and completely forgot to remove that flask mod from life flask. Good eye on the ES leech on the other flask... For now, I am rocking Reduced Effect of Curses instead. Didn't even think about the catalysts part, will get those quality values up on everything (resistances, life/mana mods) The frenzy charges is a mis-click by me, I don't get frenzies as I am not running Cold Snap anymore... that should just be Power/Endurance charges. That's weird about the STR requirement showing invalid. I have nothing showing that I can't equip due to not having the strength requirements as I believe the reduced attribute requirements from amulet fix that. Just checked and you are right, you can get up to 80% reduced extra crit damage ... looking at both, for 79% reduced crit damage, is about 66 Div right now (30 for chest and 36 for cheapest Svalinn that has at least 25% reduced amount) I appreciate the feedback Andy! I'll work on getting clusters and all other stuff sorted over the rest of the night. |

" well basically monsters had 367% extra phys as elemental damage, insane attack/cast speed and always critted for 207% increased damage (iirc base crit for mobs is 130). on top of that you were always chilled and took 50% more damage because you were always shocked... the map had those https://poedb.tw/us/Tentacle_Fiend the wiki says that base damage for those at lvl 84 is 1,906 (phys) which become 6995 with all the extra phys as ele. if they critted this doubled and then augmented again by shock, for a grand total of 20k per hit 😅 |

" the damage is a little bit inflated from a number of things. it's more realistically around 190M https://pobb.in/z5_nRggPMWAF still impressive! Last edited by tufferugli#7301 on Aug 25, 2024, 7:38:34 PM
