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

After all this time playing this wonderful build I finally found a VERY good use for Vaal Ice Nova. Up to this point it was mostly useless.

In my current strat, I cast it ~6 times a map and it is obliterating my screen (and my poor graphics card lol).

At what level is it worth considering switching to the cluster setup?

I just hit 95 but I'm still lacking some of the bigger pieces of the build like Bottled Faith and The Light of Meaning. Should I prioritize getting those before I start looking at a cluster setup?


Hey so I was in the same place a few days ago. For me personally, I prioritized Large Cluster at level 95 and then just used healthy mind and sulphur flask until I was able to afford bottled faith and Light of Meaning. For the sulphur flask, I just had critical strike chance rolled on it and chance to gain charges on crit strike. That allowed me to re-roll one of the eldritch implicit on my gloves from lightning damage leech to lighting exposure on hit... which also allowed me to remove wave of conviction on shield.
Played around in PoB with mageblood vs HH.

Mageblood gets me +10% DPS wise, plus all the movement speed and increased rarity from the golden flask, which is a nice bonus. I lose a bit of health though. I also get my resists a bit over the top, so next would be to optimize the items a bit, like gloves/boots/rings, by going full DPS on them and use a bismuth flask instead of the golden one.

I still need to get one of the jewels with corrupted blood immunity due to losing the life flask.

Now the next part is trying to cap block cause I'm droping the Rumi's. Even droping one jewel for a Replica Reckless Defence, I'm still at 84/87 block chance. Not sure where to find the rest.

By using the Impossible Escape jewel, he would have access to Sanctuary. That may help him get over the top for Spell Block.

It looks really good. Here are a couple of comments

1) Put this in your custom config. This will give you a more realistic look at damage when using Punishment

#Punishment averaged out for low life and non low life
60% Reduced Punishment Curse Effect


2) The stat on Watchers Eye that leeches ES with Wrath does not do anything because we cap ES leech with Light Eater. You don't need to change this as the other Wrath mod is very good.

That is interesting.

You are effectively trading 3 tree points but gaining the option of not having to worry about spending affixes on life or chaos res.

And then swapped out Cloak for a rare and grabbed MOM on tree.

I like the rare chest, that Focus mod is very interesting.

Seems like it should be very tanky.

Are you playing with this now or was this just theory craft?
