Oh thanks for the quick reply! Back to arcanist brand then :) But btw the skill gem description says it works with a spell skill as well but we don't use one with those links.


I am not quite sure what you mean. Are you still referring to Cast on Crit?

Here is the Cast on Crit gem description from the WIKI (see below). Cast on Crit will not trigger on spell critical hits. It only triggers when a linked attack skill crits. This is why you will find many Cast on Crit builds usin Cyclone as it is an attack skill and every time it crits, then linked spell will then be cast.

====================

Cast on Critical Strike (commonly referred to as CoC) is a support gem that causes linked spells to trigger when the player critically strikes with a linked attack skill.


Hey Andy, I finally understood how the cast on crit works. Thanks for correcting my wrong understanding :)

BETTER TRADING FOLDER FOR MILITANT FAITH JEWEL

The folder contains 17 links. These filtered jewels don't break the nodes that we are primarily using inside its circle.

The filter contains jewel numbers, and which mods the jewels should have. It filters it like the reduced mana cost of skills mod is always on the jewel and one of the 4 mods is the second mod on it. These mods are:

-Regen mana per second
-All elemental resistant
-Area Damage
-Elemental Damage

You can always change the mods it filters, however I suggest you to not change the jewel numbers and increase the filter amount cause GGG limits the amount of stats that you can filter. And this is the reason why there are 17 links inside the folder.

You can check on youtube how to use better trading if you are not familiar with it but it's fairly easy to use. You just need to click import folder and paste the link down below.

@tufferugli can you pin my comment on first post when you have the time
Might not mean much, but I got all 4 voidstones last night for the first time using this build. I also did The Feared. Such a powerful build with such good defenses!

My latest PoB: https://pobb.in/_fn2ECFwE5Pl



I crafted this ring. Used Harvest 'Caster' craft to get Cast Speed, Lightning Dmg, and Life on a Fractured Mana base, and then crafted % Damage. Exalted Dex (!), which opens me up to reroll my belt.

Question for everyone without Mageblood: how good does Stormshroud feel? I think that's one of the next investments I can afford if I swap around my boots and/or jewels. Is it worth it?

Stormshroud without MB is a nice bit of QoL but comes at a pretty steep price as far as gear set up goes. In my experience with other builds that eventually run stormshroud its only really worth it if you're running sims, can't use brine king or can get it off an MB flask. I have been mashing 8 mod blue altar maps w/harvest and I've been taking the reflect ele ailments altars without fear and without it causing me many issues and I'm running a wrath sublime so its also reflecting sap back at me. Most of the time a fully set up soul of the brine king and soul of abberath is all the ele ailment handling you really need.
Yea I don't really have any open jewel slots for it at the moment. I'd have to path to another socket or drop something. Block cap feels pretty important.

I don't know how much currency do you have but crafting with essence at the beginning is almost always better.

-Cast speed essence till you hit desired suffix (mostly any t1 resistance)
-Suffixes cannot be changed and then using harvest to finish suffix (this can cost a lot)
-Its easier when you complete suffixes. Now you can use veiled orb. Suffixes cannot be changed again and then veiled orb.
-Unveil and craft last prefix.

I highly recommend using emulator feature on this website before crafting your item so you can simulate how it'll go.

Yesterday I was lucky with implicing Corrupted Blood mod. I chose Stormshroud because it was relatively cheap (~ 1.5d) and it took less than 30 tries.
And now I think build is pretty much complete. Perhaps like someone wrote earlier, rare bases should be es/ar or pure es, but it does not seems to harm. And they had open suffixes which helped me since pre-block transition to balance resis so I am a little attached to them :).

I gave up almost all manually activated skills, if you exclude Vaal ice nova there is only LMB for moving and RBM for casting.

Here is POB: https://pobb.in/FSVzpEEb3mRH

Additonally I have to say that this build in general seems to be able to utilize any number of skill points and jewel socket. In some other builds I played before, some last points were a little meh, do not do a lot, but not in that case :D

Yea I used both Harvest and Essences for my rare gear. I would go back and forth depending on what I have on hand, and I like Harvest during mapping so I had lots of that. And yea I usually use craftofexile if I’m unsure. I only have about 7 divs left so not really enough to burn on meta crafting unless I really need to. At this point, I’m basically chasing PoB numbers since the build is far more powerful than I need it to be haha

This is an absolutely beautiful version of the build! I love the Sublime Vision so much in your build, the SAP is amazing!

And the QOL of the wand looks wonderful!

Congrats on a fantastic version of the build.

Some comments/questions:

*One question I have is Prismatic Heart. Since you don't need the elemental resistances, is the 30% increased damage alone better than any other node on those large clusters?

*I may be missing it on the tree, but are you at 90% crit reduction? I can only locate two tattoos for crit reduction. In case this is only 90%, it looks like you have room for two more tattoos to make you crit immune if that is something you are interested in.

* Have you tried swapping 10% reduced Mana cost of skills for +1 to Intensity stacks? You may find you won't miss the reduced cost and the DPS boost is pretty good from Intensify at 4.

Still understanding how POB works though, i followed the config from the OP's build, but the DPS figure still looks kinda low hmm..


I'm not an expert, but here ya go: https://pobb.in/OHO9E3iYuHtH

here are some POB tips

* In the left hand panel, make sure the Main Skill is set to Ice Nova of Frostbolt




* In the skills window, enable Ice Nova of Frostbolts, disable Vaal Ice Nova, set the count to 8, and check the box that says Include in Full DPS...




* In the config window, set # of Inspiration charges to 3




* You will now see your full DPS in the left hand panel at the bottom



Super informative. Will try that out. Thank you!!
