(Stormweaver) Max projectiles cold converted fireballs. Cheap, easy, powerful, FUN! (T16+ ready)

That's my plan exactly. I actually really like this build you've crafted a lot, and I'm so happy you've followed up with it in the past weeks to help people like myself and others.

Thanks again, Happy Holidays to you, Kon and all the exiles following the build!

You too. I'm happy lots of people are having fun with the build, I've been totally obsessed with this game and super satisfied with the gameplay.

I'll be honest though, I was surprised to see fireball scale this well after the 'nerf'. I thought for sure I was going to hit a real wall, but I just kept going and going and it kept working. That's the power of raw overlapping damage, I suppose.

I normally play Whispering Ice on Poe1 and this somehow has a similar feel, except it also has clearing speed.

Getting real sick of failing to get Ascendancy 3 because of the unstable servers though, can't believe it's even worse than Lab lol

Most fun I've had in PoE for a while, I love cheap and effective builds.

Thanks for the great build OP, I was playing pure cold and was able to swap into this for under 10ex. Seems to work great, clears very smoothly, but unfortunately my PC can't handle it...

How do you guys get so much es and mana?

I only have 2.6k es and 1.6k mana right now.

And i always out of mana even without archmage.

Im using the MoM setup.

actually I dont think cotb works to convert archmage damage...


so much for that

it seems that conversion does not affect 'spells gain x' effects. A 27 ex mistake.

If you have mana issues then drop MoM and fix them. Once you fix your mana then switch back.

Attach 'inspiration' to your fireball. Around level 85 with MoM I had 250 mana regen while moving. At 91 I have 280. With a bit of gear swapping I can get it up to 300.

You need to try and get 'increased mana regeneration rate' on your gear and jewels, and of course the passive tree. Once you're around 300/330, you can probably switch back to MoM and use inspiration, or play conservatively.

You should try to get mana on every piece of gear that can hold it, also. That's just the nature of MoM builds. It's extremely strong (probably overpowered) in poe2 due to 100% absorb, so we only benefit from having more of it.

The more mana you have, the larger its recharge rate is.

Neither can my laptop. I 'fixed' it somewhat by downscaling one step in resolution, turning down all the 'lights' (fireball projectiles create their own lighting if you dont turn it down all the way) and turned on "Dynamic Culling", which culls particle effects down massively.

Sure the spell effects may look like torchlight now, but at least its smooth.

Yes,totally having fun. I've yet to chime in but been following since you made the "bones" of it when it was on page 1.

Energy Shield on gear is how I get most of mine, you get a deceptive amount from it. Because of all the energy shield increases from the tree, 200 on a piece of gear is actually like 1500 shield

If you're running out of mana and still have Unleash in your fireball setup, then move it out.

Also are you running out of mana because of spells, or because you're taking damage so MoM is eating it all? And do you have the Midnight Braid unique belt? It recoups 50% of damage taken as mana, which is very important for MoM builds.
