1. 100% MOM with Volatile vaal orbed Foulborn Mind of the Council
- Using new volatile vaal orb can increase foulborn mind of the council's before life mods.
30~37% of Lightning Damage is taken from Mana before Life
30~37% of Physical Damage is taken from Mana before Life
- If those mods are both higher than 30%, it means you can have less power charges. (For Aylardex mom stat)
(and yes you can go for +1 corrupted implicit instead and stack some power charges. but i didn't because of aylardex's anti synergy with crit)
- If those mods are both higher than 35% or even 35%, for Hierophant you don't need any further investment into power charges. just grab 1 minimum power charge and you're done for MOM.
Chaos damage = immune
Ele and Phys damage
- 40% from MOM keystone
- 10% from Hierophant ascendency
- 10% from Watcher's eye
- 35% from Foulborn Mind of the council (volatile vaal orb)
- 5% from Aylardex (5 Power charges, 4 minimum from hierophant, +1 minimum power charge from ring suffix mode or passive tree's node)
2. 101% ele conversion viable with volatile vaal orbed Font of Thunder
- It seems there's known bug that if you just convert fire/cold damage into lightning/chaos just 100%, there can be some sudden death in certain circumstances
- So last league people had to use purity of lightning and its watcher's mod(11% conversion). which means you should sacrifice body armour slot(foulborn inpulsa gives u free purity of lightning), or reserve your mana(which means less life pool).
- However this league you can volatile vaal orb Font of Thunder. So you can get
41+% of fire damage taken as lightning damage
41+% of cold damage taken as lightning damage
- With Bound of Destiny 4 Hunter mod, "10% of elemental damage taken as chaos damage"
- and Divine Flesh mod, 50% of elemental damage taken as chaos damage
- you can achieve 101+% ele conversion.
- with this, I am just using clarity and its sublime vision. Also I can use lightning coil for phys mitigation.
3. Some choices I made with my build
- I think if you have good Archmage character, you don't really have to play this build. If you are interested in this kinda mechanism, just try it for fun.
- This build has relatively high maximum hit pool, but lacks further hit avodiance stuff like block, which is weakness.
- I personally volatile vaal orbed my helmet (35/35+). It took like 30divish attempt. (I have good watcher's eye which I bought for 50 div, I think it was lucky. )
- Phys mitigation is a thing you should consider playing this archetype. (already very strong against ele damage)
in my case i took
50% of phys damage taken as lightning (yes it can go up to 61% with volatile vaal orb)
5 endurance charges (+1 from boots corrupt implicit)
10 phys reduction from adrenaline
My ES is always full except brief frost shield moment. So i can use 10% less phys taken mastery.
- Replica nebulis outperform any weapon in damage but lacks flat mana. good rare wand with flat mana will give you better hit pool. I usually use just rare wand.
- You can easily handle Annihillation's approach's fire dot damage. because this archetype is very strong against ele damage.
- I used perma vaal clarity tech to solve archmage mana problem. it last like 25 seconds and you should check whether its up or not. It it quite annoying honestly. Somehow I settled with this. You can also handle Vaal temptation support dot damage.
(you can use foulborn kalisa gloves and EB for mana problem, I think it can be a better choice but perma spamming skill also feels good)
- Overloaded intensity is very overpowered support gem I think. With minimum investment, you can have good crit chance.
- Considered using anathema, but I think it is very annoying to apply curses and kinda POB warrior stuff.
