Ball Lightning Archmage Elementalist Build Guide ~ Ultimatum PoE 3.14

I love building around mana but have avoided it for a while since archmage came out and has been a go to meta way to build characters. But as my last couple builds have flopped I found myself rather lacking on currency so wanted to play something that would be cheap and strong and archmage filled those needs as well as I missed building around mana. The build never struggled with any content and simply just rolled through the content due to the powerful nature of archmage. I can strongly recommend this build if you are looking for something powerful to take down hard poe content but keep in mind playing this build will cause you to lose any moral high ground you may have had previously against other meta poe players.

Expensive upgrades I do not recommend that are on my character: *alt quality vaal RF(I got this just vaaling my alt quality RF on the first try which was an extreme stroke of luck) I would recommend just getting regular vaal RF *Ball lightning extra proj enchant(other enchants should be more single target as well as cheaper)

Tips: *DONT use apex mode Jewel unless you have 6L with pinpoint support, other rare jewel will be better till then *test a greater spell echo setup with similar castspeed to test if its a build you would like playing because the lock down during cast is an awkward and not for everyone. *Anoint Mind drinker if on an extreme budget, and go for arcane capacitor as an upgrade when you can afford the gold oil
