Previous Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1irmdu7/exploring_100_mom_builds_archmage_ball_lightning/

main changes: higher crit, crafted new gloves, crafted new scepter, crafted new ring (doubled the damage)

Build Concept:

Divine Flesh and CI gives 50% less ele dmg taken and no chaos dmg taken. EB with ES leech counters the Archmage mana cost. Ball Lightning of Orbiting takes advantage of the AoE from Hierophant to hit the target during most of its duration. As a duration skill so it deals damage over a period of time after a cast. Scaling Arcane Surge for more dmg, cast speed and regen.

Pros:

- Tanky: CI + DV, mana regen and recoup, chaos immunity

- High dmg (80+M pinnacle dps)

- ES leech for casting sustain

- 1 Life

Cons:

- Physical damage: requires bleed and CB immunity but high phys dmg remains a weakness

- Stun threshold: either immunity or pantheon

- BLoO is very annoying in most closed spaces

PoB: https://pobb.in/ErDHU1Goz8cD

Notes: the tanky version didn't export. I drop the High Voltage cluster for the Nomadic Teachings cluster for 88% max ele res and use a Malachai's Loop with Phys taken as Chaos implicit.

Mind over Matter:

To get to 100% MoM: 40% keystone, 21% body armour, 11% Aylardex (11 PC), 10% Hierophant, 10% watch's eye, 5% helmet, 3% TWWT. There are other setups for getting 100% (mainly PC rings).

Damage:

The main sources of dmg are Archmage, Arcane Surge, Crit, Power Charges and Curses. Crit also guarantees inflicting shock. Secondary dmg sources are shock, unnerve, exposure, and sigil of power.

Crit changes: Assassin's Mark and Frost Shield

Curse setup: Arcanist brand to cast Elemental Weakness, Conductivity and Assassin's Mark.

Burst Dmg: Arcane Cloak (60% uptime with automation), vaal RF

Defenses:

The main defenses are DF + CI, ailment immunity, max resistances, recoup and regen. Minor sources are phys taken as and Endurance charges.

For recovery: mana regen, mana recoup, mana recovery on skill use, mana recovery on curse.

Conclusion

Very fun build, Frostblink with spell echo is wild. 10/10 damage, 8/10 defenses, 10/10 meme

Next Build: Archmage Blade Blast (and testing phys spells)

Please share any other builds ideas with 100% MoM, I'm always looking to explore more ideas. Cheers!
