PoE Hierophant, Shock Nova builds

Sharing my latest build and hoping someone will see some improvements that can be made. Galvanic field has some downsides: Low AOE and poor hit rate. We get around the AOE by slotting a Phantasmal GV into a Crest of Desire, and Scaling mana with Heirophant. This gives GV domes usually a couple of screens of area. The beams fire from the centre of the dome and dont go through walls or obsticles, so open maps work better. GV can fire 10 times per second but only hit the same enemy twice per second, and these cannot be sca

Hi, so I've been tinkering in PoB and figured out I will make use of new Shock Nova and Sanctuary of Thought having 25% MRE (since 15% MRE mastery was gutted), here's PoB: Perks of the build: ~5.5k life 84%/78% block with Glancing blows (overcap is useful for less block chance maps) Aegis Aurora with a good amount of ES ~30k armour before flasks Auras: Determination, Wrath, Tempest Shield, Vitality, Precision and Zealotry on Divine blessing (50% less mana cost of skills from Sanctuary of Thoughts, Tireless cluster and alternate qualities on I

This means mana stacking gives us both armour and energy shield. However, I couldn't figure out how to get reasonable damage out of the build... until this patch! The core of the build is to stack mana to get over 50k armour, to make maximum use of Molten Shell. Molten shell gets popped by atta

As far as I can tell, fanaticism is clunky and sucks... but the new manabond skill got me thinking that maybe it could be spammed to high heaven using fanatacism. The general premise is that you would play a character with like 10,000 mana and get 1500 base lightning for manabond when all your mana is gone and you use the skill. At this point it seems like you would use archmage... but what if you didn’t? What if you somehow got all your mana gone and then spammed the skill super fast with no mana cost at all? Enter fanaticism with guest appearances from inspiration and the Templar mana co
