PoE Arcane builds without Manabond

Please rip this build to shreds and tell me this is shit but below is a PoB I threw together for an Ice Nova build using new Archmage in a 5link Pledge of Hands. Gear is very, very basic and it seems fairly squish as a result but unless I'm missing something it seems like it should be pretty fun to lightning warp around, hitting ice nova and auto casting frost bolts and echoing more ice nova's for pretty good early mapping with minimal investment. Appreciate y'alls feedback

383k x 9 = 3,447 kk per combo rune blast cost = 282 mana/s cost of 9 improved runes to +3 = 135 ~2 combos per second = 6,89 kk you wouldn't be able to get this combo perfectly, so i assume ~5-6kk dps is more realistic. potential upgrades/switches Forbidden Flame/Flesh combo that gives Arcane Blessing Watcher's Eye with Spell suppresion and inc damage to enemies on consecrated ground

PoB: Character is lvl 81 so there is room for more. I also forgot to activate Righteous Fire on the video, so I was missing 40% more damage. Mapping is okay, not the kind of walking simulator you'd get with a RF Inquisitor, but it can do it. Core concept is not new, Indigon + Arcane cloak. The PoB is really far from min/max and the gear was around 7ex total.

Yo I made a build and am feeling too lazy to make a video for it. Here's the POB. it can do exarch/eater/sirus/maven/all invitations deathless. tanky and great aoe boss damage, clear isn't the best but it's not the worst. I think furthest I got in simulacrum was 26 or so, but ya know mod rng and stuff and I attempted a total of 2 I believe (I haven't played in a few weeks). Idk feel free to ask questions but I might not remember. no idea what the gear is worth, I think I made everything besides the boots. gl

So, I was watching Jaamon's channel on Youtube (good Youtuber, good builds in general, recommend this guy) and he put up a pretty solid rolling magma ignite build. I worked at it a bit based off his stuff and came with this idea of using stormbind + blackflame + Eber's unification + incandescent heart. It turned out pretty well, but only in theory. Just a note, I haven't played this at all. This is not a post to say "go play this build" or "this is going to be great in 3.17". None of the build is insanely pricey. Blackflame is like 2ex. IH 6 link is probably 2 ex. Matyr is like 40c. Most of

Buckle up, because this turned out long. TL;DR: I think there's a lot of potential here that people aren't exploring because the skill feels clunky at first. Since the start of this league, it's been my stubborn obsession to make Stormbind work well. I think I've done it (keyword think -- I don't play a ton). Here's a rough POB based off my own character but with some of the supports and gem levels idealized, though I haven't worked on itemization. I'm sure there is plenty of optimization to be done both there and on my passives. So far I've done up to T10
