PoE Hierophant, Nova builds

Hey all, Archmage has been stomped into the ground by GGG for a long time now, so here's a new twist/variant to it that I'm considering league-starting. Abyss Jewel Stacking Trinity Archmage. This is heavily based off of Jungroans Raider variant however with the nerfs to arcane surge it feels like you're almost obligated to take hierophant. What this build does differently from previous versions of archmage: Chill effect, frostbolt and ice nova with high cold damage scaling gives a strong defensive layer previously not had Recoup: with new recoup nodes added to the tree, it lets us ge

I dropped an ashes and wanted to create my own build for a while. Went with totems as I never played before. Main focus of the build is getting crit chance for the impale from the gloves and stack auras. Didnt like the new helmet much (sandstorm visage) so not using it. Current damage is 25mil with 2.45k life (petrified blood) and 2.3k es (from Corrupted soul). Build is expensive as I grabbed grand spectrums from another build + ashes and bottled faith. Other than that it doesnt take much to start it up. Managed to kill uber shaper, 85 uber elder, uber eater and uber exarch, taking all port

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

So far I I copied most of this from some easily available SW Totem builds, which are way, way too expensive though. The goal for this is a sub 5d char that excels at sanctums Basic concepts: Full cold convert, hrimsorrow rn, later might go veiled mod 35% phys to cold 40% Mastery +?? Heatshiver go hiero, get battle mage from forbidden jewels (way cheaper than getting +1 totems as an inq, that alone is 10 d at least) Use marohi+astral projector Go crit, its convinient with the the skills/path, but maybe I should go nc with hiero? (No idea) Creeping frost Totem for chill Arc brand/ass M

I am like in dire need of help... I don't know what to improve on next honestly. I can farm T16 maps slowly, but I still do get 1 shotted lol. I've seen people running Hex Master on PoENinja and some people don't even run Vitality or Determination. Can't fit Vitality in at the moment. I prioritized Determination over Vitality. LMK what you think.. TIA. Link to my POB:

Wanting to share my shockwave totem hierophant build. It feels incredible! I had a few problems recently that I solved, and this build is walking over sanctum and t16 juiced maps without issues. Sharing the PoB to hopefully both 1) solicit feedback to improve the build and 2) encourage others to try this build. This is by no means original (mathil loved it last league), but there are no build guides so I wanted to share: The build has defense: 90% armor with determination everything is chilled/frozen taunt from totems

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

I am planning my new league starter for 3.18. This is the current "best" one I could come up with, that shouldnt be too expensive to get close to.

2.7

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

A really fun build that i play every league since the introduction of the Astral Projector Ring It makes your nova skills automatically target closest enemy, wich makes Shockwave Totem a totally viable skill now! If you are like me, and your computer is shit, and want to enjoy a relatively safe build and looting items while your totems protect you? Then that's the build for you! It is not a league starter since you need the Astral Projector ring, but since they added the atlas passive, people get Metamoprh encounter more often, i seen
