PoE Hierophant, League Starter builds without Heatshiver, The Ivory Tower

Yo guys, as many people have discovered, Hiero is very potent this patch for casters. I wanted to make a cheap-ish Sparker that is full league start viable. The main selling point is that unlike other early game sparkers, we have so much Damage that we can take both pierce and faster projectiles and still end up at 3.8Mil per projectile. On an inquis, you will not be able to do this in meaningful content early league so you will have very low projectile speed and very low pierce count (1 or 2 from gloves maximum). Let me know what

Posting Here as Well. Basically the interaction is this: When you take a hit with a 21/20 Petrified Blood, you take 60% upfront and 30% over 4 seconds. By taking a stunning hit with 30% Recoup (recover 30% of hit taken over 4 seconds), and a max-rolled Bloodnotch jewel (60% of hit recovered), you receive no damage from stunning hits. Taking the ES mastery which makes your Stun Threshold based on your ES and taking Agnostic to set your ES to 0, basically every hit stuns you. Therefore you are 'effectively' immune to hits. Adding the Immutable Force jewel (up to 1000% stun recov

First time making my own build and to be honest I have no clue if what I put together is a) playable and b) not complete dogpoop. Here is the PoB: Its very barebones. No Flasks, no uniques or special items, nothing ticked in config and the gems aren't filled out yet. It already has around 500k dps without using a second curse (allocated points in WoD just for reference) and without the vaal version. To me this seems pretty great but I have no clue if its actually playable. I am not set on hiero, just used it because I wanted to see what impact arcane surge

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

After some amount of math, the current "less" damage needed to see the unatatched damage is ~28%. This is meant to counteract the "more" damage multiplier from attatched hits that arma brand has. That being said, the extra 2 hits in single target that we get in due to our cast speed -will- have that damage. So, when calculating DPS, get the damage of the 2 attatched brands by disabling the configuration. Call this "A" Then, get the damage of the 7 unattatched brands by enabling it. Call this "B" Then, divide 1 by the brand recall cooldown time to get our effective cast rate. Call this "R"

Ever since the Timeless Jewel Chainbreaker Keystone rework last league (Grants 1 Rage regenerated for every 25 Mana Regeneration per second) I've wanted to make a mana-regen stacking character that takes advantage of nearly permanent berserk. This seems too challenging with available sources of flat mana per second, so mana stacking was the way I chose. Berserk favors attacks so Mind of the Council was a no brainer. However, not being able to regenerate mana because of Chainbreaker makes it hard to sustain typical Mind over Matter defenses, so I instead decided to make use of the Hiero
