PoE Archmage builds without Hierophant

I usually don't follow through with POB to an entire build, just slap it in and see if it works and go play once I'm confident with it. This one, however, I built all the way to 85 in POB because I was couldn't really decide how 9 golem, voltaxic archmage max shock, big boom chaos burn fireballs would work. Let me know what you think, I'd like to play golems for second build, but if this won't work I'll go back to the drawing board. EDIT: (new one without the enemy ch

Here is a rough POB setup for frost bomb. A lot is missing and could be improved, but all things considered I don't think it is that bad... Gotta set up its defenses though if I want to use it. I am looking for general thoughts on it. I know it is missing a lot, I'm relatively new to making POBs so I still don't know where to add everything or how to make reasonable rares.

Could use Despair or Elemental Weakness. Despair will add a bit of extra chaos damage to the hit and might work better against bosses. Need to figure out how I will get multiple curses out. Witchfire Brew, Bane, Vixen's Entrapment are all options. Probably going with Witchfire Brew though. Could use Flame Wall as an additional damage skill. Support with high Spell Damage Multipliers. (Searing Bond used as a Place Holder) Hexblast Ignite Calculation Hexblast - Archmage - Burning Damage - Deadly Ailments - Ignite Proliferation - Added Lightning/Combustion Dark Pact is used to Simulate Hexblas

Replica maloneys would be an easy way to sustain fanaticism (if it counts as you attacking). Other ascendancy options did not get added so damage could change. &x200B; Here is a POB of a build that utilizes templar. It's expensive, but it also shows the potential. I only included battle mage by changing voltaxic rift damage to spells damage. If Replica Maloneys triggers fanatics, this would be an excellent option.

This is not the strongest build I've ever played, although it's honestly pretty decent for a total hipster build. If you're looking for a build that never dies and can obliterate A8 Sirus in seconds, this is not that. But if you're looking for a build that can do hard content without trivializing it, so that it still feels like an actual challenge, I recommend checking it out. Basically, this is a selfcast build using Unleash with Arc for clear and Ice Spear for single target. 10k ehp, Arc will blow up the entire screen and then some in one cast as long as you c

hi all, i've theorycrafted an hybrid between a BV hiero and a BV pathfinder and i would like to have some feedback on it. in particular these are my doubts: 1) dmg maybe low, but can't understand how to calculate it 2) phys mitigation kinda low 3) maybe the archmage/lightning conversion is a little bit too much here's the pastebin:

Is this viable for the end game? I'm currently just at the start of mapping, I think I have reached T4 and fought Baran once, but I want to respec this character into the build above, because I started to die way too often to my liking, so I adopted as much defensive layers I figured I can realistically do while still doing enough damage not to get stuck on each magic monster pack. This character currently runs pretty much all the same build, but with a different tree and different utility gem setups because initially I had a different build in mind before findi
