PoE 3.23 Affliction Lightning builds with custom stat filters

looks strong

Recently there was a post either on main sub or this sub where ventrua was showcasing that potential starters have generally low disparity and more things than we previously thought are competitive. Especially his take on LA deadeye with Determination stood out to me and I wanted to make a character based on that. Why/how this works: 1) you dont need insane amounts of armour to mitigate small hits very well, especially with small amounts of phys taken as elemental, endurance charges and enduring cry 2) You dont need insane amounts of evasion to evade 80+% of attacks, if you pair it with b

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

Pob with instant leech. Give alot of sustain for your ES-pool.

After a bit of tinkering, I think I found a decent league starting setup: Opted for Spark of Nova with a slightly higher damage effectiveness and better screen coverage. Swapped Storm call for Wave of Conviction to be my Unleash setup which applies a nice shock every 2.5 seconds and does okay damage on a pseudo 5-link. Also include a trigger wand and fiddled with skill duration so the tornado lasts almost exactly 8 seconds for smoother gameplay and less buttons. Overall happy with the current starter tree. Thanks for all the build advice!

A tanky and fast version of storm brand elementalist. I went for max block and max spell block, mixed with 10k+ energy shield. Storm brand of Indecision paired with awakened chain makes for amazing clear speed, while lightning conduit makes up a large amount of our single target. A very high cast speed with mixed lightning warp makes for very fast movement.
