CHANGES + NOTES FOR 3.25 ARCHMAGE BUILDS INSPIRATION IS NOW A LESS MULTIPLIER (this is a nerf, reduced was a lot better for making the mana cost lower) -This means we will scale less cast speed early, and go for reduced mana cost crafts on rings now ENDURANCE CHARGES ARE A LOT BETTER (this is a big BUFF) -Endurance charges now gain 4% reduced elemental damage taken on top of the physical -Hiero gets 4 min charges baseline from the tree, possibly worth getting a 5th one on the tree (you'd need 1 min endurance craft or annoint Unyielding) ^xAF6

Important notes Mana regen % anywhere you can get it from is really really good - start with clarity and replace it with herald of thunder once you get enough mana regen Gloves w/ spell damage leeched as ES are a huge survivability boost. Surgeons prefix on flasks is stupidly OP (we have 100% crit chance and fast cast speed so this is insanely good for us and gives the flasks massive uptime on bossfights)
