PoE Atziri's Foible, Hierophant builds

Thoughts Pros \-Decent Damage/Clear \-Very good EHP (Block) \-Simple gear choices (Uniques everywhere lol) \-Budget 10ish ex? Clusters easy to craft. Watchers Eye 2ex Cons \-Chaos bosses can kill you if not careful \-Slow ES sustain, if a lot of damage goes through block you die \-Low physical Resistance, can be one shotted by big phys hits. \-DPS listed is not accurate, probably more like 25-40% less depending on Manapool, easily stays below 50% though.

Since the damage on manabond is based on current mana, not mana spent, I've theorycrafted a hiero build based on reducing mana cost of skills as much as possible, which should allow us to control the AOE/damage by controlling our mana. With 9k mana and Pledge, Manabond will cost 4000 mana without any reduced costs. Using inspiration, reduced mana nodes on the tree, jewels, and flask, we can reach 100% reduce mana cost (might be optimal to have at 80-95% reduced though). Mana can be easily restored to full for AOE/MoM purposes using a mana flask (as it doesn't nec

tldr: molten shell go boom for \~2M dps, generally invincible, and maximum jank I discovered an interesting interaction with Power of Purpose (PoP) awhile back, namely that any "Gain maximum mana as extra maximum energy shield" modifiers actually use the pre-conversion maximum mana (verified in game). This means mana stacking gives us both armour and energy shield. However, I couldn't figure out how to get reasonable damage out of the build... until this patch! The core of the build is to stack mana to get over 50k armour, to make maximum use of Molten Shell. Molten shell gets popped by atta

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

TL;TR 100% lightning to chaos with phantasmal spark and voltaxic rift, hierophant mana based build with archmage, 50-60% MoM, agnostic, lots of mana regen, lots of fun. Pros: high eHP (8.7k), high life & mana regen, 100% chaos damage Cons: prone to oneshots (low life pool), res hungry (cuz of uniques) &x200B; I didn't play (vaal) valtaxic spark when it was popular (some time ago) so I decided to try to make one now that it isn't as powerful/viable (I'm smort). First, phantasmal spark gives 40% lightning to chaos conversion, combined with Voltaxic rift you get 100% lightning to

Been kicking around the idea Hierophants a lot in the past few months, but haven't really had anything spark yet. I'm liking this idea, and certainly have the funds to make it (the cluster jewels don't look like they'll be too pricey, and I've got most of the gear sorted). I look forward to when my connection to the servers isn't being shite, so I can get this character rolling (That AoE is going to feel juicy)
