PoE Orb builds without Void Battery

A couple of weeks ago I saw this showcase and was immediately hooked. I ended up changing quite a bit and this is the result of how far I could push it. There are still some things that could be done for minmaxing (-cold res helmet, +4 gloves, some other small things) but I think I'll leave it as is for the time being. pob and character profile for those interested: /edit sorry for t

PoB: This build uses Kinetic Blast to Cast on Crit Dark Pact + Chain. I threw this together since I got a minion life relic and always collect CoC poison gear for fun to try stuff. The idea is that KB might sometimes look like a real CoC skill if you chain it off a Tornado. We create Tornadoes and skeletons using Poet's Pen. This build slapped way harder than I expected when I equipped it, so I thought I'd share. I'm wearing literal random gear. The core of the build can be considered poet's pen + watcher's eye + rings.

I just wanted to post about my build idea and tested since I think its really cool. I've tested Hydrosphere with spell echo and can confirm that the final repeat does have a 100% crit chance and when using it with greater spell echo it also inherits the extra aoe and more damage multiplier. Scion Archmage: This is a (not that good) pob for an archmage scion that I used the interaction with. I stacked cast speed to make the build be able to clear maps a bit more smoothly but its strength is definitely in bossing. I defensive laye

EO on chest bcs I have it on relic. :)

PoB: Tldr; The build uses MoM and mana as the main mechanics. Defenses include Petrified Blood, recoup and block. By stacking Megalomaniacs, the build achieves high mana regen. I tried to explain the mechanics used but the post isn't a complete so don't hesitate if you have any questions.

POB: The video is a T16 Dunes just alch n go. I couldn't decide on whether to start with shockwave totems or the hydrosphere Occultist so I decided to make a bad build that combines them both. Surprisingly, it has gotten me to endgame pretty smoothly and can take down pinnacle bosses. Uploading a video because a few people requested one. Edit: Note on a cool interaction, on-kill effects work with hydrosphere even though it's a totem build (bug?). At the cost of +1 totems from ancestral bond you can make it into a explosion build.

This build is only good for mapping wanted to try winter orb since I never go to play it during Synth.

Rambling follows: I've been wanting to run a non-crit lightning build as long as I've been aware of the mastery, but never managed to make a decent enough PoB. I always end up all over the place. I'm excited for the new lightning skills and the trickster rework. Everytime I'm tinkering with lightning builds I'm kinda lost on the main skill even. I'd like to get power out of Orb of Storms, so I'd like a skill that I can spam, but I feel they're all clunky one way or other. And I feel like I'm missing some tricks to get dps up anyway. I'm not looking to make a build that can faceroll ubers, but

Since there is probably like no one playing this i just to want to leave this here in case anyone is interested in an off meta build: This is no overly optimized Build but just my own Character I played in the Archnemesis League. In that league i completed 36 Challenges with it. After that i took a break for the last league. It currently makes use of petrified blood for the overleech and for life regeneration to have a bigger impact as well as to increase the damage through pain attunement on Skin of the Lords to save the passive
