PoE Archmage, Physical builds without Hierophant, Indigon

Hello, Surgeon General here. It’s a week into Phrecia 2.0 – for the true believers that stuck it out after level 90, it might be time to start looking for an interesting build to try during our limited access to the alternate ascendancies. This is my experiment with a mechanic that can only realistically be made to work during Phrecia. The core gimmick of the build is to use some niche mechanics to get 100% uptime on the buff from Vaal Clarity – “your skills cost no mana.” With guaranteed uptime, you’re free to stack mana and use Archmage Support to add a large amount of flat damage to a hig

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
