PoE Instruments of Virtue builds

Can use lightning strike if don't want to use cyclone to stack instruments of zeal. Need to check to see if frenzy + hydrosphere works for stacking fanaticism and frenzy (because then that's bis imo) we don't want inc duration on arcane surge because it needs to be up every 4 seconds

How the heck does this build work? He takes Instruments of Virtue, but what spells does he ever cast that aren’t instant? His resists aren’t capped but takes very little elemental damage and his effective physical life pool is in the hundreds of thousands. I don’t get it. Physical max hit he can take is 190,753 according to POB

I have been trying to figure out if I want to make another character to try the self-chill berserker. I decided I wanted to try to make the build a spellcaster. It plays like BFBB, but with the insane movement and action speed from self-chill berserker. - 5k life, 2k ES and good damage w. block and duo-regen is the current strongpoints of the build. - It is a bit expensive with 6-link impulsa, but should make insane clearing with both Herald of Ash and shock proliferation. Do you think it will work, or am I missing something? EDIT: I was missing something,

PoB: I got inspired by another post which was talking about this concept, so here is an idea for league starting with Arma Brand and Fire Burst. Not very experienced crafter so I am not sure if the staff might be a bit hard to get with Fire Burst, but I think you can get this build going without Fire Burst at first.

I made a first draft of a HoT fire burst autobomber inquis: Build works by having storms gift shock corpses which keeps up HoT forever running through a map, and then fire burst is procced every 0.74 seconds (every 4-5 HoT procs). The fire burst pops a pack and it explodes with inpulsa/storms gift. For extra damage or single target you can set up any skill in the body armor 6l, for instance I have flame surge or purifying flame currently set up. I am running EE so I dont use spell echo, since HoT will be proccing EE for our fire burst or main damage spell. Unli

I was messing around in Ritual SSF for a fresh start and found [[Ngamahu's Flame]]. With decent damage, 60% phys to fire conversion and 20% fire pen, it seemed like a good fit for a phys spell battlemage build. In trying to figure out how to also take advantage of the axe's 20% chance to trigger Molten Burst, I discovered that it can trigger Cast on Crit. Molten Burst doesn't take a socket so it's functionally an extra link for CoC. Triggered Blade Fall with Spell Cascade creates an expected 7.5 blades per proc, which is a reasonably good fit for having Blade Blast trigger 1/5 of the time on a

I was wondering if Battlemage would scale well into the endgame, and I think I found a shell that has a lot of potential. Eternity Shroud pairs well with Inquisitor's Inevitable Judgment ignoring all elemental resistances, and allows you to add a lot of flat elemental damage in many slots without worrying about penetration or curses. Seems to reach 280m damage from a 20 stack Penance Brand with temporary buffs like Divergent Berserk, but still 100+ m without. The items seem quite feasible to craft now with Harvest, although probably really hard next league. I also included non-physical version
