PoE Archmage, Fire builds

Hi. This char started from me seeing new brands (armagedon brand of volatility + peneance brand of conduction) and thinking that you can do something funny with them. Big thing is very short and lack of duration that can be abused with brand mastery for big mana regen.Big mana regen is very useful for every arcane build. Kitavas thirst with 2 new brands + wintertide + swiftbrand support gave me enough sustain for MoM + Agnostic on t16 with otherwise trashy build. Char is a proof of the concept and prolly life version is not the way, but conept is proofed and i think its funny. Prolly

Just sharing a short footage of my last build since it turned out pretty great!

This guide has been a long time in coming. Some may remember my previous post, roughly outlining the mathematics behind sustaining Indigon's mana cost. I went back and formalized the mathematics behind it; if anyone is interested, I wrote it out in LaTeX and uploaded it here. But for those who didn't read over that post or are unaware of what "sustained Indigon" refers to, I'll do a quick overview. \---

For automod: This build is a dragon I've been chasing since failing to get Jungroan's doublecoc witch working because I was poor and skimped on all the important bits. This is it running like a headless chicken away from an all at once, ~150% quant Hidden. It's hard to pob the damage, but it's somewhere past 15m altogether I think. Build Fundamentally, this build uses a CWC forbidden rite to proc a CWDT forbidden rite, which then procs CWDT Desecrate/Unearth and a CWDT Volatile Dead. FR is just here to self harm. It's fully recoup based, rather than ward (atm

It's 147% now. Ed: I bunged up, I just now realise the Catarina mod only affects Support Gem Quality. This is bad. Sadly this mean 140% Quality can only be reached with a double implicit synth item with unveiled Gem Quality from Haku. Makes the Catarina mod pretty useless tbh, I will revise my crafting now, I have to think a bit about this. Sadge. Yet another ed: Some Gems can still go up to 149% in total with everything perfect, it's just that the Active Skill Gem needs to also have the Support Gem Tag (Predator for example). Any other Active Skill can only ever go to 141%, and those 2 last

Guard skill: Arcane Cloak is offensive, Immortal Call is defensive. If you get Jugg or maybe the Deflection node, End Charges should be easily supplied so IC's cost should be largely negligible. Archmage: Fireball used because of high damage effectiveness. Cast speed is bypassed via CWDT. AoE is unnecessary because this is a bossing setup (though adds might mess this up, but Fireball has a little AoE iirc). Discharge has the highest damage effectiveness and its threshold jewel (Endless Misery) changes its cooldown to CWDT's, but if the 60% less damage affects Archmage then

I usually don't follow through with POB to an entire build, just slap it in and see if it works and go play once I'm confident with it. This one, however, I built all the way to 85 in POB because I was couldn't really decide how 9 golem, voltaxic archmage max shock, big boom chaos burn fireballs would work. Let me know what you think, I'd like to play golems for second build, but if this won't work I'll go back to the drawing board. EDIT: (new one without the enemy ch
