PoE Sire of Shards builds

Hey guys, I put together a pure Spectre build with the new Forged Frostbearer. I discovered that with Sire of Shards & Greater Volley, the Frostbearers still shoot all projectiles straight forward. It's honestly been a blast in t16 maps. With all the projectiles & cast speed, they actually have really good clear. Tree is no way finalized and optimized but damn this is probably my favorite build in recent years.

What do you guys think about this build theory of mine? The main goal and idea with this build is to be relatively easy to build and acquire even in solo self found. To summarize: Hybrid life and energy shield Utilizing both new chaos damage mitigation masteries that will be available with 3.21 55% Low Life with petrified blood Inquisitor Really good sustainability and regen Good damage mitigation and effective hit pool Cremation in Sire of Shards (36 projectiles per second, or 48 with lab enchant) Some additional experimental thoughts/potential

This was my build for Sanctum, but reading through the patch notes I see no HUGE reason why this build shouldn't work well in 3.21 (RIP arcane surge, as well as regain mana after every 5th cast and 3% of mana as es masteries). This build focuses on a very spicy interaction that I'm almost certain has been used before, but I can't seem to find any builds using it on PoE ninja. In short, we get our mana costs as high as possible using archmage, and then we take 400% of that mana cost as physical damage with scold's bridle. The hit damage for this is going to be pretty high (6-8k) so we mitigate

So... I tried a fireball CwC nimis build, but didnt like how it played (had to stay on top of boss for damage, felt squishy and could not reach the level of damage I saw in the video etc.). On console, it is quite hard to trade for OP items unless your shit rich, so I decided to scrap the build. But, before starting to sell off all the gear, I decided, hey, lets try to respec into spark CwC. Just to see the glory of a thousand electrospiders fill the screen. And what do you know, it works pretty good! Never tried self cast spark, and I bet its better dps, but its pretty chill to just cyclone

CoC Blazing Salvo in weapon swap for faster single target Done everything except Uber Sirus, Uber Maven and Uber Searing. I'm just too bad at those fights, the normal versions are a joke. I would like to test the single target from Rolling Magma with Nimis but damn, that thing is expensive.. pretty beefy Mino with 96&37; more life and deli
