PoE Archmage, Cold builds

Hi, 1. sorry, video is explained in Chinese but you can find most info in POB. 2. Is it becuase of player's skill(predict uber's attack and positioning correctly or is it really a cheapest/high dps/high defense build)? No all uber fights are showed in video. 3. Anyway, Zizaran recommended this build and I already get some items(gem, kitiva's thirst zealot helmet, doedre's daming paul ring) and will give it a try. Share for casual playe

Hey all, Archmage has been stomped into the ground by GGG for a long time now, so here's a new twist/variant to it that I'm considering league-starting. Abyss Jewel Stacking Trinity Archmage. This is heavily based off of Jungroans Raider variant however with the nerfs to arcane surge it feels like you're almost obligated to take hierophant. What this build does differently from previous versions of archmage: Chill effect, frostbolt and ice nova with high cold damage scaling gives a strong defensive layer previously not had Recoup: with new recoup nodes added to the tree, it lets us ge

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

Hello, I want to have some feedback about my SSFHC Elementalist build that I want to play, \~500k DPS FULL uptime with 0 investment (more with Flame Surge burning ground) Defensive layer (note that it's lvl 85) : 4k5 LIFE; 1k5 ES; 9k EVA; Ghost Dance; 3k8 mana MoM; Arcane Cloak and obviously the Chill.

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

This is what ive landed on thus far! big cast speed so im not locked in place for an eternity casting. MoM, agnostic and Acro/Phase Acro for defensive layers. Im very open to suggestions! sorta came to me while i was just sitting here. Pick away at the build!

After torturing myself with possibly the most clunky earthshatter slam build last league, I've decided to return to the good ol' Cyclone CoC archetype. Mostly inspired by this build ( and the relative juiciness of PF TR to league start post-patch, Pathfinder looks like an overall top-tier class in which to invest. ​ Obviously, this endgame min-maxed PoB will still be able to do all content with ~200m DPS, but the question is whether a mid-range build that transitions from TR at 20-30 ex investment will suffice for elder/shaper guardians and above. The build ad

Here is a rough POB setup for frost bomb. A lot is missing and could be improved, but all things considered I don't think it is that bad... Gotta set up its defenses though if I want to use it. I am looking for general thoughts on it. I know it is missing a lot, I'm relatively new to making POBs so I still don't know where to add everything or how to make reasonable rares.

This is not the strongest build I've ever played, although it's honestly pretty decent for a total hipster build. If you're looking for a build that never dies and can obliterate A8 Sirus in seconds, this is not that. But if you're looking for a build that can do hard content without trivializing it, so that it still feels like an actual challenge, I recommend checking it out. Basically, this is a selfcast build using Unleash with Arc for clear and Ice Spear for single target. 10k ehp, Arc will blow up the entire screen and then some in one cast as long as you c
