[3.5] Indigon Life/MoM Mjolner done right (all content viable)

Rregarding any update: as of 3.6 Inquisitor version of this build is dead due to the mana regen nerf on Consecrated Ground (nerfed to the ground).

In 3.6 this build can be played as Hierophant without much of an isses assuming Legacy Indigon and If someone is intrested here's my final PoB Pastebin for it:

https://pastebin.com/v4XyGnKU

I dont recommend playing this build without legacy Indigon anymore due to the overall lower DPS than Inquisitor had. It can be done without a problem of course but simply there are just much better options now.


Firs of all I want to thank philophil and Doklol34 from my original Juggernaut life Mjolner thread for helping me out with this new Indigon version. Phil has allready a working Low Life / Life&MoM Pathfinder version of Mjolner so If u want that go ahead and check his guide.

Now if u dont know anything about the Mjolner pls check my original guide for life based Juggernaut: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1846362 which covers all the basics.


Changes in 3.5:

Finally!!! Jesus! Cooldown improvements on Mjolner! Now without any CDR (cooldown recovery) gear anyone can have 6 Discharges per sec. And 7-8 Discharge/s with CDR gear. So because I recommend to still use Discharge + Arc (much better clear speed, slightly better boss dmg than with just Discharge) please throw your shiny CDR belt into your stash and use something like:



This will enable superb movement speed and attack speed boost. Attack speed is key word in 3.5. We need ALOT. I would say bare minimium to aim with this build is now 4.9 APS. This belt + Inquisitor's Instruments of Virtue together with Berserking attack speed cluster will enable that. This way build can reach easilly 5 Discharges and Arcs per sec. Reaching 6 per sec on both will be a huge investment and requires impossible jewels. But something like 5.5 should be still possible.

This way attack speed will boost our DPS and also help with building (now nerfed) Indigon stacks faster.

Outside of attack speed adjustment no other changer are required in 3.5. Build is still kicking:

That said welcome to the new "done right" (TM) Mjolner guide:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------



This build abuses Indigon unique helmet mechanics which can drop only from Uber Elder and can be expensive at the begining of the league.


This build can be also done as Ranger/Pathfinder, Ranger/Raider, Templar/Hierophant, Marauder/Juggernaut.

However Templar/Inquisitor I found to be best suited class for this task, followed by Juggernaut, Pathfinder and Raider with Hiero at the end (dont bother).

So for any Jugg Mjolner followers there: yes you can transition into Indigon life/MoM Juggernaut from my life Juggernaut version quite easily.

In fact I created a 1 hour long video guide with in-depth explanation of Indigon mechanics and how to best abuse it, using Juggernaut Indigon version as an example.

After watching it I assure you - you'll be able to reproduce Indigon Mjolner on at least several other ascendancy classes:

Templar/Inquisitor version by me:

Final 3.5 updated PoB pastebin

3.5 "nerfed" Indigon stacks

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely must-have items:



Note: Corruptions are optional but they help greatly. Build will work with 5l chest but than u must use 2x Fevered Mind. Lab Enchant is also optional but very much needed for very end-game (Guardians, Shaper). Volls neck doesnt have to be "clean" but it helps with stats.

Note2: Build works perfectly fine with nerfed 20-25% Indigon without any legacy gear.

My gear used in the 3.4 Shaper kill vid (3.5 is the same except I used nerfed 22% Indigon):



The item I would strongly recommend to take over a standard CDR belt:



Permanent Onslaught grants us 20% attack speed and 20% movement speed. This helps a TON with mobility of the build as we no longer use Devoto's Devotion. High movement speed is also very important for Indigon stacking (watch the vid guide on Indigon mechanics for more info).

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Numbers to aim for with this build:

+ 4.9 - 5.5 attack speed with Cyclone with everything up (consecrated ground etc.)
+ 88% - 91% accuracy with Cyclone
+ 5k+ life pool in total
+ 3.8k+ total mana
+ 2.3k+ unreserved mana
+ 2k+ mana regen with all regen mechanics involved (Arcane Surge, 2% lab enchant, any bonus recovery from gear/Watchers Eye, Consecrated Ground)
+ no more than 35% MoM in total
+ 79% all ress capped before the charges
+ 100% - 130% movement speed with everything up
+ 60-75 mana cost of Cyclone before Indigon stacking
+ for Shaper: at least one "7-10% of Physical damage taken as fire/light/cold" be it on Watchers Eye or Shield corruption

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

What this build offer:

+ 0 legacy gear needed (will work in temp league)
+ 7k+ EHP pool thx to Mind over Matter (MoM)
+ very good elemental dmg mitigation
+ quite good physical dmg mitigation (can tank Shapers slams)
+ extremely good life and mana sustain (800 life regen, 2k mana regen, Kingsguard healing)
+ so its Tanky and safe to lvl

+ great mobility (high attack speed, high movement speed, Shield Charge, Leap Slam)
+ very high DPS (up to 750k vs Shaper)
+ very good clear speed (high mobility + 5-6 Arcs/s do wonders)
+ so its fast with high DPS

+ can do any map mods except: Ele reflect (no mana regen and blood magic are kinda pain in the ass thou)
+ can farm Guardians and Shaper quite reliable

Ascendancy order:



------------------------------------------------------------------

Bandits:

2 Passive points if u have Romiras with 15% all elemental resistance corruption, take Alira if u dont.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Gem setup:

6L chest (so 1x Fevered Mind): Cyclone - Faster Attacks - Fortify - Life Gaind on Hit - Ice bite/Inc AoE (but with inc AoE u need cold dmg to attacks on ring / jewel) - Empower

5l chest: drop Empower and u now must use 2x Fevered Mind to stay at 60-70 mana cost of Cyclone for Indigon to work (watch my Indigon in-depth vid guide for more info).

Curse: Warlord's Mark is a must be it either via CWDT - Warlord's Mark or CWDT - Blade Vortex - Curse on Hit - Warlord's Mark. Either way u need Warlord's Mark for mana leech. Lvl of Warlord's Mark doesnt matter - all you want is 2% mana leech.

Mobility: Shield Charge - Faster Attacks - Leap Slam (best in Saffels Frame)

Auras: Clarity is another must have for additional mana regen and for end-game stuff like Watchers Eye with additional mana recovery while under Clarity. I also recommend to use Purity of Elements to cover the resistances. Auras can be in 3l with Enlighten to lower the mana reserved and increase unreserved mana for MoM / Indigon mana burn.

Mjolner: Discharge - Arc - Controlled Destruction. Period. Arc is currently better than secound support hands down. CD is better than EF because this build can shock up to T16 Guardian.

Rest is up to you. There are some free gem slots so use what you want.

Build can run RF but it is an overkill. Deeps are allready high without it. I prefer to kill T16 Minotaur in just under 20sec mark safe and easy wihout RF than under 15sec mark but not neccesary safe and easy.

On switch:



Staff can be different. Now we have shit tons of mana so Arcane Surge can be lvl 20 in a 6l 2-h weapon. This is important as it grants both up to 20% more spell dmg and up to 1% of total mana regen per sec!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flask setup:

You need one good Mana flask and one good Movement flask like:



Rest is up to you. I use Atziri flask for additional chaos res and DPS and Wise Oak for DPS. Last flask slot can be another movement flask for better clear speed or utility flask aimed at specific content.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jewels:

Must have is at least one

Vs end-game a decent choice is also Watchers Eye wit 20%+ increased mana recovery while under clarity:



Rest is up to you. Spell dmg is not important anymore as we now have shit tons of spell dmg thx to Indigon. So use life + all resist + stats to cover your needs.

Reserved.

Started tinkering with this after reading your thoughts on it in your other thread and I'm loving it. Great guide and great build!

I'm just curious if it is viable to run consecrated path instead of cyclone with this build? I like cyclone, but am already running a cyclone build this patch, and would like to try CP instead.

Great guide. I got the 0.6% of damage leeched as life and mana if you've killed recently enchant on Inya's. Is that an acceptable substitution for the regen or not good?

CP would require a bit different build. Removing Elementam Equilibrium, going for Inevitable Jugdement. But than you will find yourself having lots of issues because of slow attack speed. CP cannot be supported with Multristrike, its "only" 8 mana cost at base so you will need to aim for at least 4.5 aps with it which will be really really hard to do. More than that, because going for Inevitable Judgement you will have to remove both Instruments of Virtue (25% attack speed) and Augury of Penitance (18% more DPS and 8% less ele dmg taken). Hard to do and not worth it.

The good thing is that you can now remove Warlords Mark and use a different curse (like Poachers Mark with +mana gained on hit). The bad thing is that 2% mana regen is superior to all of that. That said unless you plan seriours Shaper/Elder farming you will be fine. Build has a lot of mana regen without that 2% enchant.
