(Stormweaver) Max projectiles cold converted fireballs. Cheap, easy, powerful, FUN! (T16+ ready)

I'm thinking that cast on freeze doesn't do much work on bosses, and so we can have a dedicated bossing setup that uses Whispers of Doom (easy to pick up on the tree), with blasphemy enfeeble or conductivity.

Then we hard cast hypothermia as usual.

Outside of 0 resist frozen target, bosses have full lightning resist against our significant lightning damage. This would be a way to get full benefit. A 20% blasphemy gem also gives a spirit discount, and for me it would be just enough to fit a 10 spirit clarity back into archmage for even more regen.

Will that work with the 190 spirit, or work because you personally have extra?

Sounds interesting though, although changing gems is a hassle and a half, definitely would be worth it for proper boss boss fights.

Made a maxroll of my variation (CI + MoM + EB). I know I know, it's weird, it's probably not good, but hey, it's what I'm enjoying and feel like works pretty well for what it's worth...I've also put a lot of time/effort into the skill tree not having to worry about ES nodes, giving you SO much more power/DPS.

If you enjoy more of a glass cannon and want to invest in something I truly think is quite reliable, it's not THAT much more expensive if you scour the market a bit.

looks fun

there is definitely a point where you can get the mana pool big enough to no longer worry about being 1 shotted through EB, while having enough regen to tank huge amounts of small damage chunks effortlessly

once you have confidence with boss mechanics and the right gear setup, EB is absolutely the way to totally obliterate this game

a lot of these bosses are so annoying that the real best defense is to single phase them before they can do anything, so there is a lot to be said for going max glass cannon

How much Mana do you currently get in this setup? It looks really interesting.

That's kind of my thoughts exactly. I've noticed if I just kill them quickly, I don't even need much defense, but having enough mana to tank bigger hits is going to generally be the issue now. Small mobs/low damage hits do literally nothing as the mobs either die to Arctic Armour or the damage is so low it just regens.

I'll keep going down the glass cannon build and see how far it can take me!

I was around 3900-4k, but then realized that I could get a lot more damage for dropping 200-300 mana that didn't seem to matter anyway as I'm glass cannon. So now I'm sitting around 3600-3700. My gear is all listed in set 2 to give you an idea of what you'd need in terms of ES/mana to get there. Fireball is currently @ 18k dps on the sheet. And with all the nodes that don't buff the damage directly, it makes it even crazier in terms of damage for fireball (and your other abilities too).

Currently having a lot of fun just blasting and killing everything in a couple fireball casts which fill the screen! Konfried definitely cooked with this build.

Any one knows whether Climate Change (Gain 25% of cold damage as fire on frozen target) actually works in this build? If I understand correctly it doesn't boost fireball damage since all its base damage is fire (not cold), and 'gain' doesn't interact with 'convert'. If I'm right, probably not worth taking this wheel.
Currently having issues with consistency in red maps and could use some help. Currently sitting at about 5500ES w/ 1500 mana. Resists capped, 62% chaos res. I wasn't able to directly attach the images to this post, so I just made an album of the 9 pictures here - https://ibb.co/album/WVH6D6

My stats are included as well, and the only thing not included is the unique belt/gloves, but I do have them well-rolled. I also have 4 of the mana jewels(30ex ea btw lmao)Switching to MoM feels far away. I can sustain clear but not hits to be specific. My mana pool is clearly low, I can replace my helmet, but would lose quite a bit of ES due to current market availability. Same problem with my focus, as I'd have to make concessions on a few rolls to get a reasonable price. Having issues with priorities at this phase of gearing.

I got stupidly lucky on the wand, bought it for 1ex, slammed hybrid spell on it. It would've been nice to have a larger mana roll, but the upgrade would cost me a fat sum for anything remotely close to what I have. I've also never off-screened rares at any point that I've noticed. Fundamentally my dmg feels off. I've got all the proj node as well. Can't replace my ring with resists for more cast speed until I figure out my other gear pieces. My fireball cast speed in hideout is .58s and cast per second is 1.72 atm. Tooltip dps 5300 which doesn't give the whole picture but figured it's easier to gauge where I'm at. Links are - arcane tempo/scatter/wildshards/inspiration.

Honestly not sure what move to make other then take a hit to my ES. Some clarity on what rolls to give up on would be nice, because I'm running low on currency after spending an extreme amount of exalts lol. My bad for the block of text, and thanks to anyone who takes the time to help me out.
