(Stormweaver) Max projectiles cold converted fireballs. Cheap, easy, powerful, FUN! (T16+ ready)
" I don't think they're nerfing anything this patch. In fact, if anything, the shield got a buff because now we can swap magic find for mana sockets whenever we want. |

Guys. Any input for using elemental storm in this build?
Also does auto casting lightning elemental storm contribute to rising tempest gem? Thanks |

I'm expecting a nerf in this patch. GGG hates builds that fry their servers, and the fireball/frost wall interaction is likely making their CPUs melt.
Also, after playing pure cold to level 95 and then switching to this - wow. Well over 10x the strength of what I got working with pure cold skills. Fireball OP. The EB/MOM/CI interaction with a 30% Everlasting Gaze is busted... 8-10k effective health pool with crazy damage. Also, make sure you get your +3 fireball jewel when you can afford it. Search the trade site for "# to level of all # skills" with both min and max value set to 30.

I'm running EB and sitting at 4.1k mana, how do I get more? Got mana on all of my equips except my amulet and body armor. Socketed those 2% mana gems as well. Not sure how to get 5k+ mana on my current build and not sure what I'm missing? Ingenuity belt with Uber high mana breach rings?

" As far as I can tell, 5k+ mana requires the Mahuxotl's Machinations unique shield with a good roll and socketed mana soul cores (or I guess a dream fragments) for a big %mana boost And obviously a good roll ingenuity with two 170+ mana rings helps, but I don't think you can get to 5k+ with that alone The 352nd character to hit Level 100 in Standard The 82nd character to hit Delve 1000 in Standard Last edited by tackle70#1293 on Jan 15, 2025, 12:16:13 PM

Here's my current version of this build for reference, along with all my current gear (see notes for jewels):
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/hv9cz0n9 Medium-high gear investment (~50+ Div). 5.3k ES, 6k mana. Focuses on balancing DPS and survivability. Focuses on shock % and shock magnitude for damage, not crit. Crit is probably better, but I can't find/afford the gear, I can't figure out how to build crit except as pure glass canon, the crit passive tree doesn't work well without gear support, and I'm bored with crit cold sorceresses after years of playing crit cold sorc in PoE 1. Still testing but feels strong so far. Deletes most map bosses, feels very tanky. Does not delete T4 Breachlord but the fight doesn't take too long. Can get randomly 1-shot by some things (notably the copper citadel boss). Freeze and stun are sometimes problems in breaches in dangerous maps.

" I am able to get to 5.6k mana now without Mahuxotl's Machination, but I had to use Ingenuity belt with 75% roll. My rings have over 200 mana (with quality) each and one of them has 82% mana regen. |

" Are you getting lots of procs of cast on shock comet? Is it insta-proc on frost wall cast at bosses? |
|
" Cast on shock comet is mostly for breaches. Tons of procs there. Cast on shock frost wall was useless in breach because it procs so much that I was only getting one frost wall per cooldown and the cast on shock gem just sat there 100% charged doing nothing. Bosses get a couple comets on them but vast majority of damage is the frost wall --> fireball burst damage with a pair of 65% magnitude shocks. That usually nets a few million damage per burst. Haven't tested with Unleash yet - I really don't like Unleash's mechanics but it's possible it would burst bosses down more effectively. Not yet certain how optimal what I am doing is - still having fun experimenting.

Looks like Archmage survived this patch lol! Time to make that switch to cast on lightning!
