im wondering about the keystone that converts ES to mana and the impending doom support for curses since it rolls off your current mana, but i dont know enough about the numbers to know if thatd be good
@@bradd4983 yeah I know, but the new eldritch battery in poe 2 converts ES into mana and mana still protects his 1 HP with mind over matter. Theoretically converting all ES to mana would supercharge mana regen by just having a huge pool of mana and making the most of the force of will node. The downside would be mana tempest becomes even more risky so that's why I want to know how it feels compared to the ES version
@@arcon980 i mean u could try but if u have dual es and mana then ur mana will protect ur es while its recharging its probably only worth going until u have that one amulet that converts es to mana cause of the way conversion works you end up with a bunch more mana and then 20-30% es of whatever mana u have
i started mana stacker too. on maps right now, and the build seems impossible to scale. there are almost no mana nodes on the tree. maybe ggg just doesnt want mana stackers to exist anymore.
Go for ES increases, and then take Eldritch Battery? With MoM taking 100% of the damage, even with 1hp, you should be protected from damage until your mana is expended
@daethe es is converted to mana before it's multiplied, currently. Survivability isn't too bad, I have the armor that converts 10% of your mana to hp per second. I just don't see any way to push my mana hard enough to make arc archmage work. Also I think arc + chain isn't applying to more multiplier correctly.
@@daethe or... go back to hardcore with the rest of the minority of players. at least just don't discourage people from wanting to make hyper offensive builds that have 1 or 2 defensive layers. People don't have to play the way you do and for some people, less defences are part of their power fantasy.
definitely not worth it, it's way too much of a damage loss for the extra chain, it only just breaks even if you have 5 total arc chains but is kind of a waste of a link even then I would use Cont Dest, Unleash, Arcane Tempo
My guess is that the downside of chain (50% less damage) and the conditional (10% more damage per remaining chain) are not additive. E.g. No chain support: 4 chains 100 dps = 140dps initial hit. Chain support: 8 chains, 50 dps = 90 dps, instead of the 80-50 = 130 dps. But super hard to test due to the huge dmg ranges of lightning.
@@nilseckervogt5921 I'm not PoE expert, but remaining chains if you have 4 as base are 3, 'couse 1st is used to hit target for single target. Or I'm mistaken? Regarding arc dmg I'm also have feeling that sometimes it just shreads and sometimes just tickels mobs :/
lol, funny because I spent the entire campaign unable to decide between arc and spark... I still have them both.
i kinda feel that is actually good since you can spam spark till arc builds up unleash its acutally viable in my opion
Or you could just cast on shock and never have to worry about casting both lol.
I got Call of The Brotherhood to drop and have zero clue what to do with it. It converts all lightning to cold…
I guess this is the thing to do now with stormweaver after they threw all the Cast On builds in the garbage.
looks that way
does enegy barrier work with mana tempest for sure? so you count as using while in there? :O
What nodes do I have to hit to turn my life to ES? i respseced ran out of gold so not sure.
There is a node that makes flask effect energy shield instead of lifef

any reason no one picks crit chance in the passive tree?
have you tried eldritch battery with this? if so how does that feel with this as opposed to using the ES?
hes using CI

Why not Eldritch Battery?
Eternal Youth? It's a skill in the tree that lets you use your life flask as ES flask instead. Why don't you put 6 points from CI and get it?
currently running a crossbow monk with galvanic Shards and Plasma Blast. Compleatly shreds everything
This is what I wanna try with cast on crit comet 🥰 you think it’s possible ?
I’m leveling a plasma blast/snipe bleed blood mage atm.
I want MOM but that 50% reduced recovery of mana is painful!
why bonus 2 curse when you use only one plz?

you need to take EB and abuse everlasting gaze amulet to scale your ES. The build has insane scaling

@MyNameIsSalo yeah I saw a video earlier, guy had 13k es, and scaled cast speed instead with just 3k mana. Sadge can have 13k mana
@@MyNameIsSalo only problem is that amulet is worth like 60 ex xddd
Yeah. That one-death mechanic for maps is really bad for softcore.
not really, stop building a zero layer defense character

I think ggg has a lot to do to make the game good we have been playing poe1 for years so people are going to have a hard time to get used to it
No buildguide link? damn..
Cast on spark completely nerfed this to the ground right?
YEP
Why not use the unique helm with 100% mana regen
Support Chain nerfs damage by 50% is it worth it? :\

Arc is bugged for me extra damage per remaining chain isnt working, Anyone else notice that?

Im using spark and arc.
Often, I get no dmg on arc sometime, no dmg on chains after.

Grim Feast spirit skill from the witch might help with ES upkeep, if you can find 30 extra spirit on gear
Mana remnants should be better in this case i think. More netto points and can be used for cast/survive.
@@alesholy785 mana remnants suck has a 2sec cd
pob? 😂
