Good stuff. Prior to very late-game, EO is the play. Even with power charges. It just helps with EO uptime. It's difficult to build an arcmage/mana stacking build into crit. So your early game is missing the 40% dmg buff from EO. Otherwise, I see a Flies build I press the thumbs up. Keep it going.
Good stuff and good suggestions, I checked the amount of crit you have after first lab and its about 30% so it not as good as EO but pretty close looking at the charts. Also, thanks!
So, what did you think of the changes? Also, what are you planning to start with? One thing that I forgot to mention is lightning and shock resistant mobs are horrible to kill.... :) Looks like leveling this wouldn't change a lot, but all alt qual gems could be a rather big change in endgame. But then again, we don't know all the new variants we are getting.
First I got hyped with the trailer. Then did saw the homepage to Affliction, got more hyped. Then read patch notes and the hype did die a bit. The quality changes to gem are good and bad. Poison BV is prob a huge winner with the quality change. Divine ire seems to be a beast now? And then there is the loss for minions with their movespeed gone from quality. But meh. The trans gem or whatever we call them seem interesting. But my guess is that out of those 100 ones there will be 20 interesting ones which is still a lot.
Like! It's actually my starter! But i think eo is better cos you can invest more points in mana and damage. Also i put arrogance+clarity+vitality+mom, it provides you more survivability, later you can take es leech which also helps a lot
@@Fliesssthere's actually noone who's doing early map/midgame showcase for Arc Archmage Hiero. All guides only show leveling gear and/or super late endgame gear.....Not 1 guide who's showcasing the gear inbetween. ^^ Would be nice if you could make a yellow-red map POB for midgame gear suggestions....thanks a lot. 🙂
I'm currently working on this build and have a question. If I use the righteous fire and my mana becomes 0 (due to being attacked by an enemy), why can't I recover?
I expected terror and failure, this looks to good.. xD very hype for the league. im not sure what ill be playing tho :) keep the videos up during the league.
hmm, second one to say it looks good. Maybe I was to hard on it then, feelt a little slow. Atleast until you get some decent cast speed. Also defenses arent to great in the end of the acts. I can try keep em up :)
@@Fliesss it felt slow because you used flamedash alone and now days if youre not using shield charge / frostblink / whirling blades or being a ranger with 200 ms and onslaught it feels slower but the build itself its fine, and yes id say going with cast speed is a must.
@@FliesssWilma's requital makes the ballista build go bonkers, you end up with insane amounts of attack speed. you can still clear with CA too, it just has to be in a mirage archer setup to deal damage
Did this last league, arcanist brand with conductivity + WoC boosted dmg greatly. Did feel squishy until after more investment though. And with Ultimatum you prob want something tanky (bonezone?) or mobile with dmg uptime (anything brands/totems/ballistas?) or the best dmg builds (DD obviously). Arc ignite got buffed though, so Elementalist?
Agree, it feelt a little tricky to get both damage and defense via mana and getting some items from trade would have helped a huge amount. For Ultimatum, ye something with LGOH would be good and being decently tanky. Ignite prolif should be pretty good, either trap/arc/woc as starter.
@@Fliesss Yeah, I played DO in ultimatum, and back then it was soo good for ultimatums, but if you get to fight trial master you are toast, since damage and recovery of DO is based on killing stuff. Now DO has way more tools and tricks, so it could be not as bad for single target.
Might've missed it somewhere in the video, but any reason you chose to go spell echo instead of unleash? I think most people do pick spell echo over unleash nowadays, just curious. Haven't touched it since the old archmage and the fatty 4 unleash seals was always such a fun button.
Thank you for sharing your content. I follow all your videos! By any chance, could you make a video about: POE leveling as if league Blade Trap Saboteur before 3.23 Thank you very much !
Although there are nice changes, some critical and important uniqs have become unusable, they have officially hit ashes and heatshiver with a big blow, so there is not much logic left in playing elemental. Again, poison buffs for some unknown reason. I don't know why we have to play dot, it's very frustrating. I'll probably start with toxic rain pathfinder
Ashes is probably my favorite item, so sad to see it gutted. But it was a little to strong tbh. Its never feels good when your build gets nerfed. Hope for some awsome gem changes that can make up for it create something new fun!
let's hope so, it will be more difficult to make mana reserves in the new league, I don't think it will be a problem for pathfinder anw best luck for all of us@@Fliesss

this build is looking even better with the new gems from today, im especially interested in the one that gives more damage per remaining chain
Haven't been able to read them yet. Will sit down soon and do that. Good to see buffs to self cast if that's the case
Thank you sir, seems stronger than i thought and you did all that with all rares, i will abuse trade unfortunately
Even rares via trade to make sure you get mana and regen will make it much stronger. Not sure price and how easy it is day 1.

Oh and all the other changes that are important on this huge patch notes but are a bit hidden like the changes to RF or with heatshiver😅
I think we have some of the same feelings.
Either way, I'm glad there is a shakeup as its been abit stale.
@@Fliesss Divine ire totems will be sick
You starting it?
So quick question.Is this also viable to start at 3.24?I was looking to play an archmage arc.
Like! It's actually my starter! But i think eo is better cos you can invest more points in mana and damage. Also i put arrogance+clarity+vitality+mom, it provides you more survivability, later you can take es leech which also helps a lot
Good stuff! Hope you will have a great start with it!
great video but where is Builld and GEAR for Midgame and end game ?
I mainly try to show leveling to acts and not a full build guide.
There are many other that do indept gear showcase and such.
@@Fliesssthere's actually noone who's doing early map/midgame showcase for Arc Archmage Hiero.

Love the content, keep it up! You should try a pathfinder with toxic rain balistas, using a caustic arrow manaforged setup for clear :)
I've done normal TR but I think I'd like a totem version more. Might have to make poll for a last skill if I have time.
Also, thanks!

Basically to have it more consistant was my thought about it.
damage looks rly good, you think changes to arc will change somenthing?
Not for leveling, normal version should be better even.
Thank you for sharing your content. I follow all your videos! By any chance, could you make a video about: POE leveling as if league Blade Trap Saboteur before 3.23
Thank you very much !
Maybe... I'm leveling Spectres now and its so easy. We will see if I have time for 1 more before launch.
your pob is up to date ? because it's a 3.22 pob
It was made before they made the patch notes.
Nice
Leveling pobb for 3.23?
In the description. Do check some of the comments, a few ppl that do play this build like to go EO for most of or all of the leveling campaign.

Ye, I'm guessing a influenced heist amulet will be the go-to.
GL to you too!
heatshiver is dead，there are no reson to play lighting or cold skill anymore
Ye it took a huge nerf. But I don't think that is really true. And as Archmage I wouldn't convert anything either way.
