this build is amazing! i made a few changes and have been zooming through T17s like water. I changed the shield gems to Sigil, Frost Shield, Shock Nova. I am also running a Bottled Faith and Rumi, leaving two magic utility flasks. I have a "2 flask" mageblood for those two remaining flasks "silver and diamond flasks". I am also running Wrath instead of Haste. This build absolutely MELTS all content I take it through. Thanks again!
@@FusionGaming101 moved to a 4 flask mb and its still zooming! Have you found a way to meet to block cap without Rumi? I'd really like to run a Progenesis instead of the Rumi
@@FusionGaming101 I made a way today. Change the 3% block viridian jewel to the unique jewel that allows for passives around Blood Magic. 2 points solves the attack block. Next, change the amulet annointment to Safeguard, that takes care of the spell block. Now you can get rid of Rumi and have even more block than before due to the increased caps!
Great job breaking down this build people always show they're build in a way that only makes sense to someone that has thousands of hours. This is my first league and I got all except the Uber content done. I then rerolled my juggernaut bone shatter. Into a molten strike build and spent all my currency. And ruined my char. Plus wasted 150 d. I have about 90 left and I'm going to try this. Thank you!
Been playing for 7 years. This build is insanely good with less than 10 divs. I cannot die with this build, and the damage is THERE. Thank you for the guide! I'm definitely subbing.
stop lying the armour by itself is 5-10 divs corrupted, 5 div shield, ... I don't think you may be able to wrap up this build with 10 div, probably 80-90 div and you may be able to have it with good standing
@lazypanda3049 have you even watched the first 4 minutes of thr video... because clearly not.. otherwise you would understand !! Watch it before making a stupid comment like this and making yourself look stupid 🙄
@@FusionGaming101 but u recommend it, don't you?? and the thing that you are recommending is not CHEAP, as the person on here mentioned. Good rolls on items will cost more than 10 divs, and also try to be respectful toward your audience.
So, I took about 2 hours today to gather all of this gear and the jewels and gems I needed to swap over to this from ziz/goratha's build and man what a difference this build is. I'm currently sitting under res cap on all of my resists after switching and still have not died yet doing beyond/deli/altars in my t16 maps. I was seriously considering rerolling because I felt stuck but now I'm ready to keep blasting! Thank you man. Cost was around 20 divs for me to switch from ziz POB to this one.
This is exactly what I need to know, started with Ziz build and was looking for an upgrade right in line with the currency I'm willing to spend, thanks for letting us know!
Finally finished this build,and it's amazing,all the comments that say it's bait must be high or on something cause this build is amazing. Thank you a lot for providing this guide.
Like many others in the comments, I swapped to this from ziz's build, that I had to supplement with Goratha's build to actually find functionality in the middle somewhere. This is far far far superior to those builds. Having block is so much better than "have high ehp and pray"--even with max suppression, ailment immunity, fancy jewels and 6 endurance charges-- I was dying too much and not leveling past 94. Second day on your build and I'm lvl 97, doing more dps than before. It's great, thank you.
@@Strygwyr10 probably 15-20d. The block chance stuff is priority, a perfect rumis flask is 2d, the red nightmare jewel is 3 - 4d, the shield is 3-4d (I bought a 14% chance to block instead of a 15 and saved a div or 2). A rare jewel with 3% 3% vary from 10-50+c. Wand is cheap, kitavas is cheap, 6L is 2d ish, ring and amulet can be picked up cheaply (all depends on stats). Then it's just getting your res fixed and other gear optimized which is hard to put a price on. The other unique jewels are quite nice, idk that they're mandatory though--glorious vanity 3-5d, unnatural instinct 2d, healthy mind is like 15c---you certainly don't want to skip them they help a lot.
I switched to this today after following a build guide from somewhere else. I don't want to name names but that build felt thrown together for some bait clicks. This build is so much better and so much more thought our.
just transtion to this from grotha/zizaran build at lvl94 , it around 20div to spec/items&gems . i feel much much better i can actually tank stuff and have more than enough dps to wipe the maps. thank u for sharing
I transitions at lvl 88, and similarly, way, way better. Think my total cost for the build is less than 10 divs ... just got to be smart and not go for "top rolls and curroptions" on everything.
same here, i need to switch for this version from zizaran. Ziz did great job, but have 100% suppress damage spell costs to much for me at the moment lol
Guys remember the tattoo of the valako shieldbreaker at the start of the skill tree 2 nodes to give you 2 more block. Took days to search why i was missing it.
I regret waiting so long to swap to this build from the Ziz suppression build. This thing annihilates and you feel invincible 99% of the time. Love it.
Hello mate!!!I also play zizarans version.is this version better??I see mixed comments others say is way better others worse and i dont know what to do because i need respec of all items!!!
@@FusionGaming101 an important question!how much nowadays costs ro swap to this version??because i have already a 100d goratha/ziz version!thats why i ask because i will need to sell some stuff to change to this.thanks
Dude very good guide. I was kinda stuck on non crit version, now with shield i can lower just a little damage (on my budget) and scale A LOT of defenses, TY!
Great build, thank you! Having a blast playing it for a last week or so. Threw some currency in it and made some adjustments, such as: Unspecd some mana nodes to reach ES leech (Light Eater wheel with insta leech mastery), as someone in comments below mentioned. I feel now more tanky overall. Placed Purity of Elements instead of Haste. Made me a little slower, but no more annoying ailments. In Svalinn i placed Frost Shield, Wave of Conviction and Sigil of Power (again, as someone already mentioned). Bottled Faith gave me pretty big increase on solo target (i farm big exiles on t16 and t17). Swapped belt for Headhunter, now mapping is more smooth (and hh is pretty cheap). Overall i feel pretty tanky and dealing some nice damage, Fortress boss is no problem (if its not having 140% life as ES lol).
@FusionGaming101 I took the plunge and made the switch from Ziz' version to your build, spending about 25 div. After making a few adjustments, I'm really happy with it. It's much more tanky, but I have to avoid some more mods on maps and blue altars. As others have pointed out, I went for leech on the tree with 10% instant leech. I also use faster casting for wintry blast and flame dash for better mobility. I self cast ele weakness, conductivity, and assassin's mark instead of using arcanist brand, so I can curse everything while mapping. In the shield, I use sigil, frost shield and cold snap. Instead of haste, I use purity of elements for ailment immunity, more resistances, and to avoid the dex requirements entirely. This make gearing a lot easier and allows for capping chaos res. I also added bottle of faith for a huge damage boost.
how are you using faster casting and eternal blessing support? even with taking arcanist brand and haste out, theres still one socket needed, unless you changed the gloves boots combo entirely?
I've been wanting to make the switch to a Svalinn build but I've been concerned about the damage output being much lower. Glad to see that you still crank on everything!
im doing juiced t17s ambush strat with this build right now (+1 power charge kitava) sitting at 18 mill dps and having 0 problems making 10-20 div an hour
I had Ice Nova on my build list for this league but it was pretty far down because I knew it was one of the most popular and that means the items are going to be marked up to high heaven. That was until the gem popped up in one of my labs lol. Originally I was going to go with Ziz's just because it was the one that originally got served to me in recommended but then I hesitated because he isn't actually playing it, so there aren't any updates to it past his first ideas pre league launch. I am glad i came here and read through the comments and saw so many people switching from his build to this one lol. That is reassuring.
Note for those looking at shield skills: A test was just performed with Shock Nova and it does not look very useful to the build. Shock Nova has a mod in it which can lift the shock effect from 50 to 70, which would normally be a big deal. However, because it is a local mod, the effect must be raised by Shock Nova itself and it does not have enough damage to even get to 50 against a basic T16 boss, much less a pinnacle boss.
@@joeg1336 what many people use is Cold Snap, Frost Shield and Sigil of Power when mapping. Some also use Wave of Conviction in place of Cold Snap especially when bossing as Cold Snap is useless against bosses with out adds.
Hey mate im currently following this guide word for word as its my first league start in POE and need all the help I can get. Im currently running with Shock Nova in the shield as suggested but wonder if you had a link to the testing of it not being good so I can look to change and optimize, many thanks.
@@Aussie_Scro hello, unfortunately we can not put links in these youtube chats as the entire comment will be remove. You can try and find it yourself, the youtube name was "tufferugli" and the name of the video was "shock nova test". You can see in the vidoe Shock Nova is never able to create a shock above 50 by itself, rendering it useless for this build (since its only function was to create shock effects higher than 50).
so i had a pretty shitty league start, tried something new, didnt work out, etc. it just so happened to be another hiero build. so i shelved it and got on my usual righteous fire build and saved up a bunch of currency. thought about making another bow character like i usually do, then saw this guide. had obviously an assload of regrets in the stash, so rather than playing the campaign again i said screw it and gave this a try. i think ive spent about 70 or 80 divines on it, and let me just tell you, this is exactly how i want to feel when i play a video game lol. well done.
Thanks for the guide, was playing IceNoveOfFrost. since last league but this build with it's defences is much more better and has more survivability and you can sustain the DPS. Cheers m8
Thank you SO MUCH !!!!! this has saved the fucking league for me. I work full time, I'm a parent, I love the game but sometimes I really just want a basic click and kill shit and do all the content without the headaches. This is all of that and more and it really is a 20 div budget. thank you.....
Thanks for your work on this build, i also came from the "older version from Ziz and goratha" but this is more updated and i thank you for that. have a nice day.
This video helped me to make my choice. I added a couple of changes: 1) Energy Shield Leech and some Jewels in Tree (The Light of Meaning is so strong) 2) Frostbite, Sigil of Power and Frost Shield instead of Lightning Gems on Shield for more tanky 3) Use Zealotry, instead of Haste, and Faster Casting with Frostblink of WB for more dmg and speed 4) Badge of the Brotherhood and Ralakesh boots, instead of ur talisman and boots 5) Wand with DD and Cast speed, cause it costs me 6d with average rolls Focusing on Crits, but ur main idea of Ice nova with tanky shield is awesome. I don't have Mageblood, and all my currency spended on T1 rolls with good corruption (RIP at least 15 Svalinn as rare shields -_-), but, anyway, running T17 looks fantastic. Thanks dude
great changes! I always love to see different ideas. Let me ask you about Frostbite. Are you using mostly for chance to freeze? We do very small amounts of cold damage in the build so you won't benefit from the cold resistance mod. Sigil and Frost Shield are must haves. The 3rd slot people experiment with. I have been using Cold Snap for frenzy charges. Many us in the thread here agree ES Leech (with 10% instant leech) is almost mandatory in hard content. The two big upgrades you could save for are the weapon enchant (Haunted by Tormented Spirits) and of course a mageblood. I have the enchant but am still grinding for mageblood. I just hit level 100 today with the build.
@@ILoveMyBGE Are you using mostly for chance to freeze? - Yes. +2 lvl for AoE gems on shield. 3rd slot is unstable, trying Cold Snap, but with Ralakesh...i don't think... The two big upgrades... - Yes, but it costs more, than mageblood, if we want a T1 rolls on weapon. Thats why
@@shenalfonseka5365 yes. BigGreenIceNova My build is significantly changed from this version as we have been slowly improving it over time. If you are looking for more info, we have a thread over on the poe build forums called "The Lazy Ice Nova...." Lots of helpful people in there have made the build significantly better.
@@FusionGaming101 yo i got the build running coming fron Zizs version, i put lightning golem in the shield for the extra cast speed, still figuring out how to fit in even more so the build feels smoother (dps + faster frostblink) since haste is way too good to drop for some faster casting stuff
HI. Swopped to your guide last night. It feels great. Still need some minor stuff but tested with what level 95 atm and felt great in t16 maps. Glad I came across your guide. THANKS. And also explaining everything helps a lot. Subbed
First of all, really great video. You elucidated many points of this build clearly and concisely without bumbling or rambling irrelevantly. I have two questions: 1. why don't you take light eater for the leach? (I assume you get enough leach just from the gloves?) 2. If you could clear up how you get block capped that would be great. The red nightmare jewel, the shield, nodes, and rumis? I think I'm missing something because my block is quite low. Thank you for the video and for your time reading this.
For me Light Eater was a build changer. Keeping your ES capped at all times increases the survivability in very hard content (things like simulacrum, late round Ultimatums etc) significantly. If you are only doing basic T16 mapping, you can probably get away with out it but if you want to push harder, very concentrated content, you will need ES leech IMO.
@@ILoveMyBGE I have been following a build for a while that has LE, but of course I love to see what other people do since it would be a very easy swap from one tree to another considering they all generally go to the same areas. The one in this video seems super tanky and well rounded. If I ever do swap out of the one I'm using I'd probably go to this build and just squeeze in LE somehow. Seems too strong to miss out on.
@@Kayoz Honestly man I wish I could tell ya. I just found it on a reddit thread about the build a few days ago. It was just a comment with a link. Has void battery and Svalin shield, and a bunch of expensive jewels. If I can find the link I'll send it, but I can't promise I'll be able to find it again. All the builds are similar I figured, so if you get to end game and decide to try another tree you can just regret probably 20 points and some gear and try the other out. But from what I've seen the one in the video looked great.
Greetings I’m playing the build with Ralakesh's Impatience Riveted Boots and Malachais Loop Shield plus Badge of the Brotherhood amulet feels really good
It’s important that your spending over 100 mana per cast. I was playing this and took a mana node that dropped me under the 100 mana break point on the helm and it kinda breaks the build
Hey there! SSF enjoyer here - I have most pieces of the gear except the Unnatural. I was wondering if you think I can still run the build without it or should I stay in Rogue Exile pain for awhile till I find it? Just tried joining in on the Discord as well but booted me out. Love your content!
I was running ziz’s build up to level 92. It had some unclear and rough parts along the way but as a starter I would recommend it. Very strong early on and walks you through. However, this build has been the most powerful I have felt in this game so far. And tanky. I don’t even have a red nightmare yet. Initially when I switched to it, it was really slow and it felt like a terrible mistake. However I swapped out some lightning damage from the guide for cast speed instead, I use spell echo on frostblink for the cast speed (has more than faster cast), and my dps and utility went up by a lot. I see almost 500k on the in game tool tip now. Ziz’s topped out at over 200k for me. Thanks man. Anyone tried testing ralekash, badge of brotherhood and one of the charge belts with this yet?
Also don't forget to take that lightning mastery node up top for increased maximum effect of shock. Was missing a ton of DPS because I skipped over it....but it can add 5-10m DPS depending on if you go from 0 to 50% shock effect in POB. Everything except maybe T17 bosses and ubers (or monsters/maps with some sort of shock resistance mods) should be shocked at much greater effect after that. In practice you're never going to hit 50% shock effect on everything, but the node ensures that those enemies which are vulnerable are hit with the full 50% effect.
did this build few days back only change made was went with defence gems like frost shield on shield and stuff couldn't be more happier feel tanky as well as amazing dps Thank you very much Brother!
Awesome guide dude. Thanks! I transitioned to this build. It’s probably only worth 15 div. Everything basic. What would you recommend to upgrade first?
Have to give credit where it’s due, swapped to this build from zizs and got lucky with a ring, I’m called res on everything, 8/8 charges, and not even corrupted my chest yet and I breezed through Uber elder, t17s and maven. Gotta say best build I’ve used.
@@FusionGaming101 is there any way or reason to push the dps higher? Build feels amazing in just curious on what there would be to improve on if you could?
Thank you for the build! I am currently stuck at 50% block chance and I don't quite get what I am missing, where does all of your block chance come from?
Liked and subbed! Been using kitavas with lightning of conduit, and some curses. But this takes it to another level. Excited to try and go for it this way!
Hey man, how would you level this build? I have hiero at 75 level currently and I am wondering what to prioritize first - I'd love to start working towards this as soon as possible, not far away at 97 :D Do you have any tips/suggestions pls? :)
his POB shows that they are all killed for one passive point. But don't be afraid to use Alira if you need help capping resistance or Kraityn for more movement speed either if you find the need.
Thx man, this build's comfortable standard is as high as Phox's RF build I believe. I find a little adjustment might be useful, instead of hast,I use frostblink of winterblast+spell echo + faster cast,I believe this is faster ouo
There is no need for Lightning leech on helmet. You can get that cheap on glove implicit. The Power Charge is the important one. You can get that for 5D.
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing. May I ask if you considered adding Cold Snap to the shield set up? You could have 3 frenzy charges with high uptime while mapping which adds a lot of DPS to the build.
@@FusionGaming101 I will. I use an automated Cold Snap on my current build (bleed glad) and it keeps the Frenzy charges up the entire map. You won't have them for bossing though, so it may be worth swapping the gem for a really big boss. Luckily Cold Snap is a blue gem so it can swap in and out with one of the lighting skills (or even sigil).
Hey @Fusion Gaming Than you for the build! It's really enjoyable! I was wondering, do you have any regex for T16 and T17, and if so, would you share please? :) And do you have a favourite T17 map for this build?
Your welcome and no just no Ele reflect and no regen are impossible with out changes to the build. Reduced effect of curses, hex proof, reduced effect of block and no leech can be very difficult to deal with but not impossible. I reroll all these mods.
As alwasy, it depends on what you want to do. I am shooting for ailment immunity myself using a Mageblood that I am saving up for. That being said, I am closing in on level 99 and never worry about dying in the maps I run, but if you want to run the hardest maps and content, getting Ailment Immunity, Stun Immunity and Curse Immunity would be three very nice defensive layers to have on top of what is already a tanky build.
@@lucassalesa.3472 hello. Unfortunately we can not post links here in the thread. The comments seem to get removed entirely if we do.

Heya, Awesome guide! Almost wrecking T17's now. How can I improve this build further.? My first season so I'm not sure which items or what is available to this build.
hey, one of the best narrated and organized guides i've ever seen, too bad i read it 1 day after doing another version ;( what do u think to this compared to the usual spell suppression / no block version? for lategame. would apreciate some thoughts since this kinda seems superior
@@FusionGaming101 hmm nope :D gotta figure it out later. more importantly wanted to clear up my phrasing, i meant your version seems superior. i realize it might be read either way. the pob i try to post is in aurius98 youtube video called "Poe 3.25 - Archmage Ice nova of Frostbolts - T17 Fortress full clear showcase - 60k gold" maybe u can check it out this way if its ok to relate to another youtuber here. thx
Hey I am a super new player and I just found your guide which helps alot. Because I just started mapping and finished the white ones I am still broke as hell. What do you think is this first thing i should focus on in your build? When do I respecc my atlas board - I guess its really cost expensive? I wanted to aim for "legion" as endgame because it's the first thing I understood, is this viable?
Very good video man! I didn't understand how to get both attack and spell blocking at 88%-87%, currently I have 60-61% with the 'Rumi Concotion' active. what am I forgetting or not seeing?
You need the Svalinn unique shield to raise your block into the high 80's once you cap at 65. If you already have the shield, then make sure you have allocated the correct tattoos around the Red Nightmare jewel.
After running simulacrum, I found a hole in the build I needed to fix for my game play. It never happens in mapping but in the ultra hectic nature of Simulacrum, I was not able to see my ES recharge when engaged. I made some small tree changes to get ES leech and 10% instant leech, and I stayed capped off all the time, and also instant recovery from when Frost Shield proc. I was able to complete Simulacrum deathless with this change.
@@malkora hey, i made some changes and closed simulacrum, when the server is back i'l post the pob link here. i don't configured, is just to you see which changes i made to close the content
Great to see you're still responding to comments here. I have a new player question. I already have a LS slayer starter that does T16. Now I'm somewhat eager to try this build because it looks fun and it's on the other side of the tree but idk if that's dumb and instead I should just farm currency with my LS slayer and put together an endgame build with it. Or is this an endgame build? It's titled best build of the league so.. I guess it is? And my LS slayer potentially is too..? I'm confused about the starter / endgame names that builds have lol. In my head I always thought of RF or bow builds (tornado shot) being endgame because they are so expensive..?
Sub just for the creativity of showcasing the build at the beginning. Everyone just shows them running a T16 and its like bro, any build with 4-5 div can do that, show me something I'd be impressed with.
just to note, the beginning of the video is actually a mistake. He highlights that he is missing 50% of his damage because he is in an Expedition where they are immune to cold damage. However the build is almost entirely lightning damage so being immune to cold barely effects the build's damage output.
As you can see from the video, it's a multi-divine thing, once you've got the hang of it. I'm going to stick with my current stuff for the time being, just to build up a little reserve before switching to this one a little later on :) Very nice video
I currently have around 45 div saved. I think I may try for 100 divs before switching to this. That amount, I think, should get a decent version of this build but will not include the double corrupts and Awakened Spell Echo.
@@FusionGaming101 one thing players may consider is, if they feel Frost Blink of WB is good enough for movememt, they could maybe replace the quicksilver flask with an Amethyst flask.
Very thorough guide with detailed information about setup. As newcomer to POE i highly appreciate such style, no need to guess why this particular skill/item was taken and how it benefits the whole idea. Stumbled on this video after I suprisingly saw on poe ninja that huge chunk of frostnova mages run absolutely different version rather than ziza/goratha and was like "what the heck is that one". Now i get it. Also got a question: does basic version of items without corruption(including lvl 21 gems)is more or less able to handle the high end content? Or it's more like for the most ideal setup which would clear t16/17s even faster than ever?
Welp, just like how a bunch of people are already saying in the comments, I did a full respec from Zizaran's version and this feels so much better in terms of survavility. The difference is day and night. Sold everything i was using for the previous version of the build and reinvested the divines on this version (Probably around 13 to 15 divines)
it took a day to get from 30-95 and get most geared, got a mageblood and optimized around the flasks, im eating ubers, not at this level but its an impressive build even at half its full power
Tried the switch to the shield for max block and got way tankier, thx for that. Still got a question: how do i sustain the mana ? I skilled all the recover/manareg/10%procc nodes like all the others but i have consistently the problem of running oom; currently im at ~6,5k max mana.
If you go into his POB, go to the calcs window. Go to the Mana pane and then hover your mouse over "Recovery". That will show your all the sources of Mana Recovery on gear and on tree. There are many. You can also add one more source if these are not enough for you. Remove the Elemental Mastery that inverts resists (we don't want that in our build), and replace it with a Mana Mastery that says "10% of Damage taken recouped as Mana"
you dont need power charge on crit lvl21 it adds nothing, you set count 8 because every time u cast u cast on 4 balls = 4 and then spell echo makes it repeat automatically again so thats 2x4=8, but you're only casting once not twice. for instance if you use pledge of hands which adds another 2 repeats you will cast once on the balls and it will repeat 4 times which makes your cast time insanely fast since u're only casting once but u are doing insane damage cause its repeated 4 times
However with Pledge you are stood in place like a sitting duck while the pledge casts and casts and casts... i used Pledge with a Ball Lightning build back in ritual league and that was awesome, however the stuck in place for like 1.1 second while you cast was annoying.
Hope people are aware you need to be running shock immune and reduced curse effect on flasks. Not running ailment immunity these are required along with the pantheon mentioned.

this build is amazing! i made a few changes and have been zooming through T17s like water. I changed the shield gems to Sigil, Frost Shield, Shock Nova. I am also running a Bottled Faith and Rumi, leaving two magic utility flasks. I have a "2 flask" mageblood for those two remaining flasks "silver and diamond flasks". I am also running Wrath instead of Haste. This build absolutely MELTS all content I take it through. Thanks again!
Glad it helped!
@@FusionGaming101 moved to a 4 flask mb and its still zooming! Have you found a way to meet to block cap without Rumi? I'd really like to run a Progenesis instead of the Rumi
@terrancepage9163 no it's hard unless you change the tree a bit.
@@FusionGaming101 I made a way today. Change the 3% block viridian jewel to the unique jewel that allows for passives around Blood Magic. 2 points solves the attack block. Next, change the amulet annointment to Safeguard, that takes care of the spell block. Now you can get rid of Rumi and have even more block than before due to the increased caps!
@@terrancepage9163 i got lost at the unique jewel thing
Great job breaking down this build people always show they're build in a way that only makes sense to someone that has thousands of hours. This is my first league and I got all except the Uber content done. I then rerolled my juggernaut bone shatter. Into a molten strike build and spent all my currency. And ruined my char. Plus wasted 150 d.
I have about 90 left and I'm going to try this. Thank you!
Been playing for 7 years. This build is insanely good with less than 10 divs. I cannot die with this build, and the damage is THERE. Thank you for the guide! I'm definitely subbing.
Thanks dude
stop lying the armour by itself is 5-10 divs corrupted, 5 div shield, ... I don't think you may be able to wrap up this build with 10 div, probably 80-90 div and you may be able to have it with good standing
@lazypanda3049 have you even watched the first 4 minutes of thr video... because clearly not.. otherwise you would understand !! Watch it before making a stupid comment like this and making yourself look stupid 🙄
@@FusionGaming101 but u recommend it, don't you?? and the thing that you are recommending is not CHEAP, as the person on here mentioned. Good rolls on items will cost more than 10 divs, and also try to be respectful toward your audience.
@@lazypanda3049 so don't get good best rolls.. get any rolls.. for build to function. Don't go got max roll if you cannot afford it.
So, I took about 2 hours today to gather all of this gear and the jewels and gems I needed to swap over to this from ziz/goratha's build and man what a difference this build is. I'm currently sitting under res cap on all of my resists after switching and still have not died yet doing beyond/deli/altars in my t16 maps. I was seriously considering rerolling because I felt stuck but now I'm ready to keep blasting! Thank you man. Cost was around 20 divs for me to switch from ziz POB to this one.
Good man glad it helped
I did the same and I am constantly dying to beyond/deli/altars in my t16 maps. What am I doing wrong?
@@exmirt7 are you 65% Block? Running the shield?
This is exactly what I need to know, started with Ziz build and was looking for an upgrade right in line with the currency I'm willing to spend, thanks for letting us know!
20 divs to build this to reach that 30+mil dps really?
Finally finished this build,and it's amazing,all the comments that say it's bait must be high or on something cause this build is amazing.
Thank you a lot for providing this guide.
Glad you enjoy it! And ye I know think they be haters
Like many others in the comments, I swapped to this from ziz's build, that I had to supplement with Goratha's build to actually find functionality in the middle somewhere. This is far far far superior to those builds. Having block is so much better than "have high ehp and pray"--even with max suppression, ailment immunity, fancy jewels and 6 endurance charges-- I was dying too much and not leveling past 94. Second day on your build and I'm lvl 97, doing more dps than before.
It's great, thank you.
how much did you spend for this build?
@@Strygwyr10 probably 15-20d. The block chance stuff is priority, a perfect rumis flask is 2d, the red nightmare jewel is 3 - 4d, the shield is 3-4d (I bought a 14% chance to block instead of a 15 and saved a div or 2). A rare jewel with 3% 3% vary from 10-50+c. Wand is cheap, kitavas is cheap, 6L is 2d ish, ring and amulet can be picked up cheaply (all depends on stats). Then it's just getting your res fixed and other gear optimized which is hard to put a price on. The other unique jewels are quite nice, idk that they're mandatory though--glorious vanity 3-5d, unnatural instinct 2d, healthy mind is like 15c---you certainly don't want to skip them they help a lot.
Little advice to people, make sure to check the "aways attack without moving" button , otherwise feels a little bit clunky
Definitely forgot about this, thanks!
I switched to this today after following a build guide from somewhere else. I don't want to name names but that build felt thrown together for some bait clicks. This build is so much better and so much more thought our.
Thankyou James for your kind words
just transtion to this from grotha/zizaran build at lvl94 , it around 20div to spec/items&gems . i feel much much better i can actually tank stuff and have more than enough dps to wipe the maps. thank u for sharing
Your welcome dude and glad it helps
same thing happened to me at lvl 94 with that build spectd into this feels way better
I transitions at lvl 88, and similarly, way, way better. Think my total cost for the build is less than 10 divs ... just got to be smart and not go for "top rolls and curroptions" on everything.
Bit late to the party here, but… Oh. My. God. This build is so much better than what other streamers have advertised!
Thanks and hope it helps
Dude thank you so much. Build amazing. I have tried Goratha and Zizaran version and was constantly dying. This build with great defense
Same here. This build saved me 😅
Thanks
same here, i need to switch for this version from zizaran. Ziz did great job, but have 100% suppress damage spell costs to much for me at the moment lol
@@tgk217 thanks
more like skill issue.
Just respect for this build today, Man this is illegal recommended 100% game is easy mode with it!!! Respect!! keep up the good work.
Thanks pal
Guys remember the tattoo of the valako shieldbreaker at the start of the skill tree 2 nodes to give you 2 more block. Took days to search why i was missing it.
Hello I m from Belarus,thank you for the video,I did everything from it,I have only 52% block attack damage, 57 block spell damage,what is it?
I regret waiting so long to swap to this build from the Ziz suppression build. This thing annihilates and you feel invincible 99% of the time. Love it.
Hello mate!!!I also play zizarans version.is this version better??I see mixed comments others say is way better others worse and i dont know what to do because i need respec of all items!!!
It does smash all content, if you stick to the guide, if you deviate like a few have you will have a hard time.
@@FusionGaming101 an important question!how much nowadays costs ro swap to this version??because i have already a 100d goratha/ziz version!thats why i ask because i will need to sell some stuff to change to this.thanks
@@ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟΣΝΙΝΙΚΑΣ varies but 20-30 should do it
Dude very good guide. I was kinda stuck on non crit version, now with shield i can lower just a little damage (on my budget) and scale A LOT of defenses, TY!
Your welcome.
@gabrielguerreiro9604 I sometimes stream yes.. and I'm in POB a bit. And what did you want to know about different builds?
Great build, thank you! Having a blast playing it for a last week or so. Threw some currency in it and made some adjustments, such as:
Unspecd some mana nodes to reach ES leech (Light Eater wheel with insta leech mastery), as someone in comments below mentioned. I feel now more tanky overall.
Placed Purity of Elements instead of Haste. Made me a little slower, but no more annoying ailments.
In Svalinn i placed Frost Shield, Wave of Conviction and Sigil of Power (again, as someone already mentioned).
Bottled Faith gave me pretty big increase on solo target (i farm big exiles on t16 and t17).
Swapped belt for Headhunter, now mapping is more smooth (and hh is pretty cheap).
Overall i feel pretty tanky and dealing some nice damage, Fortress boss is no problem (if its not having 140% life as ES lol).
Nice pal, glad it helped.
Hey, could you maybe share your POB? Im swapping to swalinn aswell and would like to take a look
@@radek11992 TH-cam keeps deleting my comments so dunno if its gonna help, but 3jEuGpuREirr is last part of a POB link
Could we see your pob ??
@@DogoodPOG posted it above
@FusionGaming101 I took the plunge and made the switch from Ziz' version to your build, spending about 25 div. After making a few adjustments, I'm really happy with it. It's much more tanky, but I have to avoid some more mods on maps and blue altars. As others have pointed out, I went for leech on the tree with 10% instant leech. I also use faster casting for wintry blast and flame dash for better mobility. I self cast ele weakness, conductivity, and assassin's mark instead of using arcanist brand, so I can curse everything while mapping. In the shield, I use sigil, frost shield and cold snap. Instead of haste, I use purity of elements for ailment immunity, more resistances, and to avoid the dex requirements entirely. This make gearing a lot easier and allows for capping chaos res. I also added bottle of faith for a huge damage boost.
hey can i have your pob
Hey could I also have your pob?
how are you using faster casting and eternal blessing support? even with taking arcanist brand and haste out, theres still one socket needed, unless you changed the gloves boots combo entirely?
im also switchingfro mziz
Im trying to make this build but i see on pob that it only has 32% chaos res - is this right?
the build is insane! now i got higher dps. and more mana!!! subbed. thanks. keep sharing!
I've been wanting to make the switch to a Svalinn build but I've been concerned about the damage output being much lower. Glad to see that you still crank on everything!
Ye you do take a dmg hit, however as someone once told me, you can't kill anything if your dead ..so defenses are strong.
im doing juiced t17s ambush strat with this build right now (+1 power charge kitava) sitting at 18 mill dps and having 0 problems making 10-20 div an hour
@@justinbuder-lesage4747 told you 😉
@@justinbuder-lesage4747how in the world do you get that level of DPS with this build?
I had Ice Nova on my build list for this league but it was pretty far down because I knew it was one of the most popular and that means the items are going to be marked up to high heaven. That was until the gem popped up in one of my labs lol. Originally I was going to go with Ziz's just because it was the one that originally got served to me in recommended but then I hesitated because he isn't actually playing it, so there aren't any updates to it past his first ideas pre league launch. I am glad i came here and read through the comments and saw so many people switching from his build to this one lol. That is reassuring.
Ziz is extremely unreliable and tends to bait for views.
Starter and mid game gear with tree will complete the build guide.
this for sure earns a sub, feels so good and tanky with your set up even at lvl 80
Thanks
Note for those looking at shield skills: A test was just performed with Shock Nova and it does not look very useful to the build. Shock Nova has a mod in it which can lift the shock effect from 50 to 70, which would normally be a big deal. However, because it is a local mod, the effect must be raised by Shock Nova itself and it does not have enough damage to even get to 50 against a basic T16 boss, much less a pinnacle boss.
Is there a recommended replacement option?
@@joeg1336 what many people use is Cold Snap, Frost Shield and Sigil of Power when mapping. Some also use Wave of Conviction in place of Cold Snap especially when bossing as Cold Snap is useless against bosses with out adds.
Hey mate im currently following this guide word for word as its my first league start in POE and need all the help I can get. Im currently running with Shock Nova in the shield as suggested but wonder if you had a link to the testing of it not being good so I can look to change and optimize, many thanks.
@@Aussie_Scro hello, unfortunately we can not put links in these youtube chats as the entire comment will be remove. You can try and find it yourself, the youtube name was "tufferugli" and the name of the video was "shock nova test". You can see in the vidoe Shock Nova is never able to create a shock above 50 by itself, rendering it useless for this build (since its only function was to create shock effects higher than 50).
@ILoveMyBGE this might be a crazy question, but what sort of atlas passive / strat is good for a build like this?
so i had a pretty shitty league start, tried something new, didnt work out, etc. it just so happened to be another hiero build. so i shelved it and got on my usual righteous fire build and saved up a bunch of currency. thought about making another bow character like i usually do, then saw this guide. had obviously an assload of regrets in the stash, so rather than playing the campaign again i said screw it and gave this a try. i think ive spent about 70 or 80 divines on it, and let me just tell you, this is exactly how i want to feel when i play a video game lol. well done.
Thankyou glad you liked it
Do you have a low budget example?
Thanks for the guide, was playing IceNoveOfFrost. since last league but this build with it's defences is much more better and has more survivability and you can sustain the DPS. Cheers m8
there's no point having element avoid on boots since u dont have it anywhere else, u're just wasting a slot for useful mod
True i just threw it on for a bit of avoidance, but its flexible
Why PoB saying 100% immune ailments??
Thank you SO MUCH !!!!! this has saved the fucking league for me. I work full time, I'm a parent, I love the game but sometimes I really just want a basic click and kill shit and do all the content without the headaches. This is all of that and more and it really is a 20 div budget. thank you.....
Glad it helped pal
beans and toast!
Thanks hahaha
Smoothest build to run T17s I've tried so far... really great, safe and high damage.
Good to hear
whats the craft for boots and gloves ?
Thanks for your work on this build, i also came from the "older version from Ziz and goratha" but this is more updated and i thank you for that.
have a nice day.
Might as well double the cost of this build while im playing on console trade market 😢
Dunno about console market pal
Console market is unusable imo unfortunately. You may as well be playing SSF.
This built is rly great I started doing t15 at lvl 70+ ez with only half of the items …great job
Awesome work dude
well ill be damn..ppl bought my + 1max power charge + 0.5% lightning leech kitava for a MB..now i know why..great build dude
Haha thanks 😊
This video helped me to make my choice. I added a couple of changes:
1) Energy Shield Leech and some Jewels in Tree (The Light of Meaning is so strong)
2) Frostbite, Sigil of Power and Frost Shield instead of Lightning Gems on Shield for more tanky
3) Use Zealotry, instead of Haste, and Faster Casting with Frostblink of WB for more dmg and speed
4) Badge of the Brotherhood and Ralakesh boots, instead of ur talisman and boots
5) Wand with DD and Cast speed, cause it costs me 6d with average rolls
Focusing on Crits, but ur main idea of Ice nova with tanky shield is awesome. I don't have Mageblood, and all my currency spended on T1 rolls with good corruption (RIP at least 15 Svalinn as rare shields -_-), but, anyway, running T17 looks fantastic. Thanks dude
great changes! I always love to see different ideas. Let me ask you about Frostbite. Are you using mostly for chance to freeze? We do very small amounts of cold damage in the build so you won't benefit from the cold resistance mod. Sigil and Frost Shield are must haves. The 3rd slot people experiment with. I have been using Cold Snap for frenzy charges. Many us in the thread here agree ES Leech (with 10% instant leech) is almost mandatory in hard content. The two big upgrades you could save for are the weapon enchant (Haunted by Tormented Spirits) and of course a mageblood. I have the enchant but am still grinding for mageblood. I just hit level 100 today with the build.
@@ILoveMyBGE
Are you using mostly for chance to freeze?
- Yes. +2 lvl for AoE gems on shield. 3rd slot is unstable, trying Cold Snap, but with Ralakesh...i don't think...
The two big upgrades...
- Yes, but it costs more, than mageblood, if we want a T1 rolls on weapon. Thats why
Hi! can I see your POB? thanks!
u on poe ninja?
@@shenalfonseka5365 yes. BigGreenIceNova My build is significantly changed from this version as we have been slowly improving it over time. If you are looking for more info, we have a thread over on the poe build forums called "The Lazy Ice Nova...." Lots of helpful people in there have made the build significantly better.
i was uncertain but you got me with the shield, triggering 3 sperate gems on block sounds mad fun.
Haha it is quirky
@@FusionGaming101 yo i got the build running coming fron Zizs version, i put lightning golem in the shield for the extra cast speed, still figuring out how to fit in even more so the build feels smoother (dps + faster frostblink) since haste is way too good to drop for some faster casting stuff
Very nice, I am using the build but I took Divine Judgment and Elemental mastery to be reflect immune, instead of some of the mana nodes.
HI. Swopped to your guide last night. It feels great. Still need some minor stuff but tested with what level 95 atm and felt great in t16 maps. Glad I came across your guide. THANKS. And also explaining everything helps a lot. Subbed
Great to hear!
First of all, really great video. You elucidated many points of this build clearly and concisely without bumbling or rambling irrelevantly.
I have two questions:
1. why don't you take light eater for the leach? (I assume you get enough leach just from the gloves?)
2. If you could clear up how you get block capped that would be great. The red nightmare jewel, the shield, nodes, and rumis? I think I'm missing something because my block is quite low.
Thank you for the video and for your time reading this.
That's everything don't forget tattoos. Also leech is enough on gloves
For me Light Eater was a build changer. Keeping your ES capped at all times increases the survivability in very hard content (things like simulacrum, late round Ultimatums etc) significantly. If you are only doing basic T16 mapping, you can probably get away with out it but if you want to push harder, very concentrated content, you will need ES leech IMO.
@@ILoveMyBGE I have been following a build for a while that has LE, but of course I love to see what other people do since it would be a very easy swap from one tree to another considering they all generally go to the same areas. The one in this video seems super tanky and well rounded. If I ever do swap out of the one I'm using I'd probably go to this build and just squeeze in LE somehow. Seems too strong to miss out on.
@@imover9999 Out of curiosity, which build have you been following?
@@Kayoz Honestly man I wish I could tell ya. I just found it on a reddit thread about the build a few days ago. It was just a comment with a link. Has void battery and Svalin shield, and a bunch of expensive jewels. If I can find the link I'll send it, but I can't promise I'll be able to find it again. All the builds are similar I figured, so if you get to end game and decide to try another tree you can just regret probably 20 points and some gear and try the other out. But from what I've seen the one in the video looked great.
This is the best guide ive watched so far! Ty so much
Glad it helped!
This is dope, I'm gonna change my Nova build into this, seems so much tankier and better, thanks!
Glad I could help
Aaah, now this is the fix for that other "click bait nonsense" build, might actually be playable now. Subbed
Thanks
Changed the shield gems to defence and feels much better than the AOE gems, that chill and freeze buffs really helps
I tested a ton of combos and my favorite, by far, is Frost Shield, Sigil and Cold Snap. For the REALLY big bosses, I swap out Cold Snap for Shock Nova
What were you using in it instead?
which gems are you using now in your shield?
thank you! That gives me a lot of inspiration how to improve my build and to set new goals
You're so welcome!
Greetings I’m playing the build with Ralakesh's Impatience Riveted Boots and Malachais Loop Shield plus Badge of the Brotherhood amulet feels really good

Thanks for this super detailed guide, I've never played the build before, but I rerolled from LS Slayer because of your guide to test the build 😬
Well GL, if you have any problems give me a shout :)
It’s important that your spending over 100 mana per cast. I was playing this and took a mana node that dropped me under the 100 mana break point on the helm and it kinda breaks the build
Mana usage is essential.
Excellent guide, thank you for your contribution!
One question, where does the onslaught effect in the build come from?
Silver Flask
@@ILoveMyBGE Thanks !
Keep in mind that maximum mana is essential on this build and is probably the number one contributing factor to DPS because of archmage.
It is indeed
Hey there!
SSF enjoyer here - I have most pieces of the gear except the Unnatural. I was wondering if you think I can still run the build without it or should I stay in Rogue Exile pain for awhile till I find it? Just tried joining in on the Discord as well but booted me out. Love your content!

@@FusionGaming101 I'm in! Thanks for the assist on this one. Back to rogue life it is then
I was running ziz’s build up to level 92. It had some unclear and rough parts along the way but as a starter I would recommend it. Very strong early on and walks you through. However, this build has been the most powerful I have felt in this game so far. And tanky. I don’t even have a red nightmare yet. Initially when I switched to it, it was really slow and it felt like a terrible mistake. However I swapped out some lightning damage from the guide for cast speed instead, I use spell echo on frostblink for the cast speed (has more than faster cast), and my dps and utility went up by a lot. I see almost 500k on the in game tool tip now. Ziz’s topped out at over 200k for me. Thanks man. Anyone tried testing ralekash, badge of brotherhood and one of the charge belts with this yet?
Also don't forget to take that lightning mastery node up top for increased maximum effect of shock. Was missing a ton of DPS because I skipped over it....but it can add 5-10m DPS depending on if you go from 0 to 50% shock effect in POB. Everything except maybe T17 bosses and ubers (or monsters/maps with some sort of shock resistance mods) should be shocked at much greater effect after that.
In practice you're never going to hit 50% shock effect on everything, but the node ensures that those enemies which are vulnerable are hit with the full 50% effect.
did this build few days back only change made was went with defence gems like frost shield on shield and stuff couldn't be more happier feel tanky as well as amazing dps Thank you very much Brother!
Your welcome pal 👍
Awesome guide dude. Thanks!
I transitioned to this build. It’s probably only worth 15 div. Everything basic. What would you recommend to upgrade first?
Chest then helmet and shield double corrupt and then work from there.
Have to give credit where it’s due, swapped to this build from zizs and got lucky with a ring, I’m called res on everything, 8/8 charges, and not even corrupted my chest yet and I breezed through Uber elder, t17s and maven. Gotta say best build I’ve used.

Hey man, how would you level this build? I have hiero at 75 level currently and I am wondering what to prioritize first - I'd love to start working towards this as soon as possible, not far away at 97 :D Do you have any tips/suggestions pls? :)
hi great guide! thx ! you didn't mentioned the bandits during the campaign, should we kill them?
his POB shows that they are all killed for one passive point. But don't be afraid to use Alira if you need help capping resistance or Kraityn for more movement speed either if you find the need.
Its up to you, if you need the resists then help alira.
Thx man, this build's comfortable standard is as high as Phox's RF build I believe.
I find a little adjustment might be useful, instead of hast,I use frostblink of winterblast+spell echo + faster cast,I believe this is faster ouo
A Kitava Thirst with lightning leech and +1 power charge got listed an hour ago for 399 div
There is no need for Lightning leech on helmet. You can get that cheap on glove implicit. The Power Charge is the important one. You can get that for 5D.
Very nice build i will try it out. You have an amazing comfortable Voice….you should become a voice actor…..
Thanks Jem and I did try but no one wanted me
Might be too late, but what would you change if you were to slap a mageblood on this
This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing. May I ask if you considered adding Cold Snap to the shield set up? You could have 3 frenzy charges with high uptime while mapping which adds a lot of DPS to the build.
No ..try it let me know
@@FusionGaming101 I will. I use an automated Cold Snap on my current build (bleed glad) and it keeps the Frenzy charges up the entire map. You won't have them for bossing though, so it may be worth swapping the gem for a really big boss. Luckily Cold Snap is a blue gem so it can swap in and out with one of the lighting skills (or even sigil).
@ILoveMyBGE like I said those three shield gems are not fixed in stone.
Dexterity can definitely roll on the Paladin Boots and ideally endgame you'll want a Mageblood :)
Yes.. that's super end end game
you mind giving us your regex for T16 and T17? Thank you so much for this guide. Spent my game time the last few days following it meticulously!
Avoid reflect / reduced AOE / reduced effect curse auras / cannot regen life usual
Hey @Fusion Gaming Than you for the build! It's really enjoyable! I was wondering, do you have any regex for T16 and T17, and if so, would you share please? :) And do you have a favourite T17 map for this build?
Your welcome and no just no Ele reflect and no regen are impossible with out changes to the build. Reduced effect of curses, hex proof, reduced effect of block and no leech can be very difficult to deal with but not impossible. I reroll all these mods.
hey bro. i basically finished your build with almost the same exact items. is there anything i can change or add to make the build better?
Not really... just min max.
It's a great video for this meta build, i have a question about ailment, ailment imune is a goal or the build is tanky enough ?
As alwasy, it depends on what you want to do. I am shooting for ailment immunity myself using a Mageblood that I am saving up for. That being said, I am closing in on level 99 and never worry about dying in the maps I run, but if you want to run the hardest maps and content, getting Ailment Immunity, Stun Immunity and Curse Immunity would be three very nice defensive layers to have on top of what is already a tanky build.

the pob i try to post is in aurius98 youtube video called "Poe 3.25 - Archmage Ice nova of Frostbolts - T17 Fortress full clear showcase - 60k gold" maybe u can check it out this way if its ok to relate to another youtuber here.
thx
@@danielglaner5484 I'll check
Hey I am a super new player and I just found your guide which helps alot. Because I just started mapping and finished the white ones I am still broke as hell. What do you think is this first thing i should focus on in your build? When do I respecc my atlas board - I guess its really cost expensive? I wanted to aim for "legion" as endgame because it's the first thing I understood, is this viable?
Yes and focus on buying the gear
Very good video man! I didn't understand how to get both attack and spell blocking at 88%-87%, currently I have 60-61% with the 'Rumi Concotion' active. what am I forgetting or not seeing?
You need the Svalinn unique shield to raise your block into the high 80's once you cap at 65. If you already have the shield, then make sure you have allocated the correct tattoos around the Red Nightmare jewel.
Ye what he said.. Tattoos bridge the gap to 65/64 .. then the Lucky element pushes you to 88/87.
ty so much guys :D
Thanks for the build, i went from constantly dying to with Ziz build to dying once cos i took took many bad alters :D
that Ziz build what a trap.
@@iZealotas always
After running simulacrum, I found a hole in the build I needed to fix for my game play. It never happens in mapping but in the ultra hectic nature of Simulacrum, I was not able to see my ES recharge when engaged. I made some small tree changes to get ES leech and 10% instant leech, and I stayed capped off all the time, and also instant recovery from when Frost Shield proc. I was able to complete Simulacrum deathless with this change.
Nice idea and change.. see the build isn't perfect but together we can send me an updated POB
hey dude, i'm planning to try simulacrum next week, can you give me your pob to do the changes you made?
would love to see what you changed to allow this as well, that leech is one thing i miss from ziz's build.
@@malkora up
@@malkora hey, i made some changes and closed simulacrum, when the server is back i'l post the pob link here. i don't configured, is just to you see which changes i made to close the content
Great to see you're still responding to comments here. I have a new player question. I already have a LS slayer starter that does T16.
Now I'm somewhat eager to try this build because it looks fun and it's on the other side of the tree but idk if that's dumb and instead I should just farm currency with my LS slayer and put together an endgame build with it. Or is this an endgame build? It's titled best build of the league so.. I guess it is? And my LS slayer potentially is too..? I'm confused about the starter / endgame names that builds have lol. In my head I always thought of RF or bow builds (tornado shot) being endgame because they are so expensive..?
This is an end game build but you can get it together for 20-30 divine
Sub just for the creativity of showcasing the build at the beginning. Everyone just shows them running a T16 and its like bro, any build with 4-5 div can do that, show me something I'd be impressed with.
just to note, the beginning of the video is actually a mistake. He highlights that he is missing 50% of his damage because he is in an Expedition where they are immune to cold damage. However the build is almost entirely lightning damage so being immune to cold barely effects the build's damage output.
@@ILoveMyBGE that's fine. The compliment was on the creativity of showing something other than just a T16.
As you can see from the video, it's a multi-divine thing, once you've got the hang of it. I'm going to stick with my current stuff for the time being, just to build up a little reserve before switching to this one a little later on :) Very nice video
I currently have around 45 div saved. I think I may try for 100 divs before switching to this. That amount, I think, should get a decent version of this build but will not include the double corrupts and Awakened Spell Echo.
Well said!
God I wish this had a leveling guide!
It only costs 20D to get all gear
How does DPS compare to Ziz' version? I'm considering switching to this build, looks good!
один из самых лучших гайдов по билдам что я видел, ну и сам билд огонь!
😊 thanks
I like your build!
32% chaos res (in your POB) is this critical for the build?
It helps with survability... as all Chaos Res Does..
@@FusionGaming101 one thing players may consider is, if they feel Frost Blink of WB is good enough for movememt, they could maybe replace the quicksilver flask with an Amethyst flask.
Awesome Build TYVM, btw can you put what you need in the double corruption items please?
I already added that, its on the POB
He came through. Sorry we rushed you. But you came through. #proud
Told you i would :)
Very thorough guide with detailed information about setup. As newcomer to POE i highly appreciate such style, no need to guess why this particular skill/item was taken and how it benefits the whole idea. Stumbled on this video after I suprisingly saw on poe ninja that huge chunk of frostnova mages run absolutely different version rather than ziza/goratha and was like "what the heck is that one". Now i get it.
Also got a question: does basic version of items without corruption(including lvl 21 gems)is more or less able to handle the high end content? Or it's more like for the most ideal setup which would clear t16/17s even faster than ever?
Ye all basic gear zero corruptions can do T16 / T17 and pinnacle bosses.
Welp, just like how a bunch of people are already saying in the comments, I did a full respec from Zizaran's version and this feels so much better in terms of survavility. The difference is day and night. Sold everything i was using for the previous version of the build and reinvested the divines on this version (Probably around 13 to 15 divines)
Nice GJ
Paladin boots are str int base, nad can hence only roll int and str.
The Harvest enchant only buffs the local damage of the weapon as far as I know. So it doesnt do anything because Void Battery only has Phys Damage
it took a day to get from 30-95 and get most geared, got a mageblood and optimized around the flasks, im eating ubers, not at this level but its an impressive build even at half its full power
Thanks exile, hope it helps.
Tried the switch to the shield for max block and got way tankier, thx for that. Still got a question: how do i sustain the mana ? I skilled all the recover/manareg/10%procc nodes like all the others but i have consistently the problem of running oom; currently im at ~6,5k max mana.
If you go into his POB, go to the calcs window. Go to the Mana pane and then hover your mouse over "Recovery". That will show your all the sources of Mana Recovery on gear and on tree. There are many. You can also add one more source if these are not enough for you. Remove the Elemental Mastery that inverts resists (we don't want that in our build), and replace it with a Mana Mastery that says "10% of Damage taken recouped as Mana"
thankyou dude @ILovemyBGE hahaha you are right again. There is many sources of mana regene / mana reduction and mana recoup in the build.
you dont need power charge on crit lvl21 it adds nothing, you set count 8 because every time u cast u cast on 4 balls = 4 and then spell echo makes it repeat automatically again so thats 2x4=8, but you're only casting once not twice. for instance if you use pledge of hands which adds another 2 repeats you will cast once on the balls and it will repeat 4 times which makes your cast time insanely fast since u're only casting once but u are doing insane damage cause its repeated 4 times
However with Pledge you are stood in place like a sitting duck while the pledge casts and casts and casts... i used Pledge with a Ball Lightning build back in ritual league and that was awesome, however the stuck in place for like 1.1 second while you cast was annoying.
Hope people are aware you need to be running shock immune and reduced curse effect on flasks. Not running ailment immunity these are required along with the pantheon mentioned.
why do we have rage on attack hit on the gloves implicit?
Looks great, can’t wait to try 😊
We don't ... pobb.in/eH74QmjFtySp think you maybe looking at the wrong POB
