[3.10] LL Storm Brand Hierophant 8k+ ES, 10k Mana, 10M+ DPS per brand
" Agreed without watcher eye this build is low of ES. Watcher eye is super expensive.. even got 1mod for ES + 1 trash mod is like 33ex min( current price ).. About the 2nd low lvl Wave of Conviction honestly I dont know to put what gem there to boost up my survivability Sometimes i just too ahead from my Storm Brand maybe of Too much Movement Speed .. and it pain to cast Storm brand( 8k Mana Per cast ) and if i getting big hit surely i will die. Or better I revert back using Sanctuary of Thought. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย fexilex#0194 เมื่อ 30 เม.ย. 2020 09:02:19

" It seems if you don't have enough mana to cast storm brand once with archmage, then archmage won't apply to the socketed skill. Even if i unslot to cast, and reslot, my dps with those brands is abysmal until I bring down mana cost just enough to cast it. |

" May I suggest one of these: Has been working for me in emergency situations where I can't take Archmage out. Cast Storm Brand once. Pop Lavianga's. Cast other 5 Storm Brands mana free and continue to run around. It's extra nice if you have Arcane Chemistry anointed. |

" Correct, that's explicitly stated in the tooltip of the gem: Supported Skills gain Added Lightning Damage equal to (70-127)% of Mana Cost, if Mana Cost is not higher than the maximum you could spend |

" You sir have made my life 100% easier.. Why didn't I know about that flask. It's such a hassle, losing a brand and almost at the limit on mana cost. This makes it a breeze also to start maps or during sirus fights where for some reason I sometimes lose a brand. Or randomly, not sure why. I was pulling my hair out even willing to sacrificy 7 mil dps per brand because of this and go back to sanctuary. Cheap, efficient and cool! I like it! Even though you are not doing any damage during flask effect, it is still usefull I think แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย Zweetsok#4583 เมื่อ 30 เม.ย. 2020 15:54:31

What do you think about running headhunter on this build? Made 80ex in 4 days with this build but debating skipping the watchers eye and getting a HH.

" Never had a HH, so I can't truly appreciate how much damage it might add. That said, skipping Watcher's Eye presumably means you will not switch Sanctuary of Thought to Arcane Blessing. That switch would roughly double your damage output, as well as provide immunity to elemental ailments. Which in turn makes it easier to drop Dream Fragments for a Cerulean Ring. Moreover, using HH means you skip using a rare Stygian Vise. This means you typically lose mana, energy shield, some 140-150% resists and an abyssal socket, which in turn likely means missing out on a phasing jewel and some additional stats. From this is mainly be concerned about the resistances; this build used a ton of uniques, meaning you have limited spots to cap them. Belt is currently my primary slot for that (other slots are the rings, but Cerulean rings with very high Res and other desirable stats are very pricey). So you might have to make further changes to the build to hit the Res caps. So concluding overall, I believe there's been people in this thread who made it work, and it's probably a fun experience. But it does not seem to be the most efficient use of currency to me. |

If I don't wish to run Lightning Golem in boots, what can I swap it with ? Vaal RF ? CWDT doesnt work with Vaal right ?

" No you only want to be using Vaal RF not regular RF because it will kill you. but yeah.. CWDT-immortal call/tempest shield, whatever actually.. low level arcane cloak, (vaal) coldsnap, etc... See you haven't taken arcane blessing which not only would make you ailment immune but would also free up another gem slot in your gloves with that low level arcane surge. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย Zweetsok#4583 เมื่อ 1 พ.ค. 2020 03:35:16
