what's your build for lb? like its not the most meta skill but it should be fine

lightning blast
slim orchid
are you feeling slow on clear or on single targets?
gilded hare
lol
feeling slow on both, if I can get it good for clear that would be ideal, then I can figure something else out for single targets
here's my tree:
weary hamlet
yea man that's a bit unfocused, what's your goal with it? clear? single target/
?
nvm
for clear you want to ditch closed circuit it was nerfed into the ground, focus on multicast and more modifiers
get the 100% more in the upper part of the tree, perhaps by ditching spark nova too
that's more of a node for focal blast or channeled lb, hard cast lb doesn't leverage it as much
and you path through a useless node to get there
tbh focal blast would be improved a great deal if you didnt need to path through three useless nodes if you build it but that's a different discussion
topaz sphinx
How's your mana?
No Mana Strike, no Focus? Legit, I would go for mana efficiency nodes on all of my damage skills.

harsh abyss
Is Meteor top-tier yet?
No but it's certainly playable.
Vilatria meteor is probably really strong this league. Not a lot of people playing mage by comparison to other stuff right now though, just because of the sentinel + heartseeker new hotness and light mage nerfs
terse parrot
im planning on switching to a meteor build once ive fleshed out a few items with shatterstrike

The new set crafting for Vilatria has HUGE potential
and I think the base staff got buffed regardless
tulip tundra
Is the dot from Snap Shock node for Snap Freeze supposed to be useful in any way? I'm not understanding why it ticks for like 2-4 dmg
harsh abyss
I don't think it's supposed to add a DoT, it's supposed to add hit damage per stack of shock on the target
Are you potentially applying a stack of frostbite or something?
tulip tundra
No it's meant to add a DoT, I'm just confused as to why it's so weak:
harsh abyss
Yeah, 4 lightning damage for each second it would have frozen the target
But disables the actual freeze
tulip tundra
Yes, I'm just questioning the actual number. 4 dmg a sec would be irrelevant at lvl 1
harsh abyss
It's not damage per second. It 4 damage "per second it would have frozen" not "4 damage per second" it would have frozen
harsh abyss
It's hit damage based on the amount of freeze duration the skill has
tulip tundra
Reading comprehension fail
harsh abyss
So if you take the nodes that extend the freeze, those instead increase the flat damage of the skill
tulip tundra
Yeah thanks, I get it now :) Embarrased!
harsh abyss
It's okay, it's a weird node 😝
Plus I think it's mostly a travel node to Spark Surge. 50% more damage per stack of shock (500% more damage total) is pretty meaningful
tulip tundra
Yeah, feels like that's the more relevant node
harsh abyss
TBH though I feel like that branch isn't really used much. Snap freeze is strong because it's a guaranteed freeze for a few seconds, even on (most) bosses

i was confused since i saw a build on maxwell which recommends this weap but since shatter strike doesnt use the throw passive xD
harsh abyss
Even without the throw passive it's a good weapon. High flat melee damage, increased attack speed, bonus levels to melee attacks, all REALLY strong
And it's a WW item, so if you random into strong affixes, it can be really good

yea mate this has a lot of problems, even at a high level just raw dogging black hole for DOT damage is pretty bad. You can try using it in ignite version but that is still rather bad so you shouldn't. If you want to build a disintegrate build, you should build that skill completely differently, by focusing on damage modifiers mostly
at a high level of analysis I mean, in-game its bad at any level

for passive trees, preparation is a bad investment per point, drop it. Cast speed has no effect on disintegrate or black hole. 5 in Arcane Warden - solid. 5 in Sphere of Protection - you want to make it 8, this is powerful. Sorc tree - mostly good, but Afterglow has low value for your build, try to put those points elsewhere. Also penetration is more or less equivalent to same amount of more damage, so max out on Lavamancer (or its equivalents for other damage types for other builds). Also I don't like Dragonbreath since its a huge point sink, try finding the points to allocate to Spell Slinger and Archmage (unless you are building ailments) and Mana Bulwark, damage to mana is a good defensive layer

in your situation yes, you don't want to increase your current health in any way since that reduces your ward per second
you can also now disable auto consume of health pots, you should do that too

Yeah I did disable that. Also why Spell Slinger / Archmage? I get like 60 flat from wand, they seem bad
Also mana bulwark is ass considering I am low life right

they are probably not great in your build as it is now, but generally speaking, archmage is 15 flat for 5 points, with a wand that's like 25% more damage

Where did you find that information at specifically? I was actually trying to find that information more recentyl.
half pollen
well I got it wrong, but here is where I look:
but this is without ignite from fireball nodes and without conditional ignites
you have 60% skilled in fireball and your helmet gives 139% ignite chance for fire skills
and because of the "for fire skills" condition it is not included in the sheet
so its sadly a little tricky, but lucky for you fireball is one of the few skills with a working damage calculation
so there you have your actual ignite chance
stoic vault
Ah. perfect.
tardy pewter
Is there a Runemaster build that revolves around casting many different spells or benefits from it?
stoic vault
So follow up, if my ignite chance is over 100%, does that even do anything or no?
harsh abyss
yes, if you have 415% ignite chance when you hit, you'll apply 4 stacks of ignite and have 15% chance to apply a 5th stack
Stacking huge ailment chance is one of the best ways to scale DoT damage

Perfect. I was unsure if that was the case but it seemed like it.

Which again, is fine. If you have the patience for it
But I feel like a sitting duck while channeling
And just want to zoom, especially on an auto bomber
molten cobalt
it caps at 80%, not acts as a x0,8 modifier?
uncut zealot
Correct. Fixes it at 80
molten cobalt
oh
half pollen
I did too but not at 80% move speed haha
This starts to feel ok with 100% increased movement speed and perma haste, but before that its a real slog
uncut zealot
I suppose haste could help yeah
Honestly, I just went frost claw lightning concert self cast
And it was great
molten cobalt
could get boots with experimental stat for haste
and then the 2 seconds after exiting flame rush
those 2 would give perma uptime

Always more efficient to invest in one form of damage than splitting it

doesnt matter much for anything

Corruption is meaningless
Other than difficulty and pushing

it's just e-penis measuring

And nobody likes to run easy mode content all the time

you wont notice a difference
LE is a very good game for simply playing what you enjoy
whole sapphire
If thats the case, how is a runemaster different from a sorc?
molten cobalt
you are not punished for enjoying something not cutting edge
whole sapphire
I thought runemaster had more options
molten cobalt
If thats the case, how is a runemaster different from a sorc?
runemaster can get more ward, easier
theyre just different is all
whole sapphire
I see. So more survivability. But sorc prolly has more damage then?
half pollen
Different passives and 3 unique skills is what Sets runemaster apart. Nothing more
molten cobalt
sorc and RM seems pretty comparable atm, just different builds favor diff ascendancies
whole sapphire
Ughh missed opportunity. I really thought rm is the kind of class that can use many skills at once
whole sapphire
What i mean is i thought ill be casting different invocations depending on the situation. It turns out i need to master just one
molten cobalt
one per situation, yes
one for aoe, one for single target, one for defensive and so on

hello, why cant i craft strengh on helmet? for mage

one for aoe, one for single target, one for defensive and so on
Ohhhhhhh so ill still do various invocations nice
Its just that i need to focus on 1 main damage skill?
molten cobalt
Ohhhhhhh so ill still do various invocations nice
you can, if you want to set it up that way, but it seems rather annoying
but then you either need to rearrange your skill bar
or have manual invocation
as in manually pressing correct order

as in manually pressing correct order
Isnt this fun? My rm is still low level so im not sure yet

Ohhhhhhh so ill still do various invocations nice
U can be invoker, but just tedious since u need to manually press the order urself

i'm seeing those brand theory craftings doing really poorly relatively speaking. maybe they got bad luck on gear
mostly concerned about high end game

Depends on how high you're planning to push

maybe 1000. i dunno im just seeing these mages around 200-300 while sentinesl are 1200
outlook seems poor
junior coral
i know but i want to just be OP in this game since in POE2 im kind of playing a shitter class already
does mage just not have a OP build this season?

i thought it was so you could mix and mash diff sets
and still get set bonuses
even though you have missmatching pieces
uncut zealot
Nah it shatters the set. Giving you the stats of the time
outer jetty
I got the shard tho
the shard on helmet is only worth if you get the mod to t7 (at least that's what frozen said)

nothing i would ever use
just collected a bunch of shit instead of selling to vendor
but if i understand you correctly
tired umbra

got any good suggestions on slams? if you have already thought about it
harsh abyss
You can also craft 1 level of the set affix and seal it, then have 2 good affixes.
The dream is a t7 with an open prefix, craft the set bonus, seal it, then craft a new t5 affix
harsh abyss
Gonna take lucky drops or runes of removal
tired umbra
got any good suggestions on slams? if you have already thought about it
What slams?
harsh abyss
Depends on the build you're trying to do. Vilatria and shattered lance are clear wins, as is the invoker set
molten cobalt
What slams?
which set pieces to shatter and then craft with
tired umbra
I alr have the shattered one
I just need to find a helm with str
And empty slot
Then i just use the shard on it
harsh abyss
Last bear also looks good.
You can also use Rune of Havok to get t7 on a a set affix
harsh abyss
You HAVE to use a staff though. But crafting it on a dragon staff or something be REAL strong
molten cobalt
oh
uncut zealot
Yeah
molten cobalt
thats a bummer
uncut zealot
You can also use Rune of Havok to get t7 on a a set affix
Interesting…
harsh abyss
Feasibly up to +100 spell damage on an int stacker though, on top of what the dragon staff already gives

More reasonable is 50-75 flat damage with 100-150 int, that should be easily achievable.

Have to go sorc. Can’t be rune master
You dont have to be sorc to use the staff
uncut zealot
Meteor is sorc only
harsh abyss
You just dont cast meteor
uncut zealot
Oh that’s the whole build tho XD
harsh abyss
The set bonus is good on any mage
uncut zealot

harsh abyss
Plus, you can always trigger unspecc'd meteors
uncut zealot
I’m sick of dot
uncut zealot
My meteor build using true vilatria was at 6m dps
I think that can be 15-20m
I think we go mana/int stacking meteor sorc
Put those mods on a busted staff/helm

No idea whats going on but i need a guide if someone finds smth good xd

sharp quest
Allo people, was playing runemaster lightning and saw that when i killed some enemies i got orbs like gliding around in the map, cant pinpoint to what could be doing that, any ideas? >.< is it a crit type thingy? or due to static discharge lightning blast

titan heart also has +30-40% health written on it

molten cobalt
which build
severe hatch
brand
molten cobalt
you need to reroll the necro damage and pray for lightning then
then add lightning pen suffix
what tier is the necro dmg?
might ne easier to seal it
severe hatch
t1
molten cobalt
then i would seal it
and add on lightning dmg
sealing has very good chance on a t1
t3 is where it gets iffy
dont forget to use glyph of hope
severe hatch
alrighty
severe hatch
the best order is: slam pen til t5 > seal necrotic > add lightning damage?
half pollen
sealing has very good chance on a t1
100% at t1
half pollen
Seal and add lightning first

guys is this nice for like a lightning blast build, considering that I can reduce the cost of lightning blast to 0 with sceptres
or is it too weak to like lategame scale

dont do pen first
severe hatch
alright
molten cobalt
100% at t1
didnt know it was 100%, thats nice

need some pen first
molten cobalt
assumed it was in the ballpark of 75-90%

didnt know it was 100%, thats nice
Only for exalts with 4 affixes though
Less than 4 or on a rare its not 100%
molten cobalt
oh i see
half pollen
Yeah to be very safe
severe hatch
add pen > seal necro > add lightning
molten cobalt
good point
severe hatch
then slam pen > slam lightning
molten cobalt
but keep pen at t1
severe hatch
oh
half pollen
94,5% with 3 affixes
molten cobalt
you cant slam lightning
severe hatch
by slam I mean
molten cobalt
until you seal
molten cobalt
94,5% is pretty much 100%
severe hatch
try to go for t5 lightning then t5 pen
molten cobalt
ye
half pollen
94,5% is pretty much 100%
I had days where I failed like 10 t2 seals in a row, anything below 100% can Ruin my day
molten cobalt
to be safe i guess add pen > seal necrotic > add lightning dmg
but only t1 pen
just to get 100%
