uncut zealot
harsh abyss
#

slender sedge
#

@uncut zealot this is how I fish for crafting bases lol

uncut zealot
#

haha

#

to each their own

slender sedge
#

I just put in whatever im hunting for

uncut zealot
#

do you use a shatter filter?

slender sedge
#

yea

#

thing is

#

im torn on how to build now

#

I need defences

#

and I got enough dmg... for now

uncut zealot
#

can you send me ur shatter filter

#

it drops so many damn items

slender sedge
#

but building ward is so ass I feel

uncut zealot
#

this is what i use

uncut zealot
#

where as before, it was op jsut being there

slender sedge
#

why do you think I want vulkaur base lmao

uncut zealot
#

i might amke this shatter filter 2 affixes

slender sedge
#

comes with ton of ward

uncut zealot
#

so shatters are more efficient

#

cuz i hate shattering 10x per mono

slender sedge
#

this is mine

#

I also filtered out mage specific for shit I dont run

#

like meteor level

#

and surge

uncut zealot
#

ima steal that

lean fractal
#

didnt find any in youtube, with wand or helmet

harsh abyss
#

Nah, but every skill I have is lightning, so +3 to lightning skills is like 60% more damage to my main dps skill

uncut zealot
#

hwo to hide all sets lol

#

cant just hide set affix and hiding rarity isnt an option for sets

slender sedge
#

scroll down on rarity

uncut zealot
#

oh.......

#

yikes

slender sedge
#

idk why we cant simply

#

see all

uncut zealot
#

tf are legendaries

slender sedge
#

unique + stats

uncut zealot
#

ahhh

slender sedge
#

bro its literally called

#

legendary potential

#

xD

uncut zealot
#

.....

#

its late, ok

slender sedge
#

fair enough

#

damn we cant sort affixes by prefix-suffix

#

what do I add to my relic to tank up

#

more health?

uncut zealot
#

1300 hp hahahah

#

ye get that up

slender sedge
#

time to hunt for health relics lol

#

gotta upgrade with something good

#

if I guarantee health and some goodies on the side that would be neat

#

time to rig the game a little

uncut zealot
#

mannnn im just tryna farm on my rogue

#

so squishy

#

lvl 55 in 90 monos but still

steel ridge
#

dude the mana nerfs to frost claw --- is ANYONE playing "A Crack in the Ice" ? I don't see how XD

uncut zealot
#

can get it down to like 7.3 per cast

slender sedge
#

damn no matter how many times I run it

#

I love temporal sanctum

350 CORRUPT

#

all timeline

tired hound
#

Is abyone playing spellblade and doing like 200 corruption with ease here? Need some tips

trim imp
#

anyone got a sample spellblade surge I could take a look at before I decide on if I am making another beastmaster or sentinel to go melee crit with?

thorny holly
#

Looking at playing a mage. What build should I do? I’ve only ever played rogue. Do I do spellblade or runemaster?

slender sedge
#

man screw those weaver possessed mobs

ivory atlas
#

i'm at 360 corrupt with this

slender sedge
#

bro teleports mid tail slam animation

#

undodgeable bonk

ivory atlas
slender sedge
#

lmfao

thorny holly
ivory atlas
#

very good

uncut zealot
#

lmao

#

we knew shatter was gonna be theb build

#

i wonder if flame reave has a chance at being good

#

flame reave rune master.. getting huge lightning converted flame reaves to spread the brand

#

o.o

ivory atlas
uncut zealot
#

crazy lol

trim imp
#

but yeah if anyone has played surge as melee crit was considering that over shatter strike, if surge is capable I may give that a go for doing some corruption, otherwise might just default to beastmaster.

slender sedge
#

shit like this

#

is why we need balance

#

because why the fk should I even try to level my runemage now

#

when I know someone pulls up

#

and slams their head into the controls

#

and does 20x my dps

#

no offense to you btw this is design failure, not yours

trim imp
#

or a lack of design on other skills

uncut zealot
#

to be fair, mage just sucks. every other class can do that im sur elol

#

shatter striek is just the one thing mage has going for it r

#

rn

ivory atlas
#

all class is good but need gear lel

#

all build too just u want play meta or take fun with try ur build

uncut zealot
#

rune master aint good lol

trim imp
#

well I cant talk about it since I have not played it yet

slender sedge
#

its a numbers game, you either win it or lose it

#

and mage is on the losing side rn

#

ill prob play some bg3 and see if they make mage endgame less painful

uncut zealot
ivory atlas
#

Best WEAVER tree ?

#

champ/lezard ?

slender sedge
#

I grabbed all imprints

#

and im goin for lizard stuff

slender sedge
#

and everyone else can fk off

uncut zealot
#

and rogue

#

and druid

#

and acolye

#

seems to be doing very well

#

it literally is the 'not runemaster league'

#

druid won the uberroth race

#

rogue is bonkers

slender sedge
#

maaan id love to try acolyte but every time I play minions its so boring

uncut zealot
#

dont play minions lol

#

laser lich is op

slender sedge
#

nah bro I dont play S tier shit

#

call it bein hipster if you must

#

but I enjoy when game has some semblance of difficulty

uncut zealot
#

well hate to break it to ya, but cant expect to do what other shit is doing haha

slender sedge
#

but picking the absolute bottom class

#

I messed up

uncut zealot
#

cant opt into playing the worst class ever and be mad others doing more dmg

twilit matrix
#

Trying to make shatter strike with lots of procs+frostbite with the new essence weaver, seems to maybe be trying to do too much though

slender sedge
#

I mean I had my fun with it

#

maybe ill try druid

harsh abyss
#

Lol the Cenotaph of Worlds might be a bit overtuned

twilit matrix
#

Why is that?

uncut zealot
#

is that the one with firstborn?

harsh abyss
#

Yeah, with the insta-death things

#

It's just SO much damage and they stun you and kill you before the stun wears off

uncut zealot
#

yeah lol

weary wagon
#

yo

#

anyone doing frostbite frost claw?

#

this

low otter

#

Can anyone point me to resources on runemaster hydrahedron build that isn't maxroll?

#

Build guide just seems a little simplistic and would like to see variations

rugged bronze
#

Anyone got a build guide or variation on lightning related skill that they can point me to

lime tundra
#

Does this game step up in difficulty much? Just hit monoliths and everything just melts

#

Hi guys. Just wondered what sites are the better ones to be looking at for builds? I am just looking for rough ideas while building my mage alt, probably want to make a Cold based one

weary hamlet
#

IT IS COMING CHAT

#

I literally couldnt get this in three weeks last patch

#

maxroll, le tools, youtube

weary hamlet
twilit matrix
#

That does seem to be the case. I haven’t done much spellblade, wanted something different and the new item sounded fun 🤷‍♂️

harsh prawn
#

@ivory atlas how its your survival with the build?

twilit matrix
#

Spellblade needs something for the moments between packs. Not hitting stuff is huge loss in ward gen. I know you’re asking him but that’s my limited experience so far otherwise not terrible survivability

harsh prawn
#

yeah i stack as much hp as i can because ward isnt enough

#

prob want to get melee leech as a sealed affix too

ivory atlas
#

MY baby

harsh prawn
#

yeah kestrel 3lp with t7 health is a big boost in survival

#

damn nice siphon, make sure to slam a very good ring

ivory atlas
#

? or wait a 3lp?

harsh prawn
#

3lp is fairly easy, 1 in 24

fiery kiln
#

Can I someone manage to make Barrage aim ? not just fire in one direction

harsh prawn
#

i would pick t7 health instead of shatter strike

#

the build have enough dps

#

remember to use turtle+nemesis tower echo to get easy 3lp kestrel

ivory atlas
#

this on lp2

harsh prawn
#

you can reroll the inteligence for dex

ivory atlas
#

and shatter +4 on lp3?

harsh prawn
#

rune of creation

ivory atlas
#

Dex = dmg / int= ward ret for tanking

harsh prawn
#

i dont find ward ret so much value

ivory atlas
harsh prawn
#

the more you push the less ward keeps up

#

you can get runes of creation if you are cof

#

yes you are

#

get rune of creation from prophecies

ivory atlas
#

yeah right

weary hamlet
#

oof 7k hit from the archer champion with his spammable

nimble horizon
#

wat skills are viable for mana stack?

#

any that gain dmg based off mana?

weary hamlet
#

static orb but it was nerfed, also meteor chews through your mana rapidly

#

you can also stack mana for lightning disintegrate (lol)

#

and since it will cost 0 mana you can use your mana pool to tank with high amounts of damage dealt to mana

frosty obsidian
#

Hey guys, trying to homebrew a build but between me having to lvl up the skills and my build being suboptimal (still going through the campaign)
It's becoming a real struggle fest, and the campaign isn't really supposed to be that hard.
I was actually planning to try lightning disintegrate, but as mentioned. I'm massively struggling through the campaign atm.
Doesn't make the build feel nice.

#

Any tips for sorcerer builds in general or specific?

weary hamlet
#

I leveled in fire disintegrate last patch and it was a breeze, link your build - maybe you are doing something wrong

#

although lightning disintegrate is a lot worse at low max mana so I wouldnt do that

frosty obsidian
#

only 240 mana atm, so yeah. That explains that.

weary hamlet
#

in general most damage skills are viable to level with - as long as you have a solid grasp of fundamentals of itemization and skill scaling

#

for reference I wouldn't consdier swapping to lightning with less than 2-2,5k mana

#

otherwise fire is just strictly better

frosty obsidian
#

That's a good baseline tip. Should swap off lightning until my stats matchup.

nimble horizon
weary hamlet
devout pecan
#

Heya all, I'm trying to homebrew a sorcerer build using lightning blast to trigger lightning meteor on crit (with the unique belt), but my mana goes from 500 to 0 in seconds... Any tip to solve mana issue? Still leveling

#

Just stack moar mana?

weary hamlet
#

you dont solve mana issues on sorc, you just suffer

#

I've not been following meteor belt builds closely but I think the only reasonable way is if you trigger it via spamming mana strike

coral sail
#

155 levels across two mage characters: zero box of hydrae

#

Not one, not even a 0lp box

#

I am disgusted

coral sail
weary hamlet
coral sail
#

You can, it's much, much lower damage

#

Honestly one of the most unjustified nerfs this patch

weary hamlet
#

yea probably, as I said I was never much of a belt enjoyer

coral sail
#

I was going to league start it until patch notes

#

I much prefer off-meta nonsense, but that was overkilled

#

I did Disintegrate on one char and Hydrahedron on the other instead

glad beacon
#

How is runemaster doin this season

coral sail
#

Same as the rest of mage, mediocre to good depending on build

#

Right, prophecies popped, if one of these isnt' box I cry

#

0lp is better than no box

ivory atlas
#

PLS DROP me the armor lp4

coral condor
#

Is static orb meteor still playable

harsh prawn
ivory atlas
tired hound
#

@ivory atlas are you doing exacly as the guide?

harsh prawn
#

im following it and it performs very well

#

the only thing i recommend is using a normal chest/titan heart untill you have a 2lp/3lp kestrel with t7 health and 2 to shatter

tired hound
#

Fo you use the bleed relic or nah?

#

And both swords

#

Or jusr

#

1?

harsh prawn
#

relic is insane

tired hound
#

Yeah i think soo too

#

I have low dps when i unequip it

#

But seing guy above absolutely blast without it

#

Is my question for ot

#

It*

harsh prawn
#

swords you ideally want to use 2 but since its a weaver will item it can take a while to get a decent one

tired hound
#

I go two pretty nutty ones

#

Gonna ss later

harsh prawn
#

you can use crystals swords untill you get them

tired hound
#

Im on phone atm

#

Got like t7 aa i think

#

And smth like that

harsh prawn
#

nice

tired hound
#

This is one

#

And 2nd one is woth attack speed

#

And idk what else

#

Dont have a pic of it

harsh prawn
#

farming the weapon is annoying, get a decent amonut of WW and hit the roulette

#

i got one with 21 but trash rolls so

#

this is my best one

rough garnet
#

I really don’t understand the mage meteor belt nerf

#

Did they seriously see how strong sentinel and rogue are rn and were like yeah meteor has to go

stoic vault
#

Ohhhhh. I see why folks wanted to go Meteor now with the new set.

rough garnet
#

Ik they don’t do mid balance patches but does that include buffs too? Is it just going to be 3 months of shatterstrike or go home while sentinel has like 10 really good builds

tired hound
#

this is the second one

lapis sun
#

Man I’m having so much fun with shatter strike spell blade. Proc’ing so much

stoic vault
tired hound
#

any suggestions for weaver tree?

noble goblet
#

u mean the cheater?

lime mountain
#

When I search for Elemental in the guide I find nothing. Does Elemental Damange affect cold dmg?

coral sail
#

Seems unnecessarily weak compared to the new stuff. I should have known, EHG have a history of making new stuff batshit strong

scenic dock
#

are we still the best class in 1.2

fossil ibex
#

Hi! Is spellblade just shatter strike or fire nova again?

fervent ledge
#

So anyone find an OP mage build yet or is it not seeming great this season

fervent ledge
#

By a good deal

scenic dock
weary hamlet
coral sail
coral sail
#

Play a game of "find the mage masteries"

#

You get Shatter SPB which scores high on tier lists and unbelievably low on fun, then Hydrahedron RM which I've tested and... Yeah it's good against bosses, and way too many buttons for way too little payoff everywhere else

scenic dock
#

maxroll is kinda trash tbf

#

it doesnt even list the brand build

coral sail
#

Average discord user

#

Writes off whole site of highly experienced players who had test realm access to theorycraft and test because "it doesn't have one build that started a few days ago and has already been shown to have good clear but bad single target"

scenic dock
#

damn touch some grass

#

why you mad

coral sail
#

Did I hit a nerve

scenic dock
#

maxroll is gucci for blizzard games, but for LE it was trash in 1.1 aswell

coral sail
#

Looks like I did

leaden harness
#

Everyone uses the lighting runemaster build? That seems the coolest imo

fervent ledge
#

Brand dps does not seem enough for thet

fossil ibex
weary hamlet
#

although I think that I saw videos of it killing aby in under a minute which is by no means a terrible build, not anywhere near the top of course

stoic vault
#

My builds dead. 😦

I dont think I can do 100 Corruption with it right now.

coral sail
#

What is it

stoic vault
#

Ignite Fireball

coral sail
#

Oh yeah good luck hah

fossil ibex
coral sail
#

Flame reave is still a bit shit even with that

fossil ibex
#

Yeah it was back then

coral sail
#

Spellblade got nerfed a few patches back

fossil ibex
#

Couldn't kill a boss in under a minute

#

Also I was playing trap and dive bomb as my 2 main builds so everything looked terrible in comparison back then I guess

coral sail
#

Seems like heartseeker + paladin anything are those two builds this patch

#

Everything looks bleak in comparison

weary hamlet
#

are we talking about the same skill here?

coral sail
#

If it's flame reave it's a node in the skill tree that makes it return, not a unique

weary hamlet
#

yea that one I know

coral sail
#

The node decreases the damage as well, it's hilariously underpowered

fossil ibex
#

It makes it return and there was a ring that boosted it iirc

weary hamlet
#

its not underpowered though, it adds about 20% more damage for one point

coral sail
#

I need to learn an EHG lesson that new stuff = good, old stuff = not good

weary hamlet
#

maybe up to 35% more depending on your positioning relative to the boss

coral sail
#

Oh yeah in raw terms it's fine

#

In relative-to-patch terms it's poor

weary hamlet
#

that just sb in general

#

and flame reave in particular

#

like you can get it to how much flat with jasper's and stacks, 500?

coral sail
#

Sucks, I'd really like to try a firebrand/reave/surge again

weary hamlet
#

still sucks with that omegarip

#

I'm finally done with the harbs on my focal blast build and I need a break from it

#

was a slog

#

might roll an sb alt today to try a few things

#

will also check whether clotho's is better than jasper's for the build but I expect that it isnt

#

but I already have a good needle

stoic vault
#

I think I fixed my build, so thats nice.

mortal oxide
#

part of why pally is just OP at the moment is they baked a LOT of defensiveness and healing into the kit

coral sail
#

It's the insane damage numbers lmao

mortal oxide
#

yeah that's just the other part lol

coral sail
#

Plasma orb is like "look at my 20k brand ticks at 300c" and Paladin is showing 230k smite x3 per proc at 500c

mortal oxide
#

lol yeah it's gross.

#

I wanted a smooth experience this time around rather than struggle w/ Spellblade, if i am honest

coral sail
#

I prefer non-meta stuff, but it's getting harder to do that

mortal oxide
#

yep.

#

non-meta is very difficult which sucks

weary hamlet
#

which I mean for the state of 1.1 sent was very good

mortal oxide
#

because as the game develops, it will get harder and require better skill/passive synergies

#

and there is a lack of that in various specs, spellblade being a great example

mortal oxide
#

there's very little drawback

#

also, coupled w/ constant ward nerfs, classes that rely on ward or have easier times scaling ward are just overly punished

weary hamlet
grand fern
#

When making builds in this game is it good to choose either dot or crit and build around that offensively?

weary hamlet
#

also I remember people on reddit crying about the change to how was that node called again, which now has 3% flat crit on threshold

#

yea imagine getting that for free and whining about it

mortal oxide
weary hamlet
#

btw I dont remember who it was who asked yesterday for my focal blast build and discord search is turbo ass, so heres my current planner anyways

currently at 10/10 harbs

coral sail
#

Ahh fck it, gonna go do some Paladin things, meta all the wayyyyy

#

I have some fantastic idols for Spellblade as well

weary hamlet
#

I already tried paladin with a meme build and meme paladin was a lot stronger than meme mage in case you were wondering

coral sail
#

Yeah I'm gonna do off-meta pala

weary hamlet
#

my eyes bled from all the particle spam though so I dropped it for now

coral sail
#

I get too bored copying a build guide

#

But I get frustrated at being unable to clear harbs/aberoth with off-meta, it's a conundrum 😂

mortal oxide
#

I urged EHG and GGG both to NOT just re-work/launch 1 class or spec per season

#

else, we end up with the exact scenario both games are in

coral sail
#

Yeah, I agree on that

mortal oxide
#

my feedback is somewhere but i submitted it to both studios through whatever normal channels they have

coral sail
#

Acolyte next patch, hopefully Harvest gets buffed and I can do an actual melee LIch

grand fern
#

For building defense would you choose one thing like ward dodge health or split between them

mortal oxide
#

depends on the class/spec

weary hamlet
weary hamlet
mortal oxide
#

wellllllllllllllllllll

#

that's mostly crowdsourced

#

thru poe2.ninja

weary hamlet
mortal oxide
#

but the API exists if that's what you mean

#

the API exists for LE too, and it is housed inside LETools

slim orchid
#

I'm having fun

#

wonder how well Fire Orb can clear stuff if I make the shrapnels hit hard enough

mortal oxide
#

oh ya. this game is layers of having fun depending on the difficulty

weary hamlet
#

like the coverage is 5/10 but the damage is pretty good

slim orchid
#

it's not as strong as sentinel anything but it's decent

fossil ibex
#

Actual melee lich instead of lich with stuff on the side is another build I chased on launch... did not go well

tight bloom
#

my black hole is converted to fire and deals 65k damage with 90% fire pen, but when I take binary system it starts dealing 130k with 0 cold pen, isn't the number supposed to be lower since 50% of fire damage is converted to cold and I have no cold pen as opposed to fire pen? it seems somewhat broken if I don't miss anything

lime tundra
#

how is spellblade? new to the game and just got to monoliths with runemage, clear speed is great atm but i keep getting all these crazy spellblade weapons dropping and want to try em out. do you need to fully change how you gear overall beside weapons?

weary hamlet
grand fern
#

I would guess you'd probably need to change gear a bit to focus more on melee instead of spell damage going from runemaster to spellblade?

weary hamlet
#

when it comes to gear it's more on a build per build basis rather than class basis

yes

tired hound
#

but how

#

oh

#

omg

#

im dumb

#

its an idol

#

xD

weary hamlet
#

stack fire aura over 9000 and use void volcanic orb as finisher

#

lol

pseudo sparrow
#

with that one chest piece?

#

is it somewhat rf build then?

#

also how to scale it

#

it has only aoe tag

weary hamlet
#

its anti-rf

#

starcraft level apm

#

or just hold the mouse button I guess

pseudo sparrow
#

what glyph?

#

i just wanna spam volcanic orb

weary hamlet
#

it's just gonna suck with that spear, no two ways around it

open idol
#

I'm playing a lightning blast/volc orb build this season and it's definitely starting to fall off towards end-game.

#

Granted it's not the most cohesive and I have very little idea on how to spec/gear for it, lol

open idol
#

Only orb, kept LB as lightning

spare lion
#

Hello, i have a problem, i play an runemaster, and suddely i can only gain 1 rune Max, anyone has an idea what i did wrong maybe ?

weary hamlet
open idol
#

Nostalgia gaming... Replicating my old charges bolt/forb sorc from d2

spare lion
weary hamlet
#

using two elements is just pointlessly spreading your point/item budget thin

#

then the whole VO/LB build kinda makes sense if you spec orb for single target damage and LB for clear

open idol
#

The nodes to convert both in passive tree seemed lackluster

#

Compared to the benefits from their own skill tree conversions

silent flax
#

a question is the build mage spark charge still good in season 2?
what the build is that is still from 1.1patch.

weary hamlet
weary hamlet
#

you can still kinda play it with static orb but it's not even remotely close to the OP shit that you could pull off before

#

as SO is like 5-10 hits per cast at best and at a significant mana cost

#

you can also still play some of the older builds that used LB or mana strike to apply spark charges as Enigma is still a thing, but then again, those are nowhere close to 1.1 era builds

slate obsidian
#

Is there a build that does chain lightning

weary hamlet
#

chain LB isnt that terrible for clear, but it runs into one small problem. If you are using it for clear, it does zero damage to single targets, so what's your solution for that?

#

you can try idk something like LLL invo on RM

#

but that's a little close to scraping the bottom of the barrel

buoyant creek
#

man I really wish we had some way to get Firebrand to get 10 mana cost rn

#

and not through Pyre

slender sedge
#

Lightning+Cold incvocation chain clears
Cold + Lightning is aoe nuke

#

LLL invo is more to end bosses and stationary things

harsh abyss
#

Channeled LB works well for clear, with Halo Effect, so far

slender sedge
#

ngl didnt explore channel variant

#

mostly averse to rooting myself to do dps

weary hamlet

you CANNOT make is as good

weary hamlet
#

no no you are thinking backwards, that's not the goal

#

the goal is to use chain LB

#

of course the number one solution is not to use chain LB

#

but we arent discussing that

slender sedge

but why would you shoot someone with a nerf gun

when the class offers ak47

I understand the goal

#

im questioning the goal

weary hamlet

of course it's a meme

black hole is so bugged, but in a good way, I just got x43 more multiplier on bh tree, it melts single target, but what can I use for clear? things I scale are fire damage and dot, disintegrate does low damage and is clunky even with maxed intensify and resurgence, don't know if sorc got any other fire dot spell

weary hamlet
#

but even a very optimistic quick math doesnt give me more than x24

#

even less than that with a reasonable amount of points

tight bloom
# weary hamlet x43 more in black hole? Do continue

here's my tree, black hole is bugged currently, binary system's cold star does no damage, but it's more multiplier applies to fire star, I then take singularity and bh summons only fire star and more multiplier is applied to that fire star

weary hamlet
#

but come on 1/5 in the ignite node? that aint an ignite hole build

tight bloom
weary hamlet
#

ah ok

#

I misread then

tight bloom
weary hamlet
#

if a bug is not fixed after 6 years, that's more of a feature

weary hamlet
tight bloom
#

they even buffed this skill in this patch and didn't even test it or changed text

weary hamlet
#

I'll still test the buffed glass cannon later in this patch

#

got a few other builds to run first

tight bloom
tight bloom
weary hamlet
#

you get a bit more with this setup

weary hamlet
#

maybe ele dot scaling will be enough for that to be viable for clear i.e. fire frost claw

#

then you can supplement that with black hole for rares/bosses

#

I stacked cdr to bring bh to 3.2 seconds cd with x20, but even on 3.2 cd it felt slow on clear

pretty sure it can

or it wouldnt wrap around

it does weird shit but it wont do damage twice

the official discord might be the wrong adress

so this is a flat out lie then?

no its your reading capabilites

that says it just allows you to use them

because under normal conditions you probably cant use flasks

this is for auto-consume pots from the ground when you are missing any health

useful for low life builds

or that

they "can" be used

not you use them

which part of this says "only while your belt if full"

what guido said

where does it say "you"

Hey guys im new to the game, are all of the mage builds on maxroll usually the place to go for a guide? I really like the sound of this static orb endgame but everything i look up is out of date by months and im unsure if they have been changed.

last epoch builds is where they all go default

maxroll is trash dont use it

mellow zealot
#

Yea i do hear quite a bit of backlash on some of their guides but mage seems underplayed so it's quite hard to find a build to try

#

thats why i linked that static orb /glacier but it's from last season so im unsure

#

but i mean the glacier sorc guide on maxroll sounds super cool and the video looks fun but even that vid linked to the s2 guide is like 9 moinths old lol

uncut zealot

if its linked o the s2, it means it has been updated to fit s2

mellow zealot

yea cool guess ill try give that build a go then cheers

weary hamlet

yea fair enough

just sucks that there isnt really a lot of s2 content out for mage thats all

also yeah for instance there is the endemic SB issue of no build variety, had been present more or less since day 1 of the class

#

not addressed in a meaningful way in 4 years

ah well

hopefully this glacier sorc build slaps and i can be happy either way

looks super fun on the 1.1 vid thats linked so heres hoping it got better

Hydrahedron is so bad on that fight, so many adds = hydra doesn't fire at the queen much

these days it might be more playable with the general power creep

The 'hit' part (fck knows how this works) triggers Orian's Descent, which triggers smite

Let's say you wanna summon a skeleton. You equip a helm that will give a huge heap of stat in minion health and minion damage. Then you equip another helmet with better stats for yourself. The skeleton will have been summon with the helmet with minion stats and will keep those stats

Ahhhhh!

Gotcha.

Thats why that ring is awesome, you can X3 those minion stats by using his special "temporary" effect, but it becomes permanent on that minion

In any case, 4LP ring are always great since it's basically an exalted ++ ring

In that case it can always just be an exalted ring with bonus stats since its 4 lp

I'm thinking about giving up on black hole, can't find solution for clear, tried disintegrate, fireball, frost claw, even glacier whirlpool, nothing works, either low damage or clunky, black hole deals 400k ticks on dummy with mediocre gear and level 88, but with 3 seconds cooldown and no good options for clear this skill is still unplayable, it could have 20x more damage and it still wouldn't change anything

Does anyone have any guide or tips for the lightning meteor build looks really fun

molten cobalt

the false temple farm is legit

#

such a good idea

golden mica
#

As a sorcerer is there a way to make all spell cost more mana, or like a % of current mana, in trying to scale through attunement and mana eventho it will suck

mystic sierra
#

How bad (good?) would this build be? 😂 Basically you cast Static Orb (Cold) + Glacier automatically when using Evade for clear, and use Lightning Blast(Cold) otherwise for single target. I got the idea from using Tribolectra with my nova build where static orb does pretty good damage if specced.

Notably Glacier is reduced mana using Lesser Glacier and pumping the middle/small explosions and using reverse order, and Lightning Blast is also very cheap. Static orb is the main spender.
