One Archmage To Rule Them All

Was a long journey putting this character together but hopefully the end result was satisfactory. This character was a massive time & currency investment to push archmage/RF with the new mana per int mod to its top end and I am happy with how it went. That being said I am ready to get back to a bit more ground builds with much less extravagant gearing.

The reveal of tanking valdo's bosses all the time he was talking was hilarious xD

[@VoiDukkha]

thought for a moment he had a video of it running in the background. then it hit me

[@michaelg.8062]

GGG like "lets make unbeatable T17 maps." and Lance goes "and I took that personally"

Truly the flex master right here. Once again this is an impressive build that goes to show how different the experience of the game is on different skill levels.

loved the showcase :)

[@Navonex]

Great video!! Have you ever considered doing build coaching? Or doing a series of videos that explains how you decide what to theory craft, and what determines what makes the build a success or failure? I have a lot of hours in this game, and I still can't wrap my head around some of these builds, and why they work.

[@tequilakitty100]

When you're no good at the Maven memory game... just build until you can tank it.

[@andreaprastomo1711]

herecome another budget build, thanks !

[@lisimc1]

Been playing Archmage since the beginning of the league. I am definitely thinking of switching it to this!

you beat the game, twice, now make winter orb great again cap' !

It's Worbin time!

[@saltiney8578]

lol holy moly what are thoes hp and mana numbers absolutely astronimical, this build must be insane

[@thomasgrimm1664]

This is about the right amount of tank for me. I just need to learn avoiding those Maven beams and I'm in the clear.

[@BossGel]

okay you got me with the damn maven memory game. lmao lemme farm some mirrorsssss XD

[@jonlock621]

On the radiant faith version, did you consider using power siphon of the archmage with locus mine? It scales with full mana even if its reserved so it would pair well with your setup

[@UseZutube]

He makes an immortal build every leagues, damn this man O_o

[@nyzss]

this is so interesting

[@spaghettata6942]

can i do this on a 3c budget?

i think describing this budget you need exponents in divines

[@PoorImagination]

Great video as always lance! Can you maybe make CoC build for fun?

[@Nyacasatu]

one small problem with making this a HoGM character is that flasks currently dont work on grandmasters even with mageblood

[@billytheframe1355]

Hey Lance that is some DOPE league build you got there. Congratz looks fluid and nice to play unlike other mana stackers. You see any chance to make Ball Lightning of Orbiting work with mana stacking? Btw please keep the gear for standard if GGG does not molest the build with patch notes i gonna mirror your stuff.

HE IS FREE!

[@cyberwhiz]

"That being said..." Valdo's bosses are quite manageable if you have enough tank.

[@immortal7669]

Nice

[@Ilestun]

Crazy defense, dps is more than ok considering the build defensive capabilities. I wonder if going with voices isnt the way to go for my CI trickster (splitting steel), and just rely on adorned for just scaling ES and attack speed.

[@CoRnJuLiOx]

lol @ 2:00 - "mechanics are for cars"

[@FaLLeNaNg3L82]

38k mana? 26k ES? how? 😮😮😮 Amazing video a d the reason why I love this game to see what is really possible. I have more than 1000h played and never even remotely reached this level

I want to play this build but kinda feels too expensive plus there's only a month left until next league. Already done my LA and Exsang Occultist but still wanna play something else. This is a bit daunting on the currency side of things.

26k ES... another 127 mirrors build... Any more or less budget version?

[@HeavyClaw]

I was wondering when you started explaining the build, why the ES was constantly moving, moments later, I know why... Okay

Any chance you’ll showcase a 17link build?

wouldn't inquis dunk on this toon in HoGM?

[@ACEYGAMES]

It'd depend on how the stats interact. But reading inquis as written, yeah totally bypass resistance meaning inquis would do 10x DMG.

[@criticap-jo9dl]

Why do you think Armour stacker is weaker than Archmage build? Is it mainly because Armour stacker build doesn't regen as much?

[@kyle9401]

My guess is ones melee and the other generally isn't.

[@labubasi]

Yup way lesser regen and just 10 times lesser ES at its peak in current league.

[@criticap-jo9dl]

@@kyle9401 I generally don't think melee is the problem here. If you were so tanky melee or ranged don't really matter. @Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr literally has something of similar with Armour stacker except his one of the main problem is degen pool. That is why I was wondering what was CaptainLance's concern about armour stacker.

[@johnturtle6649]

@@criticap-jo9dl this is the answer, most armour stackers are at least somewhat vulnerable to phys DOT.
