Mjolner Archmage Lightning Conduit of the Heavens progress update

[@ConnerConverse]

forgot to mention that enduring cry + call to arms carried so hard early game before the low life swap and especially before uber lab for min endurance charges. i still need to pick up zealots oath but even the nice 2k regen every 4-5 seconds feels ok

[@1seanv]

I really appreciate the videos that you make.

[@StormCloudGenerator]

With some luck and trading nightmares I managed to put this together early so thanks so much for the videos!

Wonderful video as always! A guide on how you acquire/craft your gear would be enormously helpful if you're up for it!

Nice build man, everything was really smooth. Bought my Indigon and got all my watchstones. One thing that I couldn't stand was using CWC lightning warp.... my brain just gets fried and it's pretty much impossible to control my character. too bad frostblink got nerfed... :/

[@itsHonorem]

what did you use instead? i too can't stand lightning warp lol

[@Caterpie56]

You could use shock nova in the cwc links and manually cast frostblink to jump around but it will be much slower movement

[@ConnerConverse]

If you aren't used to it there is a bit of skill with aiming, and it comes back to how much movement speed you have. If you are aiming too far away and your move speed is too slow you won't warp before the next warp ques up and it gets all crazy. Try aiming closer till it feels smooth then slowly back it up farther away till you find the sweet spot

[@itsHonorem]

@@ConnerConverse this helps, thanks for the tips man.

[@th33beat]

@@itsHonorem Just flame dash Edit: what I realized is that, the main reason why we have the triggered lightning warp setup is to get the mana spent up for indigon. Once I put that trigger back in, my damage skyrocketed

[@Ciapciaq]

@Conner Converse I got 100% avoid bleed and cb immunity in jewels, and basic ele ailments via flasks and pantheon. But i bought midiocare jewels bc of that. It is worth in long term or just fuck bleeding it is not important at all? I know symilacrum and those new t17 maps might inflict big bleeds (not planing delving), but i do not know it is anything i should worry about on maps (we got insta leech and vall discipline). Played manabond 2 leagues ago and i do not remember covering bleed.

[@IsoYear]

thanks for the update, i was using shock nova!

[@ryanhurley1729]

Am I doing something wrong or does cast when channeling not work on console edition? I warp in random directions when channeling

[@MeTuLHeD]

I don't know if you can work it in. But The Squire would allow you to six link Lightning Conduit of the Heavens. Might have to give up something else so I'm not sure it would work for this build. But it's just a thought.

[@MrYevelnad]

And here I am in Act 3.

[@geniuslow123]

Hi conner, how do I achieve optimal trigger rate on my mjolner? Im currently running on 0 cdr and according to reading online, it mentions 3.787 is ideal. Im currently on 3.45 ( 1.15 x300% ) I can add either 9% on flask for 3.76 Or 10% for 3.795. Am I right to assume 3.76 is better as 3.795 will make me exceed the breakpoint?

[@Jamafr89]

What do u do for ailments like burning or bleed? Feels like those are the most deadly next to poison or chaos in general. I feel like i die way too often. I dont gave indigon yet

[@alex7435]

My Maps are pretty cruisy but I found bossing quite difficult - not sure if I'm just not used to the playstyle (I'm fine with the lightning warp for maps but find it a bit difficult to control on bosses) or I don't have enough damage/tankiness yet, but I found it hard to maintain a consistent damage uptime (especially against Maven), and my mana flask would run out before I could phase her. Was wondering what you'd recommend as a baseline for fighting Maven?

[@pascald851]

Will an caster ring with "conductivity on hit" reduce the damage ?

[@ezequielnegro5193]

feels a little wird the movement of lighning warp? or i should have any configuration?

Hey man, Great work!!! Is this build tanky enough to do both mapping and bosses/ubers? Ty for your time

Bro, im playing this build. It took me a while to get it going, but damn its amazing! Its CoC flicker on crack.

[@TheDragonflamex]

[@romainvaroquier3035]

Hi, maybe i'll sound stupid but how do you deal with light radius if you don't take the mastery Arcane Vision ? thanks in advance. Thanks for the build

[@noobguy7023]

first time going mana stacker, really appreciate the detailed videos you are putting out. I swapped to mjolner/ivory tower and felt like i pretty much insta die to bleeds without insta leech, and noticed in ~2 week pob there is no instaleech just leech from cluster. i dont currently have a cluster setup atm so im not sure how it feels but is it not necessary to take instaleech later on?

[@Daniel-zy1ir]

Instaleech is taken though? The PoB in the description shows that Leech Mastery 10% of Leech is Instant is allocated. Even if it wasn't, I don't know a single instance where a serious build with leech doesn't take insta leech, it's just too good.

[@noobguy7023]

@@Daniel-zy1ir he has 10% instaleech in this current pob, but im talking about the 2 week pob from his build guide video which is at lvl 99, has no instaleech

[@Thales220600]

Hey conner, thanks for the update! Im one of the guys that are just poor and cant farm regularly, what is the order you recommend for the uniques? I noticed in the other video you said you were going for mjolner, for the swap, but after that what's the most important thing for the set to start blasting? (Aside indigon obviously) How important is prism/tower/shaper's

[@Arthrexx]

Shaper's part of your ES scaling, among other things. Don't even try this without Ivory. You will just die. It is hard required for anything low life

[@ConnerConverse]

You need mjolner and shapers touch minimum for the swap due to accuracy Ivory and prism is needed for low life but I delayed swapping since it was feeling smoothe playing bv still

[@DougTanner]

I'm slowly getting to this point, just picked up Mjolnir. I'm trying 3-link Arc in the Mjolnir and 5-link Lightning Conduit of the Heavens with cast while channeling in the armor, thoughts? Seems to be good for clear and single target.

[@TheEvilsToy]

Thanks for the update. Could you please advise on league mechanics that are best farmed with this build or some general advice on the atlas early-mid progression.

you dont have to stay low though, you can flask whenever and spend however and damage should be about the same or better than manabond because its not mana % dependent and 100% uptime also with indigon your damage should feel worlds better than pre indigon

Does he play the same thing every league?

[@ConnerConverse]

mana builds are a whole archtype that can play any bow skill any attack skill or almost any spell and have a fairly common set of gear. the mjolner start lets you get that gear on a somewhat early attainable start then transition later. last league i swapped to mana RF after 4 days with a mjolner start, then eventually the archmage CwC penance brand build. the league before that i did manaforged arrows transition later. league before that i did pure mjolner. then i sneak in other stuff like energy blade or flicker strike or whatever but since the gear is common it lets you get the gear built up on a safe start

[@gahnnewworld]

Boomer Question: Can you use something else than lightning warp? My old brain struggles with the teleports.

[@ManfredLanster]

You technically could just use cyclone for the procs and be fine - at least until you get indigon For indigon you want a spell to spend more mana. If you don’t care about speed that much maybe try ball lightning with slower proj for better single target
