The OTHER Build of the League [PoE 3.25]

[@WesternHypernormalization]

Ended up maining this build after starting ele hit. Build was crazy good, probably my 2nd or 3rd most favorite character and the most I ever invested in.

[@jamesyiie5842]

Thanks for this! I just switch with this version and it's better than my previous one. Keep up the good work.

[@PathofEvening]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@JayM928]

It’s a great starter. Easiest atlas I ever had in settlers. Tried something hipster for necro and regretted not just starting this again.

[@jacoblancaster5044]

Yessir love you for dropping this llarold. Been waitijg for you to drop build talk stuff again. Taking notes and will probably refer to this next poe 1 league if it's not nerved till kingdom come (rip toxic rain never had the chance to get good with it as it was my first ever build and I gave up and bone shattered/dual strikes through necropolis)

[@PathofEvening]

RIP Toxic Rain!

[@rexluna5430]

I ran explosive arrow totem Hierophant through the early atlas during this event and am starting to prepare to switch over to this now been wanting to try this build all league.

[@PathofEvening]

This build's pretty great!

[@itsmedeka]

I started the same with poeguy then switched to this, you'll love it.

[@tmnumber1]

I built this in SSF last league and it was def OP especially for bossing. I will never play it again though because I couldnt see shit.

[@otter8527]

Holy shit. I swapped to your version, and it is FAR more playable

[@c-tothefourth4879]

can you make a POB of the ideal stats for each variant? Like I assume accuracy rating isn't needed on a wand etc. Because I have a rough idea but there's such variance amongst this build, it's hard to pin down. EG shield vs non shield, crit vs non crit, suppress or max res, etc

[@PathofEvening]

Sorry, no.

[@k.h.raider9329]

I would absolutely love to try this build out but having tried to level it twice, the one thing that absolutely destroys it for me is getting there. The Rolling Magma (and Firestorm in Zizaran's build of it) are just so meh for me personally. Which is a shame because it looks really cool once ya get to using Frostbolts.

[@BlaqVenom]

@k.h.raider9329 I leveled using Frostbolt, but Freezing Pulse or totems would work well too.

[@JayM928]

The rolling magma was bleh, but with hiero it was effective and easy start compared to many other things.

[@PathofEvening]

Both good suggestions. Rolling Magma is only Act 1 at most, and you can just run something else.

[@k.h.raider9329]

I decided to try your arc leveling path with this build and oh my gods it is incredibly fun, plus I finally managed to get to trying Ice Nova of Frostbolts and it is so much fun as well! Thank you so much for this video, really helped me get around to finally trying out this endgame build~!!

[@Uelibertiga]

@@PathofEvening What would you recommend for act 1 instead of rolling magma?

[@TheBigMofaman]

Why is this only available in 360p :( I am also trying heirophant in necro! Only finished campaign and started atlas, by far better than both my slayer and marauder camp runs.. can basically go through campaign with 4 links and act2-3 gear its crazy

[@PathofEvening]

That's an issue on your end. It's in 1080. If you're watching on mobile or slow connection the resolution will be lower

[@shallowriffs]

How do i get my bolts to be like that black small orbs instead of the large blue one's? Newbie here

[@PathofEvening]

MTX

[@Quel_droma]

What do you think of Vortex of Projection variant instead of Ice Nova? It works essentialy the same, I just can't tell if it's comparable, better or worse...

[@PathofEvening]

Haven't looked at it

[@PokemonTimeWithAndrewC]

I like this build! I played ice nova first settlers league. Tried to start slayer this league i'm giving up and finding a beginner ice nova guide

[@Cafefei]

What frostblink mtx is that?

[@PathofEvening]

Wrangler

[@vulcanic2711]

Any map regex for this build?

[@PathofEvening]

Nothing beyond what's already in the video description

[@AshKetchum-tm4vw]

How do you feel about running badge over foible for the pcharge stacking version of this build?

[@PathofEvening]

It makes gearing harder but it's definitely better once setup

[@kascca]

it was my main build in the last 2 leagues and i think i can say it is my favorite build so far

[@PathofEvening]

It's pretty dope!

[@zarko364]

amazing guide

[@PathofEvening]

Thank you.

[@dedekunz6247]

Shouldn’t you be using the cloak of defiance on the mana version of the build as well?

[@PathofEvening]

It's good, but not mandatory. Be sure to take the point out of MoM if you are.

[@Mr_RedEl]

ty for the vid. i got bored of the necro settlers league lantern mechanic and its economy setting on discord servers waiting for tumblings and div hours is not fun and I don't have time for that just wanted to ask can I make this build work in ssf? it looks fun and I never played a mage build before.

[@fajarabdurrahman6924]

@@Mr_RedEl if you mind to farm some mandatory unique, i think it is good for ssf

[@PathofEvening]

It is good for SSF but do need to farm as mentioned above

[@c-tothefourth4879]

What's good to farm with this in T16?

[@PathofEvening]

Anything

[@JoseRojas-fl4jf]

Which league started guide for this would u recommend

[@Shanopla]

Check out nick's youtube vid "A10 Kitava How to Level Archmage Builds for Leaguestart" Zizaran and Goratha also both have guides up. I liked Nick's super fast leveling - he leapslams to glory but you may prefer using one of the other two guides as they are a little more spelled out and easy to follow (Ziz and Goratha both have GREAT notes in their POBs.). No matter which guide you follow I guarantee you will LOVE this build. Best leveling experience I have had (was my starter last league and both versions of this league).

[@PathofEvening]

We made one.

[@whylikethismyfriend]

Holy shit so this was one that I saw when I joined a breach exp runs I was like what the fck was that all the clutter and magnificent balls coming out

[@PathofEvening]

Hell yeah

[@SimonasVitkus]

I did this build at kalguur start. Got some currency with it and made scion wardloop and kept playing wardloop had 2.5k ward after flask could afk harbingers and most content

[@PathofEvening]

Dope

[@zshenb]

This build is awesome! I league start in settlers and it was the smoothest league start for me. I am trying SSF in necro settlers and so far it is still OP. GGG is going to nerf this for sure.

[@johnhopson7713]

I followed Ziz and this was my first build ever on my first ever play through, I absolutely love it and I'm having so much fun farming for div and tweaking it in the end game to better fit my play style, highly recommend. A true blaster

[@PathofEvening]

Yup!

[@johnhopson7713]

@@PathofEvening how do you get your frost bolts to shoot every time like that? i switched to your build bc Zizs was so squishy, i like yours better. also, do i need to run my clarity and my automation? i have 7k mana but i keep running out

[@chawibulihalen]

How much currency do you need to start the build going?

[@PathofEvening]

It's league-startable, so zero. Just login and get going.

[@jacoblancaster5044]

Biggest hurdle is getting the gem. Was in high demand on day one of necro settlers. Was like 80 or 90 chaos. Can always run the lab until you get it though.

[@chawibulihalen]

which lab I have to run? And which color gem I need to use?

[@thieff7211]

@@chawibulihalenblue

[@jacoblancaster5044]

@chawibulihalen just bring a blue gem to each campaign lab. That's what I did and hit it second try. I figure if I didn't hit then id just run the end of campaign lab with blue gems until I do. They are quick to run. I'm a noob and bad though so there may be a more efficient way. There is always rogue harbor with starter build to for the chaos but at least in necro settlers there was noone really buying the mid replicas. And expedition wasn't giving me enough chaos to buy so I figure more efficient use of time would be spamming the lab and getting one yourself. Also chance of hitting other mid value gems while tryna get it. Also the guide I used the end campaign gem was strong enough for early mapping so technically could do like essences to afford it but I wanted to switch and start with frost nova for the first map

[@Vulgaels]

Dont go power siphon trickster, power siphon hiro with totems is amazing scaling mana and wands. Tried both, the totems hiro hits 20mil dps on easy gear

[@AGVenge]

Pob mate?

[@PathofEvening]

Interesting!

[@AGVenge]

@@PathofEvening you know what builds he is talking about. Loooking at ninja and yt, i dont see any builds do that amount of dps

[@nguyengia7563]

Im playing power siphon tricker right now and honestly I dont know why ppl play it, dmg is so-so, defence is so bad, I barely cleared my atlas.

[@AGVenge]

@nguyengia7563 yep I ripped a couple in HC as well😊

[@illogical3211]

Why not try zenith jugg

[@PathofEvening]

Might. Just haven't

[@Oergie]

Best build i have, 40 mln dps, 800k ehp and its not even maxed :)

[@alexandrudinca3080]

you should have shown the original visual effect of the skill not the MTX which is the main reason i don't play this build. It's horrible and it hurts my eyes.

[@PathofEvening]

Yeah, maybe.

[@a.mikecampbell]

@@alexandrudinca3080 when I would close my eyes at night, I’d see bubbles moving across my eyes 😭

[@alexandrudinca3080]

It's a shame cause the build is op. Though i wouldn't play it past league start for this very reason.
