How to level ARCHMAGE HIEROPHANT [PART 1] - Everything Explained

[@gameking116official8]

this is BY FAR the most helpful video ive ever watched for PoE Ziz!! I Really hope you continue to do these videos because it was an absolute treat being able to level and play with you basically guiding me along through the process and what I should be looking for! The game is super complicated and no matter how much you read a build guide it doesnt really help as much as this did! Many MANY thanks to a noob that is super grateful to you!

[@Ryloc11]

As a returning player, I wanted to thank you for a fantastic guide. I am glad to see some of the changes mid-guide as well. Saves me time since I am playing along roughly one act behind.

[@josephlarsen]

One piece of feedback (great guide btw) - There are several times where you go through and start deciding when to do things, it'd be nice to show the build screen and discuss why you're picking different things. Help us make the connection between the build and your choices a little better. You did that great with picking the passives, but I still am a little confused on picking the right items and how item RNG changes choices

[@WesleyHughston]

Love these long form videos, thanks ziz

[@gabochoxUT]

this was my second character and from a cyclone/lacerate lover this is by far the best build i've ever played. Insane damage and fun playing it

[@yorkshirelad3133]

2:38:28 you said you would explain all the gems in your gear but only showed the wand, i have no idea what you put in the other gear and why, new starter here, pretty overwhelmed to say the least

[@n3xo636]

He showed what he have on rest later

[@Aglaeca116]

Level 41 gem recap happens at 3:40:00 if people are trying to find what he’s using during the firestorm phase of leveling. He’s in act 5 at that point

[@Jarken15]

That Starforge Ad was Top Tier.

[@Jiggerjaw]

Playing along with you and I gotta say, in 14 leagues of playing, I have never ERASED Malachai like this. I'm really loving how mana scales the damage.

[@Roge9]

things I learned so far despite having 950+ hours. Will probably update as I watch. 1) Ignite isn't affected by spell damage mods 2) Bosses have limited move set on high hp 3) Evasion actually isn't RNG 4:38:47

[@Zizaran]

on high hp*

[@vagalumiplays]

Did you know that right clicking a shrine removes it? 10 years playing this game and I just learned that today

[@Roge9]

@@Zizaran opps typo

[@Roge9]

updated, so yea I learned 3 things from this video haha. @vagalumiplays yea you can just click buff icons to remove them.

[@SchytexGraphics]

Bro, I have 1.2k hours in and still know nothing about this game.

[@brandenmccarney5065]

This is great video. I learned so much about gearing, shortcuts, and the rationale behind the choices made during the build progression which is most interesting to me. Thanks, Z

[@mistercrimp]

Ziz, you asked for feeback (constructive) please include an updated POB for slow people!? More notes etc

[@yorkshirelad3133]

yep im lost, last time i played was 10 years ago

[@xoGetCarteRox]

this is fucking gold. If I could love this video I would. I went to the merch store and bought a jumper in appreciation. I hope you get 100% of that money Ziz.

[@SeriDA77]

Thank you for this detailed walk-through. It is very helpful. "This by far, is the best build I ever played". Yes, add how to run maps in part 2 of these guilds. thanks again

[@taylor9288]

i love his how to everything build i wish we had more but i can see them being a pain to do so glad we got one this season

[@GabrielC1325]

Would be nice if u show early maps. Thanks for ur videos Ziz

[@RyanJ362]

That’s the guide I need

[@gcextol8129]

Will be a part 2 😊 Plz watch the videos and you would know it

[@adityanaveen6596]

Hey, at what point should i switch to frostbolt of icenova. I finished campaign and did some maps . Im lev 72.

[@Exiled_Rouge]

If you play with a controller, there is an auto level option for gems. FYI.

[@Rawsheeve133]

Ziz would you consider making a video for people who have gotten to t16 maps and aren't sure where to go after? I tried to jump into T17 maps on my hardcore character because T16's were too easy. I basically died immediately, I have no idea what to do when I reach end game like that. Please, any direction?

[@TheHottwhyrd]

Figure out what's killing you. If your playing this build it's phys damage. Or ele reflect. Roll the map to not include the things that kill you. Voila, your doing t17s

[@thomasa7187]

Great video. As an absolute newcomer to PoE, I'm trying to recreate the whole thing 1 to 1, which is working well so far. But I'm getting to the point in PoB where the skill points are obviously distributed differently (midgame). Do you have to do this at the very end, i.e. at level 100?

[@jase_alpha]

This build is amazing, just keeps on scaling and getting better

[@jotdis1312]

man this the video i was looking for thanks a lot

[@Jiggerjaw]

Unbelievable. I never knew that Doedre eats curses to buff herself. I now know why my Guardian went down so quick last Gauntlet.

[@Lil1Loysha]

appreciate this content Ziz!

[@eortiz27]

Great everything explained as always!

[@BellaRoseMB]

All the info...head explodes! The info is so fast, a little too =fast on most stuff to understand. I do a lot of rewinding the video to slow it down.

[@badgamer_dad7612]

HI -- Great guide and really helpful. Surprised about the power in the build. QQ - did you automate your flasks? I may have missed it while playing along. Can you let me know where in the video or how to? Thanks

[@sk33tysk33t]

Around 2:30:00 when you went into switch the gems there was no explanation about what to do if you don't have a 3 blue-1 red link item. It's also hard to follow what all gems are where. A review of all the gems once complete would have been great instead of swapping between a circa 15 minute clip trying to see them all.

[@TheFriendlyArab30]

Yeah guide falls apart there, I have no clue what's being used

[@sk33tysk33t]

@@TheFriendlyArab30 I ended up just noting what gems he used, but kept playing with my gear until I found stuff that worked. I did have to use some currencies to change a gem slot color or two.

[@timobatana6705]

My first time played through and I'm working on this build. I hope I saved the right bandit because I'm trying to follow the online guide you made. I'm level 35 but working on getting those mid-game gems it's pretty confusing

[@johndyr8846]

The ad fucking killed me. Thanks for doing this man

[@jamesedwards3666]

Love how the lvl 55 PoB looks like Trogdor

[@SunKenRains]

You've shown that you had the option on in UI for Always Highlight. I would highly recommend any new player to enable this option since without it you only see items on the ground when you hover over them and i believe this option is turned off by default.

[@amimeorr9126]

This is exactly what I wanted lol Ty this was my next build in mind, if your doing build fixes I’d love to get some input on my Vaal absolution guardian I feel like it’s missing some damage and a couple defensive layers away from Ubers and tier 17 maps but idk what it is

[@StickEmUpHS]

Look at them eyebrows go during the starforge bit😅

[@Chemino]

Nooooo I just finish my campaign with my hierophant and I didn't knew what to use as a spell at like LVL 50 and 2 days later that video hit !

[@MrEpic86]

Where do the filter files go when you follow them? They do not appear anywhere on my pc to be copy and pasted

[@treymoon346]

This is super helpful but I’m usually stuck when I get to maps. I feel super squishy with this build in maps rn and I have the minimum endurance charge notable, 45% skill suppression (working on capping that), all res is capped except chaos, and I have the lightning leech and leech masteries from the POB. I’m a newer player this is my 3rd build and maps is where I get stuck every time

[@trainer1kali]

Thank you😊

[@shonuff7943]

Appreciate you man

[@IIMPOSTERR]

thank you ziz

[@adityanaveen6596]

yaaaaay..i was waiting for this

[@kernoleary1394]

was expecting heirophant guide not entire poe guide daym

[@Varcieh]

The build guide is on this channel uploaded a month ago at leaguestart, this is a beginners guide

[@kernoleary1394]

@Varcieh I know it says "everything explained" but I found it weird we didn't mention the build in the title at all for the first half hour lol. I've never played archmage but I have 2500hrs, I thought this was gonna be a leveling guide ala pohx rf leveling guide :). but my mistake

[@kernoleary1394]

@Varcieh actually I take back what I said. "how to level archmage" LITERALLY means a leveling guide... not a general beginner poe guide... HECK ZIZ

[@Zizaran]

@@kernoleary1394 The literal start of the video shows me importing my own guide and talking about it?

[@Redzure887]

thanks Ziz

[@OlEscobar]

Hey men, I'm really struggling! I'm following this build with you minute a minute! But I have a problem I can't fix the f automatization, it says (skill doesn't work) I don't know how to fix it! Can anyone help me please?

[@cohanbryersofficial]

How do you sell to the vendor without dragging the items across?

[@JohnCostanzo]

I might of missed it but you made some deviations from the guide. One is grace. Guess that will come in time in knowing the game?

[@katerioka1]

Its a good build at the start, but transition to void battery build if you want to do juiced up t16's and ubers.

[@sk33tysk33t]

Thank you for making this. I am on my 3rd attempt at this game, and with this I feel like I can actually get to end game. Excited for POE 2 anyways. Haha.

[@TristianTyler]

I know it will be uploaded later, I saw in the twitch vods that you changed to the ice nova gem after some maps, but I didn't see what made you change then, like what was needed to change to the main skill gem?

[@lithcas7873]

i didnt watch any of the vods but it could be that he got the transfigured version of Ice nova, you shouldnt play Ice Nova before you get it

[@Zizaran]

I had no chromes and needed at least one green and 2 blue

[@ahamilaag192]

Bruh said the Ice Nova of Frostbolt gem has 1 in 31 chance literally took me 4-5 days and more than hundreds of tries to get it LMAO. thought that was normal guess I was unlucky.

[@creationguy3871]

How are you equipping two wands? I can only equip one. 😕 I'm beans new and have no clue wtf I'm doing...

[@mell.7017]

Yea. I'm on ps5 and I can't equip a second wand unless I hit R2+R3 and then it just flips the wands.

[@creationguy3871]

@mell.7017 Huh. That's weird. I will try that to see if it works. Thanks! Does it matter if it's a wand or a shield equipped on your off hand?

[@No-limits-]

Thank you

[@Robbygainz]

Why does my arcane cloak not work with automation attached to it?

[@scottdewitt7134]

Don’t know if you read these any longer. The guide I’m following show flame dash and I see your using an ice one. Which is better? Also I don’t have the spinning auras working. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong but can’t figure it out. Thanks in advanced if someone can help me out.

[@AmerAmer-ti7bp]

You Can use the one you prefer. I use flame because i prefer 3 dash personnaly ^^

[@andreaskesse]

Would you guys say this is HC viable?

[@jamesjohnson1094]

It's one of the most played build on HC

[@aguyandhisguitars435]

lol I could of used this last week but now I’m like 83

[@tc-ji6tk]

😂preach i just made it to level 90 today

[@redson4994]

Glad to see our seniors enjoy POE 🫡

[@khanitchr]

tbh I think about staring new character everytime I got new interesing items

[@AngryGuildmarm]

never too late, i ditched my 80div lvl 91 icicle mine dead eye for this! (then respec’d to the one that uses the shield)

[@Darti7]

U age pretty fast dude

[@yuric7904]

Im at level 73 and i have all the gems in place like you put it in POB... but i cant use the frostball.. do you know why? ...

[@eshannumin]

Ok so... has anyone looked at putting svalin on, with ice nova of frostbolts and two supports? for mapping you just walk like rf, and for bosses you actually use your chest six link?

[@DriplessShrimp]

This makes me want to reroll after work. Great guide. Regret not playing this game before this season. Could have saved hundreds of dollars from WoW and FFXIV subs.

[@jezero1090]

Hi Ziz. First of all, I APPRECIATE THIS VIDEOOOO SOOO MUCH!!! THANK YOU. Also, i got icenova on the fist lab hihi. Edit: Just found out i got the wrong ice nova?

[@EgoJinpachi_]

u said u wanted to play as a new player would but didn't talk to the npc to get the quests which helps us see the name of it on ur quest list, that would help new players when comparing their ur quest clearing order to theirs and follow along easier, cuz by u just doing them in auto pilot we don't know which quests were started where and from which npc they belong and their reward and which we should ignore/are optional etc, that crucial explanation imo was missing in these everything explained series

[@HeavyClaw]

Me with 6k hours on steam and few more on standalone client, I find this useful.

[@max6jay]

I finally got all the pieces but skill doesn't use 100 mana per cast to use kitavas.....awkward stage

[@tracypetzer4061]

where is part 2 ?

[@thegrathdk]

Say "c" when he means "z" is kinda fun xD

[@kernoleary1394]

putting your Q on spacebar instead of your T on spacebar is a new kinda crazy

[@hellpiegaming]

What the loot filter?

Hi Ziz. grat content.Where is part 2 of this video? thanks

It's mapping video he made

is there a filter pls ?

Dude just did in 2 hours what took me like 15 lol. I tend to wander around alot lol.

[@Aglaeca116]

I decided to swap my first character I started earlier in the week after seeing the build guide for this a few days ago. It’s insane how much faster I went with this one than my first! Trying to keep up with Ziz instead of wandering around or meandering around town trying to decide on what trash to save in my stash made me so much more efficient lmao!

[@StellarisVT]

not having timestamps on something like this feels a little ridiculous not gonna lie

[@SmokeyTheHeir]

How dare he inconvenient you with a 5h ‘everything PoE’ guide. Entitlement much?

[@StellarisVT]

@@SmokeyTheHeir You could call it entitlement, sure, not really complaining though. Feel like a majority of people do not want to sit through a 5 hour video for a guide, It's not like adding timestamps is remotely difficult either. I personally think it is an extremely fair "criticism", not sure what the point of your response is.

[@Rinssi_from_Finland]

It's not critical but it is time consuming. Usually long videos don't get that mich views which relates to not that much revenue. So would the time spent on time stamping be worth it? Occasionally I have seen some viewer do it in the comments. So feel free to do it and you'd likely be top 1 comment (:

[@Rinssi_from_Finland]

Ehm, dunno why I said critical. I meant difficult. It is not difficult but it is time consuming.

[@MrMcKush]

Lol I was like how does he have so much mana l, cause arcane cloak was not on

hi

[@grimmjowthepantera]

I never understand why the most play with Rolling magma, this skill is so .... slow ....

[@stuff4812]

It’s effective damage to toss and walk away. But it is a very boring skill

[@grimmjowthepantera]

@@stuff4812 i use ever Tendris and orb of storm and all die instandly + chain.

[@HeavyClaw]

@@grimmjowthepantera It's player's preference, rolling magma is overall cool aoe skill that has good cover, but some start with spark, arc, explosive trap, etc, etc. Also, it's just slow if your build is slow, kinda all lv1 gem/character progression remain slow for the vast majority of the start.

[@pn7dj]

I am so stupid... I followed your guide and was wondering why I am getting so much dmg and die so often . Even if have so much more mana and live. At lvl 56 I saw I forgot to skill live over matter 😂😂😂

"there's no way to automatically level gems" is incorrect. Play with a controller and they autolevel, discovered this wile steamdeckin in bed
