To boost your defences you could add The Front Line jewel in pair with Arcane Cloak+Increased Duration cuz it has nice synergy with Dynamo notable. Also CDR increases uptime even futher.
Some of the new weapon passives give percentage mana regen. On staves it can go up to 3%. I'm pivoting to archmage support with an arc hierophant once I find a staff with that.
I played ascendant ball lightning last league. It was super powerful. I went non crit because the lucky damage was so powerful, but I could have gone crit just as easy. I went with the magnate belt for damage. I got to like 15 million, which was weaker than my archmage ball lightning build, but it was great to play. Ascendant has such great options for forbidden jewels. Don't forget to scale arcane surge effect since it gives you more spell damage. I would consider dropping agnostic. I did lgoh last league and it was so powerful. I could even run rf, but I decided to go hybrid low life with progenesis and petrified blood instead. If I had to do it again, I would use grace instead of determination, and take lucky suppression with glancing blows block then just grab pdr and endurance charges. Good luck.
BigD is back and stronger than ever! My first poe build to follow was your Poison BV Assassin in Heist league and since then I loved your content mate. I hope your irl stuff went well and now you're back for good :) Keep 'em contents coming mate! Edit: Forgot to thank you for sharing your leaguestart thoughts :D
love it ! something different from all league starters shit ! I rember only one problem with it - constant pressing of mana Flask ... rest seems great ! Good luck ! i Hope with Crucible it will works like it should !!
in my experience, playing a mana build with both agnostic AND mom, can feel really jank if youre casting a lot- you need insane amounts of mana regen to feel comfortable- like 4-5 k mana reg per second. I would play with the agnostic and righteous fire off, for smoother play, and then switch, feels smoother. did you not have this problem?
To be honest, your BL archmage scion are my first character when I just started POE, you can tell I have no idea what I’m doing but still manage to get this build to level 93, but this time I don’t see you use the unique prince crown (I’ve forgotten the full name), cause I don’t even understand what I am playing with beside spamming the mana flask 😂
Not listening. Playing it. Suck it! BOOM! Srsly though, I usually league start with Ball Lightning or Spark Hiero. Good to see you back and look forward to seeing more content.
I played this when I first started playing PoE. The amount of stress on my fingers when I played this build is unimaginable, I considered using AHK (illegal) or play another build and I chose the latter.
Huh, I've been curious whether that build still works. Genuinely wish you the best of luck with it, it never really clicked with me personally but it's one of those wacky builds that just exemplify what you can do in the game.
I love ball lightning, but we also have no idea how annoying it'll be to get the crucible tree passive. I'm thinking of doing something with Ice Spear with the same passive, but not as a starter build.
@@sni18per At the start of the video he mentioned the crucible notable that made him choose this build, which was "Ice Spear and Ball Lightning fire Projectiles in a circle. Ice Spear and Ball Lightning Projectiles Return to you", which was shown in a teaser/reveal video. It's a T5 node. I've been conditioned to not get too excited about GGG teasers anymore, as a lot of these really awesome things are rare/RNG to get, which is why I said it's brave of him to choose a build based on it, but I can respect going off meta! :)
@@JezzyHsu i see. ya that does sound like a very strong node indeed. but like u said, i also tend to not get excited about any teasers since they are mostly very endgame and borderlind unnattainable for most players. i played this build back in ultimatum and loved it, but am hesitant to try and leaguestart with it. maybe as a second character or a fun project later in the league tho.
@@sni18per Im sure it will still work fine without it. I hope he does get it though so I can see his build in action! No one uses the unique chest nowadays so he can easily get good corruptions on it then 6L it. +2 AOE gems, +2 duration gems -> 10% more damage!
This duck thinks he's gonna get the ball lightning pledge of hands staff KEKW I believe Captain Lance has the best description of this build: BAIT! =P In all seriousness, this is a cool concept, but I think it puts the cart before the horse. If you *do* get the pledge of hands with the ball lightning t5, go for it--but until then, keep in mind the assumptions here.
I have playded archmage 3.19 as an test and it was really fun but damage ends up on the low site i had around 4mil ish it was fine till end game bosses and that's it, you will need to really good dmg boost to play arch mage right now ( it was arch mage storm brand ascendant)
I love how you still went out of your way to provide leveling paths on your PoB. We don't deserve your kindness.
POG, BLAM is back? My favorite and first build that I followed from Big D, really looking forward to the guide after you figure things out

Thanks dude, was thinking the same thing, you introduced me to this build a long time ago, now you got me back to it

Its good to see you back my man, I hope you enjoy the league!
Glad youre back king
"hit them , hit them with the stuff" love the rotation
Love the tech. Thanks for your time and imput its always appreciated
I would suggest using the mastery "recover 10% of mana over 1 second when you use a guard skill", super nice with arcane cloak.
Some of the new weapon passives give percentage mana regen. On staves it can go up to 3%. I'm pivoting to archmage support with an arc hierophant once I find a staff with that.

I actually miss and love ball lightning selfcast. Hopefully this build will pull out well!

Edit: Forgot to thank you for sharing your leaguestart thoughts :D
They took out stance dance and brah said na i need to be pressing a button ever second.
one word 5 letters: macro. i played this in ultimatum league and never pressed mana flask once.
Interesting build, but this will break my ps5 controller lol.
Why oos? Why not galvanic field ?
oh shit he is back
I feel your resentment with the PoE community while you walk in eggs
I'm going cold dot for my starter, but I'm going to keep an eye on this and if it works out for you this might be my second build.
love it ! something different from all league starters shit ! I rember only one problem with it - constant pressing of mana Flask ... rest seems great ! Good luck ! i Hope with Crucible it will works like it should !!

Yo dude :)
Can i play this with forboding mana flask , like in 3.13 ?:D
Definitely starting Arc this league, but hoping to have some cross over pieces once I build up some currency so I can run a good Ball Lightning build.
Back then I got my first Maven kill with Frostbomb which is basically the same setup just tweaked toward Frostbomb instead of BL. It was awesome
I might try leveling a Heiro or something on console before leaguestart. Archmage was always my favorite build before it got nerfed.
Remember playing hiero version, inspired by your ascendant, one of the strongest builds in poe. I'll keep an eye on this for a second build.
Is pob updated ?? Arcane surge sup inclusive??
I like the build, could you update it to 3.22?
Not listening. Playing it. Suck it! BOOM! Srsly though, I usually league start with Ball Lightning or Spark Hiero. Good to see you back and look forward to seeing more content.
since you're gonna play lightning isn't it better to play storm brand with leveling so it will be easier for you to transfer over to archmage later
Big Ducks: I told you not to play it
Average Viewers: "Big ducks Told us to play it" hehe
Replica Kaom's heart, Indigon, Atziri's step/March of the Legion.
I personally think that this would be a pain, wish you a good luck.
It didn't work for me! LOL, welcome back!

what teaser?

Could add New life mastery with 90% is still full life and arrogance clarity for more mom via clarity watchers eye
Yes big man
He's a duck.
I think you’re better off playing Manabond Hiero at the point this build becomes somewhat playable.
This build needs significant projectile speed to work properly.
Haven't played in 4 months?! I thought you were going full time as a streamer, what happened?
I would like to say, that "projectiles return to you " doesnt work
and "projectiles circle around you" doesnt work
As a new player, not having any gameplay shown of the actual build is so bad. Its not useful at all
This duck thinks he's gonna get the ball lightning pledge of hands staff KEKW
I believe Captain Lance has the best description of this build:
BAIT! =P
In all seriousness, this is a cool concept, but I think it puts the cart before the horse. If you *do* get the pledge of hands with the ball lightning t5, go for it--but until then, keep in mind the assumptions here.
I have playded archmage 3.19 as an test and it was really fun but damage ends up on the low site i had around 4mil ish it was fine till end game bosses and that's it, you will need to really good dmg boost to play arch mage right now ( it was arch mage storm brand ascendant)
This looks like a pure pain to play. Doing this much shenanigans for 5 million dps = bad build
Dude you have 0 mana Regen. Does not look good
Dont play this build as a league start
Mine
Holy fuck you are alive
There are no real scion builds the class is dead
