Rising Tempest support was bug fixed just a few hours after this video was released - we'll be going with Considered Casting (which also got a buff on the same patch) in its place.
it seems to still be bugged. as in it still triggers x2 and gives 24% more on just casting spark. at least on my tooltips. or perhaps because i didn't take off the link after patch yet?
I usually don’t like watching 25 min guides but I’m glad I stuck around. Finally understand what I need to work towards. One of the best guides my guy! Keep it up! 👍
I'm doing something similar, wanted to know if you have tried Fork over Pierce, it clears a lot faster for me. I was hesitant when I saw the damage reduction was 50% vs 30%, until I realized it effectively doubles the amount of Spark Projectiles. I'm level 74, so just curious if Fork stands up at your level.
Hi a question I’m following your archmage stormweaver on Maxrollgg and on the passive tree some lines are green and red. What does that mean and in the build do I rush mind over matter and chaos inoculation or just follow the passive tree as I’m not sure what order to go
@ red lines are weapon set 1 and green are weapon set 2. Conceptually, the curse nodes belong to your offhand for greater effect, while the crit nodes belong to weapon set 1 and every skill besides sigil of power and conductivity
@ ahhh thanks so much for the explanation, I got the necklace and working on getting more energy shield and mana then I’m gonna try it out. Can’t wait.
I got a few questions since I'm doing spark myself and watched many streams/guides. For the wand, I thought lightning damage is superior to spell damage because archmage only scales with lightning. I also heard that the "damage as extra" doesn't work. For the offhand, is the double es prefix better than spell+lightning damage? Or is this just your current gear, since I assume late game ingenuity is also just best. Edit: did some testing. Bought 2 foci with only relevant prefixes (170 Mana in both, one with 130+ in spell+light DMG, other with 85+ flat and % es). Was about a 17% sheet DMG loss but 500 es more and like 250 mana.
hey at what point u recommend switching to your tree ? thanks for this vid ! and what are the green/red skill points on the skill tree i dont get it && how the heck u deal with push backs from the mobs xD?
What's the go with Final Barrage (top left Full Life/Low Life) node? I thought lowlife/fulllife stuff didn't work for CI, and even if it did, wouldn't Final Barrage be a negative since you'd be full life? And surely Casting Cascade should be avoided outside bossing, until you're dumpstering map clear?
For now, CI is giving us both full and low life and the 2 points net us 13% cast speed - if this is bugfixed, we'll go with Practiced Signs/Open Mind in its place
You can get font of mana on your frost wall for a little more regen if you struggle with mana. Also we can probably consider getting off CI/delay it until really high tier maps and run a actual amulet because devs cut out a lot of chaos cancer... I intend to conduct extensive testing on the matter.
@@IBoilerUp yeah you have to really kiss the wall to get the buff but we do what we got to do to offset MOM penalty xD Also flat mana on kill on ring or gloves feels really really great. I had +45 pair of gloves and +20 ring save me like 50 times. Basically a grim feast on steroids for MOM build.
How does EB work with increased % ES nodes and such? If my ES was 1000 after all the increased % from the tree, and it gets converted to mana, does it convert 1:1 or is it mana prior to the ES%? And then on top of that, does Everlasting Gaze get increase ES% from the tree as well? I know this is a basic question but I've never played this kinda build and want to understand more. From what I can tell it seems like it's 1:1, and then the ES from Everlasting Gaze is also boosted from the tree?
Nice build, but I don't get it... when i equip The everlasting gaze and spec into Eldritch battery, I have only 2.7k ES... where should I improve, ES on gear or maximum mana?
@@saffronasux4175 both - base energy shield (not considering %ES from skill tree / jewels) is added to your mana with eldritch battery. Up to 30% of that mana is converted back to energy shield from the amulet, and that energy shield is subject to % increases
Hi, i have literally your same skill tree, but when i activate the 3 points(1hp, shield become mana and i get damage from mana) i have literally 0 armor and 1 hp. How do you have the shield too
I really don't understand the shield part. How is 30% of 5k mana 5.8k shields? Also... I have 3.4k shields (without the amulet). when I activate eldritch battery it is only giving me 1k mana.... Went from clearing tier 10 maps on cold sorc to not being able to clear tier 2 with lightning build
For some reason Eldritch Battery working BEFORE amulate convert. So in reality you have this algorithm: You stacking your ES -> lvl up Eldritch Battery -> it converts all ES -> THEN amulet get it percentage mana from all mana to new ES shield which is working like nothing happend
I"m cold right now at level 77, and if I take off my cold staff, my stats are 1,429 life , 2170 energy shield and 1180 mana, with 138 spirit and max res. If I got a Everlasting Gaze + 1wand/offhand , do you think Id be able to make this switch suffiently? I'm only in Tier 6 maps currently as well. Just wondering your opinion before I spend a shit ton of exalts. =)
@@IBoilerUp how do you have energy shield protecting your life, while using eldritch battery? sorry in case you explained it in the video. skipped a few parts.
It would add something, but I think those types of meta gems are in a pretty bad spot after the Comet fiasco. I'd probably just opt for more ES on chest

@ “gain mana as extra energy shield”, a stat provided by either the everlasting gaze amulet or atziri’s disdain helmet, happens independently of eldritch battery in PoE2. ALL of my ES is coming from my mana with the amulet
To be honest I am Flabbergasted that they allowed this to stay in the game. With all the patches we’ve had, one can only assume they are OK with this interaction. Which seems antithetical to everything they’ve been doing.
Always been curious gear wise with these builds; did you find most of it or craft or buy on trade? Feel like my gear luck is bad lol, and crafting in this game is so rng.
Lightning pen is def not the way to go. Would switch that gem out, you already have conductivity which will drop their res enough to the point the 30% lightning pen will do nothing.
is this build extreamly expensive like your wand is atleast 50-100 exault your chest and helm probably around 2 devine each plus i think the mid socket costs like 30 exault and the 5th slot for the gem is like 100 exault or 5 devine its legit insane let alone when we add the rest of the items the neck is 2 devine as well + all the additional quality on items and gems is like another 10-15 exault and it will not work without having atleast half of this
You can upgrade the level of the gem even of it is corrupted. So just corrupt low ones. Still insanely expensive due to perfect jeweller but there isn't really a cheaper way to get a 21 spark gem
