I just gotta say thank you. Im new to poe, work all day and since before the launch i was looking to play sw, but did not know anything about the game. Looking at the atlas, i spotted the interactions between CI, MOM and EB but did not know if it would work until i saw your videos. Im currently at t5 map with res capped and looking for a wand with +4 to lightning skills (using staff rn) and playing ssf so far. Keep up the great work, man!
Playing a close variant of lance's build since the start and it's really coming together very well now. Just wanna share some tips I found while playing: you can find some pretty cheap red jewels with max roll block chance (7%) and increased skill effect duration: it is really useful to reach capped block chance while using the "cheap" shield variant which feels really good in maps while still keeping a dps upgrade with the duration. Also, if you're not playing elemental storm but double shock instead (like me), you can find great jewels with increased shock magnitue which is an insane dps upgrade overall (i'm stacking 72% shock on ennemies atm and it can go way higher with more investment). Finally, since today's patch, the electrocute support doesn't reduce dmg so it's now a viable option to support spark. I'm using it atm and it's just bonkers: ennemies are simply not able to move anymore xD (though shock becomes harder to apply with only orb of storms) Anyway thanks lance for the video, looking forward to your next build :)
That shield is absolutely nuts. That's a crazy corruption for this build that's for sure. Probably expensive for most players. I still think that going for max % block chance, feels easier on most players at least in terms of survivability. The block is so insanely good in poe 2. I mean it literally blocks everything so i'll probably keep that till very high level. Its cheap too, other options are sooo expensive. Elemental tempest seems nuts ha? It does look good I admit, based on your videos. Haven't tried it yet. But you are right its mostly a decision between going for criticals, skill effect and the Storm, versus going for lightning magnitude multipliers and stuff on the tree nodes to focus on the double shock.
@@hummbs3498 same here,Im playing this build with a focus and the electro gloves in juiced corrupted t15s and I die maybe once in 30 maps or so if Im not careful, even after the electro nerf the stun is godlike. The only maps where I really have an issue maybe getting overrun is the juiced breaches with the evasive+a ton of ele res on mobs mods on the map
Heavy Munitions is a decent anoint no? 40% proj damage, 40% proj stun damage, no downside. I’m only asking because the amulet I bought already had it and it seems pretty good. I’ve also changed duration for electrocution which is making it so much safer to do everything. Stunning rates and bosses for 5 seconds is an absurd defensive layer. And then I can have 40% more duration on elemental storms so they just cover the screen.
Never understood people who cry about prices like this. The build isnt unplayable without the item. Farm the currency and buy it. In 2 weeks it could easily be cheap again once everyone who wants one has one. Or switch to an off meta build. "This economy" just means "I wish my items were cheap".
The reason I like this build is because there's so many chase expensive uniques that work with it, the max mana & freeze immunity ring would be a massive upgrade, also both life/mana unique flasks would be crazy strong on this build.
I love your videos and you update like crazy and give all that info but holy hell everytime I look for new gear pieces they are now like 2-50 divines. I just got going on like t13 maps and such and while things are going great I only have like 13k tooltip dps on spark and not even sure how you got so much money. I'm sure doing end game content and bosses helps but how much money do you think you have invested into your character and how did you build that up? Only been like a week and a half since launch :)
have you thought about using the final points getting close to hundred to get the keystone that lets you use life flask for es. its 5-6 points and gives a jewel socket
Hi Lance, any thoughts on the Lightning Conduit builds? I've seen Lexyu posting guides but the 1/2 shots on bosses with 6m damage in a single hit strikes me as something likely to be struck by the nerf hammer while Archmage Spark feels a bit more reasonable given the power tied to investment.
One question I've got for you, does considered casting still work for cast on freeze or things like that if you never took it out of the links? Because I hovered over it and it says it's not supposed to go into cast on freeze but I've got it in there. I'm wondering if I can tell without removing it whether or not it's increasing my damage. I'm afraid to take it out now
Its a solid budget option currently because it works with CI BUT i do not believe it is intended to work with CI? my guess is it will be patched but yes for the time being its worth about 700-800 es with a 60% conversion corruption
@@ScarekroW the health conversion is calculated before CI sets your health to one. I was running it with eldritch battery so I could have es and a big mana pool
@@ScarekroW This is how it works in poe1, yes. Because they changed the way all conversion math works in poe2, this is not how it works there. Ghostwrithe is looking at your base life pool prior to CI reducing it to 1, meaning that you get a bunch of extra ES based on that total instead of your post-CI total. They currently synergize extremely well.
not sure whats going on but im following your build / tree. For some reason im dying instantly when attacked from creeps. The dmg doesnt go to Mana or Energy shield. And since i have 1 hp from chaos inoculation i die instantly. Any thoughts anyone ?
Are you using spark or arc? Cuz i was using arc with his build cuz i thought it was better for boss fights but its complete dogshit in delerium and rituals. Cuz with spark you can just prefire it and fill the area before the mobs spawn but with arc you have to wait for them to spawn and then you attack and in de meantime ur prolly already getting hit.
I imagine I'm hardly the first person to ask this but, what's the thought on using breach rings? Does the 50 quality bonus not scale with belt bonus how you'd want it to? seems like it'd be a way to get insane mana from rings.
Thanks for the update! Is it worth using the unique shield if we can only get 2 sockets on it? Also, what are the breakpoints for lower rolls? You mentioned it at 650, so I assume every 50? so like 500, 550, 600, 650 etc?
talking about mana recovery. A little more north of where witch tree stats that's only a few nodes away from where of your tree ends in that direction, the notable mana node is % increased mana recovery, wouldn't that theoretically be a straight up more multiplier to mana regen?
Considered casting is a 19% more damage support. Makes it slightly less fluid but helps a bit with mana cost. Inspiration doesn't add damage but helps more with mana cost.
Hi CaptainLance, was just wondering how you got so much ES and MANA. all my gear has the stats but i am only sitting at 1500 es and 2500 mana with Eldrich bat turned on
About to be on Vacation for 2 weeks. And I am just hitting Maps with this build. I'm ready to farm and make it nasty. Thanks for the updates! Been easy to follow.

Electrocution gloves solves the map survivability issue for me without having to use any shield

The fact is that Pierce allows Spark not to disappear instantly. Without it, Duration doesn't make sense.
Mana-man is at it again!
amulet went from 40exalt to 2 divine which is equivalent to 120exalt. Oh boy the economy is starting to become unbearable.
Im 99% sure it was small group ppl who drive pricebof divs up. was watching it other day started 12ex

Mana is going to be the most expensive build. Your best in slot ring is literally a mirror
Continuous pumps and dumps made divs go from 6/7ex to 50 over night
You could’ve watched live on currency exchange

it takes a ridiculously expensive necklace to even start up. without the necklace build isnt even viable.

How do you get more links on elemental storm
Skills from ascendancies get more sockets as you level up, I don't know what the breakpoints are.

Not related to the build...but how are you loading the atlas tree and map so fast?? Mine always has a 2sec loading animation
Try to run poe2 on ssd
Why not a focus instead of a shield? Just defensive reasons?
Also, If I only have a 5 link for Spark, which support gems are priority?
What do you think about "Morior Invictus
Grand Regalia" this chest (with 5 socket and right rolls) gives the same +35% mana
Which anoint are you using yourself at the moment then? And would the lucky non-crit be the bis endgame if it's possible to get?
Took me 10 boss kills until I saw the belt drop

The unique belt and amulet are key. The amulet is super expensive too
So you have EB + CI + MOM allocated ? Do you have the amulet ?
Atziri's Disdain passes 20% of damage directly to life if MOM is not allocated
You probably still have atziris disdain on.
Amazing build. Could you please post a guide on how you do rituals? It's so hard to consistently do them and not get swarmed and die.

Hi. Why Chronomancy skill node? is it that good?

Use a percentage increase calculator
Anyone know where the shield is from? Is it a boss drop or is it a giga orb of chance farmer?
Trial or chaos I think. Trial master drops all the corrupted vaal things.
Trialmaster, need to do 3 ultimatums to get all fragments
Not sure where he gets so much mana regen is it all his gear or what?
talking about mana recovery. A little more north of where witch tree stats that's only a few nodes away from where of your tree ends in that direction, the notable mana node is % increased mana recovery, wouldn't that theoretically be a straight up more multiplier to mana regen?
it is not sadly
It says increased, so it's just additive. The difference with mana regen nodes is that this would also apply to flasks and leech.
In PoE 1 this is a more multiplier to increase in regen. Not sure about Poe2 but my guess is yes
@joeanon8568 they are right, i checked in game and it works differently than in poe1. This is what messed me up.
How is your spark lvl 25? I have +4 wand and lvl 19 spark I have only lvl 23. Did you corrupt your spark to +1 lvl from 20 uncut skill gem?
Focus
That would be the only explanation given his gear
@NJKxFaNaTic all these builds are dead for normal players now.
Everything cost between 2 div and 50 div
Should I take out considered casting for inspiration
Considered casting is a 19% more damage support. Makes it slightly less fluid but helps a bit with mana cost. Inspiration doesn't add damage but helps more with mana cost.
How are you using blink with 100 spirit?
weapon swap
You put it in weapon set 2. I think subtractum made a vid on it.
Disable archmage on weapon set 2 and enable blink only on weapon set 2
How do i get mana regenerate my mana regenerate is 290
more mana regen on the tree and gear and also stack more max mana. The ascendancy will scale your mana regen with max mana
my problem rn is that my skills cost way to damn much. i need a greater jewelers bad for inspiration
Lemme guess, shield is already 10x more expensive :)
Literally, looked at wands for this build and in the last like 3 days they have gone up like 450% in cost it’s crazy.
