Guys, for anyone, who wonders how pierce is taken on an amulet - it’s an anoint: you need to hover “pierce” nod on a skill tree, press alt and it will show which distilled mats are needed for it to be anointed
Nice build my dude, I theory crafted something very close to this before launch and I'm glad its working. One very clever thing you added into this build besides the amulet worth a mirror atm was the pierce from Anoint and Gems. That alone is SO much damage you're adding to the build and I think needs to be made clear if you do a build guide. Bravo
@@jonathanquinn5158 you can get the recipe from the passive atlas tree. SSearch for the name of the anoint (piercing shot), over it with a mouse and tap alt to display more infos In this case you need in this specific order: Disgust, Guilt, Disgust
This is an amazing build. I have tried to emulate whatever you mentioned in the video. Thanks for sharing all the details bro! Kudos! PS - Could you also share what you've done with your Atlas skill tree in a follow up video? Thanks!
@@vaelisiousantorus If I had money to spend on the game, I would of bought mtx to support GGG. Its not hard to make currency when you are one of the first players to T15s and could sell them for 10ex each, also as I knew what gear I needed I was the first to look for this stuff, prices change as more people become aware.
Super expensive build, but I've got a good headstart on it. I have the amulet and a pretty decent filler wand. I had to jump from T10 maps to T3 for now with this build until I can round out the gear/jewels/specs. After they nerfed my cast on freeze build, I was happy to try something new out
Hey great guide rerolled my sorc after comet nerf (RIP ;() this build in early endgame is working great! Quick question how did you get that pierce node on right side of the tree? Is it from piercing shot allocation on the neck and what is that allocation even mean? Thanks for any help!
Items that drop from delirium allows you to annoint extra passive on amulet. When you hover over passive skill in tree and hold inspect key you will see which distillator you need.
Thoughts on getting +30 spirit on body so that you can use Grim Remnants? It effectively would double your ES pool, so dropping a bit of ES on the chest to say 12k, you could get to 24k es after a few packs of white mobs.
How u got so much dps on ur spark? I flw ur guide on my lvl 16 + 3 from wand but only got around 6k, is 3 levels that important? Im having eldrict batery and my gears all have pretty good es max, es increased and max mana ...
In what order would u go in passive tree ? what nodes are must have and what nodes are a bonus, or how will the tree look like around 60-70 brackets and around 2k ES?
If you need more tank get ES nodes. (Max es and faster es). Mana regen get the mana nodes. Damage get the lightning nodes. I'd suggest getting a good balance of each as you gear.
Would you do Unleash instead of Controlled Destruction gem support on Spark? I understand without controlled destruction you can also annoint Lightning rod to scale crit. Wanna hear your thoughts
Have you considered other forms of ES sustain like Zealot’s Oath? I’m not sure if there are good enough sources of regen for it, but relying on recharge to not get interrupted doesn’t seem great
What are your thoughts on grabbing Dreamcatcher near Eldritch Battery? It would give you 155% increased ES from your Focus, which has 200 ES, which means you'd get another 310 flat ES which then gets scaled by your %ES which at 400% would be another 1550 ES for 4 points
Would normal shield with high block be better for survival? Sacrafice some ES for ~50% block for more survi? Or focus with your over 10k ES is good enough to tank everything
Question but intentions on actually getting the pierce support, stacking duration on jewels to make up for duration support, and anoint non-crit lightning is lucky? PoE1 experience points to that being a great damage gain.
It's not a bad idea, however, the emotions needed for lucky lightning are completely unavailable. I don't even see them on trade at least last night. So for now pierce seems like a good solution.
I really love this build I gotta say. I got my build similar as you but I also got the Potent Incantation node. I'm not sure if that is good because it also gives -5% cast speed.
does piercing work on sparks? The feeling that they will do it without piercing. It's just as if it's better to smear a lightning rod so that lightning damage is lucky
Do you see any point in going EB+MOM. i think with that amulet, it wil give you ES based on your max mana, not sure if its bugged but it still gives you energy shield even with EB i heard. not sure how much ES you will end up with, but youll have a shit ton more mana i think
hello realy cool guide, i would suggest you try fork with spark it's relay strong (especially with the unique ring that allow fork without downside) thanks for the overview ! Also rising tempest work, it proc out of spark once aswell has any other spell (even lightning one, it would also proc out of tempest caller)
@@Squishy2244I was wondering if you knew chance orbs on sapphire rings can hit a dream fragment. I’m pretty new and can’t afford one the good old fashion way
@levivass idk what is lance's setup so cant help you, I play mom and EB and feels great. Only thing that i feel is lacking around t10 maps are resists. I have around 40% of each ele resist, 3200 mana and sometimes I get 1 shoted from some random ass shit. But often I survive, can back up for few seconds and back to full mana.
When I enable Archmage I don't get a 3x time damage buff like you, only about 20-30%. What could be wrong? I'm level 71 though, so maybe I missed a vital passive somewhere... Got 5K ES and 1.5K mana.
Amulet is currently 30ex+ , decent weapon is 6 7ex , you can put rest of the gear for starting for 10ex , his gear is amazing all 150mana with high es , especially his chest 900es probably only one in the game , if you wanna start and keep going check captainlance then transition to this. Its what im gonna do
Any way u do a "budget version" of the build ? I reroll yesterday all m'y gear so i'm poor now and I can barely clear t4, not running ci for now cause of my gear Who is still with life node
The build I'm running currently is meant to increase mana with eldritch battery, and take mind over matter, but also takes ES nodes. Those don't appear to be doing much. Have I been trolled? Is EB even viable? Should I just follow this build instead?
I am running EB but without MoM or CI. The idea is to stack as much Mana as possible and with Everlasting Gaze you will get decent base ES. This ES base will then be affected by ES nodes that increase the amount. EB for its own its a little complicated because we (as sorcs) dont have much defenses other than ES on the tree. The problem with EB+Everlasting Gaze is that you will also need chaos res on your gear, but you can use "suboptimal" gear for CI that has life and ES and it will still work for you :). Atm I have 1.5k life, 3.5 ES and 3.6 mana with 57%block on t10 maps (haven't played enough for more u.u)
yes and he is not the only one. a lot of CC's made almost zoomey builds on day 3-4. i dont know why everyone thought poe2 would be diablo 3 or something lol.

love the vid! Very informative
Nice. Yesterday I was looking for your character to see what you were running. I just finished the campaign and want to respect to a decent build
Hi! Thank you for the video. Would love to see the guide about how can I transition to this endgame variant!
can we have a written Guide for it? Passive Tree+Skills
Thanks for the video!
that's some dope harry potter gameplay
Excellent build, when you have time could you please upload an update with the latest ascendancy and a more finished tree? thanks.!
man the burning ground in t15 is brutal. Makes me miss soul of abberath so much haha
Question: wouldn't it be better to anoint Lightning Rod?
you can use Strip away for 30% more exposure on orb of storms

You should make a moabalytics guide for the build, so people who don’t know or are new to the game can follow a long.
but mana tempest gives chain to spark and you cannot chain when you peirce? is it worth it?
pierce is a must on map with doors because it will pass thought the mobs and bounce inside the room

need to know more about this as well
Please do a leveling guide for this one
What filter are you using now?
Skill tree for leveling would be nice
Like start to level 70 ish
Have you considered/tried MoM + EB? Seems like you could drop cast speed and maybe es recharge nodes if the mana pool gets high enough.
Hi, what the best gem setup for breach farming, and maybe tree changes or some items?
what is the link in your archmage

How did you get the Piercing Shot skill without going there?
Press alt over the node. You need distilled oils.
I would like to know what path you took to arrive here. Crazy stuff
Why arent you using "Eldrich Battery" node
Question but intentions on actually getting the pierce support, stacking duration on jewels to make up for duration support, and anoint non-crit lightning is lucky? PoE1 experience points to that being a great damage gain.
Thats actually a really good idea. I'll try it out and see if its better
there is no non-crit lightning is lucky

If you want to opt in to use Pierce, what would you annoint? And what would the link setup be?
@@meowzerus He does.. he annoints for 50%, and get the rest from jewels.
what is linked to your archmage? also can you post your build planner?
How did you get Dream Fragments? It's at like 1 Mirror lol was it just super cheap at the beginning?
This was great, thanks for the build! What do you think about using eldritch battery + Mind over Matter with this build?
I think it's a decent alternative I'd you prefer the gameplay. I think this version can take a bigger one shot though.
What about your atlas skills tree ?
does piercing work on sparks? The feeling that they will do it without piercing. It's just as if it's better to smear a lightning rod so that lightning damage is lucky
what combination on distilled to alocate piercing shoot?
Do you see any point in going EB+MOM. i think with that amulet, it wil give you ES based on your max mana, not sure if its bugged but it still gives you energy shield even with EB i heard. not sure how much ES you will end up with, but youll have a shit ton more mana i think
How did you get this Piercing activated in the lower right side of the passive tree? :D
Build looks great. I'm a cast on freeze andy for the moment and not loving it, so I'm gonna try and grind up to this build.
hello realy cool guide, i would suggest you try fork with spark it's relay strong (especially with the unique ring that allow fork without downside) thanks for the overview !

Second this, wondering which setup I should go for after watching the latest CaptainLance video
@levivass idk what is lance's setup so cant help you, I play mom and EB and feels great. Only thing that i feel is lacking around t10 maps are resists.

what's the venom draught for this build?
which venom did u chose? mana first and second? (chaos res/all atri/ redu slowing potency)
What ES and mana u recommend to have on it to play safety on early maps?
Hi, Thanks for this - just curious what you took for the 2 permanent choice upgrades through the campaign?
No problem! Mana Regen, Charges gained, and either slowing potency or attributes i think is ok
Sweet! Thank you so much for getting back to me :)
Act 3 as a reward for a quest you can choose between 3 elexirs wich are permanent @@Gopstop222
if i dont have access to Dream Fragments ( so expensive ) what would you reccommend to swap it out for. Cheers dude! love the build guide
Just use two rare rings the same as my right one. Use the freeze charm and get energy shield stun nodes on tree.
@SquishyCS thanks bro 🙏
how can you get the pierce point in the passive tree?
Do you have make a build on a website?
I can´t see some of the passives you went for when you need to choose between Int, Dex or STR
What support do you use in Archmage?
When I enable Archmage I don't get a 3x time damage buff like you, only about 20-30%. What could be wrong? I'm level 71 though, so maybe I missed a vital passive somewhere... Got 5K ES and 1.5K mana.
same issue, let me know if you figure it out
Yeah, same issue here at 71. I can't scale spark in a meaningful way and due to that, the build simply doesn't work.
I think cast speed is the most important thing, look how many casts you can do per second.
@@Szymciak dont think cast speed gives "tooltip" damage. EDIT: its 100% the case lol cast speed goated
hi , what passive skill do you use for archmage? i tryed to put shock siphon but it dont work ont this spell
Hi, why you life bar is blue and can you tell me how you get that much shield? Thx
should i use pierce gem to support spark until i get it via other sources?
how do you get into the Piercing Shot node on the skill tree without unlocking previous branches into it?
Press "alt" over the node. You need distilled oils.
Ignoring Dream Fragments, how much currency do you need to get started on this build? Would 30ish ex be enough?
Yeah should be fine. Just get ES mana amulet.
Amulet is currently 30ex+ , decent weapon is 6 7ex , you can put rest of the gear for starting for 10ex , his gear is amazing all 150mana with high es , especially his chest 900es probably only one in the game , if you wanna start and keep going check captainlance then transition to this.
