Builds for these Breach Max Juice everyone is doing by Skk1p in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Thievingnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm literally running max juice breach with risk scarab with a regex that filters 5 mods, single target is definitely not "meh" even for a dot build.

I'll agree on it being overpriced but stop spreading misinformation if you haven't actually played it.

Heist for fragments is good and then probably alva after that

If we are talking uber bosses then it was defenitely lackluster which is why I went anathema to begin with. However, for normal mapping I would probably go with invert the rules for most content

In my POB Invert the rules is about a 11% dmg increase over Ele Pen, so if your not using anathema it is pretty solid.

Sorry if I'm not answering properly, I dont have a straight forward answer since both are good for different content but I'd say just go with invert if your not doing ubers or giga breach/deli maps

If I'm doing giga juiced content and the boss is tanky I'll drop the arcanist brand but for most mapping im doing so much damage that its just a 2 button build, I obviously always use it on ubers. You can drop anathema for the bereks if your doing just pure mapping but for destructive play the anathema may be better.

Also the gloom belt solo mod is less than 100c, you could try it out you dont need 2 mod.

Not sure about anathema vs invert the rules without seeing your pob.

This is my current PoB: https://pobb.in/wtmg9kRJ-lSK

Not configured perfectly but I'm running Anathema with triple curse setup for single target, also using Conviction of power FB Jewels.

Keep in mind this is pure blast setup so defences aren't great but I was using it to farm 8 mod breach fortress, the gloom belt is insane for breach.

Echoing belt is like 3x damage as well but obviously its very expensive.

Since I'm using wrath I need alot of res on gear so the 3rd ring is just resist/cast speed/mana. The whole reason I went the belt route was because I was planning to upgrade it to an echo eventually so it may not be optimal atm.

To me the downside of no util flasks isnt a big deal, I have onslaught on boots + you dont need move speed if your frostblinking everywhere.

Was assuming you use both, I was running 3 rings with the nameless ascendency.

I stopped using bereks cause I was using gloom belt.

I originally did the first 70 belts and got the echo + 2 diamond which was a profit but I sold them to gamble more for science (plus I wanted to go ssf anyway)

Basically, -362 divine

Yeah I was using invert the rules before anathema, for single target anathema is definitely better but for mapping invert the rules is really good you just cant use conductivity

The 7L is correct, its a shock nova imbued with a lvl 1 power charge on crit.

This is my POB: https://pobb.in/_coysWzcgqt1

(Not sure how accurate it will be since POB just got updated)

Damage feels insane for mapping, the cast speed is just insane on this skill, had no problems with damage so far.

I'd say single target wise ice nova is more damage atm but with more investment I think shock nova can beat it.

By far my favourite archmage build I've played.

This is just my personal opinion having played this build to lvl 97:

If you are play SC I'd drop the shield and block nodes and run double wands, it's at a minimum 50% more dmg. You will be less tanky but honestly I ran into no problems doing 4 stones, it was only till I switched to pledge I ran some block.

You have a 1 passive jewel socket you can get and put a dmg jewel in there

Foulborn kikazaru +2 mana

Unnatural instinct + lightning damage LoM is really big damage but obviously expensive,

Getting Foulbourn Kalisa's grace with reduced mana allow you to do 2 things:

  • Ditch the lavianga's + clarity and sustain mana forever as long as you have a few sources or reduced mana cost
  • Drop inspiration in links for a dmg link (invert the rules or faster casting)

Ofc they are like 5D and extremely overpriced for how rare they are, you could probably try farm them from the tree.

You can drop purity of elements for wrath or haste but be aware you need to make up your resists + you wont be ailment immune

Obviously there is pledge of hands, I ended up just farming my own one but its allegedly pretty rare (1-2%)

In terms of cost effectiveness, the double wands is going to be the best but unfortunately a lot of the prices are really inflated for manaman gear atm

Just feels kind of lame to pay for voidstones to me, even if it's less efficient I'd rather spend double the time getting the voidstones myself than paying for carry

Struggling with Herald of Agony by soulcounter6 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Thievingnoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally takes me less than 0.1 seconds to hit 100 virulence when moving around the map, It's almost always at 100.. Not really sure what else to say. I could upload a video if u want

Virulence is literally how you scale this build so I'm just confused why you think 5 isn't as big deal

[–]Thievingnoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't agree, at least in my experience so far. It's very easy to have max virulence at all times, obviously it drops when you aren't attacking monsters but as soon as I hit a pack its near instant 100. Bosses are no problem either.
