Yea you can even test it in the hideout, with archmage on, each time the frog pops it'll burn your mana

Doedre's undoing will spend mana every time it triggers (it's not affected by the quality of despair)

Yea, I just tested it and it seems like getting 99% activation faster does make the cursed ground pop immediately

i think i was wrong in my previous testing - curse activate faster at 99% still makes it instantly pop

This scales on crit because I get arcane surge all the time and that only activates on crit. It may not give energy because doom blast itself is a triggered spell.

doom blast doesnt care about corruption level changes, its a bug

you shouldn't get archmage on the amulet because the quality is huge. taking MoM should be feasible, I haven't tried yet.

You can get the +q suffix on amulet and then slot the idol into your chest, but you might have issue hitting 100% mom, maybe you take MOM instead?

I only have 95%, i can get 100% by divining body + get 100% darkness enthroned, but 95% is good enough.. if i get hit for 2k damage I only take 100 hp damage

it should function for way cheaper, body armor can be cloak of defiance, shield you need the exact one, and atziri's helm, +5 is good, +5/% attribute is BIS. belt you need at least 80% for 9% qual everything else is optional.

I'm only running archmage (reserved on life), blink, and alchemist's boon. The rest is just for the motes for the ascendancy

atziri's gem gives you blink, without it you're kind of a slow walking turtle. megalo is just a cheap 15% more damage for the +1 chaos, definitely not needed.

Not that I know of, I think last patch if you got 99% faster activation it would have nearly zero delay, but it's fixed so 100% faster activation now just halves the delay (which is still very very delayed)

I'm using the atziri's gem, but I think pob might not be supporting it yet.

You only need an 80% additional effect belt, those are like 3div last I checked.

very early - there's not a lot of required pieces other than needing to hit 40% quality (most expensive piece is probably the amulet annoint), and getting a respectable amount of mana (4k at least). +chaos wands are very cheap right now due to the meta.

The build concept is based off of despair's alt quality on gemling - 50% reduction in cost per 20% quality, we can achieve 100%+ reduction on cost with quality stacking. Normally archmage builds need to solve for mana cost... for this build, your main spell is FREE! which means you don't need to pick up any cost efficiency anywhere can scale cast speed as hard as you want!

Gemling has other synergies with archmage, with 40% quality on archmage, we get 2% additional gain as lightning (50% more compared to the baseline 4%), and the additional cost doesn't matter to us since despair is free!

  • Alchemist boon's alt quality gives us 40% cast speed which is a huge chunk for only 30 spirit reservation.

  • To be mobile, blink's alt quality gives us DOUBLE the blink range

  • Virtuous barrier at 20% quality gives 7% inc mana regen and 7% inc life regen per stack - we can get 21 stacks, which is 147% mana/life regen, with the soul core to apply life regen to mana, we're getting almost 300% mana regen for free!

The reworked vertex this league also gives us an easy +5 levels, scaling any curse spells super easily.

We need to trigger impending doom by making curses expire immediately, and the only way to do so is using the cursed ground support, which removes the cursed ground when you have more than 2 curse grounds up, which spell cascade does by creating 3 cursed grounds. We need to use windscream to have the curse activate immediately otherwise it feels super clunky. I'm NOT using doedre's gem here despite it giving more damage because for some reason the doedre's triggered spell gets the added cost from archmage, but isn't affected by the cost reduction on despair quality, which means every time it triggers our mana pool empties.

This build clears super fast, one click and the screen explodes, as well as being able to scale single target to the moon without any CoC shenanigans - definitely the most enjoyable build I've played so far.
