Note(s):
1- This is not a League Starter guide, follow the YT link in the description for that.
2- This build is unplayable without the rare ring, you REALLY need it's mana regen.

[Absurd]

thank you for the guides! im going to play this it looks awesome!

I swapped Lightning Warp out for Frostblink of Wintry Blast, and Swift Afflictions for Archmage, and it’s honestly so much fun if you haven’t tried it! It genuinely clears packs on its own. First time with an Arc build / Hiero, and I’m having a blast

[dermosquitor]

Dang boy i love how much you love this build. Played it twice now and usually dont get to play a second build so i am gonna play lightning strike this time but nice thats is still viable💪Its a nice real build witch really feels lika a mage!

[nianticseizure]

can always count on your timely uploads mate

[MooseMeus]

im going to level using arc, but will switch to ball lightning later.

[NoOneChannelll]

oh damn a tanky lightning arc, this will be my 2nd league build now, thanks :)

[psilocyben]

You convinced me to level with arc instead of storm brand. Thanks for the video.

First Time visiting this Channel, this was very well explained and thoroughly understood. Glad you added a Leveling Guide as well. Great Build and Presentation! I will try out the build myself.

What would be a good alternative to Brass Dome other than Cloak of Defiance if I wanted to keep the character a bit more tanky than the higher DPS version?

[roxikroxik]

hey, do you plan to update the flicker strike build for new league?

[EliteTypeZ]

Hey, very nice build! I wonder if it's good for Simulacrum? Can you go up to wave 30? (or 15 in 3.25)

[imanol]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make the ring craft for the higher dps version? please

[francoisherrero]

how do you manage mana? is there a regeneration cap?

[Bloodterst]

how do you make the spell cluster? not many on market at all

In the Leveling guide, You have Eternal Blessing on Wrath, but also have Clarity and Herald of Thunder. When i try activate Wrath, it turns off the Clarity and Herald Of Thunder. I gather the levling tree hasn't been updaded for 3.25? Also, the cheeper endgame version uses Crakling Lance not Arc, is this correct?

[LAKPA]

I've put all the righteous gen with the support gems but I cannot manage my hp?

[massimilianomassimino]

i m using cheaper build for
Hi, I use the less expensive version, but now I would like to start becoming more tanky, which pieces make me more tanky, where can I start to progress from first to final spec if I don't have the currency to take everything directly? I start from the tree, from belt from what? Thanksnow, how

I shifted over to this build after my initial league starter failed. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but this build is so squishy that I have problems staying alive in white maps. Of course, I don't have all the gear yet for end game, but I am not sure why this build says it's tanky. It is not tanky until you get every last piece of gear. One good hit or if you get surrounded pretty much takes all your mana and you're lucky if you have enough left to use a movement skill. I end up running around in circles trying to get my mana to regen. I use a mana flask, but that's not enough. There's no spell suppression or armor. There is no evade or dodge of any kind. Basically, zero defensive layers. The POB shows a Brass Dome chest with six white sockets. 99% of players in POE will never be able to pull that off. Getting any armor base to be able to use six blue sockets is a pretty big investment and is certainly not league starter friendly. I am just going to delete this level 82 Hierophant and start again with a melee character on the bottom of the skill tree that has access to some defensive layers that a casual can gain access too. I am done trying to play templar or witch.

I have a question - I am following the cheaper one without the headhunter but the militant faith timeless jewel changes Deep Thoughts to Smite the Wicked so you lose ~800 mana. How to prevent this? It's the same one with Dominus and Ele Res/Ele damage
