Note(s):
1- This video took forever to make as i had to level a new character for it, if you think it helped you then consider dropping a Superthanks as it greatly helps me making more content like this one, thank you for being Awesome!
2- EHP numbers shown in PoB don't take our massive regen into consideration, and they are what makes this build tanky.
3- Any item slot can be filled with ANY rare item you find/buy with basic stats like (life, mana, resistances), unless the unique item recommended in the video is not called "optional".
4- When i said "Recent changes to Hierophant Ascendancy" i meant the one which grants more spell damage with Arcane surge.

Sorry to say but I think you’re a bit behind on patch notes. Arcane Cloak on left click no longer works, you need to 4-link it with the new Automation support, which sadly for us increases cooldown recovery. And you’re skipping Archmage support? Running 8K mana in your build, will results in approx 1600 flat lightning dmg.

great video im coming back to poe after a few years and this build looks like a great one to come back with

I died at lvl 55 to one of Einhar's harvest beasts... idk what modifiers it had on it but it stunned me and did lots of damage fast... Was really starting to feel strong too. Damage and resistances were great... Great video and build. Wil definitely make another when I get over this lose haha

[epictrueness]

I wonder if the new version of archmage support would benefit this build, having all that mana and archmage costing much less than before.

Thanks for the amazing guide....I took the time to put all 10 leveling POBs into 1 for you with some link coloring for better overview, so people don't have to copy + paste 10 different POBs. 🥴

Nn8TxYYpc1fs (sadly cant post the full pob link here, just put this alphanumerics in front of the usual POB link part)

Just one question, what 6 link gems/items/Passive setup do we run before endgame POB in early maps?....Becasue Awakened gems, cluster jewels, etc... aren't that cheap early league.

I made a "Early Mapping" section for you in every category (items, tree and skills), maybe you could add us some early items and passive skills there that you would recommend and update the POB + post it.

Thank you. 🙂

[soropoe]

really appreciate the effort you put to test and level a character to its fullness to make a video. As a build maker myself, i know how hard it really is to create a genuine guide.👍

[wulphjay]

will you be planning on doing an update video or updating your pinned notes in regards to any changes that may make the build better or worse with the new changes in the leagues? if so i will keep an eye out eagerly!

[zsoltszabo]

I'm struggling with this build in red tier maps. Damage is good, but where does the defense coming from? Is is a glasscannon build or?

[stephenjohnson]

I went to your channel last night and thought.. oh man... I hope Phoenix posts something to anticipate 3.24... and like magic, you have. Arc no less. Thank you for the great content as always.

[tadasrimkus]

quick note, maybe it would be simple to have multiple trees in single POB rather than 11 POBs? but nice build guide, trying to get my wife to get back to POE and this one looks like it is not overcomplicating things :)

[Soei]

Will try this, going to rebuild my Shockwave totem into your build. Fingers crossed. 🙂

[sSulSs]

ON the POB you have Wrath linked to Eternal Blessing, however, doing this completely renders Clarity and Herald of Thunder useless. Why do you recommend this setup? Am i missing something?

[pinkflower]

why do you have different pobs for differents acts instead of just 1 big PoB ?

[Casual_ND]

It's a nice blueprint for an arc build, i'll probably pivot into archmage

[marcellobeats]

When you swap increased crit dmg with archmage you gain a huge dps boost

[alexikopelevitch]

What about transfigured gems? are there any better then the base version? aseptically if using archmage?

[wulphjay]

finally, a self cast arc build i want to actually play! thank you!

[lnx]

I'm just starting poe and I'm going to use this build, thanks 😮

[ibnudermawan]

great guide, would deffinetly try this
