[3.25] The Lazy Nova - Archmage MoM Crit Ice Nova of Frostbolts with Svalinn

Quick question, is this wand considered good enough to put the tormented mod on it?

Not as it currently is but if you can afford the enchantment you can afford enough spell damage essence to make it much better. It has the second best fracture overall (hybrid mana/spell damage is the rarest overall roll so getting it as a frac makes it easier to roll for a perfect or near perfect wand) and can likely be rolled into one good enough with a div or two worth of essences. The one consideration is imbued vs profane wands, the build desperately wants a lot of cast speed to make it play more smoothly but stacking past a certain point provides very diminishing returns due to mana costs.

My wand for comparison, I bought a t2 hybrid fracture for 15 divs and threw about a div in essences at it for a pretty good wand (most similar wands on trade were 50+ divs at the time and probably cost more now) and then slapped the enchant on it.

Yesterday I was lucky with implicing Corrupted Blood mod. I chose Stormshroud because it was relatively cheap (~ 1.5d) and it took less than 30 tries.
And now I think build is pretty much complete. Perhaps like someone wrote earlier, rare bases should be es/ar or pure es, but it does not seems to harm. And they had open suffixes which helped me since pre-block transition to balance resis so I am a little attached to them :).

I gave up almost all manually activated skills, if you exclude Vaal ice nova there is only LMB for moving and RBM for casting.

Additonally I have to say that this build in general seems to be able to utilize any number of skill points and jewel socket. In some other builds I played before, some last points were a little meh, do not do a lot, but not in that case :D

This is an absolutely beautiful version of the build! I love the Sublime Vision so much in your build, the SAP is amazing!

And the QOL of the wand looks wonderful!

Congrats on a fantastic version of the build.

Some comments/questions:

*One question I have is Prismatic Heart. Since you don't need the elemental resistances, is the 30% increased damage alone better than any other node on those large clusters?

*I may be missing it on the tree, but are you at 90% crit reduction? I can only locate two tattoos for crit reduction. In case this is only 90%, it looks like you have room for two more tattoos to make you crit immune if that is something you are interested in.

* Have you tried swapping 10% reduced Mana cost of skills for +1 to Intensity stacks? You may find you won't miss the reduced cost and the DPS boost is pretty good from Intensify at 4.

Thank You for appreciation!

Regarding your questions, I have 4 anti-crits tattoos, but they are a little messy spreaded in tree, so it is easy to miss.

From this type large jewels (12% lightning damage) only switch to Overshock seems to be worth of attention. It provide similar bonus to damage like Prismitic Heart but also should make shock and sap easier to cap. I chose PH, because of altar debuffs in maps and for bosses I switch gold flask with res for gold flask with crit so I am less relying on Bottled Faith and power charges with crit chance. But since You mentioned it, maybe there are entirely differents types of jewels with betters Passives. I will check this :)

For mapping I can not use Intensify, because I like farming abysses and Caster Mastery with auto-opening chests/hoards is probably the best QOL ever in that strategy. But for bosses it is definitely an option, thanks for sugestion.

Hello I've been following this build for a while now, it saved my league after I didn't like the SST bleed glad so thank you :)

Here is my build, I don't really know what I can tweak more for the currencies I have left, I think I'll just leave it as is and grab the 40 challenges

Hello.

You should consider changing the magic granite flask as Rumi's is already a granite flask base and you can't use two flasks of the same base at the same time.

And since we are not really scaling armor in the build, you may find having stun immunity as a suffix more beneficial in the long run with what ever new base you decide on.

I do not understand why you chose to use +1 to minimum endurance charges. I do not think that helps the build.

For the flask, it was an attempt to check if going to 79% phys reduction would do something, I have a sulphur flask with the stun immune.

I also hesitate to drop the rumi to get a bottle faith.

For the endurance charge, since it's 4% phys & elemental damage isn't it worth ?

Ignore my comment about the Endurance Charge. I was confused when you mentioned Lord of the Dead, and did not realized it was transformed into Enduring Faith. What you did was excellent!

What's the best Pantheon combo if you have Stormshroud immunity?

If you have BOTH stun immunity and ailment immunity, Lunaris is the recommended major, and what ever you like for the minor (many use Abberath just so we don't have to worry about burning ground.)

I don't think you have stun immunity so you want to stay with Brine King as the major IMO.

Gotcha. I decided to path down to Unwavering Stance and then go Lunaris. I'll probably try to snag a Sublime Vision to get curse immunity. Build feels better already coming from a lot of RF in the past lol.

EDIT: Got the Sublime Vision. So I am stun, ailment, and curse immune with 93M damage.
