" No, the whole point of Archmage is to spend as much mana as possible. If you reduce the mana cost, you reduce the added flat damage, which is the core of build's DPS. Also, you'd lose a valuable damage multiplier by sacrificing a different support gem. |

" He finally accepted that the Elementalist ascendancy is total garbage for this build. It offers practically nothing at this point because golems are impossible to keep alive in the current meta and GGG nerfed Beacon of Ruin into the ground a few leagues ago. Meanwhile, the Necromancer ascendancy offers amazing buffs to sustain and damage mitigation and some good buffs to DPS, too, all at the cost of our corpse-generating and -consuming engine, which only needs 3 gems and 1 crafted wand affix to work.

" The base you choose for your body armor is pretty much irrelevant, as long as you can get all 6 sockets blue. If you're crunched for time, I'd recommend going for Cloak of Defiance--it's awesome for the build and is a lot less work than trying to craft or find something as good. Same with amulet; just pick up an Atziri's Foible. It's also amazing for the build and requires about 1% of the time/effort it takes to get a BiS rare. Choir of the Storm is OK at best because we're not going crit this league. |

" Are you wearing Atziri's Foible? Aside from being a huge boost to your mana pool, the global reduced attribute requirements on it are very helpful here. |

" Ditch one of the mana flasks altogether, having 2 is not going to help you at all. Easy and cheap to replace it with one of these: Don't bother trying to go for 2 curses, it's not worth the investment. Conductivity will be better overall. Enfeeble is great early on, but once you get another 10-20 levels, you really shouldn't even notice the difference with enough mana and mana sustain. I'd focus on your belt first, you're really missing out on life and mana and an abyssal jewel slot. Then gloves, then wand/shield/body armor (I honestly would not worry about the boots yet). Try to get a Crown of the Inward Eye with an Arcane Cloak enchantment, that will be a big overall upgrade. |

" Wow, was totally unfamiliar with that website, so thanks for that. Super interesting, though it takes forever to load. I don't think it captures everything in the configuration section, so I wouldn't treat it as a real substitute for PoB fork. Also, the skills section is super jacked up (not sure if it's the tool or your specific link). This is the best I can figure out: https://pob.party/share/otinororikooru Looks like 5.7m Sirus DPS, but I think it should be a bit more at the very least with the real PoB. Send me a real PoB link and I'm totally happy to help you configure that! Last edited by WorderMostFoul on Aug 22, 2020, 12:33:47 PM

Hey @WorderMostFoul
Sorry for the double tap but I'm at a loss at how to figure out the below - if you could lend a hand that would be awesome! How did you get both %spell damage and the %spell damage+mana regen craft on your wand? I'm pretty much up to the last step of adding on that craft(spell damage+mana regen), but it's saying I already have a mod of that type: |

" Intersting... I personally hate everything with minions so necro isnt an optioon for me. I played his Arc witch a while ago (I think it was Betrayal league). At that time he used elementalist. Shaper and Beacon worked great for me. I also used Calamity since I wanted to avoid minions/golems. Was this before or after nerfs? Also he mentioned in his guide to pick up minion buffs to apply those to the player. Now I am searching for the skill but cant find it anymore. Do you know what I am talking about? It was similar to Necromantic Aegis I think. Nvm I am blind. Its Spiritual Aid Last edited by Spitzhorn_Eule on Aug 22, 2020, 3:45:10 PM

Hey Guys,
I really did not want to do this, but I seem to be stuck. its 2nd time I'm playing seriously PoE, my very first guide that I tried was Enki's arc witch Elementalist I think in delve league. Anyway, I read the guide so many times, did the improvements that I could. I did go through some discussion pages over here to see if I have missed something. Anyway, the problem that I find is that I'm dying. got to lvl 93 and stuck, today from 70% exp I went down to 5% and got upset for the wasted time. I would like someone to take a look at my gear and tell me what's wrong. As I'm still new to the game I'm pretty bad understanding all the mechanics. maybe some items I got are not good together or something. Would really appreciate some help. |

" You just started and your gear is this good? Your flasks are wrong, you need instant recovery for the life and remove bleeding, you don't need the remove freeze or shock. Onslaught is better to have increased duration with remove curses and the armor one needs increased duration with more armor. The other items are pretty good imo, i'm kinda jealous tbh. |
