Archmage Storm Brand Hierophant - 9+k ES 9+k Mana - ultimate damage


Welcome exiles, I would like to introduce you to Storm Brand Archmage Hierophant. This build is strong and has a very good defense. In the late phase, we have more than 9k ES and 9k mana available.

The current build costs about 40-50Ex but it is not necessary to make an investment immediately. This build is playable without expensive parts, but you need to play more carefully.

Helmet
Spoiler
The mindspiral helmet is cheap and is ideal due to the amount of mana in this build. Adds a lot of mana, ES and damage. The ideal helmet enchant is more damage for Storm Brand, but the mindspiral with this upgrade costs more than 30EX

Body armor
Spoiler

The ivory tower with 6 connected sockets costs approximately 4-5Ex. Ideally, 5 sockets are blue and one is white to change the lightning penetration for a chain support socket.

The ivory tower is difficult to replace due to potential immunity to chaos damage, but for the start it is possible to use a tabula rasa, due to sockets or any rare armor with six connected sockets and attributes increasing mana and energy shield.

Boots
Spoiler
Skyforth boots are ideal for this build, but they are not absolutely necessary. The price of Skyforth is around 2 Ex. The most important thing about these shoes is immunity to stunning and reduced mana reserve. From the beginning, the shoes can be replaced by any shoes with high movement speed, resistances, mana and energy shield.

Gloves
Spoiler

Voidbringer gloves are very cheap and extremely increase the chance of critical hit spells. Due to Archmage support, increasing the cost of spells also increases damage.

Belt
Spoiler
Stygian vise is the best choice due to socket extension attributes. When looking for a belt, it is necessary to focus primarily on strength, although the amulet reduces the necessary attributes to use items and skills, it is still necessary to achieve approximately 90 strength. Next we focus on resistance, mana and energy shield.

Weapons
Spoiler

When looking for a weapon, we focus on Spell damage, critical strike chance for spell, mana, critical strike multiplier for spell and lightning damage.

We will use a prism guardian as a shield. It reduces mana reservation, increases the level of aura gems, supports gems with bloody magic and gives a large amount of resistance. It is necessary to insert gems with an aura into this shield.
-Wrath
-Discipline
-Zealotry

Flasks
Spoiler

The bottles must be immune to bleeding, cursing and freezing.

Rings + amulet
Spoiler

When choosing rings, we focus on resistance. After replacing rare armor with unique ones, the rings can be more expensive to fill the resistance cap. As additional attributes we need mana and energy shield.


The amulet gives us a huge amount of mana and reduces the necessary attributes to equip. To improve the amulete, I recommend Heart of Thunder, which increases damage and adds energy shield leech.

Jewels
Spoiler

This piece of equipment is very expensive, but greatly increases the amount of energy shield.

We put a fevered mind into every free socket.

For better information on the location of individual sockets, see the Passive tree.
