[2.3] HieroMapper - CI Kinetic Blast 1 wand + shield, 11k+ ES + ES leech
|
Welcome to HieoMapper
Version 0.2 - MORE DAMAGE! (a LOT more) removed Obliteration wands (and changed build name), added a rare wand and a rare shield, optimized tree to scale more ES from Mana, removed Life to Mana and life to ES jewels, increased attack speed and damage with jewels, added section on Bandits. This is my first post on a complete build. I also have a life-version that works but I think is weaker. My goal was to make a strong (tanky) but good damage spell caster using the Hierophant's unique abilities. I'd like to thank Dela for his/her fantastic Obliterate Build https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1639777, which the main damage this build was based on... I've been wanting to get a decent Hierophant build running that utilizes some of the key ascendancy points. Until now, I've been focusing on MoM and have found it to be lacklustre. It's a long way to get to EB and it requires losing life-regen and it requires a significant investment into mana to run it without. For Defense, I'm using CWDT + Immortal Call supported by Increased Duration and 3 endurance charges (see next section for explanation), Frost Wall, ES refresh and Leech from our belt + helm leeches 0.72% physical, as well as Lightning Warp for escapes and hopping through the Labyrinth. For Offense, this build is still running Kinetic Blast with 3 Heralds for 11,919 DPS (so far) AND stacking damage from Pursuit of Fait (Hierophant point) @ 4% damage per kill - this damage buff stacks and I have seen over 40 stacks. So here's what I decided to do and why: Overview of Hierophant Ascendancy Passives Used
Spoiler
"Sanctuary of Thought" to help us with our maximum ES by giving us 25% of our max mana as ES, gain 150 to max mana with "Divine Guidance" while saying screw-it to the 10% MoM and go CI. Currently my character is level 85 and has 2907 mana (which is mostly reserved) as well as 10104 ES. We also get 50% cast-cost reduction as well as 100% cast-cost reduction when at full ES. The minor nodes give us +20% max mana and +40% mana regen in total.
"Conviction of Power" 25% chance to gain a endurance charge when gaining a power charge. Not a very good chance. But, if we add Romira's Banquet unique ring, we gain a power charge each time we don't crit and lose them all when we do. This cycles us through power charges quickly and gives us permanent 3 endurance charges to extend our CWDT+Immortal Call setup. The minor node gives us 20% endurance & power charge duration and 20% mana regen. "Pursuit of Faith" gives 4% damage per kill and it stacks. Our damage ramps up as the herald-buffed kinetic blast explosions cascade through packs. The minor node gives 20% more mana regen. Uniques and Their Functions in This Build

Buffs damage, leech 0.52% physical, has some ES Crit, leech, Rampage, some ES Permanent uptime on endurance charges due to interaction with "Conviction of Power" Leech 0.2% from physical (Kinetic Blast - our main attack) Gem Link Setup

Just a little hint.. if you use Pursuit of Faith you should definitely take a Mantra of Flames as well.. Each stack of Pursuit of Faith counts as a buff, so if you kill 50 monster, you would get 50x 4% spell dmg and 50x Mantra of Flames buff.. that can easily tripple your damage (depending on your build) :P

Had to figure this one out myself, as far as the lvling goes. I used rolling flames until around lvl 36, then started using kinetic blast. The tooltip DPS fell from 500 down to 60 and I got close to dying just trying out the skill. I revamped my gear, started using two Twyzel wands and got a bunch of flat physical on my gloves, rings and amulet. This helped a LOT!
I only have a 4 socket at the moment and no idea what gems to prioritize. I went with what I had on hand: added chaos, void manipulation, lesser multiple projectiles and kinetic blast. I am saving up for a 5l and plan to add poison. Playing hardcore I am at the end of act 4, currently lvl 44. Wearing pure armor on my chest and helm seems to work ok for the moment and my dps is pretty good, around 600. My questions: How important is spell damage? When buying a wand do I just go for what stats yours has? I need to go life based before I can switch to ci, what should I do different on the tree not to mess the build up? 🐢
