[3.26] MoM Crit Power Siphon Totem Hierophant

I played this build in 3.25 but the normal PS and not PS archmage with this pob(dont have my character anymore):
https://pobb.in/DQ5bT2Xh0wdG

Looking in pob this one still works and it gets around 26m dmg.
I'm curious as to why the current versions all focus on stacking the archmage PS instead normal PS with 5 power charges(50% more Critical Strike Chance,+100% to Critical Strike Multiplier)?

The difference is only in the helmet and the gem switch to PSotA.

PSotA grants flat lightning damage the same as Mind of the Council.

Here is your build with 3.26 tree: https://pobb.in/pWms8YqA340P

Here is the 3.26 version with helmet and gem swap: https://pobb.in/bqXX9B4FQ3NT

Basically it comes down to this. Using Wilma free's points. Power Siphon of the Archmage has the lightning tag. Means we can grab the High Voltage cluster for amazing value to get the crit back.

Not sure how I missed that.

The Piscator's Vigil Unique Wand is now found on the Kinetic Wand base type (previously Imbued Wand).

lmao. it's funny because it was one of the first things I noted, piscator lost it's implicit and we know nothing about new bases so it lost some of its damage.

I see, my setup with the old one was supposed to be interchangeable with PS, KB or KBoC, having the new KR transfigured gem that I want to try maybe my old setup is better for starters and I just change at the end to PSotA if I think the other's aren't as good.

Ty for the explanation.

Made a testrun to act 3 library.

Went with Lightning Tendrils + Orb of Storms

Holy Flame Totem > Into Stormburst spell totem at 12.

Was one of the easiest runs I have had so far.

I wanted to give an update on Keepers league.

Started as described with Storm Burst totem, Lightning Tendrils and Orb of Storms.
Was smooth sailing until 59.

Breaches gave so much currency that I could buy Piscator, Wilma, Scales of Justice and Power Siphon of the Archmage before 59. I switched before doing the second lab.

We need very good clear this league so opted for Fury Valve again which is no malus for us. Instead of Pierce we use Chain now. I am currently testing the wall but it has a super long cooldown and totems eat the wall very quickly.

To afford it I did Demolition, Engineering and Lockpicking contracts in Heist.

Some notes on supports I am using atm:

Arcanist Brand - Ice Golem - Assassins Mark
Frenzy - Cast on Crit - Tornado - Force Wall
Shield Charge - Attack Speed - Flame Dash
Arcane Cloak - Duration - Arcane Surge - Automation
Purity of Elements - Eternal Blessing

On top. I am probably not going to use Dance of the Offered again this league. I crafted a Sleepless Sentries cluster.

I am in early maps and it super strong. The clear is just nuts.

How are you solving life recovery without Dance of the Offered?

We have energy shield. Life Reg, Life Recoup and Life Flask.

On top there is the option to run Sorrow of the Divine flask. Yes it moves life reg to energy shield but on top it lets life flasks recover energy shield aswell as life.

Hey guys/gals. I wanted to give a quick update on how everything is going and what are some new techs this league.

I have reached level 94 while barely scratching the entry of T16 maps. Pretty wild! Breaches give sooo much xp.

Finished the atlas and bought two carries for Uber Elder and Maven to save time getting to them.

Mapping is an absolute breeze. The clear with Fury Valve + chain support is pretty nuts.

To not confuse you. I picked up a single abyss jewel in my belt with a cold damage to attacks roll. The notable and the chill mastery give me permanent chill of 17% on every enemy. If an enemy is chilled each second he gets 1% inc damage taken up to 10%. On top because everything is chilled I am allowed to put in Hypothermia support on single target instead of Chain support on bosses.

Another tech is "The Sorrow of the Divine". It is the new tech instead of Agnostic. Means we keep our energy pool and even could improve on it by getting Sanctuary of Thought into the build. You can do that by buying the cheapest ascendancy jewel combo and then speccing into it.

This is the first league where I am experimenting with Frenzy - Cast on Crit - Tornado - Force Wall. I am getting the Ice Golem and the Mark for Arcanist Brand on bosses. Nothing else lives long enough.

The damage of the tornado is fucking insane!!! You put down the totems. You curse the boss and then you spam Frenzy.

Btw take a look of my grafts. I made them myself. I got Jolt which seems pretty much broken to me. It procs on each Frenzy arrow. You can get grafts with very high spell damage on top. That is one of my goals for later too.

What is left to do? Not all gems are 20/20 yet. But I am getting there. Getting Awakened Lightning Pen to 5/20 would be nice for lightning exposure. Cannot find the beast on the market to level awakened gems. Wierd.

Of course we want that suuuper expensive graft for fork/chain later :D

With Foulborn Kikazaru and Purity of Elements we are ailment and basically curse immune.

What has changed since the last update.

- Got both annoints on gloves an amulet
- Dropped an insane +1 totem shaper shield from my first shaper guardian I did. It was missing two prefixes. I blocked a bad mod via crafting bench and Foulborn Exalted orbed T3 life. Then I crafted the last mod.
- Palsteron gave me the idea to try the new Kikazaru rings. They are amazing for mana stacking and they give us 120% reduced curse effect!
- Bought a double corrupted Piscator with good stats for 40c
- Bought a corrupted Wilma with duration gem corruption for my Arcane Cloak setup
- Have my monastery tree set to print wands. Sold a good fracture for 5d.
- Slotted in Clarity (1) - Arrogance (21) and bought a double Clarity Watchers Eye for 2d for more damage to mana. I have 40% mana recoup right now. The 10% mana on skill use is insane now too since I have nearly 8k mana. So i nearly get 800 mana if it procs.
- Bought really nice boots for chaos resistance for 40c
- Bought a nice Stygian Vise for 1d for another jewel slot. Bought a cold damage abyss jewel to enable Glacial Cage and the cold mastery
- Found a 20% Healthy Mind...WOW!!!
- Bought better cobalt jewels
- slotted in "The Sorrow of the Divine" flask. It constantly regenerated energy shield and on press of the instant life flask fills energy shield too.
- Bought an insane chest for my build for 10c. Bought the 6 socket omen for 11c and 6 socketed it. Bought the beast for max-linking any item for 144c. 6 linked the chest.

Looks great! Did you try new shield Cowards Wail?
