The Ultimate Archmage Blight map no towers Demo + in depth Guide after example ( Build perfected)

This is the Ultimate Archmage, the perfect balance of damage(insane), and defense(also insane).

8289 ES/HP
8693 Mana

Even ungeared i first try killed Sirus (after not doing the fight for months -wasnt even a recognizable fight)
2 minute flat full Elder fight deathless(also pre- min max)

Best part ? You can make this build an absolute boss stomping map smashing build with very low investment(my early videos prove this). Then if you like it you can min max it like i have! Super fun!

Skip to 10:54 starts guide

going to give links etc below, but if you want to you can just go to my account(i leave it open so you can view it - its finished at this point, i will move on to next set of content - you might want to go for even crazier stuff - but if i do that i cant create more content haha- currency is a limiting factor and i have to earn that lol)

Account = BigPowner1

Jewels are first(look to account to see placements)

Fevered minds 5-7 (depending on level - 6-7 is end build goal)

healthy mind * 1

Large cluster #1
Note having these exact things for these clusters is a min max goal, not a requirement! (really not needed- but they will add a ton to the build :) )
Prefixes
1: Corrosive Element
2: Storm Drinker
suffixes
1: 2 jewel sockets (this is required - you need it or you wont be able to socket all the fevered minds)
2: Widespread Destruction - this is super luxory spot definitely not required but it is very nice(but realistically i had to buy jewel EX slam to get this)

Large Cluster #2
Prefixes
1: OverShock - pretty important (if you want to go for max boss killing - damage)
2:Scintillating Idea - pretty important massive mana and pen(if you really want max DPS and defense)
Suffix
1: 2 Jewel sockets(again required - if you cant afford the prefixes and other suffixs with this, the sockets are really really important!)
2: Widespread Destruction (yeah on either one its best in slot if you already have + mana per slot is best) - not required


GEAR
There is a lot of leniency in this, goals are pretty simple outside of a few crucial pieces.

Crucial
Cloak of Defiance - absolute must.
yeah thats it.

Suggested Bases

Helm

Hubris Circlet - best base ES
Best stats
Prefix
Mana
Big flat ES combined with % ES or dual mod % ES + Stun and block recovery
Note: if you have currency and you want to go for something crazy % mana is really good(crusader), #-# lightning damage(hunter or shaper)

Suffixes
Intelligence
Resistances(that you need)
Stun and block recovery(very nice to have)
Note: for expensive influence mods % Intelligence(Hunter- 10% increase on my build is stronger than t1 intelligence absolutely top slot for min max build- if you can get it with all the other stuff you need haha), Reduced lightning resistance(Crusader), Increased effect of fortify(Crusader -t1 is 5% more reduced damage taken), Spell damage block(crusader), % chance to shock + chance to shock (redeemer - hardest base for crafting adds nearly all bad mods to pool)

Shield

Titanium Spirit Shield - best base ES
Prefixes
Big flat ES + Big % ES
Mana(get this everywhere haha!)
Big HP - Not ideal but still a really big roll here works also :)

Suffixes
Elemental resistance (that you need)
Intelligence(pretty much anywhere you can also = mana and % ES)
Influence base go Crusader- basically everything is good haha(if you want to spend the extra - influence slam)

Gloves

Fingerless Silk gloves - Implicit 16% spell damage

Prefixes
Mana
ES + % ES or + dual mod SBR and ES%
Life - can just got Mana + flat ES + HP(good slot to do this and its pretty cheap - easy to find pretty good items like this on the cheap :p)

Suffixes
Resistances(that you need)
SBR
Influences Global crit chance (crusader), Evade attacks (redeemer).... honestly im not stoked about any influence on this slot for this build.

Boots

Two-Toned Boots - 12% resistances on 2 resistances really helps
Sorcerer boots - best base ES

Prefixes
If two toned Mana, HP + movement speed(this is best combination talking 79 HP vs 49 ES)
Sorcerer boots
If you for ES its flat ES + % es + movement speed
Still better HP Mana (the bigger base es is still just more ES, doesnt change that mana + HP is best selection in this slot- why i went for 24% resistances from two tones over slightly more base ES - just best stat slotting in my opinion)
Ideally i really like the crafted 20% movement with Onslaught here!

Suffix
Resistances (that you need)
Intelligence - ideal
Other stats you need - strength dex - gotta pick up some somewhere, doesnt matter where :)

Jewelry

Prefix
Get assassin's Mark ring - lvl 12 ideal.

Suffix
Res you need
Intelligence
other stats you need
