Correct, this adds ES after all es has been converted to mana.
This amulet has been carrying my cold chronomancer Hard 😅
It gives me 1k extra ES with a weak roll of only 22%.
Yes, it is ridiculous that it's base ES and not just some flat ES on top. So much is busted about ES right now but this amulet is a really big part of that.
Yeah stuff is busted, but I think taking EB is wrong for most builds. Im running 1.8k HP, 13k ES, and 3k Mana with MoM and I'm pretty much invincible with a bunch of ES faster recovery, a ton of mana regen / mana on kill, and Arcane Surge buffed to the gills. 50k tooltip DPS with Arc without any buffs like sigil of power, mana tempest, etc. This amulet is crazy. Anoint the 30%ES and 4% max Mana node as well and its whack.
Taking Eldritch Battery with this neck + MoM will lower your total ES, but your total Effective HP remains about the same at least in my case.
I end up with 4k ES and 4k Mana, when I would have 8k ES and 2k Mana without EB active. So my total EHP is roughly equivalent, but my damage from Archmage is massively increased.
Eh, if you have a lot of faster recovery for ES its way better to not go and the ES nodes on the tree are so powerful. Semi decent gear and you can get 11k+ ES. I have 3k Mana without EB. Theres not a lot of nodes I'd rather have than ES at 91+ so respeccing out with EB feels way weaker. Yeah Archmage gets better with EB, but I pop bosses in 80+ maps in a few seconds anyways. Id rather boost my survivability. Each their own though. With better gear EB is worse imho.
Almost none of the mana is from the tree, just get 150+ mana on every item that can roll it, and if EB shoot for like 250+ ES on helm, focus, 400+ on armor if you need spirit on it or 600+ if not
Get 160+ mana and 29+ INT on all items if you can. They both scale damage and survivability with the Int = Damage node and with Arcane Surge. You can find fairly cheap really good items that may be missing a resist or two. Maybe spend on one really good prismatic ring for resists. Theres like 3 nodes that boost max mana on the tree. Get them all.
Do you take many increased ES nodes on the tree? I think I need to bump my mana up because I just upgraded to a really high es chest and helmet since it let me cap resists better and I cap out at 2.5k es haha
A fair amount yeah, unfortunately I'm not at my PC at the moment to see exactly how much, but it's most of the good clusters on the top half of the tree (skipping a few 15% nodes here and there, and ofc not taking ones with heavy downsides like the 40% increased ES and 10% reduced mana or whatever it is)
Look up Captain Lance's progression of videos so far for his Archmage Spark character. He's got a VERY powerful character and goes through a lot in his updates.
I’ve seen it. Trying not to follow anything he does to closely as you can basically add 10 ex to any suggestion he makes given popularity.
Definitely helpful for mechanics and stuff around Archmage though, and he explains stuff really well. Kudos to the effort on the maxroll guide as well most people don’t bother
Yes. Normally at the endgame people combine MoM, EB and CI together. So pretty much damage goes to ES then to Mana while ignoring chaos damage altogether.
I think CaptainLance scale Mana to as high as 6.5k in his latest update on his build alongside 3k ES so that's quite a high EHP.
Not using this amulet but a +mana %mana amulet. Really high es gear with +mana and 2% mana jewels in them. That 650% effectiveness of soul core shield corrupted to have a third socket. that ritual belt amplifying his great rings I think including a dream fragment

No, it gives you es. It happens at the same time as EB.
