was a bit disappointed in last season, i wonder is this season getting better?

I got bored with my glass cannon His Scattering Calamity so thinking of making a 0 button builds https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/jk2l-2865/runesofaldur/character/__Raven_Queen__

Got into interlude and so far having this stupid OP combo atm

This is a combination of Verisium Manifestations with Repulsions

Current synergy atm:

• Repulsions triggers hit effect
• Repulsions generate Living Lightning
• Verisium Manifestations trigger by Repulsions hits effect
• Verisium infernal legions, and minion instability suicide bombing combo
• Repulsions generate more Verisium Manifestations

Additional Techs (optional depends on your gear and setup):

• my scepter got the rune to reduce 40% of my mana regen but also apply mana regen into runic ward.
• now my mana regen is very low, so i am using Lavianga's Spirits to helps my recovery
• some minion maximum life nodes to increase the minion instability damage as it is base on max hp

But anything trigger repulsions with will works, so my other minions basically there to act as both triggers and Muster damage.

Then I also have Unholy Might to add extra chaos damage. Unearth and Contagions also add more minions to the mix. If i am not mistaken majority of my damages is from repulsions. so the more minions hitting my target the betters

I think once i get my 3rd ascendency Rupture the Soul my explosion loops may go even faster. I am planning to get Raven Flock with it for more close distance AOE (because of repulsion curse radius, I think i want to stay close to my target as much as possible) but my level is too low to equip it so will see how it go

T15 map

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/jk2l-2865/runesofaldur/character/____Pew__Pew__Pew____

Basically with leech nerfed, this is my attempt to rebuild this build without leech. the DPS is decent and you can clear T15 without issues. but it is more on mana management that need to becareful not over spam the cast and end up dead. also always look out the siphon mana modifier enemy.

My gear the most expensive is the instill which cost me near 15div to buy the ingredients. beside that all my gear atm is about 1div per piece max but most of them is like few ex. so decently cheap build (it can get expensive if you get T1 tier mana mod on gear. my gear atm mostly T2 and T3)

i tried to mix CoC on it before but got two issues, 1) my CoC gem for no idea why it keep bricking. i bricked 4 gems over 2 days so i give up on that gem (it is known bug report since 0.1 and still no idea why it is it fixed). 2) the high crit chance actually trigger mana drain A LOT which sometime it felt unmanageable

For DPS I use both His Scattering Calamity (HSC) and Ember Fusillade (EF) together, as even my current HSC hover time is about 0.1 second it still take near half second for all projectiles shoot out. so i mix casting EF in between to fill up the small downtime. i just bind both on left and right mouse button and spam left and right click

In mapping the more enemy the stronger this build because my HSC can chain a lot, and giving me corpse for Feast of Flesh which instantly refill all my mana

In bossing you will need to pace out the attack a bit but i can still kill most boss under 10sec. Currently at lvl87 so still got a bit small room of improvement in term of passive tree but the tree pretty much completed

Key build synergy:

Crit

• Forced Outcome - 100% crit
• Mana Remnant spawn from Crit
• Arcane Surge trigger by Crit

Mana

• Eldtrich Battery convert ES into mana
• Archmage scale damage from mana
• The Unborn Leech Staff also got modifier for damage increase per 100 mana
• Arcane Intensity increase damage per 100 mana

Archon

• Archmage make everything cost extra mana which allow me trigger Arcane when used 100% mana
• Dominion remove recovery period which give me near 100% up time. the uptime depends on how fast you spam attack to use mana as soon as it is down

Unseen Path

• Archon critical buff
• extra Critical damage and some lightning damage

Entwined Realities

• Quite a few nodes can be reached without traveling nodes which is a big plus
