↖The Core of the Build

The Arc Mage node in the passive tree is the cornerstone of this build. This node grants additional damage equal to 12% of mana cost to Arc and Crackling Lance spells, which can help push your damage to extreme levels. However, the node also increases the mana cost of these spells, making it difficult to sustain the high mana cost.

To work around this, you'll need to invest in mana regeneration and mana efficiency. The Cloak of Defiance has a great note that grants 1% mana regeneration per second. This is extremely helpful since mana leech for spells has been completely removed. You can also craft a belt with mana regeneration, use a Watcher's Eye with a mana regeneration mod, and invest in the hierophant node which grants increased maximum mana and 8% damage taken from mana before life.

↖Stacking Modifiers

In addition to mana regeneration, you'll want to stack mana cost and cast speed modifiers to increase your damage. You can also use Essence Spent to gain more mana cost and crits to increase your chance to proc your Arcane Overload. Lastly, invest in physical and lightning damage reduction as this build is very squishy.

↖Gearing Up

For gear, use a Crown of the Inward Eye to gain maximum life, mana, and energy shield. You can also use a Lightning Coil or Cloak of Defiance, depending on your preference. Gloves and boots with Spell Suppression, rings with Elemental Weakness and Conductivity, and a belt with Mana Recovery Rate are also recommended. Lastly, use flasks with increased Charges Gained, Reduced Charges Used, Increased Flask Effect, and Flask Duration.

↖Empowering Your Wrath Aura

Use a Shaper's Orb to empower your Wrath aura, as this will increase the damage of your Arc spell. You can also use a Divergent Eternal Blessing to activate your Auras without spending mana, but this limits you to only using Wrath Auras.

Conclusion

The Arc Mage mono-stacking build is an excellent choice for a powerful and tanky damage dealer. With the right gear and passive tree investment, you can push your damage to extreme levels and dominate your opponents. Remember to invest in mana regeneration and mana efficiency to sustain your high mana costs, stack modifiers for increased damage, and gear up appropriately to maximize your survivability.
