[Path of Exile 2] Free Mana Tempest: Divinity Adonia's Ego Stormweaver [0.5.5]

Overview

This Stormweaver is built around Adonia’s Ego and its Pinnacle of Power buff, which consumes Power charges for a large damage boost and lets every hit inflict elemental ailments. The twist is the skill cost: a unique amulet converts energy shield into Divinity, a resource that regenerates at a fixed 25% per second and absorbs damage before life. That makes Mana Tempest — normally a self-draining skill — effectively free to maintain.

Mana Tempest matters because, with the amulet equipped, its hits split to three nearby enemies. That replaces Fork or Chain supports on Ember Fusillade, the main clearing spell, while Comet (fed by fire infusions) handles heavier targets. Defence comes from Svalinn: blocking charges a Cast on Block Ice Nova that freezes whatever is attacking you.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Divinity cost resource makes skill costs and mana drain almost irrelevant
• Mana Tempest splitting gives Ember Fusillade huge coverage without link supports
• Svalinn + Ice Nova counter-freeze is a strong layer beyond raw block chance
• Visually satisfying and fun to play, per the creator

Cons

• Two Adonia’s Ego wands plus a weapon-swap routine are required to dodge the resistance penalty
• Very technical: Pinnacle of Power must be refreshed on a timer, and resistances briefly drop near 0% when you do
• Struggles in cramped layouts and against enemies that spawn in waves
• Tanky pinnacle bosses are uncertain — Divinity dips during long fights

Key Skills

• Ember Fusillade — main clear spell, split by Mana Tempest
• Mana Tempest — split-projectile zone, kept up constantly
• Comet — consumes fire infusions for boss damage
• Firestorm / Frost Bomb — generate infusions and Power charges on the swap set
• Cast on Block (Ice Nova) — Svalinn’s defensive freeze

Gear & Anointments

• Two Adonia’s Ego wands — main set with +spell levels (Legacy of Altur socketed for more), swap set with +1 maximum Power charges
• The unique amulet that converts energy shield into Divinity
• Svalinn shield; a focus is suggested instead while gear is weak
• Maligaro’s gloves for the 250% critical damage bonus
• Helmet for spirit; ring choice avoids chill

Endgame Notes

Rotation: on the swap set, cast Firestorm to burn infusions into Power charges, swap back, trigger Pinnacle of Power when no enemies are around, then cast Ember Fusillade followed by Mana Tempest. The creator runs T15 maps and Simulacrum with it.
