ot now I'm reading it again, there is actually a way to keep increasing your stacks, even if it is very hard.
If you manage to enter Archon with the stacks of the Swami, then you start with a considerable bonus to IAS and can manage to amass stacks faster (at least at the start) so to end Archon with more stacks than you started with. Rinse and repeat.
Now I think this is what North meant.
Probably correct.
For reference, the highest stacks I have seen is ~180( i think 184 was the exact number, pre belt nerf) inside a GRift, and that was on around my 4th Archon usage of the run after entering with a buff of around 150ish IIRC.. with channeling.
Density is way to big of a variable to even begin to assume that the buff will keep going higher with subsequent Archon uses through the whole rift, and I think 300 is basically out the question, honestly. Happy to be proven wrong, of course.
Here's a video(Pretty sure this was pre belt nerf, as well) where he hits 194(~5:50 in) with channeling in a 59 GRift.
you CAN'T stack up buffs indefinitely with that item. When the Archon expires, the stacks are turned into a timed buff that expires even if you transform again into Archon ad gain other stacks.
The new stacks for the archon count as a different buff.
Or at least this happened a few weeks ago on PTR.
Still works exactly this way as of 2 minutes ago. You can maintain the Archon buff just fine, but it does not stack indefinitely.. that would be stupid.
