@OP

How far can you get on this build with a 4link and the effigon? Can i comfortably clear storyline with 4 link oro's, and get thru atleast most white tier maps comfortably?

Hey rozakk!

The leveling path outlined in the guide works well on a budget, 4 link story play through with no uniques. The wildfire jewels make a significant difference, you will do over 2x damage with both of them active, so keep them in mind if your damage starts to feel too low. They're always extremely cheap as they are a quest reward.

You could most likely get very far into maps on a budget. White and yellow maps should be comfortable, can't give a definitive statement on red maps but they should be possible with thoughtful play. Make sure you use "Enfeeble" curse and not "Flammability" if you are going with budget version.

Won't be able to use Oro's during the storyline though since it has a requirement of level 67. If you need a cheap 5 link just buy a white armor/evasion chest and use a "screaming" or "wailing" essence of greed on it, even league start these are very very cheap.

Hello, I am running this build in delve. One question for you: why not avatar of fire?

All the damage we do is already fire damage, there would be nothing to convert with avatar of fire.

Hi, like your build, wanna ask if i can play it only with molten strike (not a big fan of flicker strike) and switch belly for kaom's heart and use some good gripped gloves cuz rip incursion mods. Do you think damage gonna be good for delve and uber elder?

I noticed that the build pick up Curse Duration.
Why not grab the double 5% Curse effect instead?
Or is it because its 2 points vs 1 point even tho curse duration is useless?

Or does Curse effect not work with enfeeble aura?

Builds super fun thank you, shaper down

Hey demi!

You're much better off playing a oni-goroshi molten strike build if you're gonna go for pure molten strike. There are quite a few amazing guides on this forum for that specific build.

Here is my own POB for a build specialized around molten strike if you are interested, I've wanted to play it but never got around to it:

That being said if you're gonna go with the flicker build but without the flicker, molten strike damage is already overkill for anything in the game.

It's just to save points. Curse duration is useless, and curse effectiveness works with and is actually very good with enfeeble. Keep in mind curses only have 20-40% effectiveness vs bosses, so while increased curse effectiveness is insane for normal/magic/rare monsters, it is a pretty poor use of passives when fighting bosses.

ty!

thanks for your answer and oni-goroshi tree, but i'm thinking to try the oro's version with full molten strike and kaom's heart, also what do you suggest for the gloves? a good pair of gripped gloves or something else?

Yeah gripped gloves are optimal for molten strike now, the incursion gloves won't be back until next league.

Wonder how well the reworked templar area works for this build, been trying to use it so far.
