[3.16] [Budget] HoT Autobomber up to 2Mil DPS
This build was inspired by Memoria's HoT Autobomber, and converted to 3.16 and made casual viable by me. PoB: https://pastebin.com/gNCwdC5S The PoB contains 3 flavors of the build: - Budget - with no Cluster Jewels - Normal - with Cluster Jewels - "Tanky" - with Cluster Jewels but more focused on survival + Step by Step leveling trees Depending on the flavor the build will cost in between ~1-2 Ex --- Pros & Cons --- + Good clear speed + Explosions + Fun! + Cheap for an autobomber - Not SSF/HC viable - Not viable for difficult Bosses - Can't play all map mods e.g. Elemental reflect
--- Recommend Preparations ---
1. Leveling Uniques (see leveling gear set in PoB for suggestions)
2. First Snow Unique Jewel (grab from the Act 5 Death to Purity Quest on a higher level char) 3. Conquerer's Efficency Unique Jewel (grab from Act 8 The Wings of Vastiri Quest on a higher level char)

Glorious Vanity (Unique Jewel) - Doryani Variant Extra energy shield and splitting up the self damage to Life and ES, you can run this build without it, but be prepared to go splat quite often.

--- Bandits & Pantheon ---
Help Aliara - We need the crit and resist to be more flexible with gear Major God Arakaali - Just because DoTs can really destroy this build especially while still not fully geared / passives taken Minor God Ralakesh - Bleed, see above Feel free to switch to Solaris/Lunaris as a major god and Yugul if you struggle with reflect (why would you even run a reflect map on this build....)
--- Charges ---
Power Charges - Main crit & damage scaler for HoT, gets generated by Power Charge on Critical Support Gem Frenzy Charges - Additional damage gets generated by Vaal/Cold Snap Endurance Charges - If you use the "Tanky" build version these get generated by The Red Nightmare Unique Jewel

--- Leveling ---
Level 1-24
Grab some leveling Uniques and a First Snow Jewel to make leveling easier. Grab a Herald of Thunder as soon as you can and keep leveling it in a off-hand slot. Gems: Main 4 - Link Freezing Pulse + Added Lightning Damage + Added Cold Damage + Arcane Surge Support 3 Sockets Vitality - Discipline - Clarity Level 25-75 Transition into a Spellslinger Arc / Ball Lightning Build for faster clears.

You can either Trigger the Spellslinger with Power Siphon or Frenzy, thou Frenzy is recommended. Switch out the First Snow Jewel for a Conquerer's Efficency to deal with the reservation cost.

Hey, this is a bomb ass build.
Still getting used to the playstyle, I use the build a little differently, but can easily clear corrupt 8 modded t14's and white t16's easily. I utilize the damage we take from the rings for another CWDT setup for maximum dps, slots are tight, but its fun AF. Thank you for putting this together!
