So I took notice of this build later on in the Breach season, too late to really want to bother making it. I was excited when I found out that Legacy would allow me to run it this season.
I just have to say that I have had more success so far with this build in leveling than any other one that I have played. It may be that I am just better at the game than I was when I started two leagues ago, or it may just be that the build itself just doesn't have the weaknesses that I am used to. I'm level 70 and going strong already have my 5L Carcass and 6 socket Axe (got lucky and rolled 6 on it with 5 Jews) and the damage increase is just insanity. My resists are almost maxed for merciless and at this point I am just running maps when I have time to play and working on getting my levels for the added defensive nodes.
I am very pleased with the way this has turned out and am having a lot of fun with this league. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. Remember to have a Ruby flask once you get Xoph's Blood. :)
Would it make sense to go through the far left side of templar and grab Avatar of Fire if you don't have Xoph's blood instead of Amplify/Elementalist with the recent aoe nerfs? Then spec out when you get Xophs? Thoughts?
Not worth the effort. You will do just fine with only the axe. Someone I know who is currently playing this build cleared Uber lab with full keys using just the axe. :)
I feel silly for asking, but wiki doesn't show what the axe drops from so its just luck or bought from someone else? If so what rolls should i keep an eye out for? And doesn't need to be 6L just 6 sockets right?
Like what @Regards said, it is a global drop. I would aim for 400+ pDPS with at least 10% IAS on the axe. And you just need 6 sockets. You don't need any links on it.
I have a question and some thoughts on carcass jack synergy... Since Slayer already has some form of aoe increase plus the 20% from carcass, would it not gimp point blank linked to the molten burst? that would result in lower overall molten burst damage since the projectiles travel further even with conc. effect won't it? Just asking about the mechanics and the possible lack of synergy.
i didn't see the passives going that far in the new link. May need fixing.
You can find the link under the section Gem Setup -> Ngamahu's Flame. I will fix the tree in leveling section as it is reflecting the pure damage version of the build.

Great! Thanks for the input and work you're putting into this build. It's been a blast so far :).

The molten balls don't travel far out with Concentrated gem and the extra AOE with Increased Area of Effect is really good for regular mapping.

Thats the one i clicked on, only goes to point blank on that side.
