Question guys. My wand has "Gain 20% of damage as extra Fire Damage".

1. Does this extra fire damage can ignite?
2. Does it also gain benefit from increase fire damage in passive?

Thanks before

If you're using the unique gloves, all of that won't really do anything and you should avoid it on any gear pieces.

If not, honestly not sure.

Im using blueflame bracer. Should i avoid just the fire damage or any extra elemental damage?

@highertime

what are your thoughts regarding this build?

I feel like our build is only covering front direction, leaving us quite expose to other angles. time cost to rotate and shoot is quite dangerous since we are squishy

Gosh a target dummy would be amazing. Much better than seeing if I can bully the Act 3 Cruel boss slightly faster lol

At the moment I honestly rarely remember to cast firewall, but I'm dramatically out DPSing the content I'm doing.

@highertimes:
I notice you've spent 4 passive points on what is half dead stats to get 4% more Mana, is it worth that much of a skill investment? Or is there also just nothing better to spent them on nearby as well?

Also let us know if you've had more thoughts about Anointing. There's SO many good ones, but most need such a big investment...

It's hard to say how fast you "should" be killing stuff because that can fluctuate wildly depending on how each cast actually shotguns when it hits a mob. A dense pack of monsters will go down quick, a lone white enemy will take several shots without an ice wall.

Personally I spec'd out of Climate Change, because nobody is entirely sure if we're getting any benefit out of the damage from that node, I'm not sure what you should get instead. The other freeze buildup cluster would cost an extra skill point to get. Either way, it shouldn't be making that big of a difference.

At the moment I'd say the big issue is simply your defences, specifically, you need more Mana. More Mana means more damage from Archmage, but more importantly, more Mana Regen and Mana itself so you can spec into MoM. Without that, your effective HP is quite low.

There's a variant of the build that uses increased AoE's instead of going all in on Projectile chance, I swapped over to try that out when Konried was trying it out as a possibility and personally I found it a lot more satisfying than the original version. There's no hard number math going on, so I can't say for sure it's better, but it "felt" better.

Requires zero gear changes, just tree changes, so you might want to check it out and see how you go with that. You should clear better since shotgunning is easier, and in theory boss damage could also be higher so rares and uniques should go down quick.



tl;dr: You're lacking mana (Specifically on your rings, that's where the big and pretty easy mana rolls are) and/or higher energy shield. By roughly the point you were at I'd geared for probably too much ES and too little Mana, so I was way less damage than you but had triple your Energy Shield.


Edit:

As for helping outside of the forums, I have hit the limit of the advice I can give with my own knowledge anyway T_T So Hopefully this advice helps out

I don't know if this is an answer for me because I don't see the quote, but I'm giving up on this build. This is super weak that at lvl 77 I can't even do T6 on chill at this stage. Having mostly finished the build. In POE1 I never had this problem, entering the endgame and doing maps below T10 I was like a fish in water, I decided to change the build. Not to mention that everyone here replies to everyone but not me, ofc thanks for time and help from you. ;)

I'm unable to watch the video at the moment so I'm sort of puzzling out the changes based on your maxroll updates... I'm curious what all the crit is for? Fireball has the no-crit gem, and even without that it has absolute trash tier crit chance as it is.

The cast on shock comet looks pretty cool, is cast on freeze still used for clearing and it's swap over to CoS for bosses?

And is it worth even considering if you haven't got the double shock ascendancy yet?

I'm only on T10 maps, which are melting (Literally last boss I did was dead before it got to attack) so I don't feel the need to change anything up so far, but I'd like to know why stuff is being done.
