Kry's 2H Burn Prolif Molten Strike Build using 4L HoA

*****************************************************************************************************
This is a 2h burn concept using HoA I did for the community following my MS thread in the marauder section. I will not be checking this thread as often and if you would like a faster response to questions, build changes/suggested ideas, etc please post them on The Community MS thread or PM me directly. Enjoy the burn!

This is a 2h burn prolif build I designed using Herald of Ash (HoA) and there is only 1 item requirement, Pyre. Pyre only cost 1 chaos so its you can pretty much afford that within the first 30 min. of the game. Pyre is used to convert Hatred to fire damage giving us 100% boosted damage and scaling it with our fire nodes. 2h weapons are used to generate larger overkill and harder prolif burns. A good overkill will net the same result as a burning discharge build. The build also will run 4 60% auras. If you plan on running 4 60% auras you will want Alphas Howl. If you run 3 60% and PoF, you can get away with a quality Red. Mana. Quality reduced mana is something you can simply build into.

Enjoy the burn!!!!!

This build will eventually run 4 x 60% aruas.

HoA + Ele prolif + inc. burn damage + Red. Mana
Grace
Hatred (buffed to 100% of its potential with Pyre)
Anger (least powerful of them all)

If you plan on running 4 60% auras you will want Alphas Howl. If you run 3 60% and PoF, you can get away with a quality Red. Mana.

6-link in priority
1)Molten Strike
2)WED
3)Life Leech (once we get +% fire leech from gear we will swap to conc. effect at the 6th priority position).
4)Blood Magic
5)Multi
6)Fire Pen

should be running 4L once you start using Geoffri's. Easy to make it 4L or just buy one already linked.

Now if you want to run a 1 hit wonder style (burn damage is even crazier) you can drop multi and add in added fire as your 6th priority gem. Sustain will be lower in return.

Norm: Oak
Cruel: Oak or Kraityn
Merc: passive

Cheap and effective Weapon Progression:
Geoffri's Baptism till 58 then get a Kaom's Primacy. Geoffri's should only cost 1c and Kaom's is only about 4 or 5c. Kaom's will last through starting maps.

With the auras you can swap anger for extra resistances or determination for increased armour depending on your link availability and what map you will be facing.


Note: You do not need to take AoF or fire nodes. You can easily take phys weapons if you choose so for your preference. The burn mechanic will still apply to your AoE smashing.




Pyre goes up to 40% burn damage.

***This build will easily get into maps but I cannot say if it is an Aztiri killer, probably not. It does not pack the same defenses as the main build***

Posted this from my phone and there is a few errors in the tree. I'll fix that tonight.

You can also run less burn damage and more MS damage by dropping the fire nodes and simply taking 2h nodes like the wrecking ball cluster
