Spoiler
Ok, so why avatar of fire and cold to fire instead of the traditional way? Because, by using avatar of fire and cold to fire your penetration gem is much stronger, you damage is also globally increased when you got your specific fire nodes which means you increase the damage from heralds too, and of course it gives you the option to grab both fire and cold damage points or gear mods. Why use The Three Dragons? All of your damage is converted to fire, your FP does fire and it shocks now, giving you a multiplicative increase of 50% in dps. How do i get 250k? My tooltip as you can see is 24k: http://i.imgur.com/uc4AgyC.jpg (its 25k now) But this tooltip is PER freezing pulse projectile, they can shotgun, which means when you shotgun you are doing 5 times the damage with GMP, this 24k turns into 120k. This 120k, penetrates 40% of fire resistances because of the passives and the fire penetration gem, this means you atomatically do 168k dps. Now this is the best part, because you shock with the three dragons now, you get an extra 50% more damage, which means you do ~250k shotgun against shocked enemies, almost everything is shocked when you use this, i can even shock level 78 dominus. The shock is also great for parties, everyones damage is increased by 50% more from shock which makes the whole clear speed in parties a lot faster And voila, youre doing the same or even more dps than low life shav builds with a cheap ass character in comparison
Gem Links
4l: Freezing Pulse-Lifeleech-Cold to Fire-GMP 5l: Freezing Pulse-Lifeleech-Cold to Fire-GMP-fire pen 6l: Freezing Pulse-Lifeleech-Cold to Fire-GMP-fire pen-faster casting Swap crit damage for spell echo if you dont have a pledge of hands CWDT-Endu cry-IC-assins mark or increased duration. Herald of Ice-Purity of Fire-Clarity-reduced mana herald of thunder-curse on hit-assassins mark-reduced mana
Gearing
You want to use a three dragons for the 50% more damage increase, you will eventually go for a 5l/6l pledge of hands Any chest will do, you can go for a cloak of defiance if u have enough mana/regen, even a light coil good if u can get enough light resist, i use a kaoms cause i like it, but you get better damage reduction with light coil or cloak. Life without a chest, helmet or gloves is 4.2k which is enough, if you opt for life gloves youll and light coil you can get to 4.5k easily. You can also chose to go with a tanky witch, you can stack mana regen on gear, and in passives to run a high level AA, with a cloak of defiance, you will be extremely tanky, and youll getextra links for more utlity like lightning warp, you will have lower dps by doing this but you will be tankier. Rings and amulets should have life and resists in the first place, then mana regen, cast speed, critical multiplier and critical strike chance. Boots just need ES, life, resists and movement speed if you can. Gloves dont have to be maligaros, im only using them cause i have a pair, you can use really any pair of gloves here, best in slot would obviously be atziris acuity. Doyanis inviation is pretty nice but a simple life + resists belt will also do fine

use Faster Casting as a FP link, not Critical damage like i have on my staff, ive noticed that you get more dps with faster casting I swap to crit dmg to PCOC on bosses that dont have adds so i can get power charges unfortunately because i use kaoms heart i have no room for lightning warp, which is a pain in my assholes

This looks really cool, Vic. I wanted to ask though, how is the clear speed with FP? I've played with friends using FP, and even though the range is huge, the damage per hit seems really low. I mean so low that I was easily clearing just as fast with my cyclone.
I've also seen some atziri vids, and even though they have 100k+ GMP dps, the actual boss kill speed looks realy slow. Of course, I like the mechanics of freeze pulse, so this might actually get me to make a caster build. Really interested to know your thoughts. Thanks! For try, for see, and for know.

" Hey, the clear speed is acutally pretty nice, its better than my cycloners for sure, the only thing that plays into the clear speed is your luck basically, this does nice damage even without crits, so it clears mch faster than builds who only base everything on crit multiplier, because you dont always crit but its the critical that do the massive work, 1 crit per pack in a 77 is enough to blow them all to bits, if youre unlucky and you dont crit it will take about 2-3 casts. As atziri goes this will do a lot better than most other FP builds, you dont shock her main phase, but you do have 40% fire penetration, thats why spell builds have problems because those mobs have resists, with a curse and penetration the resists are gone and youre doing youre full dps or even more.

Alright, thanks mate.
How would you suggest levelling? Or is facebreaker fine till lvl 50/60? What would you use in weapon slot if your main links were in a belly of the beast(can't afford 6l PoH)? What about using Herald of Thunder + curse on hit assassin's mark? It's just that I know shit about casters, otherwise I wouldn't be asking so many questions :D Thanks again! For try, for see, and for know.

" Anything works for leveling, it doesnt matter If you dont have a pledge and you have your links in a chest i suggest a high spell damage with crit staff, or a shield + wand with good damage rolls. the herald of thunder + curse on hit is not worth it because by the time herald of thunder curses you already kill the mobs, its more effective to just use PCOC, it just sems like a waste of time to curse or to cast other skills for powercharges when you can simply mow everything down with 1 button.

Huh, that's nice to know. Glad to help :D

" This is completely incorrect. Elemental and spell damage are only applied once before conversion. Furthermore, the fire dmg applied after conversion is still counted as an increase and stacks with your elemental, cold and spell dmg. So if you had a 100 dmg initial hit, and then 50% inc cold dmg, 50% inc ele dmg and 50% inc fire dmg, with 100% conversion, the final damage for the hit would be 250 (100*((150/100)+1)). With 50% conversion, it would be (50cold*((100/100)+1)+50fire*((150/100)+1)), resulting in 225 damage hit. The only advantage you gain from 100% conversion is that you are able to pick both cold and fire dmg nodes, which might lead to a better tree pathing efficiency, and use some fire dmg gear. |

" i got my information from here: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Damage_conversion it seemed to be like it double dips, from spell damage and ele damage edit: yep it doesnt, i thought it did because it speifices that the converted damage gets icnreases from cold and fire, instantly assumed since elemental/spell increases both it probably increases twice, not the case but anyway, converting all of your damage to fire, using pen, and three dragons is pretty much the most dps you can pull out of FP with modest gear I carve and sell real animal skulls, check out my work here: https://www.instagram.com/victorseiche/ https://www.facebook.com/victorseicheart/ World first Uber Atziri as 2h and 2h RT build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1058950 Highest level char in Closed Beta, Wytchfindergeneral Last edited by VictorDoom#6290 on Jan 29, 2015, 8:38:44 PM

" Well, their example there is a bit confusing, but I think you can clearly see that the elemental damage modifiers are only applied once there. From the part when the cold to fire conversion steps in: " To highlight the relevant part, you can see all the phys and elemental damage modifiers being added together to create the final increased fire dmg multiplier. |
