Hi sivluu, im having trouble with crematorium and Village ruin map boss. Since i cant one shot them or sometime because i cant Ignite on first hit and they just 2 shot me.

Any tips? or all i need is work on my dps?

Have you tried swapping inc aoe and ele prolif with chance to ignite and concentrated effect?
While village ruin bosses might indeed pose a bit of a problem, Crematorium on the other hand, should be pretty easy. If you can't kill her fast enough, just get a RotP to swap with your second weapon. That should put you at about 87-88% fire resist, without flask.

As for village ruin bosses, it's important to not kill the dog first (he's much easier to kill enraged than the chicken). This is how I usually try to approach them:
1. Get the dog out of the boss room
2. Get him down to below 50% life by spamming 1-3 stack flameblasts
3. Go kill the chicken
4. Finish the dog (and better not get hit)

If you happen to accidentally kill the doge first and you're playing hardcore or do not wanna risk losing 10% xp - just give up the fight, it's not worth to risk it fighting the enraged chicken. He hits hard while also being difficult to manually dodge.

Is it worth it to go warriors blood, for enough regen, and run bloodrage? Would have to drop juggernaut and mental rapidity.

Not really, it would be better to just use the blood dance or run poacher's mark as your 2nd curse, if you're really desperate for frenzy charges :P

Is the Elreon jewelry mandatory to play?
That's kinda keeping me from playing this build.

How do i get -8 elreon rings + amulet fast in new league??

Rise of the Phoenix (optional) - needed only when partying with a support

Why is Rise of the Phoenix better than dual wielding when with a support? Are there any other situations where you would use it?

Great Guide :). What do you think of doryanis catalyst compared to wands/scpetres? Is the double dipping not worth losing around 12%castspeed? Cheers.

Mandatory? No, highly recommended? Hell yes. You could go BM version but then you're losing on flammability/you have to self cast it. Or you can drop 1 aura and use a mana flask, but you might find that a bit dull and overall inefficient.

Check regularly poe.trade, ask friends, guild, trade chat.

To not die to reflect. A good support would probably curse mobs with a 40-50% buffed EW, Flammability, and proc EE as well. Other situations? Atziri, reflect maps (heh), Crematorium Megaera, Core Malachai.

It's a good weapon if you don't mind giving up some cast speed. And they usually cost more than similiar rare scepters.

Hey,

Just take off 1 aura and use mana flask...

Fixed. You gain some more ehp with this version but I can't honestly tell you how good it is. I have no idea.

His shop resets after starting a daily, and after he levels up. Use mana flask or go BM until your flameblast costs less than 5 mana.
