my gear so far

Spoiler

Might wana buy a 20% quality lvl 20 FB. I got it for like 6 chaos and there were plenty at that price. Other gems were like 20C+ each so I was like nah I'll lvl those as time goes on myself. It helps a lot, my tooltip damage skyrocketed from 2.5k to 4.1k

Running this build aswell right now and it's fun af =) just curious, should I run one lightning golen and one flame? or doubble up with flame/lightning?

1 of each golem is what you want to use.
The golems are always used for their passive bonuses. Lightning gives you extra casting speed, and fire golem extra damage.

Having two Flame Golems doesn't give double bonus. So you should run one of each.

EDIT: Just saw OP's answer in original post. So it is basically used to help with end-game bosses if I understand right.

What is so special about putting 3 points into the Alchemist nodes?

If it actually increased Zealot Oath I would better understand, but is it really worth using 3 points for some extra mana regen over 18% ES, elemental damage, or ghost reaver?

the alchemist node also increase the duration of the flasks,and since we aren't freeze imune, a inc duration on a anti freeze flask is verry handy,and inc duration on other flasks is so good,and the flasks are better,i love those nodes a lot

Question: What should I use as a ring if I have capped resistances and enough str already(aside from the -7 mana ofc)? I'm already at 12k es and I'm looking for a ring that I can use max energy shield crafting mod on.

I was thinking diamond ring with fire damage, -7 mana and either +es or +int. Would that be a good idea?

Hello,
I'm not new to PoE but I've a noob question about flameblast.. I started this build and now I'm lvl 87 with almost the same items as the OP.

Most of the time (90%) I can OS bosses around T10-12, but sometimes (10%) I need like 5-6 hits to kill the very same bosses. I just tried The Minotaur, took like 25 hits (with 10 stacks) to remove half his life..

Maybe I'm just missing something about the timing (when to release ? is there a specific time ? due to ascendancy for example) ? Or is it because of the burning damage?

Thanks :)

Did you have Elemental Overload and Elemental Equilibrium active from Orb of Storms? Did you shock with Vaal Lightning Trap or via Shaper of Desolation ascendancy? Was Pendulum of Destruction ascendancy active?

Elemental Overload and Elemental Equilibrium were active with OoS yes.
I didn't use Vaal Lightning Trap (but I'm using lightning warp to move around and deal light dmg, so it should also proc EE).
Shaper of Desolation was active yes but I don't have the Pendulum of Destruction yet.

I thought it was related to inflicting burning/elemental status or not. But I've 74% chance to inflict burning without the Shaper of Desolation.. so with 20 hits some of those hits should inflict way more dmg than the rest but it wasn't the case against Minotaur..

As said, sometimes I just one shot a boss with a 10 stack, sometimes the same boss takes 5-6 hits.. So it might also be timing.. Also I think if the boss has minions, it helps a lot since he walks in the elemental prolif they create when they die.. Or maybe I am just retarded :D
