If you have no other means of regen then yes you would want to throw in ll or lgoh, as with any melee build.

Been messing around with Molten Strike links and I was wondering...

Does this

apply to the projectiles or no? I'm not that experienced when it comes to linking projectile skills

It would work for the projectiles yes but not the initial hit. Give it some testing and let us know your results :) best part of this game is taking an idea and running with it.

Was fun chatting and testing as we leveled up last night. Great job on the write up, this is a very fun build so far.

Good times my friend! Thank you for sharing some of your findings with me.

What do you think of using an abyssus? or a BoR?

I think taking Kraityn (8% attack speed) in Cruel would be better than Oak. Also Melee Physical gem is definitely not worth using. It only increases the damage of the initial hit, it does not affect the molten projectiles damage at all. Fire Penetration would be much stronger and is the same color. Or you could throw LGoH in there as well.

Edit: Also you should add Doryani's Invitation Belt (Fire) to the list of uniques you want!

I would run BoR over Abysuss. BoR is always a nice choice but we would need to run a 5L set up vs the 6L. I would probably drop BM gem and stick with the BM passive. This causes us to lose auras but we do gain faster attacks so this should make up for no hatred.

I have never ran BoR so not 100% sure on this buy from what I have read, the blind in the helm is worthless with unwavering stance so if you wanted to take advantage of that we would need to do a little bit of manipulation so you can utilize the blind.

Also without a chest piece it puts more work on your other items to cap resists but the build is set up nicely to grab some extra resist nodes to make up for some of the loss.

You sir are correct, melee phys does not increase the projectile damage. Though the initial hit damage is nice, to maximize the overall fire damage Fire Pen would be better. Good suggestion with the projectiles not scaling to change the cruel choice.

I had a little time so updated the build a bit, cleaned up the 2am train wreck that was my organization and added a little bit of information.

-removed the 2 phys dmg from duelist
-included the +IAS nodes by scion... just to good to not hint to players to take these.
-added some final build pathing ideas for peoples convenience.
-added some unique links
-added link to dmillz variation

With the build you did earlier for me with conc effect + Inc AoE. Im going to take out increased area of effect and not try it and just go with what you said.

Adding BoR into the mix what nodes would you hit and when i can afford it i shall get the invitation belt (fire) possibly Shall see which is better.

I think im going to try BoR and Abyssus see which one is better. If i cant cap my resists atleast over 70% then ill drop BoR and stick with abyssus.
