Oro's Molten Strike (level 70)

@Kartikdon

How would you scale the physical 2Hander better?

Heya,

Cool build! I think there are some great points here. I do however believe a physical 2h weapon will better suit a molten strike(r).

I am trying desperately to incorporate three dragons/shock and Avatar of Fire, because in theory I am doing all fire damage and I can stack shocks on a boss, it will do more damage. However, Three dragons has no life which is a major downfall. Also, with AoF I can't leech mana with gear...causing me to use blood magic gem or blood magic on skill tree...no bueno!

Point is I think the ES molten strike build is solid, but if you could use a physical weapon, it might help :-)

I do about 115k dps as resolute technique/life build.

Hey, do you plan on updating this build to 1.3.0? I'm trying to make life version and here's what i got so far. I really wanted to go Point Blank but I don't think it's worth it.

I haven't played this build since my original post really. I still like it quite a bit though. I won't be doing an update as on now. I'm sure there are quite a few good molten strike builds to chose from though if looking for a guide.

Edit: I mocked up a tree real quick. https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgUASpiLjPndwGaUXMxmaPID7jOHHb48LfcycqnE9gn21HwGDift73yf34Kbmjs8BeFz7SB35VfiMokt0ox2njzsOHGFwBq3MUbXVynzEbFCeub3wRps5CIpT-xVKo1JGzbY8WysmPfXm6GnCJ2uLpSXhTT3IbDDbVxrhEgBb-L3i3qHZa-3MjQfAjbFj0avjR0UPV9SU5eVTLMEB6crNbkdTy0fEVBtGRsl2VvfiukCS65WYxXXhq4sv8HFf8aio8HzlSBfatvnRwZd8g5IEZZjQ_LhES8rCrb3fNmsqlnznz5DY5rPcU087xhdrfE=

This tree has a lot of extra damage, I think like 100% more fire damage over the original build. You could always remove some elemental damage to grab reduced mana nodes for running anger or haste yourself (on top of discipline and purity of fire) if you don't party play much.


Edit 2: Based on your life build, I'd make a couple changes and finish it like this: https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgUA-d2LjE8EQ8hboKdVfA5o8vAfogAEs4Kb7SDhc3flV-IyiS3SOtiQVScvGjjAGnGFsULzEXzZ9zJyqayqWfOfPgn21HwGDiftxPb-VA3NK1Aczj0PGF0878Bm-ehBh7c-xq48Ldi9_go1kv6PTeOmV_JFOuEyCXJsbEapbrXy-tJmnhcvJLCApEKjeC-boY9GHRRYB6yY99culJeFNPchsPFs7FUqjUkbNthVxjpYkc677fjr6hh25zhTIq-ezdIhVw3Pfnas42oWbzbpJKq8NzlSA-4zhx2-zzJZbV-YbqrMZpRcSphG16-NVyk=

Since the sword causes you to take increased physical damage, I'd get the skill duration buffs and run immortal call with as much uptime as possible.
The increased melee damage nodes by templar definitely help but could be skipped for some more max life/life regen nodes.
And since you are life based, GMP with LGOH it your best source of regen. Without looking it up it's like 50 life gained on hit, initial hit plus like 8 projectiles is 250 life gained per hit with like 2 hits per second if not more. 500+ life per second. Life leech may pass it up later game, not sure.
