[Outdated] Zivko's CI Chaos Incinerate build - 200k dps / 10 000 ES

@ogrec

ok, ty

I'm trying this out again, after the patch/update/nerf.

Got my witch up and running and so far, all good.

Everything turns a nice shade of green as Incinerate fires up and starts frying/BBQ'ing everything in sight. :)

I'll start running some maps soon and test her out as far as not RIP'ing goes...but she looks pretty strong.

Thanks mate,

R.


*Edit* [Update]: > Excellent! Killing everything that moves. No problems, she rocks!

Hi!
Thank you for guide! I want to try this build, so i have one question: what skill gems should be maxed and what should be on specific level?

I suggest for leveling you stay hybrid until you have at least 12k toopltip dps and a 5L chest to put in life leech gem as 5th link.
Pick stun avoidance while casting nodes in which area and nimbleness, you can do up to t6-t7 maps without chayula and you will need 3x elreon jewellery until you get 6L mantle to put in reduced mana and drop amulet.

I've played the build till lvl 84 after the patch and its possible to do it on 4L, but you dont have life leech. I wouldnt recommend you play it like that if you didnt play it before and dont have experience fighting difficult rares and uniques without leech, you wont enjoy the build if you start ripping if your gear is not good enough.
I've done Atziri on a 4L on undergeared lower lvl character so i know its perfectly viable, i just dont recommend it cause it takes a lot of focus, its nowhere near as easy as fully geared build.

About gems, 20/20 incinerate is a priority. If you're starting a new char, buy one with 10-12& quality and gcp it with every gcp that drops while you level, you dont want to vendor-relevel it, trust me on this. Rest of the gems do not need any quality, just levels. If you're using faster casting or reduced mana, try and get some quality on those, you can vendor recipe them once they hit 20 thou, i think lvl 14 20% fc is better then lvl 20 fc and it levels fast to 14.

I respec from 87 level char to your build. In your gear i see that you have level 1 Life Leech - why u dont max it and some other skill gems?
And what about CWDT - what level they should be?

There's no difference between lvl 1 and lvl 20 life leech gem since the build has VP. Well difference is required strength i guess.

I use curses and tempest shield on cwdt, but you're welcome to experiment, maybe you figure out a better cwdt setup.

O, really forgot about VP - now i understand. Thank a lot for answers!

..........She was running hot, murdering everything.

Then Haast spawned on me out of sight around a corner when I was busy killing a big mob of monsters in a high level map, and I never noticed him until he was right on top of me and one hit.... RIP.

My ES life was a bit low because I was getting hammered on all sides, but if I saw him coming I could have done better, I reckon.

Apart from this, every map I've run has been faultless. This build still works very well for me.

On boss's I use Vaal Skellies as a meatshield/distraction which works very well, but mostly don't even need them.

All my gems are 20/20 or 21/20 except the wither, controlled destruction and void manipulation gems, which i'm currently leveling past 17.

Great build, ogrec, loving it. It's good to be back on Incinerate. :)

Hi Ogrec,

First, thanks for salvaging this build, it seems to be viable regarding the feedback so it's great news. Didn't had the opportunity to test out yet as i'm currently playing on Talisman.

I was using previously a corrupted +1 5L mantle wich i sold, so i have the currency needed to afford a 6L one. About the 6L mantle and regarding the ES/defense loss with this new setup, wich type of Mantle would you advise to get, a legacy with 42-45% fire dmg (+10% implicit), but around 440 ES, or a non-legacy, 520-540 ES mantle with 32-35% fire damage ?

Cheers,

You wouldnt even notice difference in damage, but you would lack of es. Definitely non-legacy.
