[2.2] The Fireborn - Oro's Sacrifice Multipurpose Full Fire Marauder

Hi this is a build i have made using Oro's Sacrifice. It can use multiple skills such as cyclone, sweep, ice crash, flicker strike and other's, for this guide I will be showing mostly cyclone as that is the skill I prefer and feel is most useful. I have used this build in both hardcore and standard league's.

Here is a video I recorded of an Atziri run so you can have something to gauge the damage against other build's with similiar video's. Link:https://youtu.be/tYDhyOdZ5LQ

For people unfamiliar with Oro's Sacrifice or Fireborn Jewel I have posted my current one's below

you get the 2h phys in the duelist area but oros has no phys man

Read fireborn gem.

Hey I have updated the general build information section with a screenshot showing how fireborn convert's the physical/weapon node's to benefit me as pure fire.

nice build

1)
have you tried the new emberwake ring with this build (+the taming for insane dps boost due to ignite stacks)? you hit and ignite a lot so it would seem to benefit this build?

2)
secondly, have you tried a dual curse setup with flammability + elemental weakness? it would seem to be an insane dps increase.

3)
thirdly, why do you use blood rage? the 4% life regen you loose is a lot, especially with high health! shouldn't oros by itself provide enough ignitions (maybe combined with emberwake) to always keep you at maximum charges?

4)
lastly i still don't get why you use herald of ash. it does not add tootlip dps because you don't deal physical damage and it does not add that much more aoe clear because cyclone hits are small but fast, so the overkill dmg ist small compared to big hitting skills. personally i would rather go for grace + determination for very good phys protection. i.e. ditch alpahs howl for a good rare (life + res) and drop the aura nodes for more passive points.



edit:
to further elaborate point 1:
chance to ignite: 10% (oros), 10% passive tree (all nearby in templar area), 5% (emberwake), 5% (the taming), 49% chance to ignite == 79% chance to ignite. (cyclone + faster attacks + life leech + weapon elemental damage + blood magic + chance to ignite)

i don't know your attack speed, but i would assume you will roughly hit 3 to 4 times a second, i.e. you get approximately 3 ignites per second on a target. with a 4 second burn duration (i.e. no daydian dawn belt!) you will get 12 ignites, i.e. 120% increased damage from the taming which is more than ~70% from two rare rings.
keep in mind that the taming gives 30% and emberwake up to 25% in addition to the ignite bonuses, i.e. the total damage of both unique rings is 175% increased fire damage after 3 seconds ignite rampup.

the downside is that this setup is much more expensive and needs to ramp up (full damage after 3 seconds). however things that boost attack speed like vaal haste would make this more insane.


edit 2:

addendum: the main problem with the setup is that you don't have space for fire penetration, or you have to use blood magic from the passive tree. while this gives you quite a bit of a life boost, you can't use any auras. (on the other hand you could then combine clear mind with crown of eyes for another 60% increased damage, although this is probably not optimal, crown of eyes is a bad item in this build)

the best setup is probably:
cyclone + weapon elemental damage + chance to ignite + life leech + blood magic + fire penetration, i.e. drop faster attacks.

edit 3:
to add to ignite stacks you could add a lvl 1 codt with a low level q20 molten shell with chance to ignite and increased aoe ==> ~100% chance to ignite in a fairly good radius.


edit 4:
my proposed build:


build

all in all the taming + emberwake is probably a bit too expensive for the gains. the damage is probably good enough and you can always add in conc for bosses (instead of chance to ignite with taming/emberwake). also atziri can't be ignited :(

sadly the combination of codt + fire nova mine + detonate mines + chance to ingite does not work. you always have to place the mines separately, only the detonate mines gem works with codt. this would have been an awesome ignite stack engine :'(

Hi mate I will answer your question's in bullet form as asked.
1) I haven't tried emberwake because the taming isn't easily obtainable and probably not worth the expense for a slight upgrade in damage, plus i would lose 2 rare rings with alot of defenses built in with good damage for a reasonable price

2)I haven't bothered with dual curse because I've never felt a lack of DPS, but a single curse flammability is very effective if that was your choice of curse

3) I use blood rage in the video just for more attack speed/dps, if I played hardcore it probably would be replaced by vaal haste (Which is also an option for warbands obviously, I sometime use vaal cyclone for clearing low content and fun)
4) Herald of Ash is just a pure DPS option, running arctic armour is probably more effective and better all round

I have 2 questions.

What do you think about Lava lash 50% increased fire damage for 3 points.

My second question is what about removing Sovereignty and Purity of flesh for the Celestial judgement/punishment wheel. In a build that is not planning on being able to acquire a Alpha's howl to run grace/anger and AA.



Edit. You can also suggest a Cloak of flame as a cheap Coil Alternative.

Nice build bro. Currently trying to link this bastard
