[2.4] EmberStrike - 2h Flickerstrike - Insane damage

@LadyCaity I personally wouldnt consider tri-curse heratic's veil. That might be because i'm quite comfortable with the build right now. If you can work around having mana issues Veil might be decent.

@Desert_Elk I think each different class offers a unique take on the build. I chose elementalist because I found the conflux/ Proliferate to be VERY strong. In higher tier maps, that's where they really shine. Monster's have much higher HP in top tier maps and therefore the proliferate really pulls its own weight.

Yes the AoE of prolif is small, but it pretty much always spreads monsters right beside the one that is hit. On bosses, you can hit 300 stacks instantly if there are rares/blues nearby.

The elementalist also provides some status ailment duration - great for when monsters walk over burning corpses and instantly die. The reduced elemental damage taken helps deal with reflect rares. Overall, I feel it is the most powerful class for the build.


Edit - I am currently testing a variation - I removed chance to ignite gem from flickerstrike and replaced with additional accuracy. I also unspecced out of Resolute Technique and got elemental overload for 40% more damage. I lost hp, but gained a lot of damage.

What links did you use with Blade Vortex to level?

Thanks for the reply! It's good to know that the prolif is indeed worth it.

One more question about passives, if you don't mind. Why do you stay in the templar and marauder portion of the tree? The duelist area is the best area for Oro Flicker strike, imho. You could path down there and get a lot more damage, leech and fire pen, at the cost of only a little skill duration. Maybe a tree like:

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the passives. If there is a strong reason to go into the templar branch, I'm open to it. It just seems like a shame to pass on everything in the duelist area.

@LadyCaity - 5L blade vortex - spell echo - faster casting - chance to ignite - increased duration
If you dont have a 5L for it, you can use a 4L - I ran BV - echo - ignite - inc duration.

@Desert_Elk - I went near the templar area for a couple of reasons. First of all, I wanted to have a high amount of life and mana regen. Secondly, the fire nodes at the top of the witch are fairly good, they give 10% chance to ignite, 3% fire pen, and about 90% inc fire damage.

The main reason however, is because I had also considered going elemental overload, and wanted to be able to switch to it with better gear. (I am currently using this keystone right now, I will update a portion of the guide for it).

I noticed a lot of the sword nodes you have selected provide physical damage to swords, which does nothing for the build. Some of them also provide accuracy and attack speed, but I think jewels would be better. Force of nature and lava lash are really good though.

By going through the templar/marauder area, you get a lot of life regen and mana regen, and its very close to the witch fire nodes and Elemental overload. By going the duelist route, you have access to amazing life/mana leech nodes. If you dont have access to a legacy vinktar, then I believe it may be more worthwhile to go by the duelist area for the leech nodes at the very least. But I also strongly recommend getting dodge/spell dodge.

This is a future skill tree I will be investigating. It has the best of both worlds so to speak. I removed the fire nodes up by the witch to gain the duelist leech nodes and 3 jewel sockets. 3 perfect jewels to use would be 15% fire damage - 10% increased damage - attack speed - Life. 3 jewels with these mods would net 75% inc dmg - 9-21% attack speed - and 21% life.

All of those physical 2 hand melee weapon nodes are within reach of the jewel "fireborn" if it is placed in the jewel socket between them, converting them into "fire damage with two handed melee weapon" passives.

oh good point, i forgot about that jewel


Edit - I added a video for 81 palace using Elemental Overload. I refrained from using vinktar's for most of the map simply to showcase the build.

What links did you run Ice Crash in while leveling with Facebreakers?

good question haha

I believe It was Ice crash - cold to fire - chance to ignite - added fire damage - melee physical - fire pen.

I also ran Avatar of fire for 100% fire conversion - hits were doing roughly 20k-40k fire damage.
