Damn that was quick :) Reason is I did hit level 100 yesterday and thus I don't mind dying occasionally.

I covered Warped Timepiece in luxury upgrades section. Reason why I waited for level 100 was because I wasn't able to proc +1 curse on it and therefore I would have to drop 1 curse. With level 100 I don't mind losing some tankiness - I got rid of Enfeeble and replaced it with Increased Area of Effect.

Also I dropped Arctic Armour and replaced it with Empower lvl 4.

Results are fine. Best case scenario would be Warped Timepiece with +1 curse and Skyforth's boots.

If you are still leveling and can't afford Skyforth's I recommend you to stick with Chayula.

Got it. Gratz on hitting lvl 100!!!

Hello, below is my equipment and skill tree. Would you please take a look into why my paper Incinerate damage is so low. It's only roughly 8k. Only half of what you showed.

Hi, thx for being interested in my build and sorry for being late with response. This is what I noticed for now:

4% spell damage on Scolds.

2% spell damage on Consuming Dark (I replaced perferct spell dmg roll for one with 53% with Culling Strike corrupted mod).

43% spell damage on shield.

2% cast speed on Emberwake.

Anger lvl 18 (I had lvl 21 when I made screenshots).

You dont have allocated Elemental Overload but you are using Assasins Mark? Why? Emberwake makes your crit deal same damage as normal hit. Only reason why I used Assassin's Mark was to proc Elemental Overload.

Also you dont have +1 curse on Chayula threfore you can inflict only 2 curses, but you have socketed 3. I recommend you to drop Assassins Mark and replace it with Ice Spear. YOu should do this anyway. Im using CWDT, Temporal CHains, Poachers Mark and Ice Spear and I wouldnt go back. Ice Spear is better than assassins mark and works even under curse immune map mod.

You are missing a lot damage passives in the tree because of lower level. Can't do much about that I guess, but I recommend you to respec few points in order to get Elemental Overload or at least make it priority for the future.

YOu are missing some quality on gems linked to INcinerate and bear in mind that I had 21/20 INcinerate when I made screens. That does a lot too.

Thx, that was really helpful (using another account). But would you by any chance can update / edit on your post since the new gem setup are useful. Maybe you can update once a while if you find anything important, that would be great.

Thx

Would spell echo work better than faster casting? or the spell damage reducing is too much?

thx

Spell Echo doesn't work with Incinerate anymore.

I wont be able to afford Taming in Standard. And I actually have a 6L infernal mantle lying around. What's your thoughts on using Infernal Mantle instead of a rare ES chest? And what stats should I focus on for rare rings? Or are there any unique rings to consider?

Thanks.

I myself am using Infernal Mantle at the moment. It is great boost to Incinerate damage and life leech if you are using Hungry Abyss jewel like me. However you are potentially losing some ES and resists. If you are still able to cap resists, I say go for it.

With rings its a bit tricky since Taming and Emberwake works soooo well with Elementalist subclass (free prolif and 100% chance to ignite from Arcane Conflux). Without Taming... man you could consider running Elreon Rings and reduced mana cost from tree to bring mana cost to zero. This way you could replace Mana Leech gem with something else (Controlled Destruction or Empower). However zero mana cost means no VMS explosions from VMS... and it would be quite different build.

That being said, if you still want to stick to my "guide" :) best offensive stat for this build is cast speed. Then I would aim for Energy Shield and resists to cover lack of resists on the rest of the gear.

Hi,may u added video with Atziri run and do you have problem whith reflect?

I can't, since I dont have fragments and dont want to buy them. Sorry

THis build dont have problem with reflect with -max resists even when I used only legacy Consuming Dark (75% conversion).

After patch it will be nerfed to 60% of its current value. It might be needed to use Infernal Mantle to handle reflect without any issues.
