Explosive Impact seems a bit meh to be honest. 4 points for what's basically 1 jewel of stats. Taking MoM over those points seems fine, especially since raw ES also gives damage. I've skipped Explosive Impact entirely and I'm not missing the cluster at all. In a couple levels I'll have the points to redo my tree a bit more and I'll try out MoM then.

Testing in PoB:
ES goes up from 15,059 to 15,572
RF DPS goes down from 534,683 to 524,394

How does Elemental Equilibrium work with this build? I just got some great gloves below, but they have added fire damage on them... does that basically make them useless to me because it will buff enemies against fire damage?

1.8% dps for 500 es seems ok. It's more dps than that ofc since SR would be lower. But you're talking about the insane mirrored standard gear that Ahfack has. His tree is optimised for that, he makes sure to say it very clearly in the OP so that league players don't mistakenly try to follow his build blindly.

For league players his choices of taking as much damage as he can might not be ideal for their particular gear setups. He goes for life+chaos res instead of +resist/+15% es because it makes sense to him to cap his chaos res, while for people with 2/3rds of his es the chaos res might not even factor. I think it's important to play around with your setup, gems and tree to best work with the gear you have available - I've certainly tested a lot of different things and have plans for more stuff I'd like to tinker with.

For league players you can also look at the profile of Uberdan (PoEDan79- https://pastebin.com/hmM5V1Za) who was using LL SR RF to farm shaper in HC Harbinger, he has a pretty different tree since he obviously focuses a lot more on defence. But I learnt a lot just by comparing the two trees and figuring out why people made the choices they did.

Another person to look at might be PressStarttoPaws (Kisaryn) who played SR RF extensively in the 3.0 beta and is playing one on HC now and takes a slightly different approach again, using a multimmodded +2 gem auras helm rather than go for empowers.

tl/dr: us league players, like the guy you were replying to, can't blindly follow a build designed for GG legacy gear, we have to try to make informed choices and keep updating and testing the stuff we're doing. This has been the most interesting build I've played mostly because every little change has so many effects.

If you use shield charge yes. If you use lw you're fine

I think I can say this is "low budget" build compared to my goal.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question! Oh man. I've actually been using Flame Dash as my movement skill. I guess I should replace it with LW. So, LW to trigger Elemental Equilibrium and then OoS to trigger Elemental Overload, is that right?
