whats rmt? ive got some exalts cause i was able to find and trade some decent rares/uniques. the only things i really needed for this build were ngahamu and xophs. i was playing berserker anyway.

i would have dropped arctic armour in case of using ele weakness. then id have 70% mana reserved.
even if a +1 curse xoph's would be offered for trade, i wouldnt be able to afford it, thats why i was more focused on whisper of doom, but i lose quite alot of life for the 5 skill points, so i think its not worth it.

btw i was testing ele overload by watching the buff in the left corner in the screen while mapping. i tried it on a blue hydra map. i can only keep up ele overload if im mapping like a race car without picking up anything. then its possible to keep it up cause it procs unreliably and u have to hit permanently to be able to keep the buff up. the onslaught buff procs much more often than eo and is easier to sustain. eo is up while facetanking the guardian, if i had to dodge and run all the time it wouldnt be possible to keep eo up. i facetanked and melted minotaur and hydra - havent tried phoenix and chimera yet, but i think i wont be able to facetank phoenix. i tried using ice golem and a diamond flask, but it didnt make a noticeable difference. the focus on the clearspeed is the only thing that made a difference.

i stopped using blood rage cause it caused more problems than it helped. used vaal haste instead, but i cant keep it up all the time and besides recasting it inside the mobs causes a delay that isnt worth it. imho keeping it for the boss isnt worth it either. i tried rallying cry and enduring cry afterwards, but both of them were quite useless.

eventually i added a golem instead. i added a lightning golem to my cwdt setup, cause its more dps than the flame golem and helps u proc eo more often than the ice golem.

i tested cyclone, sweep, cleave, earthquake, sunder and infernal blow for mapping. sweep was probably the fastest with the most aoe, but the dmg is too low for t11+ maps. btw i get stuck with cyclone way too often if its not a wide open map. its not so easy to recognize every single rock on the ground... im using molten strike for single target as well as for mapping now.

i tried dying sun as well. imho inc aoe + dying sun works quite good with molten for mapping. you neednt stack molten projectiles to oneshot the mobs. i tried the overflowing chalice, but it isnt really worth it. if u keep up the clearspeed u can also keep up the flask charges without it. atm i prefer basalt of heat over toh for the freeze immunity - if im running t15+ maps im switching dying sun for toh for the extra dmg mitigation though.

overall a very nice build! im still not convinced that eo is better than rt + primeval force. if u pick rt + primeval force and drop all notes after rt u can pick the life notes around constitution instead and then ull have more life than before as well - even if u have to pick hard knocks for int and diamond skin for res. eo is way too unreliable and depending on speed consistency, making it only outstanding in optimal circumstances. and thats not hypothetical, cause im testing it myself :)

/edit: i saw a molten strike berserker with point blank support instead of ele focus support. is ele focus in this setup better than point blank? i mean we r using point blank in the skill tree, so it cant be wrong using point blank support gem. the question is what provides more dmg? i dont trust the tooltip dps. its 40% projectile dmg vs 50% ele dmg or 50% projectile vs 60% ele with quality gems.

ok i farmed all guardians several times so far and when u know how to do them, they are just a joke for this build.

im killing all guardians deathless in a couple of seconds except for chimera (takes longer coz of the phases, but also deathless), even if they have triple dmg mods lol...

ive never done guardians and shaper before and i have big issues against the shaper. the dmg is enough, but im too stupid to dodge his attacks... i guess i wouldnt be able to do shaper with any build cause u have to dodge his attacks with every build eventually... i think ill just have to practice to improve...

havent tried uber atziri yet, but i guess ill have to practice more against atziri, cause sometimes i die against her 1-2 times, cause i dunno which ones the mirror or where to go and when to go where ^^

/edit: path of building told me that atziri's disfavour = more dmg than ngahamus flame. adding the average molten burst dmg from ngahamus flame atziri's dmg is only slightly higher, but with atziri's the lifeleech is much better and the initial hit hits much harder.
path of building told me that added fire dmg sup = more effective dmg than fire pen sup except against guardians and shaper (dunno for uber atziri)!
but if ur playing with cyclone for mapping ngahamus flame is way more effective!

@krilox : why not using "Fury Bolts" anymore in your passive tree ? it looks good and he used it on your outdated PoePlanner tree link
