REVIVING MOLTEN STRIKE
PATH OF BUILDING https://pastebin.com/h62t7n3x VIDEOS With Tribal Fury Annoint: T17 Clear: https://youtu.be/6mo3Awn-NPQ Note: I did not use Tribal Fury in below videos so clear is somewhat slower. Tribal is fine for bossing and you wont notice much difference in DPS. A8 Conquerers: https://youtu.be/GEP7FLxFAss A8 Sirus: https://youtu.be/IbJ3_1uTMYg (Death because I lack patience) Juicy T16s: https://youtu.be/IRLAOHGf0x8 - https://youtu.be/OGQYHt3dC34 Warlord Run: https://youtu.be/ms5gsK_6dUk Delve 400+: INTRO I got frustrated with the new end game tankiness of bosses, so I set out to solve the puzzle. My goal here was to easily delete all content. This build works by abusing Paradoxica "Attacks with this weapon deal double damage". This means we stack as much flat damage as possible on gear, gems, and in the tree. Bonus points for using The Savior for those sweet sweet illusion boyz. ABOUT MOLTEN STRIKE Traditionally Molten Strike has been a THICC JUGG slow and tanky skill. The nice AOE and life gained on hit of the skill can help the slow moving tanks stay alive and clear packs decently. But that is not how we are going to use it. We are going for high DPS, high APS, and high movement. #1 MOLTEN STRIKE DPS: POE Ninja is an OK measure but we are doing better even better once you dig in. We are using The Savior for essentially doubled DPS from the illusions and increased AOE. We have more balls than the other top builds. We are also WAY faster.  20M DPS (40M with Savior Illusions)  PROS & CONS PROS + Melee + Extremely fast and engaging to play + Rush and Delete Bosses + Wipe Maps + Clear all content (*Aul gave me a lot of trouble due to 1-shot mechanics) CONS - Melee - Top tier gear will be expensive - Deadeye is squishy (plan here is to kill before being killed) MY GEAR DETAILED GEAR GUIDE

6-Link Awakened versions are great but NOT necessary for this build Molten Strike Multistrike Fire Penetration Elemental Focus Elemental Damage to Attacks Concentrated Effect 4-Link Leap Slam Endurance Charge on Melee Stun Support Fortify Support Faster Attacks Support 4-Link Enlighten Support (lvl 4 to run precision) Heral of Ash Anger Precision 3-Link Blood Rage Ancestral Protector Enhance 2-Link Cast When Damage Taken Immortal Call No Link Vaal Haste Blood and Sand Vaal Molten Shell ASCENDANCY We are going Deadeye for several reasons: Endless Munitions: Extra Projectile and 50% increased AOE Tailwind: Massive move and attack speed boost. Increased Evasion Rating. Rupture: Massive DPS from bleeding. Life gain on hit is nice also. Last edited by xaeror35#2761 on Feb 14, 2020, 5:45:52 PM Last bumped on May 31, 2020, 3:46:45 AM

always been a fan of molten strike, came across this build i was wondering if there were any significant changes in 3.10 that you may have noticed perhaps with any of the new cluster jewels
|

as the saviour is currently riding around 30ex, is there an alternative you recommend?
Does the build work without it? I mean, it should, but obviously we lose 50% dps, but how much do you gain from an offhand having some good dps? |

Currently playing the build with this gear. Damage is great, but mapping and acutally leveling wont happen. One little mistake and you get oneshot. Would recommend the build for farming shaper, uber elder etc.
Not getting the same dps numbers in POB yet, but getting there. Build maker got any tips for improving? POB: https://pastebin.com/7EyNVa8X |
