How many pierces are enough for smooth clearing ? I have 5 atm and thinking of dropping to 4, is it still enough ?

I (think) I've only got two sources of pierce: Penetrating Arrow Quiver implicit and glove craft, and my clear feels super great. (unless there are other sources I'm missing)

Suddenly I realised that I have budget body armour with no +1 Curse and also a ring that procs Flammability on hit.

Therefore I assume my Hextouch+Despair skill gems coupled with WoC are making no sense.

Is there anything else I can squeeze in instead of them? I use CODT+Immortal Call, so Steelskin is not an option. Maybe Bloodrage. Any ideas for the second one?

Here is my char, for reference: https://poeplanner.com/b/d_S

UPD: tested Arcanist Brand+WoC+Combustion Support. So far looks good. Arcanist Brand also seem to be working alongside Storm Brand, also attached to the same enemy.
The only downside is that I may have only 3 brands in total at any time.

UPD2: Does anyone know, if I attach Arcanist Brand to the boss and it procs Wave of Conviction, will the boss be affected by this debuff?

atach only this brand to 1 mob and check if it dies ;) effect will be ur answer.

On no-dual curse malachai is a better ring ;)
Also before uning EE I had Arcanist brand+Combustion+Flamability+FlameWall ;)
Passing FW gives some nice +dmg ;p but destroys EE with golem.

Any advice on what I should upgrade next?
I was thinking about getting an helmet enchant and maybe fire damage to burning enemies on the gloves. What do you think?

So far WoC seem to be affecting mob that AB is attached to...

Regarding Malachai... Yeah, I thought about going back to it, but the ring I bought does a little bit more than just Flammability on hit:
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to measure difference between Malachai and this one in DPS way...

Plus, since arrows fly over the screen, it is more efficient to clear maps with Flammability on hit without the need to approach the mob at short WoC distance and apply curse manually.

Btw, why do you think Flame Wall will destroy golem's EE? The EE is applied only by golem, socketed in Malachai. Any skill applied by you directly (or through Arcanist) should not affect it. Or am I understanding it worong?

Only socketed golem will apply EE, and his projectiles can pass thru FlameWall and get +fire dmg ;) And its broken.

and as for curse on hit, all existence but bosses will die on hit anyway, so whats the difference. I dont even cast WoC on bosses anyway, they burn to fast.

does chance to deal double damage good for this build? have it on lethal pride

Ah right! Projectiles! Now I get it, thanks.

I wish my bosses also burned fast, but there's a lot to upgrade yet :)

DOes bottled faith work well wwith this build?

noone know, guys?

Bottled Faith is definitly a good option , i personally always used it after getting rid of the mana flask.

"does chance to deal double damage good for this build? have it on lethal pride"

double dmg does nothing for this build !
