Hi !

Congratulations on your appointment to Build of the Week, I've posted previously on your build thread when i was theory crafting and today I'm 90. I changed a lot of things and I think to post the results as soon as possible.


My main thoughts on your build

I think you would benefit by going down the tree (more block and life/armor + life regen + MoM and why not IR)
Tempest shield is bad vs lightning thorn (tempest shield damages cast LThorn)
Lack of armor may be offset by lighning coil unique
Fire node are useless since its better to use +dmg gems on your 6L incinerate
Also, maybe you should think your build with more points to be more optimized


These are just my observations, I dont think to have the perfect build, it's only in order to encourage thought. If you want more details please pm me.

first of all: thanks mate :)

Yeah the build can be alot safer (AKA more for hardcore) by skipping damage nodes, and taking life nodes in the scion/marauder tree. However for ambush I prefer extremely fast map clears with a lot of damage.

But everyone can change/alter their build in their own desired way ^^

so for all the people that do not believe incinerate can shock. I made a short vid showing the shock on blue vaal fallens and the big vaal fallen dudes in palace map (lvl 78)

This is just to showcase the shock effect and potential of this build. However, shocking the stronger bosses (dominus in palace, or atziri) is not possible

yes, the blue gulls with triple damage modifiers hit me like a truck near the end ^^


what u think if use cloak of defian 5L, better def , i think, because u have 4k8 heath and 380 mana regen

I'm a CoD user (with a different skill), and see big problems using it with this specific build. As an incinerate user, you stand still so often that you're bound to take big hits. When you take big hits, you'll run out of mana very quickly, which will interrupt your Incinerate, destroying your dps and sustain.

I'm running EB-MoM on a three dragons incinerate build. Using
is a must, otherwise running out of mana and thereby interrupting incinerate and resetting it to level 1 happens too often.
How often your Tempest shield freezes?

If often, think about using elemental proliferation on it.

Congrats on the build of the week!

I run a similar build with Fireball + LMP + dragon fireball effect. Looks cool cause I can shoot three dragons while using the three dragons unique helm. It does allow me to shock bosses for a very short time, doesn't really stack shocks though. Probably doesn't do as much damage as incinerate but it's a good for support because I can shock higher health enemies from a safe distance for my party members to do added damage.

I also use spell totem + fireball + lmp + elemental proliferation for stacking shocks quickly on mobs. And if a boss has some adds the proliferation will shock the boss for a good amount of time.

I will have to try the flame totem, sounds like a good idea. I'm so far away from that +5% chance to freeze node though =(.

question: Does Cybils paw give life gain to totems?
