When clearing maps:


If you want more projectiles, switch faster projectiles to greater multipler projectiles .

When killing bosses, switch faster projectiles to slower projectiles .

Arcane surge is an alternative for fire penetration

Spells to use:
From level 1: use magma orb
From level 12: use firestorm
When you have socketed inevitable jewels in the two jewel slots, use magma orb again

Support gems to consider: faster casting, controlled destruction, echo, elemental focus, concentrated effect and lesser multiple projectiles.

Later on immolate, fire penetration and faster/slower projectiles for magma orb.

Lvl 1: Dual life sprig

Before Atziri:

Any leveling tips ? I've never done a marauder before


What about bandits?

Is this build still under 1 exalted orb?



What about atziri/uber atziri? And lab/uber lab?



The Taming is pretty expensive. Seems like this can significantly boost your build, but otherwise, what's the alternative?



What about guardian? And shaper...



What about Atziri and others ignite immunes?. How can you deal with them?



What gives the Helmet - "socketed gems have 50% chance to ignite" and the sceptre - "10% chance to cast level 20 burst on hit"?


You chose elemental focus for the scepter. Why didn't u choose to use Fire penetration so that the Fire Blast can ignite?



Are there any other spells which can link to the higher CWDT set up instead of Artict Armour?

Raskofshadows gave us great tips which I will repost here:

Level to 16 and then use facebreakers with the skill gem shield charge till your reach level 28. Then use ancestral warchief till 68.

To improve the results of anchestral warchief Raskofshadows got the following items:

Belt
At level 9 - Meginord's Girdle

Quiver
At level 19 Skirmish Two-Point Arrow Quiver - this makes it so you can use 2 warchief totems

Helmets
Goldrim
At level 35 The Three Dragons - 30+ to all resists, but has weird mods your choice
At level 60 - Equip Abyssus Ezomyte Burgonet

Rings
At level 16 Mokou's Embrace - If you can't afford taming
At level 16 Emberwake
Could also use Pyre Sapphire Ring at level 11 then once level 16 equipt the rings above

Amulet
At lvl 8 - Ignomon

My own, ChrispieD's comments

As amulet you can also get rare amulets with added physical damage or unique amulets like:

At level 24 - Karui Charge Jade Amulet
At level 55 - Bloodgrip Coral Amulet

When it comes to rings, I would recommend rare rings with physical damage or:
At level 30 - The Warden's Brand
It gives a very high physical damage base to facebreakers, with an attack speed downside that is covered partly by Karui Charge Jade Amulet or the support gem faster attacks.

Conversion from ancestral warchief at lvl 68 tree:



Endgame tree at lvl 89


Abberath's Hooves tree (AFK GONE META) at lvl 92:

Prioritize max roll 7% increased life on all your jewels before anything else. If resists are missing you get that as well. Damage that helps our build is spell damage, area damage, elemental damage, fire damage and increased damage, where the last four double dip. Chance to ignite on the jewels is also very useful.

In the top left jewel slot after the elemental nodes, next to whispers of doom, an 8% anatomical knowledge unique jewel can be plased as it gives a a bit more life than a rare life jewel.

Note: the 4 off colour belly of the beast used for vaal RF can be replaced with a more budget friendly 5 linked es chest or hybrid es chest (any ilvl), crafted with deafening essence of greed. I lose about 200 hp with it, which is allright. To not have to off colour the abberath's I mention an alternative setup under the title "My Links - Abberath's version".



Vaal RF Gear and weapon switch:


Flasks on guadrians Vaal RF:

NOTE:
If you don't want to run 4 off colour abberath's hooves (bit expensive), there is an alternative setup. Put blasphemy+flammability+elemental weakness in razor of the seventh sun (3 blue with vorici) and blasphemy+flammability+elemental weakness in the same order in the doryani's catalyst in off hand that corresponds the place of razor of the seventh sun, so the blasphemy works with the weapon switch. Keep the increased area of effect in abberath's and add a 3 link high level CWDT setup. Put cyclone+fortify in gloves and a 2 link high level CWDT setup. Best of luck!

We have Vega06 to thank for sharing the following text, which is a direct citation of him/her.

As some of You asked, I'm going to write couple of tips how to success with ANY T15 mods [even refl.] and T16.

At first : You need to have 6 more sockets.

~Wat?

You need second pair of weapons [+1ex on std, cuz of 60C for Hysteria]. One for mob clearing and second for boss kills. [You swap them via X button before boss fight]
It should look like this [Check gems, they are important]:
Hands for mobclearing.

Hands for boss kills.


~Okay, got that, what's next?

You need all gems to be level ~19-20.
Expections -> Must have 20/20 Molten Shell and 0/20 or 0/21 Anger. [ Great dps improvement ]
So You lose next couple of C, even an Ex.
~And that's it?

Phew. No, it's just a beggining.
For mob clearing i recommend spark, cuz with good gems it spreads very fast [ignite] and you see all the mobs even in dark corners. My cheap 6L for it. [ Took it in tabula's price ]

For boss kills, we need Kaom's. Normal 1 ex Kaom's work well. I have 8450 hp with it.

~Okay, but 8450hp is not enough for Mino / Mala hit with some nasty map mods, like +100% cold etc.

For that, we have to increase our EHP pool to 11-12k. Its easy to do it. If you have already checked gems in boss killing weapons we get fortify for 11s each 4s [ hit cannot be evaded ] and we use Molten Shell for additional armour and dmg prevent pool + we use a flask .
I use flask when i feel dangerous, like mino's stacked falling rocks, it gives u some time to run from these circles.
By using Vigilant Strike while its on cooldown we can do additional ignites with our normal hits [ I recommend that on T15's] In T16's we use molten shell each time it breaks, so its skill cast each 1-2s.

~Where comes dps from then?

I assume that You are already well geared boy, and You own

Mechanics of these rings are explained in build guide.
We have to maximize our ignite chance then. I have 54% flat ignite chance. Its 16% more than in build tree probably. You can get it by jewels. They should be maxed in life too ofc. [Don't know how to link em from tree, anyways 7% Max HP + 2/3 % chance for ignite] They are farily cheap, 5c to 20c for each on standard actually.
If You already maximized your ignite chance You have 104-105% chance to ignite at helmet skills. It gets mino and chimera with max 300 ignites in about 15 sec from fight start.
With that amount of ignites we get our dmg up to x2.2 ~ approx [it scales before tree does, sadly]. Anger gives each spell good dmg boost, and each molten shell blows for a fair amount of dmg. While we have 300 ignites and 100% ignite chance on BW / Firestorm , we get Fire Burst from Opal Spectre each ~0.5-1.0s, it hits approx for 15k.

~What about map mods?

You can run any map mod but. Ele ref is annoying, boss is easy cuz you savage hit yourself with fire burst. But some mobs may cause you get injured, if i vaal ele ref i just get 2 more hp flask instead of Atziri's Promise and instant heal one.
Which mod i avoid? 90% chance to avoid status aliments. It means your ignite chance is 90% decreased. 54% -> 5,4 etc. It slows you dps a lot.

~T16's , T15's. What about shaper , atziri , lab?

I'm not Atziri viable. She's ignite proof. I just left a map after dealing 5% dmg to her...
Shaper is not that hard, You just have to avoid lazor and know a basics of his attacks.
If You get 5x HP flask, you can do lab. I just don't. You cannot survive at traps with Vaal Pact.

My notes :
You will die at Chimera a lot, until You get more HP flask with youself [His smoke shrouds]
Until You have less than 10k EHP do not facetank mino for longer than 30s. [4 stacks of falling rocks can snipe You]
Hydra is easy, but she is trying to evade You. You have to follow her and facetank hits with Molten Shell.
I use Kaom's on first phase of malachai to survive, then I switch to normal plate for spark, to kill his hearts from distance.
Twinned bosses are easier. Why? Cuz they give You more things to heal, and 2x 9k Hit is still 2x9K not 1x18K. You won't die while You ignite faster. [CWDT's]
And remember, always move in hard bosses. Avoid 1/2 hits etc, cuz You might get killed by bleed, posion , ignite , anything. [ DoT can take You down to 80% hp and You are already Instakill-able]
My actual gear:
I'm tired a bit, if i miss something or You have questions feel free to PM me in game. [Skomma] or PM here / Forum.
I will try to answer to everyone.
My profile and characters are public, You can check my equipment and tree. [very similar to build one]
Sorry for my english if i've made mistakes. [You can PM me where i did so i'll change it]

Thank you "Kilsum" for posting your gear example!

EDIT: A bit outdated. Watch the clearing video in the "in depth video" section of the guide for footage from each clearing setup.

Just decided to test active BV vs Incinerate vs Spark again, however (this is a big but), I did keep avatar of fire since I can't respec this char without losing my whole total tree respec.

Important note, this is in not way a scientific study, just a quick comparison. I would recommend you all to test for yourself which setup you like the most with tabula, to then decide if you are in doubt.
