I cut a lot of damage including a duration cluster and a conqueror's potency because I was hitting the ignite dps cap and doing 0 damage. When GGG fixes the skill, I will go back.

Impressive, sir.
Could you share 10k life pastpin for research purpose? Reached all the goals in "Everest", so now just flexing my build to make it possible to reach 97-100 lvl. Extremly curious to compare :)
What's minimum gear to kill Sirus fast and not having to play with mechanics of last phase much? Dot multy + WED on quiver, dot multy + focus attack speed, -9% fire res helm? WED on each ring? 6L QR, Kaom's and Quality Dyadawn ofc. Double damage jewels?

Not even using focus for ailment duration damn.
Goddamn the ignite dps cap must be so small compared to the damage we can do because I've been hitting it for such a long time on my character. I went towards the lower right mostly and have been messing around with this build so much because it keeps frustrating me since I kept feeling like I was doing zero damage. Just one or two of my totems basically will let me hit the cap I guess.

Anyone want to do their best to fill out a bug report with some evidence to help GGG? I didn't see it posted in the 'known issues' thread.

Its just my current profile setup. My Timeless Jewel has 24% life on it.

I'd say 15ex invest.

Also yeah on the focus mod, it bricks damage due to the bug. I have this waiting for when GGG fixes. I can do 5.37 times my current damage according to the Ignite Calculator when the cap is removed. That is how much I am gimping myself.

Already did, GGG has been looking into it but no word on a resolution. It is linked in this guide. Its possible that there will be none if the problem is caused by what I suspect due to an impasse of sorts.

Im using the extremely end game setup with Barrage support + awakened GMP, my clear setup is also the endgame setup that no longer uses mirage archer because my ignite so insane now i dont need the extra fuses. What i posted is the standard setup. My current setup is extremely end game (80m+ ignite dps)


but isnt it exhausting to clear with the small cone barrage supp gives?

and when the bow with barrage and gmp is for clear AND single target, what is your swap bow with that setup for?


With +1 quiver and Dying sun + flask quality you have 5 arrows firing for clear. My swap bow/quiver with less duration is my clear bow so things explode quickly, my barrage support+GMP is my boss killing swap so the fuses last a long time and I can stack them quickly with as many arrows as possible. (My single target currently fires 13 arrows at almost 8 1/2 attacks per second for maximum fuses)

Once you get end game gear like I do, you no longer need gmp for a clear skill as your ignite prolif is enough to clear full screens without having to stack 20 fuses on 10 mobs with gmp/mirage archer


i have the +1 arrow and 20% dying sun now. but i have 4 arrows and not 5. did u mean 4 or where am i missing an arrow?

54% flask effect will add +1 arrow, which is a good idea until you hit the DPS cap. I have removed it and 45% duration due to hitting the cap too often.

A question, if you don't hit the cap yet and looking for more dps, is wheel of Avatar of the Hunt not an option? Or is the explosion not considered a dot of the bow attack?
