Guys...

ive spend everything i had into this character. i know i can upgrade some things, but now i struggle with early red maps (i was clearing them easily before with my fire spellslinger :( )

conquerer take really really long and i die often in ultimatums :(

is my "dmg" normal for my gear? what should i upgrade next? do i have any mayor mistakes in my build/tree?

guys, please help me. after ive spend so much currency i feel really demotivated because it doesnt do that much dmg as i expected it to be :(

here is my pob btw: https://pastebin.com/nkUxcC1J
or here my character link: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Xeklen/characters

thanks guys



How are you struggling so much? Your gear seems pretty solid for BA at least to the point you shouldn't be struggling...I thought.


Now I'm worried since I was debating on switching to BA later today from KB+firewall. Yet I won't have the cluster jewels you currently have or a 6l bow. I was planning on switching with just 5l bow/bereks/primordial chain and the 2 eminence jewels as well an anima stone.


Will that be fine for early red maps at least while I build up more currency for the cluster jewels?



Any opinions/suggestions on when to switch to BA from firewall+KB players?


It's all a lack of gear... needs another primordial bond on a larger cluster and 2 more fire DOT medium cluster jewels. I wonder if Cremator passive on his existing fire DOT jewel is reducing clear speed as the ignited corpses get destroyed and cannot proliferate via Xoph's, though this wouldn't affect boss encounters.

Flat %fire damage passives on those jewels just aren't good multipliers, that's why Cooked Alive is best or Burning Bright as an alternative. It's worth rolling for those or farming exalts to get the optimal fire DOT jewel. Those are going for 4 exalts which isn't that much more than last league, I paid 3 to 3.5 exalts on average in Ritual for those.

Also he is still on Tabula very late in the league, it should be very affordable to buy a corrupted 6L with the right colors and much more defense, ideally with a high flat life roll and good chaos resist.

Well, good point with the cremator. when i have some spare alts ill try to reroll to something else.

yeah i just got myself a random 6 socket with some life. nearly 5k HP but legions or some harder rares still oneshotting me from time to time..

i had a kosis spawn in a map just 5 minutes ago, and i couldnt kill him in time because the fog was gone already, lol.

yeah i dont know. conquerer takes ALOT of time. cant kill them in a set of flasks. just seems odd, i dont know.
Any way to improve the zoom aspect of this build a little bit?

Hi, i noticed a couple of things. First of all don't compare yourself to op in the regular guide, check instead his budget version for 3.14.

Second, according to pob immolate is more dmg than unbound ailments. Also replace light golem in ring with non proj light skill and add flamewall to your build - when you shoot through it, it adds both a dot and some flat fire.

Third eva base body armor with unwavering stance is a bad idea.

Finally, pls note that this build is weak against chaos - you have a potion and pantheon and thats far from enough, expect to be staggered and machinegunned by vaal serpents and vaal mages.

Great tips!
I crafted enough chaos resistance and while using Atziri's I got +40 Chaos res, really helps.
also good call on the Flamewall, going to be running that instead of WoC

and as mentioned before, yeah, getting stunned was a big issue for me as well, but I got 10% chance to avoid being stunned on my Anima Stone and the 50% from Cinderswallow, and after that it's not really an issue anymore, keep grinding and get that gear upgrade boys

is abberath boots the same as berek's respite ability? wouldn't even be a better choice than berek's respite and equip another good ring, maybe w/ flamability curse on hit?


Can someone answer this please ?

I think someone already did but can't remember which page

It's the same ability but the boots otherwise suck and you are losing a lot of defense, life, move speed, and eventually clearspeed and damage because the min-max BIS item is hunter-influenced boots /w pierce or faster ignites.

Using the boots is really a stop-gap, budget move.
I made the swap from Arma brand as soon as I got 5link nurture on day 2. I had no problem progressing through white/yellow maps and eventually reds, upgrading as I went. Berek's adds a bit to your clear but not a lot to your damage so I would not prioritize this given its current price. Artifice ring gives you huge boss dmg boost for cheap. Next main upgrades I got was a primordial chain ammy and a 5link Hyrri's ire for more dmg. I still havnt bothered with anima stone and im sitting at around ~4mildps. A grey blizzard crown base essence crafted with HP will give you another insane dmg boost.

At the end of the day Immolate is definitely less damage than Unbound Ailments, Immolate adds flat fire against burning enemies whereas Unbound Ailments is a multiplier in addition to more ignite damage. It will scale up with greater ignite damage elsewhere on your gear, not to mention it has an Awakened version with even more damage. Immolate probably does more damage during leveling when the rest of your gear sucks and there's not much to scale off of.

Can't speak for if this is the way to go, but I tweaked the gem setup a bit and I'm feeling really zoomie in T16 maps.

Using Flame dash + Smoke mine with second wind, and Decoy Totem for ultimatums, so far it's really, REALLY great.
Pretty insane clearspeed for not having a headhunter, while having one of the highest boss damages I've had
