Pain Attunment is a really good spot for impossible escape, it lets you ditch the whole right side of the tree

Also if you dont want or cant go the Aegis route because of costs you can always go divine flesh + incandescent heart and the surrender.

Ah, that's a good one too - we gain 7 passive points at the cost of two jewel sockets, even if we take the small nodes like 4% damage recouped as life, or 14% damage if you've consumed a corpse. So I guess it's down to whether you're using the other sockets or not.

I guess that even if you're using all your jewel sockets, you could spend those 7 getting the lower left cluster jewel socket too (4) then adding a large, and trading two of those small passives for, effectively, two large cluster jewel notables (9). (Plus 16% armour gained, 10 dex & 50 int lost, which is actually mildly painful, given the wand I use)

Want to ask which one is correct?

You put 300k in POB,but your calculation on the first page says 140k

I thought the formula is Level X Archer (1.4) X corpse life % increase

How can this formula makes the corpse 300k in POB ?

See the end of this page for life totals at each level.

So in my case, the unearth gem says "spawns corpses with level 90", then 5 from the hat, so my base life is 133k. Then with 79 quality, 158% max life, then 20 more from the tree, so 178% life.

133 * 2.78 = 370k.

Edit: oh, and it's * 2.78 rather than 1.78 because 10% increased maximum life means * 1.10, so 178% increased maximum is 2.78

Oh I see, i thought this is the page for the corpse life

That explains why my POB has so little damage XD

I think I spent like 10-15ex just trying to get some semblance of a build going, and I failed miserably haha.


Ignite deals around 3.3m sirus DPS, with very scuffed gear

what should I do from here, do I just go back to desecrate? bench it until I can afford empower 4 and enlighten 4?

+3 or +4 gloves, watcher's eye, quality (and level) on DPS support links seem the best places to start.

I think you should get the following before starting:

Single target : Phan Unearth, +3/4 gloves, helmet enchant

Clear: cluster jewel (Fan of flames)/ bereks ring, explosion chest

Defense: Aegis shield

Getting the above should be able to start mapping

I also suggest using grace instead of malevolence if you feel squishy in mapping!

Then you get the weapon, watchers eye, amulet, elevated boot and helm ignite, synth rings, +5 gloves.

This build starts to feels very good once you invest 30-50 ex + , super tanky, insane clear, good dps. But before that, I think you will have a better time with desecrate.

Hi! I am a bit confused about your choice of different cluster jewels with various skills (I have seen 3 variations in your pastebin links). Which combination is the ultimate or at least is the best for damage (I don't mind clearing speed - it's ok for me, I want more single target damage)?

I broadly agree, though I don't think you need explosion & fan the flames. It's nice to have, but as single target matters more than in the past, I'd rather spend my money in that direction instead of cleaer.
