Anyone have ideas on ways to take this to the next level?
For example: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/v4hohm/nextlevel_crafting_tech_recombinating_corrupted/
This is too expensive for me to even try making. Instead, here are some ideas I've been thinking about.
--- Mana route ---
Dropping Lifetap for Awakened Swift Affliction (might need duration nodes)/Cruelty/Awakened Empower is going to be 24-48% more ignite DPS depending on build! The problem is what you have to sacrifice to get the mana you need.
Something like this is probably going to be in any build that goes this route: .
(20% vs 32-26% flammability is like 1% ignite DPS difference, and using Delve flammability suffix will significantly reduce your cost to craft). You'll need some unreserved mana (Essence of Loathing or maybe drop Defiance Banner)
From here, the easy option is to switch Polaric Devastation for another -cost ring, and use Infernal Cry for the ash. Even without Infernal Cry, the DPS gain is higher than what you lose.
--- Better bow ---
+3 bows are nice because they can be crafted deterministically. With recombinators, you can now make a better bow for potentially less investment.
Without even considering veiled/influenced mods, added lightning damage and % increased elemental damage is stronger than +1 gems. From POB, prefix ranking is: +2 gems > T1 lightning > essence lightning > T2 lightning > T1 % elemental > crafted fire as chaos > T3 lightning > T2 % elemental > +1 gems > crafted fire DOT multi > T1 cold
Also, consider crafting on a synthesized base. (my bow from last league: )
--- Divergent EA ---
People have already mentioned this for QOL mapping. By pushing skill duration and attack speed high enough, my goal is to hit 24 fuses (or more?). So far theory crafting only got me to 21 fuses though... Things I didn't try are Spiritual Command and the attack speed when focuses craft.
--- Auras ---
People already mentioned Malevolence with Divine Blessing. For pinnacle bosses, you can probably drop grace to run Malevolence, and then put Wrath on Divine Blessing.
--- Budget ---
Damage over Time mastery (15% increased skill effect duration) and the Exceptional Performance nodes (likely not needed) are a cheap way to get to 20 fuses before you get enough attack speed.
The Uncompromising node (small armour cluster) is a cheap way to get more reservation efficiency before Enlighten.
--- Other QOL ---
Golem on CWDT feels nice, but if you're running Lifetap, you may not have the sockets for it. You can also put golem on Arcanist Brand, losing cull.
I also saw someone using Daresso's Defiance (increased Onslaught effect) which would be nice for mapping.
People already mentioned Enduring Composure node (small armour cluster).
--- Brass Dome ---
Not worth. You lose a lot of life (which also makes Malevolence/Divine Blessing riskier). It is tankier, but it's probably better to just go Champion for that.

Love to hear what others have found.
Ehm you can get maximal 20 Fuses on a target... on the 20th fuse, the fuses will explode and you will begin again with stacking fuses.
I've played around with divergent EA a couple times and it never feels as good.
If you want to go extreme run divergent bEA with Ashes of the Stars. Problem is you need insane amounts of +duration. I couldn't make it work... But maybe someone can take the idea and run with it.

Hi I'm just mapping at whites (started yellows). Got my first ex-drop in this league. Right now I have something like 1 ex and 30 ch + mb 20ch max from other currency. Could you help me with finding what could be the best idea to buy for it right now? Better bow/quiver, 6L body, anything else. I know my items are bad right now, and that's why I can't find what to upgrade now ><

You can try get 5-6 socket hyri ire body armour its around 20c since u just using auras there no point for links for now. ur bow is way too slow, buy porcupane cards to get short bow 6l and then throw some shrieking essences of dread to make it 100% +2 to gems, keep an eye to not hit add fire dmg on it, u gotta change ur gems in bow tbh, throw away faster attacks and onslaught for something like ignite poli and lifetap, ur gloves need replacement asap, try to get ones with spell suppression life and some res, attack speed u can bench craft if u need to. I think that's it for now for ur budget, later ups will be try to get +1 amu, better boots and quiver, for quiver u looking for damage over time multi and attack speed
I spent like 10-20ex and I'm feeling good at T16 but I want more. (My goal is to kill all ubers)

First I would replace inspiration with a elemental damage with attacks or awakened version of it. better dps outcome. You have flammability on hit on ring so u can drop gem from arcanist brand link, tbh even faster casting is nah there since u mostly just cast it on bosses, also for me frenzy with great multi proj is nah. Not sure why u use clarity u can change arcanist brand for links like: Arcanist brand - lifetap - flame surge - faster casting (?) I personally run here culling or combustion. for frenzy links I use Frenzy - lifetap - flamedash - molten shell. You have overcap spell suppresion u can take out magebane skill point and use it somewhere else, maybe use it in life and flasks nodes next to it, more hp etc. If u care less for hp u can try hyri ire body armour for more dmg output. U need to change implicits on gloves for someting like fire dmg over time and maybe fire exposure. If you get ur links on body armour and level up that enlighten to lv4 u could fit malevolence instead of clarity. If you want to use rain of splinters try to get one with better roll ur have 48% for LESS totem dmg which is bad, aim for 31-35%
