Isn't combustion on frenzy useless? Kind of the same as combustion with arcane surge/flame surge, it doesn't proc. (Flame surge can't ignite and frenzy can't either if you have ancestral bond)

The creator of PoB confirmed with GGG a while ago that combustion only applies the -resistance if the source of the active ignite is linked to combustion. The active ignite will always be the strongest one, so EA will always be the source of ignite and -resistance from combustion would never apply.

Wasn't that a bug that was fixed in 3.20.something ? (i'm not an expert at all, but i think i read something like that doing research : at some point would only work on larger ign, so meh, but was due to a bug and got fixed at some point so any ignite works.)

I mostly just do mapping, so the headhunter is pretty massive boost during it. I'll look into the lighting spire tonight, I was planning to mess around with my chestpiece.

Was also looking into trying to use blasphemy with flammability and think of I can get a level 4 enhance I can make it work, or get a charm with reduction.

I'm planning to take farsight next, halfway to 95 atm

What about the clusters didn't you understand? Ill be able to look at the pob you linked in about an hour

You're right, figures cause I didn't play 3.20. Honestly it seemed more logical to not work since it's essentially a support gem that works when it's not even linked.

Any reason why it would be bad to put blood rage on left click? Just thought about it and removes the ability to have to keep clicking it

Blood rage lasts 10.8 seconds at lvl 20, not including Malevolence or skill effect duration, and refreshes on kill. Is there a reason you can't cast it once at the beginning of a map and keep it up the entire time? All it takes is killing a single mob at least once every 10-14 seconds. Personally, I like enduring cry on left click because I'm real lazy when it comes to multiple key press builds and it works well enough for me.

Hi guys, I made a ton of improvements and now I'm not getting anywhere close to dying in T16 maps, but I'm still nowhere strong enough to do juiced up maps.

I'd like to do Uber Elder + Maven eventually-- is my build still far too weak at the moment? I'm looking to blow through all my divines and upgrade my gear. I still haven't unlocked my 3rd charm slot, but will be doing that soon.

How are you guys surviving in juiced up T16 maps? What's wrong with my survivability/damage? I'd like to get tanky enough to hit level 100 this league if possible!

At the moment, I think my next purchase will be an enlighten gem

Tried to improve your build there, modifying tree, some items, some gems/links, added an aura (and didn't really understand the boots). I hope there's enough mana left, it's possible to de-level precision a bit more, i hope it's enough : https://pobb.in/Y1OFQbQ_bYXv

About level 100, i dont know how hard it is to level from 5 ways now (they nerfed it since 3.21 i think), but it's the best way to get there.
Considering you're 93, I think you can still grab a few levels on your own though.

I'm certain you can do uelder and maven with the "upgraded pob" i've linked (unless mana issues). Maven is really mostly about knowing the fight.

Yeah not sure blood rage on your movement click would be that great (especially if you don't wanna use it for some reason (modifiers etc).
Rarely have to keep refreshing it unless alt-tabbing a lot... :D

I prefer enduring cry as a panic button because of the small delay on it*, but i don't have cwdt linked to my guard skill, so that's the skill on my movement click.

*also used to have a divergent one to help with cast time, but tbh i didn't realize it was gone before writing this.

Could i get a review out of this? Honestly it is my first time ever making it this far with a build and with the game in general, always fell when trying to reach the pinnacle bosses and i dunno if i am ready for the uber ones.

https://pobb.in/Afqq_6LdJg5d

I would start with trying uber cortex to see how it feels. Unless he gets nasty modifiers, you should be fine imho.

(before going in against an uber, remove that rain of splinters - and put something that doesnt reduce your output instead, but i guess you're quite aware of that..

Interesting take on the shaper of flames, i didn't know about that :o
Nice build !

Why thank you! Yeah, i tried to get more output for my damage but every other ascendancy passive's jewel was quite expensive.... except shaper of flames, lol. Got them for a div, so that freed up some space for shock.

I also missed something serious when I took a quick look.
Just want to point out that your helmet (Eye of malice), although helping with mana reservation, does about nothing else on its own unless you're very very close to the boss.
So unless you're staying close to melee range from bosses at all times, don't count on the "Nearby Enemies have 50% increased Fire and Cold Resistances Line.

Hello everyone.

I have followed this build to some extend, and got some info from other sources.

And I would like to ask if you guys see anything glaring upgrades I have missed? So like an audit if you will,

https://pobb.in/wOl9PzHknn9O

This is my POB, I think my gear is okay. I am level 97. Im not so good at the POB thing, I dont know if all the settings are okay.

Im looking for some advise, where could I squeeze out some more damage, or some more survability, I have around 100div currently.

Maybe I missed some obvious upgrades? I have another jewel with double AS + Fire dot multi that I switch for single target dps, with the rain of splinters.
