You can change whenever you want, i've leveled with Sunder up to 80~ and with Cyclone from 28~, both are great.

Can't craft aspd on them, 2 res + 1 stat are all suffix.

Are the Abyss jewel mods fire/phys damage to axe attacks equal to just flat fire/physe damage to attacks ?

Yes! To my toon, +6-9 to phys attacks is roughly 11-12% phys damage.

Sorry if I miss something but now that VP has been nerfed and no longer mandatory, how do you have sufficient leech? I did several elemental build with Raider and even with 70%+ dodge and all the leech you took in your build I can never have enough leech like a phys build.

Why are you using Phys Projectile on the Ngamahu when you are taking Avatar of Fire or Xoph? And you don't have a Fireborn gem in the Dueslist area either. Won't all the bonus be halved with AoF?

Ngamahu's converts 50% of physical to fire damage, then avatar of fire converts the other 50% to fire.

e: Got myself a Bronn's and 6S5L'd it for cheap, but man the correct colours are hard to roll. Do I remember that there is an easier way to colour sockets than chrome spamming?

Vorici 1b is the best way to get optimal gem setup

First of all: Thanks for the build.

Actually, i can just use one curse, Enfeeble or flammability. You wrote, that enfeeble is better in maps and flammability for boss fights.
But doesnt bosses deal more damage and enfeeble should be used to not get oneshoted?
Why should i do more damage to bosses if i die to them because of no enfeeble ?

If i got a good item with +1 curses on enemies the question is irrelevant, but for now its kinda important :)

First off nice build and guide. I just wanted to see if anyone has taken the Cremation/Volatile Dead farther into the end game. I prefer that setup over the original setup, just more entertaing to me. If POB is correct though the original setup does have better DPS overall by a fair bit. I just wanted to see how it was doing later on. I Prefer Volatile dead over cremation because it seeks out mobs, and with this I haven't taken Point Blank node yet. With cremation you are also constantly recasting it as you continue to kill so I feel like it doesn't have time to do any amount of it's DMG. Thank you again for the build along with the possible different routes to take it.

Man I can never complete uber lab I always die to the traps how do you guys manage those especially the buzzsaws + temporal chains + spikes combo

Yes, it use to be called "Weapon elemental damage support" now its "ELemental Damage with Attack support".

You should look to get flammability whenever possible in the build as well unless youre going for a more sturdier build with the elemental weakness but then don't forget youll need more INT in your build than the build normally runs(avg is like 110-115s vs 155s or so with Ele weakness iirc).

What do you mean by look for flammability? And how exactly do people get tons of armor? >.< getting one shot in uber lab :( only at 1.6k armor and 4k hp atm
PS: Any tips to do vorici quest with this build? what weapon should i put on my weapon swap with which skills?

Your life is very low due to bad life rolls on basically all your off pieces. Need to upgrade gear mate. Enfeeble over ele weakness would help survivability as well. Doing more damage doesn't matter when you can't survive.

Also, you won't be able to run all those uniques. You are hamstringing yourself to using 4 slots that have 0 life on them. Will always have a problem with low life with your current gear choices.

I'm really surprised you have 4k hp with just 27 life from one ring, I have 4k hp with


wtf?

You can increase your DPS if you get the enchantment for your helm that increases flammability's potency(by 30% I think) from Uber labs. Also flammability cost less INT than Elemental weakness does. Whenever you decide to swap to full fire, flammability should be better.

As far as armour goes, you need to get yourself a pair of rare boots(titans) and if possible find some with + Armour %(350-500 armour there). You should look to get some spiked or titan gauntlets as well that will be more armour(200-300+) if you can get one with a +armour% roll even better. Not sure what belt you have, but try to get one with like 300+ armour on it as well. Depending on your rolls you should be pretty close to 3k with that. You should also carry around a granite flask(or Lion's Roar) and you can invest a point into Iron reflexes to get more armour over evasion if you so wish. Having a Wise Oak flask will help you if you feel elemental dmg is hurting too much(good fire pen if fire is your highest elemental in res). As far as swapping out gems, Id probably swap out fire added damage for elemental damage with attacks support gem in the Nga axe.
