Which gems should I prioritize getting to 20q?

Question was asked and answered at least 2 times the last 10 pages. Would be nice if some ppl would just read a bit and dont blew up this fred to 1000 pages, so no one will find the usefull pages anymore.

Dont want to be rude, just saying.

Thanks.

Eh, I checked from 307 and couldn't find anything, I went a little further back and found an answer. No offense taken, but you're filling up the thread as much as I am and you didn't even bother answering. So I might as well be the better person and put the answer here and hope it gets added to the FAQ.

Molten Burst:

-Fire Penetration
-Concentrated Effect
-Weapon Elemental Damage
-Elemental Focus
These 4 all give the same % increase in damage to your molten Burst

-Physical Projectile Attack Damage
slightly less than the other 4(its minimal difference to be honest)


Cyclone Damage:
-Elemental Focus
-Weapon Elemental Damage
-Concentrated Effect(boss fights)

These 3 give the same % increase in damage to your cyclone

-Melee support damage
Slightly less than the other 3(also minimal difference)


Herald of Ashe:
Unlike the other gems which only affect their main gem, HoA actually affects both Molten Burst procs and Cyclone. This should probably be your first gem to upgrade unless someone can think of a better reason not to.

What mods should I be looking to get on Watcher's Eye?
Physical Damage Converted to Fire Damage
or
Physical Damage as extra Fire Damage
or
Damage Penetrates % Fire Resistance

For a High budget version, what two mods work best together, as I see it can roll 2 of them.

Its not working with Slayer (Endless Hunger)

It 100% does work with slayer, but a lot of people feel it's just not needed. Take it if you want to, it's only 2 pts away.

Did you take into consideration that the impresence can roll like this too?
Thing about impresence is also you can run enfeeble (safer) with windscream + take a essence worm for additional aura so add in hatred.

Anger hatred flammability enfeeble - impresence + windscream + essence worm
vs
Xoph + titan greaves + opal ring (you could say na to essence worm even above)

No I have to redo the numbers a bit


Edit: have to redo the numbers, hopefully people havent gone out of their way to buy these things up yet.

I have seen a streamer playing phys cyclone, but using the new boots Bubonic Trail which has a skill which triggers blowing up corpses. I presume that scales with the various fire pen and fire damage boots in this build.

Has anyone tried it with this build? I currently use Bronn's because damage and cheaper, but these boots would be cool, and I would use Carcass instead or whatever.

From what I understand it will not work while cycloning, similar to Abberath's Hooves so it will only proc while re-casting enduring cry, blood rage, totem, or leaping.

Uh, also, how do people get used to using potions and skills. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, and I hit the wrong keys. Or sometimes I double tap potions and waste charges. This is especially an issue if I'm in a situation where I can die fast if I stop leaching for that split second.

1 Question,

whats kind of best for endgame : ignite build, life build - or max dmg.?
playing sc...

thanks for help!

Okay so I redid the numbers(was using a higher number value, oops), as far as I can see Anger/watcher's/Impresence is still doing the same damage as Xoph(just slightly less) but this isnt factoring the 10 to 15% damage penetration to fire res. Unfortunately I cant get that to work yet, Im assuming its a PoB thing that needs to be updated(tried to type it out as Xoph's description as well, nothing).

Unfortunately the prices are going up for watcher's eye so doubt it would be an alternative to Xoph. There are a few for 3-5 ex though but they don't have the penetration, that's half the price for Xoph for roughly the same damage, if you can snag one for that, might be worth. YMMV

However if someone with Exalts to burn is looking for something to play with. The build should average more damage against bosses for those who are veteran's at dodging and avoiding damage as you kind of need to get hit by a boss to proc Ash effect from Xoph. Either way the damage is even without considering the damage pen which could swing huge for The Watcher's eye.
