Could you maybe add in something that lets you see the tree as you progress? Like a 10 point version, 20 points, 40 points, etc? So we know how we should be moving through the tree rather than just the end goal?

Hey!

I love the idea of only Scorching based build, but this guide is a bit lazy. There is 2 different trees and not even explained. Gear and leveling the build is not explained. No videos or even PoB links. I really want to try an only Scorching character, but not even sure to worth spend a time to try your build, because it's so simple and half-done. Please if you think it serious then fix this stuffs and everyone gonna love your build. I say this with full respect, I know it should be lot of time to theorycrafting a working build, but the guide is not perfect yet :)

You will find two version of skill tree bellow, one focusing on mitigating physical damage (the first one), and the other one that sacrifices a bit of damage for even more survivability.

We also want as much dexterity on our gear as we can get, so we can level up Faster Attacks. I don't consider it a luxury because it's fairly easy to get. It's up to you if you want to start the build there and just use it to farm up some currency, but if you want to upgrade it even further it's more than possible.

Depending on do you want more damage or survivability , you can either go for Kaom's Heart first or Chaos version of Impresence so you can dual curse. At that point you also want to get either Windscream or Doedre's Damning for +1 to curses.

If you have currency to blow, +1 Impresence can also work. The Formless Inferno is also a great option that further helps mitigate our physical damage taken. 2 socket Tombfist is something I got just because I had currency to blow. Watcher's Eye with physical damage taken as fire while affected by Purity of Fire is also great, however I didn't really feel like blowing 10 ex on a jewel so I just got a random one that prevents ignite and burning ground.

You can also use another item as an offhand: instead of RotP, you can use Magna Eclipsis which is pretty okay, or Lioneye's Remorse which makes our clear a bit slower but gives as a lot more defenses. Another good option is Doryani's Catalist for more damage, in which case you replace Shield Charge with Leap Slam.
