[3.10] 🐉 Dragon's Breath Elementalist - Incinerate

Decided to use this as Flashback league starter, never played anything like this, every league starter I previously used just fell off but not this, it just kept ramping up with every gear upgrade I got. Did Shaper deathless, the damage is insane.

Worst drop possible pepehands.



It does get a bit rippy in Nexus, where there's like 9 million projectiles flying at you and that's where a CI occultist or Trickster would probably fare better, or Winter Orb for that matter but this build is definitely top tier and just feels so satisfying to play.

Oh and I also highly recommend swapping Inc. Aoe and Conc for bosses, Inc Aoe actually make maps feel a lot safer because you can kill the whole screen so there's less projectiles flying at you, of course you can take Lunaris instead of Brine King for Pantheon as well.

Follow-up, Uber Elder down! Took 5 portals because I'm bad at the game.

Really enjoying this build!

Made a short video of strand tier 2 clear. Did it 10 min after Kitava went down.

Gear not optimized at all, my resists are around 25 on each.

Saw the video, you are living on the edge with those res at 25% xD
Non the less starter works like a charm ;)

Wow you are rly doing great. Nice set of items so early.
Right now you are around ~2mil Shaper dps. If you want to push it take a look at page 63 where i reply to the exile 4rgument. He made a crafted synthesized staff and his build pushes up to 8 million Shaper dps! xD

For projectiles only thing that comes to my mind now is upgrading Lunaris. :/

Increased Area of Effect gem is certainly recommended for mapping and gives large coverage and a distance between you and mobs. It's written in the gem links section.

Congrats on killing the UE so early!! wow dude :D

hello, this build looks like tons of fun and im trying to make myself :)

but i have a little problem for some reason my warlord's mark curse is not working i dont get any endurance charges at all and no life and mana leech

Yeah, you need to connect Warlord's Mark gem with Blasphemy gem and activate aura. To have sufficient mana, use only Herald of Ash and Warlords aura until you can get it on a ring.

Also your Incinerate gems are wrong, no need for Hypothermia now. Look at gems section in the guide.

im using faster casting instead of Hypothermia and i have the ring with the warlords mark on hit curse but it still dont work for me

im on standard using my char named My_Witch_Is_A_Biatch

turns out that im a idiot guess all those epileptic seizures has taken its toll on my brain :P it was because i were thinking it was incinerate that was supposed to prog the warlords mark curse, but then i found that it was the orb of storms

and now it all works perfectly :)

Everything was fine, i see the standard char now. You dont need to cast Orb of Storms to leech via Warlords mark. It's working thru Incinerate fine its just mobs die too fast so you cant see that curse mark over them. Otherwise it wouldnt work even with Orb of Storms. Orb of Storms is there just for easier proc of Elemental Overload.

Thank your for this build and the support you have given to it.

This thread saved me from quitting the game (again).

my character's in game age is 1974+ days.. I go all the way back to when there were only 3 acts.. I took a long break (years), came back a couple of months ago

anyways, at around level 70, I was dying all the time, as I was a hybrid with minions and trying to use incinerate, and wasn't progressing.

I found this thread, and with a LOT of Orb of Regrets and around 38ex's, things are dying again, and I'm not, unless I get trigger happy and rush up close and personal to mobs.

Anyways, here is my char, it's not on the level of yours, and needs some tweaking. Jewels are first on the list, and I hate the helmet, but I'm not rich in game, and finding helmets in standard with the Incinerate mod is very difficult / expensive (I'm working on crafting so maybe I can just make my own)

I didn't think I was that far off from your top level gear, but, my DPS numbers are very much lower than yours. The hit points I know are low, I needed the different chest for the resists at the moment, because of my neck

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So nice to hear Dragon's Breath got you back on track! :)

First off, you skipped the big dps node and thats Elemental Overload keystone!
Second, finish the Uber Lab.
Third, general gear upgrades... :)

Cya back when you finish first two things and let me know how the difference feels.

sorry, hit submit too fast..

one other thing, is there any solution for reflect maps?

All I can do now is just quit them and start another

Reroll reflect maps or sell them if they are corrupted.

so, I'm back :)

lost that link, so here's the new one

https://pastebin.com/b086qS77

I had to steal 2 points to activate another gem, trying to get some survivability.. I have a Kaoms as well, it's in the build

Either I truly have no idea how to play, or I am the unluckiest person in game.

Primoredial Blocks - 4 deaths - won
Phoenix - 4 deaths - won, barely
Hydra - 4 deaths - won
Minotaur - 4 deaths - won
Chimera - 3 full attempts, 15 deaths - didn't win

When I take any kind of hit, I'm at 1/2 health instantly. for the chimera, he pops behind me and its insta death. I never got him below 3/4. at 25+ chaos a try, I can't afford it any more until I can actually win

I know I need upgrades, but I'm in standard, everything is so expensive. There is a perfect Watchers Eye out there, guy wants a mirror for it.. yea.. right.. lol

I've gone through 58 sets of fossils trying to make a new helmet following your recipe, none have even come close, either it ends up with no health and 100 mana, or 100 health and 1% fire resist or worse (ilvl 85 base)

I'm currently just trying to Delve my way through lvl 93 for about the 5th time with all these deaths. I plan to do that for 94 as well, that will put back the 2 points I "borrowed" on the tree.

Still love playing the build, but, frustration has set in

If you or anyone has any suggestions (aside from spending 5ex or more, I'm broke from buying chisels, scouring and alchemy), I'd love to hear them.

That's my new setup


https://pastebin.com/x6MixRLx


switched from Anger to Zealotry and also I don't use a warlocksmark ring anymore. The leech from ascendancy is enough and with the -manacost on amulet and ring I have 0 manacost for incinerate.


Path of building can't calculate the effect of the watchers eye for 10% more dmg :( and also the inc dmg on the boots for non-vaalskills. But I think the dps is still ok.

If you have questions feel free to ask
