My question is about wand for this build. Does modifier "Adds # to # Fire Damage (Local)" affect VD and DD spells? Several leagues ago I played icicle mines and the same cold local modifier affected only wand attacks (not icicle projectiles)

zzang, can it be, that Stalwart Command and Precise Commander are not possible together on medium clusters?

You mean since 3.11?

According to PoB those roll on Aura Cluster jewels it still should be possible. But the weightening seems odd. GGG already announced to fix the Cluster Jewel mess:

Spellslinger gem has the following line:

Supported Skills have Added Spell Damage equal to (50-100)% of Damage of Equipped Wand
If two Wands are Equipped, each contributes half as much Added Damage

So that's why the huge local fire dmg roll is so good for damage.


This is an expensive build and you will have to make some trade offs before you have the currency to fully gear it.

Some things to keep in mind / look into before you can afford to go low life.

Cooldown recovery breakpoints for single target dmg. (gem,belt,boots,helm enchant)

Balancing available mana between herald of ash/ 6L VD+DD/ Helm enchant

Build OP recommends starting with a full life build.

There are some interactions in this build that if you just copy pieces of it without understanding the why behind it (barrage&combustion/trigger wand/CDR breakpoints/clusterjewel sustain) you can end up having a less than fun time.

It's not exactly a copy paste POB build and the author doesn't pretend otherwise.

I mean i can see their difference but i'm far from understanding all mechanics (just readed that boss have reduced curse effect) , but i don't understand why so many people running the same gems i do only change on this part.

From what i gathered:

Elemental weakness reduces more fire resist but don't give ignite chance compared to flammability.

No it doesn't. Elemental weakness is 39+5 = 44 and flamability is 44. So they give exactly the same damage but flammability also gives us chance to ignite which is essential.

Nope, thats pretty irrelevant, combustion alone gives 50% chance to ignite, and u do about 8-10 hits per second, so the % ignite is more than enough and not necessary by flamma. On the other hand, ele weak also gives -45 res to cold and lightning, and we usually have few added cold /light damage via secondary mods, which gets boosted like freeze / chills, which I find a lot more desirable than a rather useless increased ignite chance.
