Recently made my third character of the league and went with flameslinger, I like your posts cake and your character is min/maxed to hell and back.

Looking to ask some questions about the build.

1: What sort of boss damage can you expect from the build once all the pieces come together and what is the piece that makes everything melt? just all the clusters?

2: Have you considered using a Maxarius timeless jewel over Doryani? with just the armor you are wearing and some physical taken to element conversion it might be a bigger defensive boost then some ES, it's what I plan to do when I can get out of a tabula.

I've considered all other jewels but this one is least greedy of them, in profiles of people that went for example to chaos glory jewel you can see they also had to use clusters with chaos resist and max chaos resist to feel the benefit. Meanwhile it does not protect against PD which is the only issue for witch because of bastion.
Meanwhile this just works of your natural life pool.
Current choice also benefits of shield % from the shadow while chaos one removes all your shield nerfing your ehp in big way.
I gain life and energy shield on kill(which happens all the time as seen on video) While with no large es pool it would go to waste, now i gain both hp and es benefits
>I took back glancing blows to get 75/50 block with potion and take 65% of damage
Now this 65% gets divided to shield and life that includes PD damage So monster that takes 1000dmg hit filters most of time to 350damage and then this damage gets divided to 175 to es and 175 to hp, which i recover instantly on kill.

Now Transcendence is new level of greedy, where Chaos glory makes sense for RF builds that do not have es anyway... Transcendence limits your choice of armor to loreweave and expect you to reach around 30k armor, which is not hard to get on juggernaut but on witch? yeah not happening anytime soon.

You would have to get watcher eye with 3x pd to element, pd to element helm just to break even gaining no ehp in the process.

Meanwhile you can get same 3x pd to element with bastion without transcedence and already benefit from it big way.


If I'm hard to understand it is because it is 8am now and i really should go to sleep :D

I'll make tl;dr

:Transcendence is never worth the investment, especially not in witch part of skill tree
:divine flesh is good only if you insist on using RF and no bastion
:c. soul is least greedy on gear and and works against PD the only downside is chaos damage, for which you simply get some chaos resist(it is rare damage kind so even 0% will keep you alive everywhere outside t8 sirus) and you need chaos resist for divine flesh too, just like you need it for transcendence
All Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield
50% of Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage
50% of Non-Chaos Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield
Armour applies to Fire, Cold and Lightning Damage taken from Hits instead of Physical Damage


Here are all 3 nodes
1. takes care only of element, removes ES
>Need chaos resist, life, ele res
2. takes care of elements, pd does not remove anything
>Need life, chaos resist, ele res
3. takes care of element from HITS, removes 5% max resist of elements
>needs armor,needs life, needs chaos resist, needs ele resist, needs pd taken as element

As you can see as standalone node 3. is worst choice for how hungry it is.

Is it possible to make it work? probably. is it worth it? With the little brain that still works i'd say no. But after i wake up i'd love to hear argument that would change my mind.

Can you please help me with my build progression please. My profile is public. I have stuck into 750k dps, 4300life and 2000 es. Got some curency to invest but dont know where to start from.... I realy want to save my shield since it has - 15 mana reserve and +1 fire gems but.... Ty in advance

PLEASE, any help will be appritiated :)

u got 1.5m damage which is already good enough for everything, just get more ehp and when the time comes +gem levels and better cluster jewels.

You may consider getting Eye of Malice instead of your inward eye and double curse enemy.

If you stand right on top of boss with eye of malice and you manage to for example get him to -30% resist, eye will double it to -60% which improves your single target a lot.

But if you get 2mil dps total from other sources(ring, more gem level on wand and armor) then you will have no need to have better bossing dps.

Your gear overall makes sense and just needs improvements that go the same way just better rolls and more of them.

(edit: actually i m not sure about the damage because for some reason PoB shows a lot of it out of nowhere even for my profile, there was person that knows how to PoB and he said i got 2.4mil dps, but when i import my profile now it shows 3.5mil probably some bug on my side)

Whats your ingame tooltip dmg w/o any flasks and buffs, only with aura?

Is there anyway to work in a explode on kill mechanic that actually works with this build? IE not pyre ect.

Hi! Leveled this build and so far loving it, can clear t16 fast at lv78 with my current gear. I know I need to finish up rounding out my clusters and get a +1 fire shield, but what is the best contributors to single target damage? My clear is awesome but currently my boss damage is abysmal. I figure this is until my upgrades, but I'm also curious if I'm doing anything wrong.

I've been using malachi's artifice with stone golem and minion cold damage on abyssal jewel; I believe it procs since I do see "Weak to Fire" on bosses but I'm unsure if that's also because of my exposure/ignite/flammability

Anyone kind enough to look at my gear/tree and tell me a few optimal upgrades with a 10 exalt budget?
