[3.13] Divine Ire Igniter Elementalist | 30 Million Damage Pure Lightning Ignites

So like many I started this league as a DI ignite elementalist in SSF. When it comes to mapping, clear is a breeze. When it comes to end game bossing however My damage feels lackluster, especially when reading through this thread and seeing what you guys are hitting in terms of ignite dps. Any advice in how I could go about adjusting my build would be greatly appreciated. The POB for it is: https://pastebin.com/3UuteMER

I keep seeing POBs with 15% shock with no Vinktar, no skitterbots, no shaper of storms, no vaal lightning trap...

Am i missing a source of guaranteed min shock available to us, or is that 15% just something unrealistic vs any meaningful boss?

(edit: also not shock on block, or shock nearby enemy on focus)

I agree, mapping is great, boss damage is trash. At least you have some decent clusters. I've probably had 40-50 medium clusters, but not a single one with fire. Clusters are definitely the easiest way to juice up damage on ignite.

Anyone give me pointers why my boss damage is trash, and I keep dying so easily?

I did a quick and gritty respec from spellslinger vortex, so I know son eof my gear isn't optimal.

Got divine ire ignite to ~3m dps. Also got 7.1k hp, 3.6k primal aegis, 68% phys dmg reduction, 878 hp regen, ~300+ life leech with flasks active(2 dps, mana, life, and armor), tanked a5 sirus beam. And still got some(alot of) things to upgrade to get better dps(but they are not cheap). Char is 94lvl so still have room for more hp too. And have QoL like stun immunity while channeling, curse immunity on mana flask, full ele conversion so immune to both reflects.

Gear

Do you mind sharing your PoB? Gear looks solid!

Changed gear abit since yesterday and pob does not include lethal pride stats like 4% increased max hp, 40% increased burning damage, ignites you inflict deals damage 10% faster so dps should be higher and hp is 7135 rn.

do u have a new pob?

Sup brotha.



Never take fire DMG as extra, you shouldn't deal FIRE dmg at all, or your damage go to the ground

Here is my Herald variation on this build https://pastebin.com/8F1UsQ9J, without cluster jewels, I don't like them. Maps T14-16 it's ok, but some harder bosses can one-shot you.

* ~10M dps
* 4.7K HP
* 68/27 block chance
* 550 regen / ~500 fire leech / HP on hit

Cost of my gear was around 200c and still on progress.

How do you manage to charge it to 20 stacks during a boss fight?

Might be a small thing, but your overall ignite damage over the entire duration is about 10M. Your actual DPS is slightly above 1 million (or rather 1.5M since you also have exposure coming from the Wave of Conviction). So there you go: not 10M, but 1M.

Unfortunately, cluster jewels are some of the most efficient points there are, especially for ignite builds that suffer from absence of good stuff on the tree. Two full clusters more than double my DPS in addition to providing certain other benefits (ignite prolif, aoe, minion regen, and some other minor stuff). There is really no reason not to use them.
