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.

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.

You have, right it is not 10M DPS but 1M DPS and thanks for the advice. I understand that build and cluster jewels would probably be more efficient, it's just a matter of personal preference. Personally, I don't really like cluster jewels, but we'll see maybe try it.

Can you show your PoB?, I have 2.8M ignite DPS, thinking on going chaos dmg. Wither with totems w/o expiring sounds insane vs bosses.

I can't make Blackflame ring to work in pob though.

I made one quick change to my build after insta-gibbing myself on lv 83 atziri. One of the rings has -reflected damage which combined with the pantheon and jewel implicits makes me reflect immune. Uber atziri should be deathless now since every other phase was a joke.

Edit: This plan is FUBAR. Divine flesh makes it impossible to get reflect immunity (other than ascendency or CI). 50% of the reflect gets converted to chaos.

Could someone take a look at my build and offer advice on what to change/upgrade? I feel like the toughness is decent, but the dps just doesn't seem all that great:

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated!

Sure, here you go.

This is fully buffed, that is with 15 wither stacks and flasks up. You can also tick "You are Focussed", which makes my ignites twice as long on bosses. My clear setup is on weapon swap (dual Obliteration wands) - it still boasts respectable dps.

I introduce almost daily upgrades, so this is very much a work in progress.

From what I can see from a cursory glance:
1) you didn't take any cluster jewels which are some of the most efficient nodes damage-wise for ignite builds;
2) you only have one damage flask (Atziri's Promise), and there's lots more you can use (Taste of Hate, Sin's Rebirth for example);
3) for some reason you took the Breath of Lightning on the tree - this does almost nothing for you, so for now you can go for Explosive Impact (area of effect is important too!);
4) your annoint, while a decent and safe choice, doesn't help in the damage department - if needed, I'd advise you go for Burning Brutality which is basically the best node for ignites you can take;
5) you weapons are very inefficient: spell damage does nothing for ignites, so scepters or staves should be your go to choices.

Thank you for replying! I'll take a look at all of that. For what its worth, I was following https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/divine-ire-elementalist-build-guide, but maybe that wasn't a great idea...

Yeah. While the guide looks okay as a whole, the gearing section is very weird. A few ideas:

1) Crown of the Tyrant is an offensively-oriented helmet, but it can also have only one socket. For a build this gem-intensive, I don't think that's worth it, especially since Ritual introduced a new helmet base type, a Blizzard Crown, which is better in every aspect that matters.

2) I'm of the opinion the Primordial Chain is only worth it if you invest a lot into that route. That is if you take two other Primordial items (Primordial Eminences are best, I think) and combine them with the Anima Stone jewel: since you'll be using three Primordial items, the Anima Stone will allow you to use another 2 golems, for a staggering total of 9. I've done exactly that and it feels amazing, I dare say.

3) There is no reason to use wands instead of scepters or staves. As I've said, ignites don't benefit from increased spell damage, so this stat is entirely dead. You're looking for a weapon with +1 Spell/Lightning Spell/Physical Spell skills; Gain #% of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage or Gain #% of Physical Damage as Extra Lightning Damage (you're avoiding fire so as not to mess with Elemental Equilibrium); DoT multi or Fire DoT multi; 50%+ increased fire or burning damage; 15%+ increased cast speed. Not necessarily all of them, but something more along those lines:

This is a list of scepters that fulfil most of these requirements.

Another post looking for priorities for upgrades.

Currently have 500 c to play around with. I know the cluster jewels suck. The new staff (4 Ex plus a lucky divine) uppded the damage a lot.

Still getting gibbed in high tier maps. Any advice is welcomed.

Probably will prioritize:
Thread of hope
new clusters (What notables to prioritize?)
New armor maybe? Wondering if Brass Dome may be an option.

So I have been trying to some stuff out, still a lot of room to grow. Take a look - come with improvements =)

ATM - Trying out dev diadem + enlighten for hatred, mal, aspect of spider and flesh and stone.

I die a lot in high tier maps, dmg is fine. Would not build this for HC.

I am grabbing some more cluster jewels and finishing another tree when I get them.
