Any chance that you'll look through the gear stats and such aswell, since now on with the starter gear it says that the strength required is about 191 (with Kaom's heart) and the build only seems to have 114 strength.

So I had Kaom's Heart in there when I was testing out gear early - I don't recommend using that. You need the second 6L for Flame Surge in your Chest to boost this build. I'll be removing Kaom's when I update the next iteration of PoB.

Why the spell echo link on flame surge i dont really know the mechanic

not 100% sure how to use this build. you have arma brand, wave of conviction and flame surge. when should i use each one?

arma brand is your main skill, wave of conviction for exposure debuff and flame surge is just extra dmg on beefy enemies

i used stormbrand with controlled destruction, arcane surge (for easy buff) and a 4th i dont remember...
then i also played around abit with flame surge & incinerate for some fire dmg since we have that from passive tree.

also used herald of thunder for some more dmg aswell

Thx dude !

So I'm probably going to revise gem suggestions, I'm currently using Holy Flame Totem and Flame Wall and it scales really well with the tree. It might not be worth using Storm Brand until you get Armageddon Brand at 28.

I'm gonna try this, its easier, no need to respect, thx !

When you say "Arcane Surge 5/20" in the guide..

Do you mean then I should only level the gem to level 5 of 20?

So, Spell Echo was used with Flame Surge prior to 3.16 for its machine-gun playstyle. With the changes to Flame Surge and the burning ground it now applies, I'll need to see if this is still viable. It may be you just Flame Surge to provide the burning ground and don't necessarily have to cast it continuously. More to come.

By keeping it at level 5 it will always proc when you use Wave of Conviction.

I was not gonna take the new holy conquest mastery thing and was gonna use ignite profileration before the pob update cuz dps seemed good and I thought mana cost was not gonna be a big problem. Do you think without both ignite prof support and mastery clear wouldnt be bad?

I'll probably prefer having the Holy Conquest mastery for clear since we are going with Inspiration, but it may not be needed. We have 7 brands with the other mastery, so it comes down to either placing more brands for clear or Holy Conquest to place fewer brands. Fewer brands that jump around seem more QoL to me.

Hi, running your build atm act 6 its really cool so far, thx for that ! I die a lot tho even with 75% elem res, but i dont have block at all so it should get better later.
Was wondering : what are your thoughts about golems ? I've seen others arma brand build using 3 to 5 golems, why did you choose to not use it ? does it give more tankyness at the cost of less damages ?
