Phantasmal Unearth will scale much better with investment though. But it IS an investment. Ah ok, havent touched Spectre's in years so will grab that tonight and make the transition in the tabula for now. Although you want to summon the spectre with a level 20 summon spectre so that its highest possible level right? Would summoning it with minion life support boost it more or does that not trickle down into DD's calculations? Can be a level 1 spectre gem. The corpses are scaled by Desecrate Gem level and the area level of the zone you are in when you cast desecrate. Ah cool, thx for the advice, gonna be switching over tonight then and working on my links	Posted by Brian9824#5074 on May 16, 2022, 11:06:05 AM Quote this Post

Best bet is to save for an Aegis Aurora. You could alternatively get a life on block shield in the meantime. Should help, though not as good...it'd be cheaper though.

Hello, may I ask why in your PoB you use Awakened Burning Damage over Cruelty? It looks like Cruelty gives more ignite damage. Thanks!	Posted by Soulder#5394 on May 17, 2022, 5:08:59 AM Quote this Post
I looked at cruelty vs. ignite proliferation half way down this page, but didn't think to check existing supports. The TLDR is that cruelty is only better when your detonate dead HITS are a reasonably high percentage of mob life. Notice in my post I don't think about resists, so you're normally going lower than I thought.

Need help upping dps against single target bosses like t16 maven'd + sentinel'd ones or pinnacle bosses. What upgrade would help most in that regard?	Posted by MillenniumDH#1300 on May 17, 2022, 10:40:56 AM Quote this Post
Ultimately, to do T16 boss with maven, and particularly actual pinnacle bosses, you need better gear probably all round. At least phantasmal unearth, assuming you don't have that. Doing t16s before phantasmal is slow and frustrating, I just did one so I could get the favoured map slot. Otherwise - you want 20/20 DPS gems, or ideally awakened gems. You can probably get a better wand. I got mine via weighted search - DOT multi is worth about 3x burning/fire damage, and of course +1 phys gems is also very good. But I think it's going to be something of a struggle for you for a while, as you've gone maximum defence from what I saw on my fairly brief check. Maybe you can go max DPS via cluster jewels, and swap back into something else later on?

Something else to make the dps bearable until Phantasmal Unearth? Gear upgrade-wise. Are gem choices optimal?

Oh, I didn't understand properly. I leave it to someone else, I went straight into unearth. But at the least, you'll want to get to 20/20 gems whatever you do.	Posted by NoImagination#6952 on May 17, 2022, 11:15:08 AM Quote this Post
So I can't find this anywhere. Does added x to x fire damage to spells apply to the ignite damage over time? I'm looking at a super pricy wand with it and I'm not sure if spell damage 50% is better. \]	Posted by cheelos#2846 on May 17, 2022, 7:04:39 PM Quote this Post
