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.

Fire damage to spells does NOT apply to corpse explosions. edit: Spell damage % does NOT apply either. You need fire damage %.

Thanks,

What to upgrade next? I tested 80% hunger boss and it felt absolutely shit. an hour to kill it with no bad mods.

Watcher's Eye, Awakened gems, then a large cluster jewel (& thread of hope to gain the passives needed) seems best to me, in that order. I took curse on hit Hands of the High Templar too, but maybe harder to find at a decent cost.

Then you're into the expensive stuff like crafting the wand, ashes of the stars, etc.

I hope that you're exaggerating a bit about the time it took to kill that boss with the gear that you have, otherwise it's a bit demoralizing :,)
I was hoping to solve some of my dps problems with a 6 link, but now I'm not so sure anymore

If it helps, I'm 2.5m detonate dead DPS, 3.5m Vaal. This isn't enough for the true top end, but it's easily enough for T16s, etc.

I don't think I have anything more expensive than phantasmal unearth, though I've got a few ex in a couple of slots.

To get to 20m DPS though, you need to get into the top end Hands of the High Templar, Empower/Enlighten 4, the crafted wand, and Ashes of the Stars.

We can definitely go higher than in the past too, if only because of the higher tier empower/enlightens.

Well, i regret trying this, because seems like you can't play without 999ex investment, absolutely 0 single target dmg. Im not even talking about hard invitations, but shaper/elder guards are unkillable or taking forever to deal with. And how are u supposed to farm currency for build if u have 0 damage when say, you just finished campaign? No offence, maybe im just that bad at the game after all.

Well, you could put Unearth into any pair of gloves that have been unveiled for +2 AOE or +2 Proj and then craft +1 to the other for a +3 level boost on it...That's a pretty significant dps increase. Empower of course would also be good, but more expensive. Aegis Aurora would be massive for your survivability as would 10% of max life as extra max ES on your chest.

Dyadian Dawn only works on attacks.

Flame Surge is 25% more damage

If your plan is to farm currency by killing guardians, the build is indeed not for you.

We can get to 20m+ dps later on, but it requires expensive gear. And it is harder than last league because Aegis Aurora costs more, and Ashes of the Stars costs a LOT more - I bought mine for 60c last league, and now it's 40ex.

However, I'm on 3.4m DD damage & 5m VDD without any of those 40ex items (yet), which is easily enough to do sentinel-empowered T16s, something I've been doing for a few days now.

I made the hat myself, bought the wand for 1ex, the chest for 5ex (cheaper to 6l at the time, but slower), the boots and jewellery for 1ex combined, and the gloves for 3ex.

These are all perfectly acceptable prices for farming T16s, and if you want to do that AND have very high single target damage, there really aren't many builds that can do it.

Oh, I didn't even look at his char. So I'll add my voice - this build works better if if you follow the build guide.

Thought I'd mention for anyone looking at Hands of the High Templar: vulnerability is a good curse, because it deals ignite damage 20% faster. Not sure if it's better than ele weakness or flammability, but it's still nice.

I couldn't even kill sirus with around 50-55ex investment into the build (with current prices), lvl 28 phantasmal unearth. There's alot to upgrade but you know this is ridiculous. Zero damage. Im gonna fully commit and play this one more week, to buy gloves for +2more levels to phantasmal unearth, corpse pact ascendancy and awakened ailments/burning/affliction lvl6 gems, but i doubt i will have enough damage EVEN AFTER THAT for simple stuff in the game, this is just funny. What is this really?
