No point to tank anything when you dont have damage to kill/or it takes forever, it doesnt make sense. Only matters if you can kill target fast and quick, but if u cant, doesnt matter if u tank it forever. You can't kill things by tanking them whole life, you have to deal damage.

I've gotta think...you're trolling...right? Like, I cannot fathom how you "have no damage" when I look at your character. Sure, some of your gear choices are suspect, but like, your shield isn't a DPS slot normally anyways.

What I do see:

Gloves are trash. Zero Benefit here. You could be rocking gloves that have implicit Fire DoT Multi and Fire Exposure on hit....

Well, I think I found your problem actually. You have no source of Fire Exposure...You're literally missing out on up to -40-45% Enemy Fire Resistance...This is a HUGE deal for single target since Hexes have massively reduced effectiveness on the big bosses. You're effectively missing an ascendancy node right now.

Boots can roll Faster Ignite and Ignite Duration(elevated)
A rare helmet instead of Viridi's will give you faster ignite and -9% to -12% nearby enemy fire res. Again, you can use the glove slot for the Unearth Setup. You clearly have the currency to afford a pair.

And obviously using a good wand instead of Obliteration would be a massive DPS boost.

Without looking at the numbers in POB, If I had to guess, you'd be able to boost your DPS output by around 100%. Double. You could very "easily" double your damage. Maybe more. Especially if we add in the awakened gems.

EDIT: NVM you have Master of Fire on your large cluster. Somehow I missed that. THAT SAID, it has a small radius, so if you're not right up in the boss's face you won't be applying the debuff. Go for the gloves.

Why is grave intentions allocated on the tree? minion life/chaos res. Do corpses from unearth count as minions?

No, you're only going to take that if you are using an Animate Guardian...which isn't a part of this build? Are you referencing the Phantasmal Cremation build? Answer is the same regardless. It's to bolster the AG if you choose to use one.

Ahhhhhh! ok, forgot about the AG, makes perfect sense now, thank you!

And yes, I just realized I posted this on the wrong build guide, my bad, was looking at both last night.

Hey; if PoB tells me that allocating Glancing Blows is a large negative eHP post, my overall block is too low, right? But without it, the Aegis proc.. is kinda pointless, no?

I'm a little unclear on what you're asking, but if you're following the guide, your overall block is 75/75. You probably haven't included tempest shield and/or the Sanctuary & Mystic Bulwark nodes.

Could use some more divining, but, first recombinator item I made for this build:

You could also make it with delve life/% life, but I figured that would make an expensive process even more fiddly, so went with essence life.

Edit: chaos explosions much more satisfying than physical explosions.

Very nice chest! Can confirm though, chaos pops are very satisfying! :D

Look at the guys build its the craziest mix of cluelessness and money in PoE i have ever seen.

He has a mageblood and ashes of the star but uses a obliteration wand. Like wtf, you can buy a wand/scepter for 50 C thats really good hell even a doryanis would outclass that thing by a mile.

He also uses two curses and herald of ash (which is really just marginal damage boost) something like aspect of the spider would do a lot more. He anointed ash, frost and storm on his amulet even if their are tons of better dps nodes on the tree to anoint... you can buy mageblood but you dont have currency for some decent oils? like I dont get this build or what he wants to accomplish???

He uses two pyre rings... which will literaly brake his clearspeed because their are no corpses to spread ignite around. A bereks would do way better than those two rings...

Why does he use a dorianys fist??? Like is it buggy and adds the lightning damage to DD in PoB? I dont get it.

... and on top of it he uses his mageblood flasks in the rightmost slots so one of his flasks doesnt even work...

I cant believe that this guy trolls I bet he really believes that he knows his shit and theirs just no way he can admit that he is absolutly clues about what he is doing.

He complains about damage on a DD build. Like I had a insanly tanky DD build as starter with melding, doppelganger and divine flesh ect. and I still had over 10 million ignite dps. Its close to impossible to go under double digit million dps if you just scale your unearh gem... this dude is really one of a kind.
