Who am I
Spoiler
I am a dude who has been playing and theorycrafting ARPGS way back since diablo 2. I also have the highest rated/most viewed Necromancer build for diablo 3. I like to try and play off meta things that are fun but somehow competitive :


Why This Build?
Spoiler
The moment i saw Incendary Shot and Double shot it reminded me of the super shotgun from DOOM and i absolutely had to make a build around it. Plus i love dot builds so this fits perfectly.

Been Blasting T15 maps with this awesome blend of Chaos Infused Ignite damage


Bear in mind this is early access and i am still theorycrafting, testing and trying multiple interactions with this Ignite based build, There are other great theorycrafters out there and amazing builds and we're all figuring stuff out at the same time, reading the trees and testing.

This guide will be much more intensive and in depth when i've pushed more of its limits and had the time to physically write the guide, mechanics and interactions.




Rotation + How To Play
Spoiler

Rotation =
Gas Grenade to Start Poison Break Armour with Corrosion and apply Bursting Plague.

Permafrost bolts to get a stack of freeze on to allow the Chaotic Freeze gem to work on Contagion.

Incendiary Rounds to consume the freeze proc, Blow up the poison clouds and start everything rolling by proccing your Cast On Ignite gems, your chaos damage from the Blackflame ring and your Herald. ALL your ignites become Chaos.





Gems and Setup

Spoiler


Gas Grenade - Scattershot - Bursting Plague - Corrosion

Permafrost Bolts - Glaciation - ice Bite - Cold Infusion - Double Barrel

Fragmentation Rounds - Envenom -Comorbidity - Deadly Poison

Incendary Shot - Ignition - Frostfire - Fire Infusion - Exploit Weakness - heft

Herald Of Ash - Vitality - Clarity - Magnified Effect

Cast On Ignite - Contagion - Drain Ailments - Chaotic Freeze

Passive Skill Tree



Ascendancy

Spoiler

I would like to thank @itsmelazy for the Contagion idea from her similar Ailment build that uses heavy bleed build ups to go deal massive burst damage.

If you have any thoughts or ideas for the build i would love to hear them in the comments.

Thanks to looking at this build, and being confused at the choice to go for the Overwhelm cluster, i have now learned that two-handed weapon damage nodes also apply to crossbows. For this, i want to thank you.

NO worries dude haha! i figured we need all the damage we can get to proc that Hit Damage to make BIG ailments
Thanks for this build. I've been trying it out.

I have just had Corpsewade boots drop. They apply level 4 decompose when you move, creating extra flammable gas clouds from the corpses.

Probably not useful endgame but helpful for clearing the acts i'm finding.

ooh thats a sick idea, theres also an helmet that auto ignites around you so that might be fun!
Added a mobalytics guide to the build.

I FIGURED OUT AN INSANE COMBINATION THAT CHANGED THE THEORYCRAFT AND POWER OF THE BUILD OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS AND I HAVE NOW BEEN FARMING T15 MAPS AND ENDGAME AND KEEPING UP WITH MY STORMWEAVER FRIEND

This build seems awesome i been struggling to find a crossbow build to use. It seems this build requires that unique to properly function so what would you recommend i do for leveling till i get the unique? Sorry if this is a dumb question im still new to PoE/PoE2 and trying to learn everything haha.
You can totally play it without the ring! It just a big boost.

However the ring is super cheap, like 1 EX so pick up one.

i was using Cracklekeep ignite ring until then!
I've already committed to Witchhunter. Will not having the Gemling Legionnaire affect my ability to use these gems, or will the build simply be less effective?
