Infernalist Incinerate + Firestorm
I really like channeling builds since D3 (Disintegrate), but from PoE1, over Last Epoch to D4 - they either are not sustainable at endgame (because being stationary gets you killed pretty fast at end-endgame), or are just tedious because you have to relocate all the time, to move out of harms way or to engage ranged mobs. Finally, with WASD-movement, it dosent suck and seems viable (i prefer mouse movment, but for this build WASD is mandatory). And it looks just super cool ... or rather hot ... i guess.
During leveling i had some pacing problems at the end of act 2/(5) (dreadnought) and 3/(6) (past timeline). For the most time i only had +1 or +2 spell levels on gear, and didnt had found the right setup - now i have solved both. So, if you are interested in a viable Incinerate build, or have some insight i dont have - here you go: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/mi6vf0vf Best Feature: it is almost one-shot proof (didnt try pinniacle bosses yet) Some points for discussion: - Incinerate is a odd spell, it dosent "hit" (and yet Considered Casting works), it cant crit and casting speed only effects build-up time and not tick-rate (which is fixed i would assume) - Incinerate is technically ignite/burning and you can socket Elemental Focus and it still does damage, but it dosent register ignite (for the purpose of Cast on Ignite or something like that) anymore - Firestorm is very underwhelming, the only setup that does well is Concentrated Effect + Overabundance + Spell Echo ... but only if you "fix" the duration reduction via skill tree and/or Persistence and use Incinerate/Flameblast while it rains fire - Firestorm is decent on large packs and large bosses, not so much on small ones - compared to other skills/builds most fire spells seem very much undercooked, so in order to make this work i stack Solar Orb + Firestorm + Incinerate while spawnig Raging Spirits and repeat with Firestorm and Incinerate (to deal "good enough" damage) Last edited by Alopex81#5818 on Dec 31, 2024, 6:13:39 AM Last bumped on Dec 31, 2024, 4:22:11 AM

I made some significant changes to the build, finalized itemization and made sure it works to at least up to T16 maps.
To be clear: this is a "passion" build - it is not super strong (except on surviveability), mainly because fire spells are not strong to begin with. This is my 4. character in endgame (Stormweaver/Warbringer/Invoker), and i actually prefer this build, because it just plays nice. It is slower and you have to fight the enemies (instead of insta deleting) - keep that in mind. Last edited by Alopex81#5818 on Dec 31, 2024, 4:24:38 AM
