I am having a rough time getting the +3 6L staff. I have a 6L staff and I eevn have a +3 5L staff, but getting 6L and +3 skill staff is expensive or hard to craft. I have been trying to craft the staff using shrieking/deafening essences of rage, but to no avail. suggestions?

Don't sweat it. I went into this league fully expecting to only use a 5L the whole league. In the
little under two weeks I used a 5L +3 staff I was still destroying the white/blue/most rare mobs. The 6L is only for killing some rare enemies with reses etc. faster and map bosses. Just throw fuses into it when you can is what I did. GL!

Ok, Thank you! What gems would you use in the 5L?

btw if you could move the flask you linked for another poster to your main post, so we don't have to remember what page it is on that would be greatly appreciated!

Do you think that the 3 dragons helmet would increase the dps effectively by shocking enemies with this build? Or is it a waste of time?

Hi,

Didn't like Magma Orb when it was released. Recently, I thought using it and came upon your guide and saw the videos. Great work indeed.

I was building a life based magma orb build myself but with different gear. I am yet to acquire the Helmet enchant but so far its been awesome melting stuffs.

My current tooltip DPS with LMP (6L Pledge of Hands) is 98.5k. With Slower projectile tooltip DPS is 143.9K.

I use Orb of storms to proc both Elemental Overload (for 40% more DPS) & MasterMind of Discord (ascendancy Point for additional +25% fire penetration) for full up-time. I also use Anger (for added fire damage), clarity for mana regen (not mandatory if you don't have Enlighten +4 lvl), and dual curse setup of Warlord mark + Flammability. Warlord mark helps me with leech and flammability for more damage multiplier (via +435 fire penetration) resulting in a almost all map mod compatible build.

I also think PoH gives huge benefit for this build over +3 Gem Staff as it also gives 100% increased Mana thus helping us investing less points in Mana nodes. PoH also have built in spell echo thus frees up a gem slot for another DPS gem. As this build does not rely on Ignite, elemental focus is a big DPS boost.
