[2.6] Oro's Molten/Flicker Strike Berserker (RIP 3.0)

Passive Tree (30 Passives)

Passive Tree (60 Passives)

Take note of the node in leech near duelist in case it is needed before we finish ascendancy.

Passive Tree (90 Passives)

Make any alterations to the build if you find you are struggling during the levelling process.

For levelling, use a typical clearing skill such as Sunder or Earthquake along with levelling uniques until you can get your Oro's.

PATH OF BUILDING DAMAGE CALCULATIONS

For our melee hit:


For our magma ball projectiles:

Weapon

We use the Oro's Sacrifice two-handed sword for its high fire elemental damage, frenzy charge generation, ignite chance and culling strike against burning enemies.

Using this weapon allows us to spec purely into fire and elemental damage into the tree, allowing for better scaling on our skills and take more meaningful nodes.

We use two separate swords in this set-up which allows us to run potentially two 6L skills with some loadout management.

When socketing and linking these swords, Molten Strike should be the first thing to get a 5/6L as this skill is extremely powerful and the skill responsible for slaying bosses.

When shopping for jewels and prioritizing gear, take note that Molten Strike is more powerful the faster you can attack and the faster you can apply ignites. This means more leech in shorter spans of time and with Taming and Emberwake, much higher damage.

---

Helm

Any helm with high life, resists and increased armour is recommended.

If you are able to get any helmets with enchantments that benefit Molten Strike (in particular the + to projectiles mod) it may be worthwhile to pick those up for extra damage.

---

Chest

We use an Astral Plate to make up for our lack of resistances from using a large amount of Uniques in the build, we look for life rolls, high resists and armour. Strength rolls are also nice but prioritize resists above all else. Since we only use the chest piece for our movement skill and CWDT we do not have to worry about shopping for 5-6 links, which make purchasing a really nice chest armour a lot easier.

---

Gloves

For gloves we look for armour, attack speed and life rolls. Desirable extras if you can find them are strength rolls and add fire to attacks.

---

Boots

Kaom's Roots are hands down the best boots for this build. We benefit from the high life of the boots, we get free Unwavering Stance for stun immunity which saves 2 points on the tree, anti knock-back and (as of Legacy league) immunity to movement slowing effects from everything but tar which is extremely useful against chilling ground and temporal chains as we cannot be slowed to below our base speed which is nice quality of life.

Additionally, obtaining a set with the +1 Frenzy corruption adds to our attack speed and DPS, which is also really nice.

---

Amulet

Xoph's Blood is extremely strong in this build as offers % life, additional life and melee damage through its % strength, 10% fire penetration and increased damage to targets with applied ash from taking hits.

If you cannot afford Xoph's Blood, Ngamahu's Tiki Amulet is also an excellent option that gives us life, substantial fire damage and fire resist. It is also basically free at a pricetag of around 8c at most.

---

Rings

We use Emberwake for its fire resist, fire damage and the more important ignite stacking which allows us to rapidly stack ignites from Molten Strike for ramping damage.

The Taming is what allows Molten Strike to utterly delete everything in the game that can be ignited. With 40% ignite chance from our finished skill tree, Oro's and Emberwake together you can easily exploit the increased elemental damage from stacked ignites through Emberwake.
It is rather possible to get above +250% elemental damage if we are lucky in the landing zones of molten strike and adequate attacks per second.

---

Belt

A good rare leather or heavy belt with high strength and life rolls is useful for increasing our tankiness and we can also fill out our resistances here.

Alternatively, we can also use a fire variant of Doryani's Invitation for added fire damage, strength, cold and lightning resists, armour and added chance to ignite while using flasks to push us up to 50%.

---

Flasks

The Wise Oak Flask is seriously underrated. If you are able to modify your resistances you can unlock the full potential of this flask.

The flask gives damage penetration to the highest uncapped resistance and received damage reduction to the lowest. So if every uncapped resist is the same, we get 20% elemental penetration and 10% elemental damage reduction during its effect.

If you struggle to balance your capped resistances to this degree, you can just make your fire resist the highest for the fire penetration (which is easy with the fire resist we get in this build) and the element you want damage reduction in the lowest.


A max roll elemental Atziri's Promise can offer us valuable chaos resistance, extra damage as chaos and extra life leech.
HOWEVER if Xoph's Blood is equipped this flask no longer functions properly. Alternative flasks can be Dying Sun or another flask of your choice.


Some useful utility flasks for us are the Basalt flask is useful for face-tanking and surviving fights as well as the Granite flask. A Silver flask is also good for added attack and move speed.

Main DPS Setup

Molten Strike Oro's (In order of importance)

Molten Strike - Multistrike - WED - Conc. Effect - Fire Pen. - Faster Attacks

- Using these gems gives us a Molten Strike that attacks extremely rapidly, and has disgusting potency when magma balls are also involved with Conc Effect and Fire Pen. Because of our Wildfire gems even with Conc. Effect we still have some range while retaining damage with the skill.

Flicker Strike Oro's (In order of importance)

Flicker Strike - Melee Splash - Multistrike - WED - Faster Attacks - Fire Pen.

- This gem set-up allows our Flicker Strike to rapidly kill mob-packs with ease and ensures that the AoE hitting of the skill permanently keeps our frenzy charges up for instant resets on the skill as we will ignite everything we hit.

CWDT Setup - located in Chest

CWDT - Molten Shell or Immortal Call - Flammability or Enfeeble

This set-up allows us to automatically apply Flammability for extra fire damage and ignite chance. We also swap this for Enfeeble for excessively rippy maps.
We can also choose between Molten Shell for added damage due to our elemental scaling or Immortal Call for extra survivability.

Mobility Setup - located in Chest

Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Fortify

Mandatory mobility skill to get us in and out of fights, navigate spaces and give us extra durability with fortify application.

Vaal Aura Setup - located in Helmet

Increased Duration - Vaal Haste - Vaal Lightning Trap - Haste or Determination

We use Vaal Haste and Lightning Trap for extra DPS and shock in boss fights and for extra clear speed.

We can choose between either Haste for even more movement and attack speed or Determination for extra armour.

Golem + Extras - located in Gloves

Arctic Armour + Lightning Golem + Ancestral Protector + Enduring Cry

We use AA for extra defense when going ham with Molten Strike, Lightning Golem and Ancestral Protector for added attack speed and Enduring Cry for Endurance charge generation.
