[2.0] Lordanar's Incinerate Templar - The Lord Of Fire

"When I finish this, your pathetic mortal world will burn with my vengeance!"
- Ragnaros the Firelord

Greetings fellow adventurers of Wraeclast.
I am Lordanar. Mostly known as a pretty casual World of Warcraft player that is extremely impressed with the mechanics and depths of Path of Exile. Today Im gonna bring you my Incinerate Templar with all the information I have in mind so far.

I. Why Incinerate?
Even tho you can't shotgun anymore, I have the feeling Incinerate is more powerful than ever. I played it back in Rampage with the typical Cybil's Paw - Reflect Immune stuff. Pretty sure some of you know what I am talking about. Anyway - It is powerful. It is a lot of damage and it is pretty safe, extremely fast and efficient (Isn't it the same thing? Nobody knows).

II. The Budget
You can have two versions of my build. A pretty tanky one that can sustain a 5L without problems (No Elreon Jewellery needed). The other one is a little bit more expensive and you need "specific" rare items to make it the best thing ever. Beware: You're not immortal, but insanely hard to kill. (And you do a sh****tload of damage)

III. Achievements with that build so far?
I dont wanna stand myself out or something here, but I'd say I am a pretty experienced Incinerate player, and overall I play and practice my builds a lot before I can go ahead and start a guide. My Templarboy is now 87, he died just once because I didn't know how the Village Ruins Boss worked. I killed the Archer, than the Big-Bad-Beast jumped on me, basically a oneshot. So far I did 2x Poorjoy's without ANY problems. I did the Hall of the Grandmasters with a 5L, also no deaths (even tho it was at the end EXTREMELY close, maybe I got a little lucky. Don't try it If your DPS is mediocre)

2. Leveling Gear
Spoiler

Top: Karui Ward
- Dexterity and Strength for early gems
- Projectile Speed
- Movementspeed
Overall the perfect Item for leveling with Incinerate.


Top: Wanderlust
- Dexterity
- Manareg
- Movementspeed
- Freeze Immune
Nothing to add. Get them.


Top: Abberath's Horn
- Up to 40% Increased Damage with Fire Spells
- Adds Fire Damage to Spells
Dualwield that badass. You will just melt!


Top: Cloak Of Flame
- Huge amount of Fire Resistance
- Huge boost to Physical Damage Reduction
If you hate death's in the early stages of the game, get that beast. Its a Lightning Coil for beginners.


Top: Goldrim
- All Resist
If you play in Warbands I'd definitely not suggest it. It is waaaaay to expensive, but: If you have one, use it. It helps.


Good: Mokou's Embrace
- Fire Damage
- Fire and Cold Resistance
Pretty decent. But with the Wands we have so much damage, it doesn't really matter. I like Coral Rings more for HP. Your choice!


Good: Perandus Blazon
- All Attributes
- Fire Resist
- Quantity
If you need Dexterity/Strength, it is a pretty good option.

We get the big +Strength/Intelligence Nodes together with the first Jewel Socket.
Complete the Fellshrine Ruins in "Normal" Difficulty and pick the "Survival Secrets" Jewel.
It will help you a lot with sustaining Incinerate.

Getting some reduced Mana. More Mana. Liferegeneration. All Resist. Good stuff.

You should get something with Fire Damage and Manaregeneration. Check out my Gear to see what Jewel I am using there.

-Offence-
Remember: Only Incinerate has Quality. I get 30% more Castspeed. 10% from Spell Echo and 10% damage from Fire Penetration. Im also currently 87. 55% more Fire Damage from the Skill Tree is coming! So my DPS can reach like 18k~.


-Defence-



I think I covered everything about the build. If you like it, let me know!
So long,
Lordanar
