Work in Progress, will update once Ascendancy goes live

About




This build weakens the resistances of surrounding individuals before unleashing hot fury down their throats, much like what a barista does.

The aim is to maximise all things fire damage and fire resistance penetration to inflict maximum damage way past what is perceived from the tooltip.

We use the Pyre ring to convert all cold damage to fire, which includes Hatred and Taste of Hate, and combines them all to inflict the maximum fire damage possible.

Using a dual curse on hit AoE flicker strike, we combine Elemental Weakness and Flammability to effectively lower enemy resistance by 86%, and makes even the toughest of fire resisted enemies drop down to negative fire resistance. In addition, we use the fire penetration gem to further inflict infernal devastation.

The after effects of the HoA proliferated burn is increased by 130% extra burn damage modifiers, as well as a plethora of elemental and area damage modifiers. All of this damage is piled on top of dual cursed mobs with negative fire resistance.

Defense consists of Iron Reflexes and Unwavering stance, with around 174% increased armour from the tree and the Chieftain node, Tawhoa.

Notes


Flicker cursing


GRBBB

Flicker Strike
Melee Splash
Curse on Hit
Elemental Weakness
Flammability

I use flicker to instantly teleport to within melee range of a target, cursing every mob in the vicinity before immediately unleashing the main attack.





So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death.

Subscribed : Coffee + Barbarian = fun to me, gl with the build :)

Edit : Good job he's not called 'Colon The Barbarian' ... hot coffee down their throats is one thing but used for colonic irrigation makes my eyes water just thinking about it ...
Hey dude im going to follow your build could you update the tree just for starting out pls:) thx
Sorry, i have a few builds that needed updating before i could work in this one. Each of them requiring lab runs so things are a little slow.

I'll get to this asap

Thanks for the update!
I'm currently running sweep on this. I remember old build had cleave and then later ice crash... Wondering how sweep compares since swords got added for sweep.

Also, I'm not really sure what to use for single target.

Looking forward to the update! Thanks again
