Goddess Unleashed good for burning build?

"

TLDR 2. If you don't test the sword, in every way, then you have no right to whine/complain/insult it, as numbers alone are not now, nor have they ever been, the only measure of viablity in POE, or any quality ARPG.

Maths are the only way of measurement, otherwise it's an opinion. We cannot measure opinions nor feelings but we try.

I tell you, the dps of this sword is subpar, it removes your shield, it sucks your life harder than a chinese enterprise. Use TGS instead, for the goddess' sake. Cheaper, no degen, more crit, burning faster.

"

...Maps only go up so high, so frankly if I can only solo those, I'd still call it viable. IF. That's still an IF.

Yes but no, here it's not the fault of sword, it's the fault of your "build idea", 3500 hp is just too short to survive properly with a low dps weapon.

Because some monsters strike very hard. 4000 physical damage, you will end one shooted.

Big skelly + totem aura crit + boss crit or phys damage mult... = You are wrecked if you do not dodge or eva.

Also physical spells will kill you very fast. And elemental spells are easier to survive with 5000 hp than 3500 ...

Thoses are my tentatives to make a build with TGU. Yeah yeah i know they use too many points, reduce the trees if you want

played with two 6L and ancestral protector.

Either BoR or Lightning coil + abyssus.

Or hyrri's ire?


I didnt pick acro nodes... it's good but.. difficult to get everything ;)

problem with double strike, you divide ignite by two :/

Oh well, let's use three dragon instead! Here is the solution, say bye bye to ignite, hello shock. ... 3d... = no bor/abyssus q_q

Yeah, blood dance legacy is awesome \o/ the nerfed one is still decent but i'm hearing windscream's potential screamiiiiiiiiing.

I'd like to mention one of my first instincts was to use Emberwake with TGU. That way you make full use of the increased ignite duration, which acts like a more damage multiplier when DoTs are stackable.

The only wrench in that line of thinking is that TGU incentivizes stacking as much flat physical damage as possible, and thus screams Abyssus, but with Emberwake the massive bonus crit multiplier on Abyssus gets wasted.

Otherwise, you could scale Ignite like poison, with double dipping fun, plus you benefit from physical damage increases on initial hit. It would be tricky to balance, for sure, but sounds fun to experiment with.

This is a cool idea, but as you say has some pitfalls. Another thing is that it is hard to actually benefit from 'double dipping' using ele damage, since you can't use elemental focus. You'd have to stack ele dmg and fire dmg on the tree. Things like melee dmg, Phys damage and attack dmg will help, but it won't double-dip

plus longer duration means more damage over long term but ... 4 second is already too much if you ask me ;P

the duration is 5.32 with the TGU. Decent for bosses but not for packs :/

with scorned, the duration is 2.7, it provides good burst.

Ignited enemies burn 50% faster with the Goddess Scorned, which means the fire damage per second is raised by 50% and the ignite duration is lowered by 33.3%.[1] To see this, assume an enemy would normally be inflicted with ignite for 100 damage per second over 4.0 seconds. With the Goddess Scorned, the damage per second is raised by 50%, which gives 100 × 1.5 = 150 damage per second. Because the total damage is the same, the new duration of 400 ÷ 150 = 2.7 seconds can be obtained. 2.7 seconds is 33.3% less than 4.0.

Well, we could so something more tricky to get the full power out of this duration.

Rapid decay! but it supports duration active skill gems only!
Dominating blow or viper strike and static strike.

Static strike! There is potential here.

static strike allows shock with a crit setup because of the remaning physical converted to light while keeping the extra fire. It's not doable with tgs because everything is based of 100% damage with shared conversion, and here we are at 100+99% without shared conversion.

It doesnt worth it, rapid decay is not that powerfull especially on a "small" ignite. In the other hand, rapid decay will help static strike, the "gap" between each aoe will be faster by 15% too.

with rapid decay the duration is 4.52, and it grants 20-39% more dot.

Viper strike is decent too, and we can link phys to lightning to it, so rapid decay + poison + burn + shock can work. Problem, 50% "less" physical damage = less poison damage, not effective, but 50% from shock is not bad for burning and more damage per hit means more poison damage.
but wed is not effective on chaos damage! D: And to use ptl + extra fire damage without WED is not right, anyway !


Let's see

viper strike
rapid decay
melee splash
phys to lightning
melee physical
wed? Mult Strike/faster attack? Inc crit chance?added fire?

Very weird... i wonder how the result will be in game.

Tentative of tree for the viper "dumb" test

slayer, so we can swap melee splash with WED. Plus we have onslaught on kill. and faster attack as 6th gem.


So for static strike,

static strike
melee physical
rapid decay
phys to light
wed

increased burning damage if the build has no fire damage increased nodes?
innervate (ONSLAUGHT!!)?
Multi strike? faster attack? Inc aoe?
Inc. crit chance?
added fire damage?

And we can use dyadian dawn belt ! with hatred aura! so we can leeeeeeeech!

but wait, rapid decay reduces duration of shock and freeze too ... Q_Q


Let's just drop the burning idea because the sword has no potential for this?



Wild strike is funnier to use, has an awesome clean speed, and do not need melee splash ;)

with wild strike, you can shock chill burn at once.

Plus you get a bigger burn because of the 50% fire random conversion, so the highest burning damage will be used.

Shock will boost burn.


Best skill gem ever.

wild strike
MPD
MS?
WED
PTL? Inc crit chance?
added fire damage?

I really think perhaps you're all overfocusing on the IGNITE portion, specifically. Fire damage on the sword, plus added fire damage, is the only part I'm concerned with. Ignite is there, it's handy, but I don't expect to require it until the very late end game unless I massively mess up my passive tree.

OK OK, but fire burns!

Goddess Unleashed good for burning build?

it's the thread.

Expensive impatience on my part. But eh, it's still a nice sword. So wurf IMO. You did a nice job designing them, man. Hopefully I can prove your time wasn't wasted soon enough.
