[2.2] Flameblast Solo MF 400 IIR 130IIQ+ SC

Introduction:

Basic idea is to make a build that can clear maps with speed while still having a large amount of mf.
Decided to try out flameblast with the new elementalist ascendency glad to say its way better than I imagined far greater than mf flametotems for solo play.

This is for solo play, so for culling use flametotem with heartbreaker dagger.


Passive Tree:

I like to take a lot of res on the tree so i can run any mf gear.


Damage:

Tooltip is around 3,9k average damage when you factor in how flameblast grows in stages and 100% shock chance from conflux packs quite a punch.

Previously used dual flame totem beserker with 20k per totem wasn't nearly as strong as flameblast in terms of single target and clear speed.


Ascendency:

Elementalist
-Liege of Primordial
-Shaper of Desolation
-Beacon of Ruin

Build will not even function correctly without those ascendency points



Gear:

Wands and scepters do more damage than daggers, but I prefer mobility of whirling blades and the damage is more then enough right now, the radius on Divinarius is quite nice as an option. A rare weapon can get res on it like the one i use.


Dual consuming dark will nullify reflect and the conflux will still cause Chaos damage to ignite which is completely fair and balanced :D




Jewels:
Prioritize life -> res -> fire damage -> cast speed other damage modifier
Rarity can also be an option if you really need more :)

Closing notes:

The clarity level is dependent on how you like use the divination flasks i prefer less regen you make wish to level clarity beyond 12.

I do believe some adjustments to the tree could improve the build but it "just werks"
I use some legacy items to achieve a large IIQ but in a new league just get a lot more IIR than I have, Ventors gamble is also very solid less restricting on the resistances.

If you have questions post them here.

I'm in the process of building an MF char on HC. Is reflect dangerous? What is your Flameblast tooltip dps?

Reflect is quite dangerous, I usually get three stacks then im safe or prolif off other mobs, dual wielding consuming dark is an option you will get an ignite anyway because of conflux and still get the poison as a bonus. For HC I would get more life and Run Arctic Armour.

Take resolute technique for HC 1 crit on a reflect mob and you're tickets unless you go dual Consuming Darks.

Flameblast tooltip is just shy of 4k with a 4L IIQ and IIR but note, that is without shock the dps is a lot higher.

Thanks for the reply. I have a few legacy Consuming Darks on HC so I think I might do a variant with Consuming + Infernal Mantle. I never realized that the Elementalist stuff would still trigger with Chaos damage, hopefully that stays the same.

Thanks again and I would love to see a video if you ever get a chance, cool build :)
