13. Q&A and potential changes
Spoiler

Q1: I'm super rich and i want to go crit!
A: Buy Carcass Jack +1 skill gems and use fated Blackgleam quiver and Death's Harp bow

Q2: AA is weak while moving!
A: U can use HoI or HoT insead (i will probably do that)

Q3: I have 13 Grand Spectrum ele jewels
A: I think this change will improve dmg but u will lose some survi.. but still it's worth to try it

Q4: What if i cant afford empower lvl3 or lvl4?
A: Empower lvl3 is cheap (50c?) but added fire dmg gem is slightly better than empower lvl2

Q5: I have map with EE and 80% fire res, what to do?
A: This map still will be super easy, 50% fire penetration will do the job

Q6: Controlled destruction takes away 100% crit chance so it's bad gem
A: We dont play crit and gems have always their base crit chance so u cant get lower than base 5%

Q7: I dont like EB + ZO, how can i manage with mana regen?
A: U have to drop AA or HoI and use clarity instead, additionally u have take samo mana, mana regen nodes and u will be fine

Q8: I want to play HC but EB/ZO takes away too much survi ;/
A: GO BM.. I tested it - you lose like 1/5 yr total dmg but you have 7500 hp and 500hp/sec regen


14. UBER Atziri
Spoiler
Vaals are super easy, put 1 totem and 1 trap for each of them, when they pop up again just finish them with vaal haste.
Trio is also very easy: throw trap in ranger boss then place 2 totems near her... it's almost afk fight because of totem's taunt.
During Atziri fight u have to just avoid flameblast... i dont know if storm call kill u because I haven't been hit yet.

Drop:
6 - mask
1 - chest
0 - axe
0 - gloves


15. Guardians of the Void + The Shaper
place totem and go afk ;P

NICEBUILD!
genius :)
Silly question as I am a little bit unfamiliar with certain PoE mechanics.

Does the SWT set up NEED to be in the axe to gain it's benefits (aside from the obvious +1 to STR gems)? or can we use a 6L chest while we wait?

70% extra fire damage and culling strike are global, so you can use 6l chest.

Question to OP: how important is faster casting in a 6l? Have you considered less duration? 20/0% gem (no quality is important) would make totem last 4.14 sec and give 30% more damage, that should also double dip on ignites.
can i use iron will instead of faster spell or Controlled Destruction?
that makes axe 6L should be rrrrbb
Why phys to lightning and not added fire?

So the element conversion goes something like this.

Base: 100% Physical
Avatar of Fire: 50% Fire/50% Phys
Physical to Lightning: 50% Fire/50% Lightning (since PtL converts your base physical damage)
Avatar of Fire: 75% Fire/25% Lightning
Call of the Bro: 75% Fire/25% Cold (CotB converts the base lightning % which is half of our damage)
Avatar of Fire: 87.5% Fire/12.5% Cold
Pyre: 100% Fire

Avatar of Fire converts at each stage of the conversion. And the conversion takes the base % of the skill that is that damage type before the previous AoF conversion. Which is why Call of the Brotherhood converts 25% of the damage to cold and not just 12.5% and so on.

So you need Phys to Lightning to actually make it 100% fire. Or you run Blackgleam for a crit version. He also said that added fire is better than a lvl 2 empower in that 6-link.
I added 3:30 atziri nobrainer run,

my laptop is very bad and it's hard to record a video because of huge lag.

(I stopped playing poe when I posted this build but I hope SWT will get some love next patch)
