Pure Fire Build Idea

This is a very synergistic build that focuses on fire damage only. Chieftain ascendancy obviously.

Prophecy league adds a couple of uniques that makes this build better.
Ngamahu Tiki - 70% fire damage
The Signal Fire - 35% extra fire damage

So I was thikning of using:
Lioneye's Glare (until Reach of the Council coz it's to OP)
Lioneye's Fall
Lioneye's Vision (coz 25% more free damage)

Use a fire bow skill like Burning Arrow or Blast Rain. This converts 50% phys to fire and The Signal Fire converts 50% phys to fire. So now we have 100% fire conversion.

On top of this we get extra fire damage:
Added fire - 44%
HoA - 15%
Signal Fire - 35%
Chieftain - 20%
Total of 114% extra fire damage

Next we get from the passive tree 314% inc. Phys and 154% inc Fire damage(amulet included) and 43% inc Attack Speed.

This sounds like good damage scaling.

On top of that we have fire penetration.
FirePen Gem - 37%
Cheftain - 10%
Lava Lash - 8%
Total of 55% Fire Penetration.

Then we should have pretty good life pool 6k+ and about 1k life regen per second(if using Kaom's Way).

All this seem to come together pretty well.

The skills used are not very good for AoE (BA or BR)

=============================

The thing is that I might just do regular crit bow Elementalist and do more damage and better ignites.


Any thoughts if this build is really good or just viable with crap clear speed.

Sounds pretty good to me.

Note that Fire Damage bonuses double dip on Ignite, meaning that you can consider Ignite as dealing 20*2.54 = 50.8% of one of your Hit as Burning per second for 4 seconds, instead of 20%. Not too shabby, IMO - that's comparable to about 83% as strong as a Bleeding effect against a moving target assuming the (Bleeding) build only dealt Physical damage.

I had an Infernal Blow build that ran four curses; temp chains, Enfeeble, ele weakness, Flammability. With around 40% increased curse effectiveness it was definitely swimming in the deeps.

Might want to consider something similar. In fact I think ignites double dip off the projectile weakness damage bonus as well, you could possibly turn it into a penta-curse setup.

If you are doing a pure firs, LHS fire bow build, you can grab avatar of fire, and then you don't have to use bruning arrow or blast rain. For eg you could use tornado shot, rain of arrows, split arrow, barrage etc...
