How important would you say ignite is to this build?

ignite IS the build

i understand that, but in my suggestions there were options for a relatively ignite-heavy build, a build somewhat lighter on ignite or a build without ignite, with more passives and gearing going towards spell dmg and cast speed among other things.

I would love to hear from waldgaist that inspired an idea for me, or at least someone else after they've read all my points/options/ideas, whether a viable late and/or endgame character could possibly be made using a couple or several of those modifications.

It's pure theorycrafting atm and it's different to be sure, but there would still be a lot of similarities. If no one thinks a build with less ignite or none at all is viable, i'll take that into consideration. A ignite heavy build is still possible with the scion tho, (but would probably have to use elemental proliferation) though less so because of the ascendancy mainly.

If there is anyone who feel this is the wrong thread to post my ideas, i did it because this build inspired my ideas and it felt like waldgaist and other people here, who have played the build, would have lots of experience with flameblast and may have experimented with other options and somewhat altered builds, and thus would be in a very good position to give me some feedback if so inclined.

I am having a super hard time in breaches with this build. There's so much damage flying around that standing still and casting FB gets me killed everytime.

Hey man, loved your build, I just make a few ajusts for my personal play style <3
I Just didn't understand how you can keep 2 auras and artic armor and still use the flameblast, my mana don't regenerate fast enough to make a lot of pizzas fallowed...

It is possible to go non ignite with Flameblast. You could even go crit. Flameblast has the highest impact damage of all Skills in PoE so you can for sure play it without going for pure ignite dmg :)

Thanks for a somewhat more considered response than the first one i got from that other guy. I knew flameblast was out there, but was unfamiliar to it before i found your guide and it was very interesting. I suspect now that my ideas aren't new so i'm gonna reread your guide and look at scion and witch guide threads, maybe other buildlists to gain some insight.

Briefly, if i may ask. You mentioned -8 mana cost rings from Elreon in response to another post. I've been saving them because i suspected i could use them someday, but what do you do with them crafting wise? Alteration or chaos on them just makes the -8 mod go away right? Do you augment, regal, take what you get and then throw in multiple crafts with Elreon's metacrafting mod maybe?

Hey looks like a really nice build. Trying it out now in the Breach league.
Have one question though.

In case one does not get his hands on a good 6-Link item what gem would you leave out in a 5-Link setup?

Also is Infernal Mantle a good choice for this build?

Thanks in advance.
