Why take Fangs of the Viper for increased Chaos Damage, isn't that pointless and a waste of points? Or where is the chaos dmg coming from? ... Or are the tree's messed up because of the new patch?

Also, Elemental Equilibrium.. Why? Thanks in advance.

Also, thank you very much for the feedback below :)

How does this build compare to Dual Flameblast Totems? Honestly, please. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1809564


This one you are more active while playing. Totems is mostly running in circles.
Also totem build don't use resistance curses. So you lose out on -40 to 50 res on enemies. I don't know how much loss that is.
Go totem if you want a "safer" experience.

Damage wise totem will lose out. If it really matters is up to you.


I suspect that that fang of the viper is taken for dexterity and running speed.

You need some dexterity for some gems.

You use orb of storm (lightning) before flameblast to apply curse. The -50 fire resistance is godlike for 1 point.
Is it ok to pick up mental rapidity and maybe 1-2 other Cast speed nodes and therefore sacrifice some dmg?

Leveling this build is tricky as fucking hell


Use Firestorm. It's boring and slow compared to melee but yeah.
Anybody got any item tips on leveling from 50-70? I feel like I'm doing shit and i die very easily at lvl 55.
I feel like rerolling after seeing the blasphemy nerf though.

I am using Flameblast with Chance To Ignite, Fire Penetration and Ele Prolif. Also start using Orb Of Storm together with Cast On Hit and Flammability, together with the ignite notes on the tree(Breath of Flames and Elementalist) leveling is no problem at all

Just use any 5L with listed gems or Nycta's Lantern with Ignite+Prolification or CD+Faster Casting/iaoe its on you, but i feel like you can easy level with second option, just explosion damage.
P.S. 5L costs 2-4c atm, so just get it and use standart gems with prolif instead of fire pen/iaoe.
What the point to get flask nodes? We dont get much value from flasks, maybe better try to get Fire Walker at 93?

hey guys Im back on PoE since a really long time and im trying this build. noob question: can someone explain to me how elemental overload works with controled destruction? Am I not understanding something? 40% dmg if youve crit in the last 8 seconds but cant crit with controled destruction?


You can crit with controlled destruction. A 100% reduced modifier means your crit chance is halved, not removed. Crits are rare, but that doesn't matter since you're hitting a lot of targets and you only need to crit once every eight seconds.
What do you think of using Shield Charge instead of Flame Dash as the primary movement skill? You grab a lot of MS on the tree and a quicksilver makes it even better. I've been using it and it feels way better, though I'm not sure how much faster it is.
Isn't this item cheaply-nice for this build?
