FireFly life version

Bandits:
HP - skill - skill

Ascendancy Points:

1) shaper of desolation
2) Beacon of ruin
3) Pendulum of destruction
4) personal choice - liege is better for breach bosses - you get elemental immune golem for tanking as well as 80% increased fire damage.



Item Links:
Spoiler



5L realm ender = 6L due to built in cold to fire gem.
5l: HoT - chance to ignite (not mandatory) - fire pen - increased area effect/life leech - added lightning damage/empower (if u can afford one)

4l Abberath's: controlled destruction - added lightning damage - added cold damage - conc effect OR increased area effect

4L gloves: flameblast - fastercasting - controlled destruction - conc effect

helm: 2L lightning warp + lesser duration. 2L blasphemy - flamability





Mechanics:
Lastly, for those who dont understand what is going on, AVATAR of fire only converts 50% of damage to fire, and we lose the other half. To get around this, Call of the brotherhood converts 50% of lightning damage to cold. Lastly, Cold to Fire gem converts the cold damage into fire - working out to almost 100% fire conversion. The Realm Ender staff has a built in Cold to fire gem in it.

Now that we have pure fire damage conversion, there are two skills that make the build function.

1) Herald of Thunder - which activates after killing a shocked enemy. This is the MAIN source of damage for the build.

2) Abberath's Fury - part of the unique boots listed above. This is a small AoE explosion similar to FIRE BURST - and it explodes every step you take. It can apply status ailments and is an easy way to activate Herald of Thunder

Status Ailments are applied using the Shaper of desolation ascendancy and a self cast skill/ Abberath's Hooves. If there are no enemies nearby, than you can use the writhing jar to spawn worms to kill.





Leveling:
Spoiler

1) Abberath's Hooves should carry you easily up to around level 45.

2) Pick up two clayshapers and a +1 or +2 minion skill helmet and use flame golem as well.

4L flame golem - GMP - minion damage - spell echo

3) this will carry you to level 65+ quite easily. That is also when you should have enough fire damage from the skill tree to run HoT.

4) try to pickup leveled gems as soon as possible for the HoT.

If you are doing 100% fire damage, how are you shocking to activate HoT?

Edit: NVM, reading comprehension fail.

How do you maintain your Herald of thunder if HOT has a 6seconds durations and shaper of desolation grants shock only for6 seconds each 14 seconds (leaving 8seconds with no shock) ?

&

Why did you killed all bandits on normal?

You might want to read that again mate!
i have an issue on this spec how the elemental conflux procs cause without it i just die all the time add me in game if needed to discuss
I honestly leveled the build using 2 clayshapers (4L flame golem) until my damage was high enough for ignite to be effective from HoT. However, I did not have the boots until level 60 (which is when I switched). The boots seem to be extremely powerful, especially at lower levels (12???!! DAMN)

Could you add some details what this does?
Casts level 7 Abberath's Fury when equipped
In order to get rid of clearspeed meta cap global movement speed at 100% but make all skills instant so everything feels great.
