Flameblast

Sooo yeah here is a fun char that can win pretty much anything out there.

Some things to note:

It isn't really a budget build, but it can be made on a budget too. You wont be able to 1shot as many opponents as you otherwise could though but it should be fun to play regardless.

There are many setups for gems and I'm currently using the one which in theory should work the best against most opponents. Against no other mitigation except 75 res the average damage with this setup is around 14k pvp damage so it should oneshot everything apart from the pure ES tanks. It is possible to swap bcr+incaoe to conc+cdest which allows you to 1shot way over 20k too.

The build can't exactly be played properly without the helm enchant.

This build would be a lot worse without cwdt + smoke mine.

Cast speed modifier for flameblast is only 180%. It doesn't make much sense to get more of it as it is already extremely fast and getting more cast speed lowers your damage a lot because of the interaction with T-value. 170-190% is a sweet spot for flameblast I feel. Less is too slow and more sacrifices too much damage for only small performance increase.

Cast speed modifier for lwarp is 292% with the normal setup. Honestly it doesn't really matter if you were to use normal ES gloves instead of the essence crafted ones as it already is really fast.

With wise oak online the char has 123 fire pen, 81 cold/light pen (after I swap a thing or two to balance all resists).



The jewels are all 4 stat cast speed, inc dmg, energy shield. I do use Clear Mind and Red Nightmare jewels in most cases though.

How to counter? Be faster and try to get above the 1shot range.

most likely, get some red & green nightmares stack dodge & block,

and yeah get very fast, be able to one shot 7k ES at sight immediately.

third edit: i believe jorge should have mentioned his name somewhere around the guide.

Can confirm, My 17k es guy has been 1shotted by this during testing with Lapiz. Very strong.

And, ya, gotta give jorge/zander some credit here, he's been straight murdering any opponent with his flameblast elementalists since Ascendancy came out.

Yeah of course jorge was the first to play with flameblast.

This is just my take on a flameblast character.

Well conversion amus aren't really that effective against this as I should have 81% pen against fire and cold too.

To be honest now with wise oak it is debatable whether I should skip the fire pen gem entirely and go with controlled destruction or conc instead.

Flameblast has really low benefit from levels compared to other skills, Controlled is still more pure damage than 4 levels

Seems like you are right. Empower 4 is only 39%~ more where as 22 cdest is 46%
Let me point out some details about the build according to the POB page,

X-Y of 10th stage is;

192801 - 291325.

the biggest strength of the build is that, there is no "unexistence" in poe coding.

While you are teleporting, you still exist in game, you can cast spells channeling spells, your cwdt's can proc, your lacerate swings travel with you and so on. but they dont apply while you are "teleporting" everything applies at once at the time you arrive.

you simply teleport the furthest area where the opponent is and cast your flameblast, when you arrive you have some already casted flameblast stacks and most of the time one shot at the moment you arrive.

when shit go dicey, you teleport back with smoke mine + cwdt or manual, STILL while you are teleporting back with smoke mine, your flameblast can apply to that area at the moment when you stop your channeling.

also one more thing,

flameblasters always cast a bit futher than where you are, likely, to your path where you'd run away;

if you are X...0

0 is where flameblaster casts its spell to catch you. so if you dont run away but run to the opposite direction there is a chance that you can dodge the aoe circle.
