For those of you wondering why most are taking hypothermia as the 6th link.

39% increased damage is a huge increase. Clip of me explaining why Hypothermia is such a big pick up early for it.

While only time will tell what scales better for bossing. Clearing maps and leveling/shaping your atlas and delving. Hypothermia is hard to compete with while gearing. So definitely recommend trying it.

Im not a big fan of Hypothermia.
Why did you ditch out Deadly Aliment for Hypo?
DA gives you 62% More ( lvl 18) with hit and Hypo gives you %37 more VS ONLY chilled enemies.
You can only chill enemy when chilling conflux procs and it is on 10s CRD roration.

Hey man ! Cool idea but the build need some work if you want to call it an Ignite build imho.

Here is your PoB with the max level gems, Pendulum, flasks active and the Shock from Elementalist calculated (check the quicksliver flask) : https://pastebin.com/nEGL7Gwi 119k Shaper ignite DPS (221k vs white mob but it's meaningless, you should always check your single target DPS)

Here is my take on it without denaturing it too much: https://pastebin.com/jEy2JrLj 274k Shaper ignite DPS



The main change are the tree, new uniques, 2 Ascendancy nodes and Elemental Equilibrium. This version also adds immunity to Ignite and Shock.

The build plays pretty much the same way, the only difference is that you cast a Storm Brand on the tougher enemies to proc EE. Another slight difference is that you rely more on the ignite than on the actual hit, you can use Hypothermia instead of Deadly Ailment if you want a harder hitting Brand, the final DPS will be equivalent.

In any case, even if you decide to not follow my advice at least use this flask :

it's super cheap and a direct improvement from a regular Silver Flask.

What about not going to much ignite in your build and go main pure damage?
did smthing like it, correct me if iam wrong but ignite dont stack on enemy?
If so, lets think about dps calc with pob. It calculates only 1 brand attached, but we attach 2, and can recall for more dps
So i think smthing like this will be more dps https://pastebin.com/bzkxwxRH
i am noob so if i am wrong about my thoughts correct me =)
