Yeah its increased single target dmg a lot. Wish we were able to stack ignite tho lol. I'm writing cuz of your other question that i replied earlier about searing touch. I found out there are better staves than searing touch. I dont know 100% of the ignite mechanic so OP should take a look at it but PoB says my new staff is 4-6% better than perfect roll Searing Touch when it comes to initial hit and ignite dps.

I don't understand enough of the pro/cons to work it out, but I'm enjoying the skill at the moment and it suits the theme - I just don't want to chronically break the lovely build of yours I'm working towards. Thanks again! Hi there. By going for a more hit Oriented build with less focus on The ignite dmg we can make use of The herald of ash. Make even bake in thunder if we go for the herald ancendancy point. We would also get more aoe then and that might farm really fast aswell as have a good if not better boss damage. Thanks, I'll have a look tonight but if you have any suggestions on how to do that it'd be ace. :)	Posted by Gretik on Dec 17, 2018, 6:46:14 AM Quote this Post

But if your pob says it's an upgrade then it should be true. Very nice staff indeed. Probably hard to get ahold of though.	Posted by seabazz on Dec 17, 2018, 7:07:30 AM Quote this Post

Sorry for this. During early lategame we changed ascendancy and some of the tree to better fit tier 15+ maps. For you i recommend to get path of building. Import the latest PoB link from the guide. Look at the bottom left where it says default. Press it and choose part 1, 2, or 3 based on how many skillpoints you have. That leveling part is up to date. I removed the recommended big nodes in the leveling section now. Last edited by seabazz on Dec 17, 2018, 8:07:09 AM	Posted by seabazz on Dec 17, 2018, 7:58:37 AM Quote this Post

Cheers, I'll look too but I am still at the "grasping basic concepts stage". Trying to puzzle out for myself why some builds use enfeeble like yours, whilst others go for immortal call/warlord's mark. [Edit] Confused myself more :) Now I am not sure why using flammability doesn't conflict with the defensive curses... I'll get there eventually. [Edit2] Going to play around with socketing herald of thunder in Malachais artifice as I got it last night. :) Last edited by Gretik on Dec 17, 2018, 11:28:13 AM	Posted by Gretik on Dec 17, 2018, 9:36:57 AM Quote this Post
So my damage is great now, but my survivability is a bit sketchy. I didn't intend to get MoM when I did, but I felt like I HAD to have an extra layer of defense. I'm not even 50% satisfied with MoM. Do I need to be running Blasphemy/Enfeeble instead of HoA? Edit - Nevermind lmao. Ripped in an Untainted Paraside, 1 shot by a devourer. Unreal.
