Hello, firstly thank you for your efforts on this archetype, it has been my favorite since 3.06 with Quill rain, theifs torment and survivability via life gain on hit.

It was a blast then, it is a blast now with winter orb activation.


My question is; why use awakened added fire instead of empower?

For my version of a Herald of Agony build Empower support doesn't outperform other supports.

I checked my lvl 100 Mageblood PoB and even if I could afford the exorbitant cost of an Awakened Empower level 5 (minimum 1000 Divine Orbs according to PoE ninja stats)... my level 5/20 Awakened Added Fire support still provides more damage at a cost of 2-3 Divine Orbs.

In fact the Empower 5 only just outperforms my 21/20 Damage on Full Life according to PoB numbers... the damage diff is so insignificant it's not worth consideration.
