There’s no room for it at all but I was thinking today about all the flat damage available from Pyroclast mine of Sabotage aura…

It would probably be a single target only thing. Maybe a gem swap for pinnacle bosses?

Flame Wall also gives a lot of damage. I'm not done testing yet, but...

...here's a word of advice: At some point, one has to stop chasing numbers and enjoy a build for what it is.

Watching that DPS number go higher is easy, but that's not what it's all about. This build needs spells to keep itself going at full casts per second. The moment you influence that too much, the smoothness goes out the window and it will feel janky.

I.e. when I added 12% Elemental Damage Reduction to the build via Pantheon and The Wise Oak, it's very clear (to the trained eye) that the build is on the very edge of becoming "janky", so I can't add more.

Are the enchants on the staff and ring mandatory?
I can't find these with the enchants in poe trade

They are not.

Zealotry is a standalone Aura skill gem you can aquire in Act 3 from Clarissa or Siosa.

Simply don't use the CWDT + Ice Nova setup. Frees up 2 sockets.

Enchants and corruptions are for higher budget, and if you care to invest that much. Higher budget means more flexibility when it comes to certain things, i.e. freeing up sockets for more spells, but none of these are necessary for the basic build to work. It does certainly help when you want to push into higher content, though.

Could you take a look at my character?

Trying to see what I need to do.

List:
Fix Gem Levels
Cap Chaos
Get Armor
Get the Wildwood Sockets

What exactly is the problem?

The first thing I see is that you need a different body armour. Inner Conviction is on the Timeless Jewel that you already own. If you are using it for the Charge generation, use the Mark mastery with Frenzy Charge on hit instead.

And I see you are trying to copy my character, even the ring enchants. :D Those were for Blight, not for the build. XD

You don't have the Power Charge mastery. The Mark mastery is for later, you can always spec into it when you encounter a mob with a lot of regen. Like I did here.

-8 to Mana Cost isn't gonna cut it.

Your Elemental resists aren't perfectly balanced for Wise Oak (32/34/32), so get a Quicksilver instead. Only use that flask when you can afford to do so.

Thank you so much for this build! So much fun been loving it!
Here's some of my gear so far :3

If we give out the chance to Cover Rare or Unique Enemies in Ash for 10 Seconds on Hit property somewhere, could this somehow break our build?, or vice versa, a good damage boost in the form of a 20% increase in received fire damage from enemies and a slowdown their

Nah. I only added that yesterday because some enemies cannot be Culled, and I decided that I wanted more DPS instead. It just adds more eDPS, nothing more.

The Ash debuff from enemies is annoying, but typically won't get you killed. Especially not when stacked against the effective damage reduction (technically % reduced damage taken) from Pantheon and Wise Oak, as all of them are additive stats and mostly cancel each other out, making the 20% increased Fire damage taken an effective 8% (20% - 6% - 6% = 8%).

Perhaps my idea is crazy, but what if we spend literally 4 points and level up the skill of the flask and take away the property there: 25% chance of getting a bottle charge when dealing a critical hit, and since we have a lot of projectiles, as well as hits, doesn’t this property make Are our flasks endless?
Or is this nonsense?

You can do this early on, but no, flasks will only get 1 charge every 100ms, chosen at random if not full, I think. This is shared between all such mods, works the same for my belt, too. Read more here.

Points are crucial, as are sockets. I've gone over the passive tree so many times, I don't think there's any optimization left that better encompasses all the core stats needed. For now, I'd say that's as good as it gets.
