My guess: He's doing explosive arrow stacking, and switching to Searing Touch after he's got the fuses stacked. Doedre's or the like (for the 2nd unique item) for 2 curses, maybe?

It's almost certainly centered around crits & fire as burning damage multiplies so well with just a handful of nodes and searing touch. Probably has Concentrated Effect on it, as the explosion damage would be increased multiplicatively by that, and his calculations are probably on a no resist mob, getting cursed by ele weakness and flammability.

Level 20 explosive arrow does a 785 (max) explosion, level 23 (+2 bow gems, +1 gems on a 6L bow) would be something like 1104 per fuse (this was a semi-wild guess, based on how much explosive arrow increases up to level 20, the wiki didn't have any info past 20, so I took an educated guess). A stack of 5 fuses would be 5520, it won't get boosted by weapon elemental damage, though (and a good thing it doesn't!). Concentrated Effect (level 21) = 70% more. Searing Touch has up to 40% increased fire and 70% increased burn damage (which of course is multiplicative with the fire damage, which is why I'd be shocked if he isn't using Searing Touch in a gimmicky way).

Assume 900% crit damage, 80% burning damage from the tree, 150% fire/elemental from tree, Perfect fire roll on Searing Touch.

Ele/fire from tree/Searing Touch first:
5520 * (1 + 1.5 + 0.4)

Then Concentrated Effect's multiplicative effect:
* 1.7

Then the 900% crit multi:
* 9

Degen from level 21 Ele Weakness (-50%) and Flammability (-50%), that doubles the damage.
* 2

(~490k)

Then the burning damage increase from the tree, Searing and the support gem:
* (1 + 0.7 + 0.8 + 0.6)

~1,518,519

Area damage nodes would also boost it (like the ones by Templar and Witch). Just a few more %s in a couple of those areas and you'd be really close to his numbers, though I may already be stretching with a few of those numbers (most notably crit damage), they're definitely not impossible.

Am I close, Lamaen?


EDIT:
Burning only does damage for 1/3rd of the base damage per second, though, forgot to calculate that, so it'd only be ~500k in burning/sec, but you'd want to calculate the explosion damage, as well, which would be about 1 million damage the first second, and about 2.5 million total over the life of the burn (4 seconds). o.O

I think Clive's onto something here...

It seems Lamaen is just looking for some alchemists to make him some wildfire.
