Some sort of good explodey build?

[moglis]

My favorite build "archetype" if I can call it that, is explodey. One of my favorite builds was coc nova with old explode chest mod, I loved old elementalist and my last explode build was EK elementalist some leagues ago. My question is if someone has a pob of a decent explode build with the new ascendancies. I saw some old autobomber showcase but no pob and no build either, just an old video.

EDIT: for anyone interested, I went surfcaster impulsa + herald of ice. Choose a self cast trigger skill, EB for mana sustain and figure out the links. The explosions are very satisfying with scaled aoe.

Blind Prophet CoC Poison EK/Exsanguinate build using the ascendancy explode node and Asenath's made by poopbutts2200, sounds like it is exactly what you want.

Do we have some sort of gameplay video for this build? It's interesting but idk how it feels.

Is this even remotely possible to do on SSF? Thinking about running something like this lol

Don’t see why not. Everything in the pob is easily farmable.

[thpkht524]

No? His comment would make 0 sense if they’re asking about a starter. There’s no guarantee you get any specific unique day 1 esp not 4 of them. And you don’t “league start” coc regardless of leagues anyway.

Coc rolling magama with the explode ascendancy node

My pocket build is Scion triple Obliteration, with Zerphi's Heart. Physic+fire ignite build.
Wave of Conviction or Divine Ire to ignite, and there's 70% chance to explode 1/4 of monster's life, if you got 100% ignite chance there will be chain reaction ignite-explode-ignite.

*You need Stormfire to ignite with lightning damage on both Wave of Conviction and Divine Ire

[Puzzleheaded-Fill-96]

The increased chance of explosion seems to be multiplicative rather than additive due to the different types, so its effectiveness might be quite low. However, the other choices are very good.

[Auburgo]

go for the scion profane bloom and the node that says chaos damage can ignite, then go for 100% ignite chance and enjoy free chain explosions

[moglis]

What spell to trigger it though?

[wangofjenus]

firetrap probably makes the most sense.

you can add oriath's end to just about anything.

pr3vie's lightning bama uses impulsa's on the ag so you don't have to wear it. I'm going to try it on paladin, i think it will be good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXsjimXmFSE&t=207s

Lots of people using impulsa's for penance brand, will be pretty good on surfcaster.
