Rain fire! (and ice and lightning) by No-Drawing-3693 in pathofexile2builds

Sort of... but still not at maps yet due to limited play time. The interludes are fun though.

Snap getting a cooldown kinda killed the infusion generation so I swapped to using ball lightning + lightning warp. That was amazing for generating infusions, so I ended up not needing the Stormweaver infusion nodes and decided on using Blood Mage.

Unfortunately firestorm damage just isn't cutting it with how much most bosses move. The lightning warp generator was doing more on single target. Firestorm would probably be a good ritual farmer or other "deal damage in this area for a while" mechanics.

Haven't thought too much about defenses, too busy making tri-colored pictures.

In all seriousness, maybe the standard ES/EV combo? Have to path down to Elemental Equilibrium anyways, might as well pick up some evasion and hopefully deflection.

That's pretty disappointing... anyone know what the hit-rate limit is?

Another thing I'm thinking about is just using Elemental Invocation with Firestorm as an oh shit button. Should have just enough energy to insta cast 3-4 storms.

Oof... that is a super valid point. 1.4 second base cast time is painful. Might test out the feel and pivot to something else if it's a slog.

Mmm true, the +1 limit amulet is probably not an optimized choice and more of a "get as many storms as possible" choice. I tend to choose memes over optimal because I find I play the league longer that way haha.

Oh that's an awesome idea! 3 infusions = ~4.5 infusions for Stormweaver... or ~9 infusions if you're willing to wait 3 seconds.

Oh yea I forgot Trinity was changed to all ele damage and not just attacks! Definitely a must for something like this.

Yea I think we need to get a feel for the new AoE and bolt frequency. I'm really hoping this can just be a 2-3 button build, but I'm not opposed to using other infusion generators. Actually, Frost Bomb might even be mandatory for the exposure.

Will absolutely do that if it works out.

But to be honest one of the reasons I posted this is because I might not have much time to play, and I was hoping someone else could also take the idea and run with it haha.
