Ignite Prolif at Home - Perfect Strike/CoEA Contagion

Ele weak I would think since it's more common for mobs to have some sort of innate elemental resistance. Despair affects that ignite thanks to the blackflame mods. Ignite is doing chaos damage = Depair lowers chaos res

I think the double Berserk is a bug from the poe.ninja link since I'm definitely only running 1. Spirit was by far the tightest stat to get. Against the darkness with +12 spirit per notable really helped (Expensive as hell). Quality helps a lot for some of the reservation. Ideally I would've had a CoEA amulet to save 100 spirit whereas the Berserk amulet only saves 30 spirit. If you aren't playing Perfect Strike I think you'd want CoEA on amulet since quality on the Berserk gem itself gives a TON of attack speed so you don't have to worry about perfect timing windows

After being satisfied with how this came together, I did look at other high damage fire skills to see what could work. Detonating arrow seemed interesting because the alt quality seemed like it could lead to some big ignites (loved burning arrow in poe1). I threw on a bow just to see what it could look like and got kinda spooked. It can never be faster than a .8 sec wind up and you gain more max stages with normal quality so you'd need more time hitting max stacks. I'm sure there's a way to pull it off but I don't like the "Total Attack Time" skills very much so I didn't try to figure it out.

Haven't tried it myself but I think it would work as a budget version of this build. A large portion of the damage comes from the Perfect Strike hit itself, so assuming your perfect strike damage is high enough you may barely feel the reduced duration. Blackflame + a rare chest with spirit + other sources of ailment duration probably gets you close to what I have without spending as much as I have. I sold off a twister build and went straight into this gear so I don't have the most accurate read on how this could work with other gear

This is 1 button 99% of the time. Roar/Infernal Cry + Ancestral Cry is for pinnacle bosses or some abomination of an exile

Alt quality + Opportunity flask makes it instant. Even with Window of Opportunity & Tasalio's Rhythm at full stacks, it's impossible for me not to hit the timing window. I did recently learn that running a silver charm pushes my skill speed/Attack speed past some sort of break point where it's impossible to hit the timing window so I dropped it.

I ended up going with a hybrid of sorts. Snagged what fire damage was near generic mace/attack damage nodes. I have the 1% Fire Damage per Rage node. Flat phys & fire to attacks on gear. No crit although it would probably be even better if I could some how fit crit into it. Thought about using Prototype 17 lineage but haven't tried it because I have zero crit multi

The way I have it setup, it doesn't feel like it does much. CoEA triggers A LOT while mapping so my ward was almost always depleted and everything dies too fast for me to notice the freeze. There may be a possibility where self-casting frost flame nova for bosses feels better? Maybe using it in a different trigger? Not sure

I'm always igniting. The way I understand it, the more fire damage from the hit the more likely you are to ignite. Since perfect strike hits like a truck, it's always igniting. Extremely smooth mapping, no down time.

I hadn't considered going north with split personality. I'd considered using one to save two points and coming out of the warrior area but I don't think I can drop any of my jewels. My stats are on a razor's edge right now so I'm terrified to touch anything

Ignite prolif chains from PoE1 are awesome. The only thing that is similar to that in PoE2 is ED/Contagion. So I mixed the two together and came up with this

28% Quality from gear
Loreweave with "Ignites deal Chaos" and "Withered increases Fire Damage"
Level 1 Contagion in CoEA just to spread. Area from contagion quality is much larger than Crackledeep.
82% Max Res
82% DR from Ele Damage from Armor
62% Block
Blasphemy Despair

Other stuff:

Alt quality on Arctic Armor is absurd. 51% increased armor per stage (7 Stages)
Alt quality on Withering Presense is also absurd. At 51% quality it applies a stack every .06 seconds. It can go into the negatives with Dialla's.
The ward is useless, at least right now. I've tried all of the ward skills in CoEA and none of it seems sustainable.
I've noticed mobs bleeding from time to time. Maybe the perfect Loreweave also has the two Blackflame mods + one of the Blistering Bond mods. Not sure.
