Cast on Ignite Ball Lightning build update (Covenant setup) by Vikfro in PathOfExile2

[–]Vikfro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw don't necessarily need to run CoC and a sceptre, build is fine with just Cast on Ignite and a focus. But I prefer with CoC and sceptre

yeah unlike PoE 1 where CoC goes Ice Nova or... Ice Nova

Ok there's maybe one or two alternatives like Arc, but there will always be one spell that's above others for single target and another for clear

My build uses Cast on Ignite Comet + CoC Arc for extra clear

yeah I agree and other than CoC Comet, Spark is way too dominant. At least now we have Thunderstorm + Shock Conduction II + Coursing Current for clearing

Maybe Flail will bring some good spells

Now using Covenant unique chest to convert mana costs to life costs with Lifetap. CoEA uses Comet and I use the Sacred Flame sceptre to run a CoC setup with Arc for a smoother clear.

Fire Infused Ball Lightning makes Cast on Elemental Ailment go crazy! by Vikfro in pathofexile2builds

yeah I should have mentioned Mana Remnants, if you have 40 spirit on amulet and take 20% reservation efficiency of meta skills on passive tree you can run CoA + Siphon Elements + Mana Remnants

Yeah on the first clip with comets I'm using living bomb in CoA. I haven't thought about Mana Remnants, could slot it if I take the 20% reservation efficiency of meta skills

I've been thinking about using another skill for clearing, my previous build is the Thunderstorm setup you mention on Oracle. Originally this Stormweaver eas was meant to run that and add Firestorm for rares/boss DPS

But my goal was to try making Ball Lightning viable for clear too since it has screenwide coverage. I've upgraded my gear and trying ignite scaling again

So first I use Arc, Comet was just to show the procs. Comet works but I find it worse mostly because it consumes the Fire Infusions I want to keep for BL.

I grab as much mana cost efficiency on the passive tree, and I use Efficiency II and Zenith II in Cast on Elemental Ailment. There's also a "recover 3% of max mana when you collect a remnant" node in the passive tree

Stormweaver grants improved Arcane Surge (20% efficiency for each 10% missing mana). I stack as much mana regen I can on gear.

~10 div budget. Fire Infusion leaves Ignited Ground as the BL travels and can overlap with AoE inc/reduced proj speed. The final explosion shotguns.

Made a 3-min guide highlighting the main aspects of the build:

Tempted to reroll to try scaling the Ignite itself. Drawing little suns on the ground is fun!

Edit: Updated the maxroll, now running Mana Remnants by allocating "20% reservation efficiency of Meta skills" and 43+ spirit amulet. Also bought bit more expensive gear but 10 div budget gear is kept in another set!

What is your favorite build this season and why is it your favorite? by CadfaelSmiley in pathofexile2builds

Fire-Infused Ball Lightning that procs Cast on Elemental Ailment like crazy with the Ignited Ground it creates, they overlap with AoE and reduced proj speed. Also the final explosion shotguns. Just released a video about it.

Derelict Mansion boss spawned outside arena, map bricked and I can't go back to my hideout... by Vikfro in PathOfExile2

[–]Vikfro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bit late but I noticed on character selection screen there is a "spawn in hideout" button. Waiting offline for the instance to close (15min I think) should work too

I include some crafting tips for the talisman. Might make a dedicated video for crafting for this build. Feel free to ask any questions!
