Keep in mind that chinsol traps work too, really really well. That is not an ignite build. That is a normal dps build. Neither phy or bow damage does anything for ignite damage. | ||

Increasing %phys on the tree affects the ignite damage as it's a conversion, increasing the base damage of the bow (not projectile nodes on the tree) affects the base skill damage, and also affects ignite damage. | ||

Vaal Righteous Fire takes away 30% of your life (which you regen or pot or leech) and gives 39% more spell damage for base of 4s and you can put it into your cwdt+ vaal immortal call+inc duration+vaal RF to get more duration for it. And gives a bit more dps from its own damage while it lasts. | ||

Damaging ailments work by taking the base damage of the skill, then the multipliers associated with the skill and that ailment. It used to work by having the base damage of the skill be affected by all the multipliers, and then that was further multiplied again when the ailment damage was dealt. Spells have a higher base damage then attacks as it's so much easier to affect the base damage for attacks. If it wasn't like this, outside of unique effects, a white bow from act 1 would deal the same ignite dps for burning arrow that brood twine does. As it is, modifiers to the flat phys and fire range affect the burning arrow base damage which ignites are calculated off. And the %phys works because burning arrow is a physical damaging ability converted to fire. | ||

Also, does anyone have any idea about what an acceptable level of ignite dps is to do uber elder? 500k? 1m? I've never really considered it. | ||

I would find the dps level on a standard RF / SR build and compare from there. something like that is about the acceptable amount of dps you'd want I'm a bit unenthusiastic for the new league just for personal reasons... Might make it for beginning of league not sure. Thoughts on the best version of Arc? Hiero totems vs Impulsa Elementalist vs Mines... I think hiero is best for Day 1 but Impulsa clear is busted | ||

I think hiero is best for Day 1 but Impulsa clear is busted I agree with that assessment. Mines are similar to Hiero totems but obviously weaker day1, they would transition into way better bossing. Pls, this league there's actually cool skills to use that we haven't used in a while! Haven't seen lag or gunde write on the last couple pages either, now I'm scared. | ||

* Melee Skelly Summoner * Fire/Lightning Trap Sab * Fireball/Vaal Flameblast Trickster Bit unsure, those are all cool builds to start with. I'm still leaning traps, just in case the summoner levelling is annoying. Trickster plan is solid but a bit more gear dependent? I dno. TIME FOR A ZIGGYD APPROVED BUILD I GUESS. Either way, I'll hang out on TS like an hour before start as usual. Not sure if we'll have a group this time at all, been a bit quiet all around.

It's because the ignite in this case is effectively doing physical based fire damage, so don't think of it as scaling the base damage so much as the ignite itself, via phys damage. Sounds stupid, but that's how it works. Same principle in scaling cold ignites with hrimburn I guess. | ||

Still viable on it though, certainly. Regarding arc, I think there's a real argument for playing traps and shotgunning with cluster traps. | ||

Because the ignite itself is exclusively fire damage, the fact that it "remembers" that the hit was converted from phys seems bizarre. | ||
