Sacrifice Ignite ~ HP Stacking Elementalist 3.22 

This definitely caught my eye as something interesting. Lots to think on & I'm glad you got it working well. All my thoughts: Have you looked into whether or not you are overinvesting into gem level scaling here? I love Replica Dragonfang's Flight or +2 amulets, but much less so on this build. WoC levels only stacks additively with all the flat damage Sacrifice is giving you. Going from level 25 WoC to level 28 is about in line with 400 flat phys to spells (which then becomes ~1300 with WoC's 330% effectiveness). That's almost all you are getting from your amulet slot here. I believe you could explore The Eternal Struggle. You need an Exarch version (i.e. Black Star drop, has a Grand or Exceptional tier Exarch mod and a Lesser or Greater tier Eater mod). Ideal Exarch mod is probably conditional aura effect (presence of unique monster, not presence of pinnacle boss), with universal aura effect coming second. Eater mod needs to not be a life mod but otherwise doesn't really matter. POEDB implies that it works with Utula's Hunger (15% cull doesn't appear life tagged) but this isn't tested in game. You could also look into the Heist amulets that have 2 less mod slots but have 25% universal (stacks with quality) mod magnitudes. They are generally exceptionally good Awakener Orb crafting bases when you don't want life on an item and don't really need rare mods like +gem levels. On Cane - 3 gem levels on Sacrifice Support is about a 7% more multiplier to the damage Sacrifice Support provides. You'd get more from boosting quality further (synthesized weapon with Haku bench explicit mod and the synth quality implicit, at higher budget you could even get a 3-implicit synth weapon with the support quality implicit, the fire DOT multi implicit and a third rubbish mod). I don't think Awakened Added Fire Damage Support pulls its weight and would play around with Cruelty Support instead. Cruelty multiplies the damage coming from Sacrifice Support, AAF doesn't interact with that. (Cruelty doesn't play well with Deadly Ailments and this might force you to downgrade Deadly to Swift, but Swift is at least a serviceable gem if not a great one). AAF may even be less damage than Efficacy at the moment. This change would make your exposure glove implicit even more important. Another option for your chest colouring is forcing 3 blue with the bench once, then using a 'failed' Vorici in Research that's tier 2. I believe that's 75% to turn 3 blue 3 red into what you want. With your defensive CWDT setup, I think I'd rather Steelskin in your narrow use case, unless I'm missing an outright immunity to bleed on your build. Mapping, I think I'd be inclined to try to trade for a bunch of rare fire/lightning two-stones that have dropped already corrupted and that have "Immune to bleed" as a Vaal implicit and go for the Mythic Orb, Respite is tier 3 so should only be about 1 in 15 to hit on a Mythic. An Utula's Hunger with the X% increased damage implicit would be surprisingly good for you as an upgrade here, even if the life roll was a bit lower.

I love that ignite just solves a lot of problems

cool idea , nice workaround the health cost

2:37 Not only no HP, but also no HP Regen, Recoup, Life on Hit, etc. 15:10 40% of Phys Converted to Fire Mastery? Makes it less likely to not get the 25% more, but in terms of DPS it's surprisingly a loss. (removed +5% exposure mastery for it) 16:08 I can recommend Tainted Chromatics. That is how I got my 2G-4B Utulas this league! Took a few tries, but less clicking than the bench. Nice build! Sounds quite comfy as a starter!

This is really cool! Subscribing right away

seems to be really OP to scale increases and reductions to ES recharge and faster start of ES recharge that will apply to life, could be really strong defensive layer

Looks sick

Hello friend do not forget the journey of the body tattoo

I see a Dissolution of the Flesh build, but I don't see where you're getting your immunity to damaging ailments and DoTs (ignite, poison, bleed, corrupted blood as well as burning and caustic ground). Isn't that pretty much a requirement for playing a Dissolution build?

Doesn't ignite dmg scale from the hardest hitting dmg type? If the chaos is the highest the ignite scales from that but if its the fire from the conviction skill the ignite scales from that? Or does the elementalist ignore that and makes the ignite scale from fire and chaos and lightning dmg?

cool take on the sacrifice gem. I also started with that gem playing blade vortex. my character name is ThickWitch if you wanted to take a look.

Beautiful hideout! I just love those tree roots! and what's the cosmetics of the character?

searing touch is only ~ minus 10% dmg

YEP

Have you looked into running vaal arc? I feel like it would be alot better for clear and single target (and probably cheaper on the dragonfangs)

Why not just get 1k+ regen? Also this build can be easily converted into EK, right?

i dont think you need clarity at all if you applyed exposure recently you regenerate 1% of mana / sec should give you more manareg then your lvl 3 clarity^^. but if you got 8% dmg/ aua on you from mastery i would still use the aura for that.

does %fire damage, %elemental damage etc. work with the chaos damage part of the ignite?

which hideout is that

why not empower? it would be plus 6 lvls
