A build I've been cooking with in torchlight infinite this season.
Maybe now I can stop grinding this and get back to speedgaming. Maybe.
I forgot to show skills, memories, candles. oops.
Relic has Trigger Death by fire on movement skill, memories are 3x Thorny Paradise for base ignite damage.
Candle 1: 20% cdr, 20% aura effect, 55% dmg for Triggered skills.
Candle 2: +1 Curse/Self Trauma, 20% cdr
Current setup is a bit messy as i got Imperial might yesterday, and haven't fully adjusted the build.
I don't recommend this build as I have no clue how it would perform on a budget, and for the amount spent you'd be able to do better.
Undercurrent is a staff that can trigger scorching pulse extremely frequently compared to it's normal cooldown.
Scorching pulse reaps, so I don't need any reaps elsewhere. For the trigger you need a) focus blessings at maximum, and b) take damage.
a. I used to have a candle that generates blessing while standing still. Now I'm just relying on 30% to gain blessings when triggering a skill but it makes starting a new zone awkward sometimes. Once the pulse starts triggering it will sustain your blessings.
B) a candle with "Gains Trauma with 1200 Base Damage upon dealing Physical damage". Frost shield is used to initially trigger this, the self trauma is still your damage so it keeps itself going.
Stuff you need to be aware if you want to replicate this build in some form.
You want to avoid too much generic damage scaling that would make the trauma damage bigger.
You also want to avoid ANY sources of affliction per second, like Precise: Deep Pain. (map mod included) The self trauma will apply it on you and make trauma unsustainable. This is part of the reason why i go for God of Might.
Blazing Fire caps affliction very fast, 1 second by default, AND it seems to be scaled by cooldown recovery which this build heavily invests in. Enemies seem to be at max stacks immediately.
Avoid convert physical damage taken to fire or self trauma + blazing fire will give you affliction again.
Avoid any generic reaps that trigger on dealing DoT damage. It will reap the selftrauma and with reap purification it gets removed, bricking the cast loop.
I tried eternity, and while it seems like trauma damage just snapshots at the start and never changes, if I went through a teleporter in a stage that gives you temporary invulnerability the selftrauma got resnapshotted at much higher dps.
Gemma 3 suffers a lot from the 500B damage limit. Once your brand damage reaches that you are kind of softcapped. Cooldown recovery speed helps only if you have trigger Death by Fire on movement skill. This makes Exquisite box definite best in slot. My box has Defensive skill effect which helps a ton with physical mitigation.
