That build looks fun ^^

A few ideas / observations :
- molten shell in CWDT may be an issue: when the shell explodes, it deal fire damage which will trigger EE, so it might be really lower your burning damage, which will probably happen in boss fight for example
- why not immortal call instead, since you generate endurance charge using enduring cry
- A witchfire brew could also be usefull: you wouldn't need despair as curse in your link, and as the flask create a smoke cloud, you are less likely to be hit
- you can also put enfeeble as CWDT trigger, so you are less likely to be blocked in place if you get it for example.

7. Why cold penetration and lower fire resistance? Can't i go fire penetration?

Definitely no. Your hit is mostly cold damage, that's why cold penetration will give you ignite damage but fire penetration no, you don't have any fire damage to penetrate with, an you lower the fire resistance because the damage they receive it's fire damage even if the hit that caused it was cold.

What you are saying is incorrect. Penetration does not increase ignite damage. Penetration only works on hits, and since an ignite is based on the base damage and not the final hit, it will never work on ignite (or any damage over time effects).

However, it did kind of work before the ignite/poison nerf, since the ignite used to be based on your final hit, but like i said that's not the case anymore.

Interesting build though.

penetration itself doesn't work no, but lowering the enemies fire resistance (which is what the FAQ said), does. EE + flammability/elemental weakness will increase ignite damage, as it just lowers the enemies resistance. It's not a form of penetration.

OP clearly claims that cold penetration does increase ignite damage, wich is wrong. This information can misslead new players.

Anyway an update from my own ignite build related to the AG: It's nice for clearing maps in general (done most red tier maps now without much of a problem), but he just dies to easily against the real end game fights. I had to de-summon him at red tier Elder portal phase, as he couldn't out regen the degen.

And he died at Hydra (only guardian I tried) just from the Frostbolts. I might try to see If I can give him more regen somehow and see how it goes.
