Introduction:
Скрытый текст
I have always been a fan of walking simulator, have played Death Oath and Righteous Fire but have never try to play HoT Autobomber before. So I decided to try this out this league and trying to min-max the build to see how far I can go. Surprisingly, the damage went very very high despite 3.15 damage nerf. Quite happy with the result.

This is a build showcase and not a buide guide but I am willing to help out if you have any questions.
That is also not theory-craft build, you can see my character in my profile. This is sorta min-maxing, the gears are pretty expensive, be warned. I am also welcome any critic about my build. poe.ninja ranking:

Approaching the end of week 4, managed to get top 1 in term of DPS for bossing.
Overall eHP is also high among DPS rank. It was fun min-maxing HoT autobomber without cheating as much in poeninja. Boss Fight/Maps:

Pros:
+ Insane 45.4m boss DPS with flasks up. + Use Asenath gloves instead of Inpulsa+Storm Gift combo, free body armour slot for furthur customization + Good mapping speed, basically just walk through + Every debuffs are automated + Able to cap Chaos resist depend on you Cons: - Not beginner friendly - Extremely expensive - Survival ability is questionable - Easily die on damage immune monster packs - Effective life against Chaos monster is only 3.8k - It is annoying when the map has a lot of pots and barrels, you HoT will hit them ALL and you aren't able to leech but still taking Lightning damage.

Bossing setup: 6006 total HP(not included Chaos) and 45.4m DPS! https://pastebin.com/8jV2zW3b Note1: If you don't like flasks, DPS can still go up to 27m. Replace Awk. Lightning Pen to Increased Crit Strikes for 100% Crit chance. Note2: Added (average) 15% shock effectiveness as you can see that I managed to shock Shaper in the video above. Mapping setup (Is the enemy a Boss? No): 6206 total HP(not included Chaos) 26.8m DPS with 100% uptime buffs https://pastebin.com/0AkbZKxG Above are Lv100 passive tree. Read Notes in PoB. Ascendancy:

Assassin
As Herald of Thunder is not consider spell and has 0% base crit, the damage scaling is little, so Assassin is one of the best damage source for getting base crit and crit multi. Alternatively, you may go Inquisitor for better survival ability as well as some crit chance from it ascendancy. You can also choose Elementalist if you decided not to go crit route. Bandit & Pantheon:

Bandit: Help Alira, get the best benefits offensively, defensively and QoL!
Pantheon: Arakaali, mainly for the 10% chance to avoid lightning damage, PoB showed that it can avoid lightning damage taken from Storm Secret. Also, I can cap Chaos DoT for my build. Gruthkul, to get the mere 5% physical damage reduction Gears & Links:

Bossing Flasks: (drop Atziri's Promise for Life flask if you are having a hard time surviving) Mapping Flasks:
Explanation:
Possibly the best modifiers out there after Mirror tier. 3 Modifiers to look for are: +level to socketed support gem (must) %increased lightning damage (optional) %crit multi while nearby rare or unique monster (optional) %chance to deal double damage (optional) %chance to deal double damage while focussed (optional) Gem links as shown, but: Increased Crit Strike for Mapping <=> Awk Lightning Pen for bossing. +1 Max Power Charge is a must, best modifier to offer highest damage source. Nearby Enemies Takes +Lightning damage, Global Crit Multi are also nice to have, but you might want to get your resistances elsewhere. But, remember, Chaos resist is very valuable because of low Max Life. Ultimately without Harvest, it's hard to get perfect explicit. For enchantment, this one provides the best DPS against bosses when you combo it with Divergent Purifying Flame. More than twice the damage against 40% HoT damage. Gem links as shown, Storm Brand to trigger HoT storm loop. The other supports are for having easier time trigger Innervate buff. As I am using Asenath gloves to replace Inpulsa+Storm Gift combo, I can replace my body armour with something else. So I decided to pick up these modifiers, they are perfectly balance for both eHP and damage. Against without Harvest, it's hard to get perfect explicit. Gem links as shown, mainly to trigger curses or hexes. Going for 6-links mainly because I want the high level curse gem and extra 10% curse effect from Hextouch. Use Wave of Conviction as trigger because it has bigger AoE and of course the Lightning Exposure. As there is probably nothing good out there beside %Lightning Damage or Metacraft %Damage. I decided to drop damage and get all the resistances here to solve my resistance issue as most of my equipments are unique. This enchantment is possibly the best in term of DPS, it will be triggered by Withering Touch from my gloves' gem. Alternatively, you can go for +AoE on Arcane surge. Everything else are just useless. This is my bossing gloves, this provide the best damage. Not even the rare gloves with 120% damage can beat it. The Sap also help reduced some damage taken, so overall this is quite good. Implicit corruption is just extra bonus for damage. This is mapping gloves, although explosion is not as good as Storm Gift+Inpulsa but it is still usable. Gem links as shown, Cold Snap so that I can trigger chilled ground for Algor Mortis and Sadist for extra 15% ele damage. Withering Touch to trigger belt enchantment. Do note that this will not let you use Dash or Flame Dash, so I've gotten Lightning Warp instead. Divergent Purifying Flame, this is one of the best debuff damage you can get for this build. It also provide Consecrated ground for you to regen, good overall. Best to let them stay at Lv1 for low mana consumption. Decided to go for this boots because it is the only boots that can provide us damage from 1 extra stack of spider web. Not only that, it also provide certain degree of survival ability such as resistances as well as sustainability from 20 ES gained per hit. Although it doesn't look like much, but good overall. If you don't want all of these, you can get whatever you want. Gem links as shown, Immortal Call + Lifetap so that we can have it up 100% of the time as Immortal also help reducing certain degree of lightning damage taken. Lightning Swap, as told it is the only movement skill but well, Leap Slam is also another choice. Do take note that due to low unreserved mana, you might not be able to use it sometime unless you link to Lifetap but then you can't use Immortal Call that well with Less Duration. Or you can just drop Less Duration and get something else. In term of damage, these explicits is probably the best. Life and damage, and possibly resistances if you wanted. Alternatively you can use this although it provides about 40% lesser damage and no eHP but it greatly improve critical strike chance and maximum mana where you might be lacking. Getting Whispers of Doom so that I can use more curses or hexes. Or you can path to Whispers of Doom and anoint Infused if you don't want to get Written in Blood and Jewel sockets. This is the core items as well as build enabler as it can get you into HoT Lightning storm loop. The frequency itself is also the best possible DPS for HoT compare to any other else. The sole purpose is for getting Corrupted Soul for ES for eHP. Since none of the aura can provide damage source for Herald of Thunder, we can use this to basically double the damage. I would say this jewel is a must. FAQs:

Q: How to solve mana issue for CWDT? A: Technically you don't need, the buff and debuff duration is long enough to last until the next trigger. For movement skill, you just have to link with Lifetap support. If you still intended to solve the issue, either you get %reduced Reservation of skill or anoint Battle Rouse Q: How to survive, I died way too many time? A: For Assassin, Mistwalker is your only survival mechanic, otherwise just learn to manually dodge or get high damage to kill them before they hit you. Alternatively, you can try to play Inquisitor for better sustainability. But against one shot, it is probably the same for every HoT build. Q: I don't have enough resistances and attributes. A: You will need to micromanage them in cluster jewel's, you may refer to mine. They are not cheap though. Alternatively, you may need to drop a lot of damage modifiers on your rare gears to make up for them. Последняя редакция: lonedegrim.

Would you be able to add me on discord to discuss some questions I had? Thank you!

" I don't use Discord, you may /whisper me in-game. |

Thanks for your build.
How many ex I have to invest to have half of that DPS? | |
" Assuming you don't care about eHP and resistances, each rare would cost you an awakener orb + base, which is about 4-5 ex each. Both staff and Asenath gloves are about 4-5 ex each. By including those cluster jewels and other small things, I'd estimate the cost to be about 30 ex. Seeing this league has low supply and high demand, this build is definitely be expensive.

" You will be wondered about the Katarina's stuff with that mod rn 75ex and only one at market |
|
Hey am I missing something regarding the number of curses? You have whispers of doom + chest so that makes 3 curses applied, but you have 3 socketed in the chest + asenaths makes 4 right?

" Mapping and bossing using different gloves. |
|
without chance to shock on staff , how often will you shock with storm brand with only chance to shock from inervate and both storm secret ?
| |
" Since I have 100% chance to crit, as long as I my CWDT proc, I am able to shock. You can look at my Shaper fight, I have jot down the timeframe. And my CWDT proc quite often, able to keep shock at 100% uptime. Последняя редакция: lonedegrim. Время: 31 авг. 2021 г., 5:32:51
