A question regarding crafting the helmet:

So as a first step I need elevated faster ignites on the helmet itself, and -12% resistances on the other helmet I am mrging it with.

To get there I need a second influence modifier for the orb of dominance. What is the most efficient way to get there? Just Alt spam for the influence modifier you want, then augment/Regal and hope one of them is an influence modifier. Back to alt spam if it is not?

Speaking of that helmet ...

How close is 'nearby' in that 'nearby enemies have -12% fire resistance' affix? At first glance it looks to me like I never want to voluntarily put myself into a position to benefit from that buff ...

Hey. Took a look, here are a few ideas to begin with, and mid long term investment too :

- Get ignite proliferation implicit on your gloves so you can swap your gem for elemental damage with attacks (requires red socket instead of blue though)
- Get awakened burning damage instead of regular one. Cost seems to be 80c for a level 5 gem. Same with Deadly Ailments ! (Awakened ele damage may cost too much for now, you'll get it later)
- Anoint watchtowers on your amulet, even if you keep herbalism for the moment, that's 5 points you can use to allocate more damage, maybe Dirty Techniques on the bottom side of the tree.
- Don't use rain of splinters for now, it reduces your damage and you already have ignite proliferation for clearing. Replace it with a more useful jewel but don't buy an expensive one.
- Keep levelling your bow gems ((ballista totem...) and add quality where needed
- Get a devoto's devotion helmet with +15% explosive arrow enchant (i still use mine for mapping even though i have an expensive double elevated blizzard crown, so I can promise it will be useful in the long run. Prices vary, sometimes 50c, sometimes 100c... Cheap investment, more dps, more speed, more chaos res.

Mid term :
- Buy unnatural instinct, you'll need it later anyway (2-2.5d) Will grant you all the small avatar of the hunt + gladiator's perseverance nodes AND points to reallocate somewhere else.*
- *Maybe into jewel sockets to get rare jewels with good stats for the build, but not things that will cost too much though.

Long term :

Work on making a nice crucible tree for your next bow :
- +1 to bow/dex gems
- lifetap
- +32 to fire damage over time multiplier/...
- aspect of the eagle/avatar of the hunt...
Lifetap node is very important as it allows you to socket Empower instead of Lifetap.
There's something like 40-45% more dps to get from a crucible + full crafted bow. (easiest one being on pages 290-291 of the guide, may cost something like 10-12 div to craft from scratch).

Remove all nodes on the right side of Elemental Equilibrium to reallocate/get cluster jewel setup (take a look at our characters to get some ideas).

More jewel sockets on the tree : a nice lethal pride, a nice watcher's eye, maybe impossible escape...

PS : I just realized you are not spell suppression capped.
At least take the reflexes node for 2 points, that will be 14% more. You want the value to be 100%, either from items, from tree...
And/or you can also get atziri's steps boots for now. You're overcapped in elemental resists and they are really cheap. You're lookint at 20-26% spell suppression from them instead of your current 13 on boots.
