Path of Exile 2 Builds - [POE2 EA] CheapBunny's Crit Ignite Detonate Dead Bloodmage | Avatar of Fire

" DivineEssence#2374 написал: I decided to stick with corpse conversation when I got more spirit, why? I discovered just how amazing Archmage is with DD with high crit(45%)/crit dmg(380%+). I only have 1.6k mana but Archmage drastically boosted DD's burst dmg. I almost 4 shot the Trialmaster from the lucky chain crits just from 2 30k health Brutes and now tempted to try it on Sekhemas boss. Just being able to spam DD on bosses without relying on priests is very alluring, even if it's RNG. It's hard to drop, ngl. I'm not going to deny that it's not an efficient sub-build, but I think that's part of the charm of this game being more loose with effective builds. Are you doing my Avatar of Fire + Ignite variant? Because I tested earlier extra damage as lightning actually happens after the fire conversion, so I would think Archmage does nothing for this build?

Yeah. I was confused too. I'm not sure "how" the "extra damage as X damage" is being calculated(seeing the visual effects being applied on cast and on enemies, no other lightning mods on attacks/minions), but I've noticed a difference on juiced maps - no change in gear either. Might be a placebo anyways, as my DD was always knocking chunks of boss HP off with a well placed crit. If it is working, I think the extra dmg is just extra dmg - possibly converted as well. Granted, I should mention that I prioritize burst dmg when utilizing this build, the ignite is just added pain. Последняя редакция: DivineEssence#2374.

Yeah so it means that avatar of fire is applying BEFORE archmage. So because of that, you are only doing fire dmg, so archmage cant proc and add lighting dmg.	Сообщение Legoury#0138 20 янв. 2025 г., 07:54:21 Цитировать это сообщение
Ah, clears that up then. It was a placebo effect. I was doing more burst dmg than I had anticipated and that makes it all the more better.	Сообщение DivineEssence#2374 21 янв. 2025 г., 18:54:04 Цитировать это сообщение
