[3.28] - Will of Xoph Infernal Blow Chieftain

After skipping last league, I was very intrigued when I stumbled upon the "Will of" unique rings. While doing some thinking about what damage type could benefit the most from aura effect, I remembered a Neato video from earlier in the league that mentioned Pyrocalst Mine of Sabotage's exposure is scaled by aura effect. From there, I did some digging on poe.ninja and saw someone else with a similar idea using Anger socketed in a helmet crafted with an Essence of Desolation for +6 to the aura. After a long time of fiddling in PoB, I settled on my build and set out to make it. Here is the finished result: https://pobb.in/7RBnS1g3ZEXJ

How it works:

-Stack as much increased fire damage as you can

-Scale big aura effect with it

-Do damage with any fire skill

Pros:

-Screen clearing pops

-Big strike range

-Big damage

-Cool interactions

-Niche gear

Cons:

-Not the tankiest

-Not the best recovery

-Low movement speed(Screams of the Desiccated build)

-Niche gear

Some cool interactions:

-Elegant Hubris for perma endurance charge uptime and ailment immunity

-Fractured Clusters + Refracting Fogs for some giga jewels

-Enmity's Embrace + all the free res from scaling Purity of Fire

-Level 33 Anger

-Negative 71 fire resistance from Pyroclast Mine of Sabotage's exposure

-Negative 76 fire resistance from Blasphemy Flammability

I've spent pretty much my entire time playing this character using Infernal Blow, but there is a "Single Target" swap in the PoB that uses molten strike for ~100mil more DPS. I have a second Cloak of Flame that I swap to just for Ubers.

You can also play this with much more budget gear as well. Up until I had an extremly lucky Blunderbore volatile vaal, I was rocking something like this setup: https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/mirage/character/kable2142-3079/RabidWombat?i=0&search=skills%3DInfernal%2BBlow%26sort%3Ddps&timemachine=week-4 (you can swap the amulet for a Marylene's Fallacy). If you have any questions on the build or how to craft any of the items, I'm happy to answer.
