I was playing Impending Doom on Pathfinder, but wanted to see what the EK Ignite hype was about.Rerolled, am at medium approaching high investment, and I feel like I'm missing something. Damage isn't necessarily better than ID, even though at this point it's easily 5 or 6 times more expensive. Of course, explodes and clear are nice but I also fall over to any small breeze, vs gigatanking on my Pathfinder.

here's where I'm at https://pobb.in/pUVxi82IPfl_

Have a Death Rush I swap in for the emberwake for pure mapping, was just testing ember to see if the single target felt better. Added the chaos res nodes for CB immune, was testing dropping life flask for granite but was dying too much to random ground degens. Rares aren't necessarily amazing, but attributes are a real pain in the dick for this, so mostly sorting those and res, and ailment immune with Stormshroud. Initially had suppression, but was dying anyway, so dropped it on gear and tree to try to kill things before they kill me.

Any suggestions that aren't Mageblood/Explody Bow levels of investment to save this? Debating if I should just reroll to Occultist ID for a good middle ground.

Things I've considered:

• Double influence helm - though Gull is a lot of movespeed and some nice defense with shrine nodes.
• Phys convert cold watcher's eye - full ele conversion, can run phys reflect
• Flammability on hit ring - more stats than Death Rush or Emberwake, and can use combustion with hydrosphere

That said, i've PoB'd those things and they're just getting it to 10 or 12m DPS, for likely a lot of investment or loss of QOL.

EDIT: Made some changes based on some of your suggestions, and things I was considering.

Also wasn't aware of the chain setting for Gloomfang. Shuffled some gear and points a bit to fit another Purposeful Harbinger cluster, and Herald of Ice. All together it's now just under 20M and feeling a lot better. Still pretty glass for the content I'm running but the damage feels good.
