Episode 2 - Conflagration

Hey all!

I'm back with another episode of Pocho's Not So Shitty Builds! This time I picked a skill that I thought looked interesting a while back: Conflagration. Conflagration is mainly a fire damage over time debuff skill that launches arrows into the air to then lodge into the ground and detonated when you get close enough.

I am not a fan of damage over time, but one line on the skill caught my interest.

"Explosion deals 50% more damage with hits and ailments"

With the skill gaining an extra 1.5% more damage with the explosion per 1% gem quality is decided to add...87% gem quality. This gave me 180% more damage with the explosion. Pair that with a tanky ascendancy like Champion, and you can fire the arrows directly on top of yourself for instant detonation while facetanking.

Champion gives permanent fortify, more armor and evasion per fortify over 20, and is in a prime location for endurance charges. I went with a small cluster with Enduring Composure, knowing I get hit often, to keep endurance charges up and keep me alive. It actually ended up being surprisingly tanky.

The one drawback to this skill is PoB does not know how to calculate it. The damage is clearly not correct (you'll see in the PoB linked) and I certainly dont fire over 200,000 projectiles per attack. I managed to put this together based on feel, along with a good deal of trial and error, and I was pleasantly surprised. I have no way of knowing how much damage it does, but I would estimate somewhere between 2 and 4 million DPS.

See you in the next one!
