PoE Hierophant, Fire builds

Hey guys, i currently play a EA Hierophant but i have terrible low boss dps and i dont know why. It took me like 5 minutes to kill one of the new pinnacle bosses. hope some1 can help me :)

POB: Just a meme build theory, dont take too seriously. (Also, I'm not going to push this into practice cause already 36 challenge this league.) In theory, playstyle could be very simple. Shield charging, placing a searing bond totem and repeating this cycle until boss fight, then spamming totems. With ashes of stars and phantasmal Q gems, 12 totems in total grant giga life and mana regen thus compensate cost of indigon in some way. Gears in POB are not realistic at all, just provide some ideas to min-max searing bond dot dmg.

DPS is calculated this way: 2 guaranteed brands attached to the enemy = 334k DPS x 2 = 669k DPS 5 additional brands shotgunning if there are other valid targets around 786k DPS (a little more if you manage to hit with explosion instead of shockwave) Total of 1455k DPS, almost 1.5 mil Up to double that much depending on how many brands are in last 25% of duration Vaal Breach helps shotgunning bosses

Used this build to beat every available pinnacle boss pretty easily other than Feared which I can't access yet (fucked up witnessing Cortex, very painful) and have been mapping smoothly with it. Wanted a few pointers as to what I can do next. On my list is filling out my Chaos Resists, trying to fish for more QOL reservation efficiency and getting more ES/Life. Damage wise im pretty happy already. Do you think that going for Pious Path was worth it defensively for me, or should I spend those points better?

Wasssa wassa This is my Searing Bond build for the 3.17 league POB: Main idea: Searing bond (6L) for melt dps Bodyswap totems (5L ) for getting searing bond on enemies + combust How we get dmg: Usual tree for increasing totem/fire/burn/dmg over time dmg 3x curses + arcane surge with vixen gloves Malevolance, Zealotry, Skitterbots, HoA Wave of Conviction + trap + multi trap + charged traps (frenzy generation) Pros: No targeting Searing Bond The build can be a league starter with great rewards as you sink cu

Hi All, I put together 2 templates (Hierophant and Champion) that I believe offer a different take on the current ignite-heavy EA Ballista builds (from XaiTV, Crouching\_tuna, Palsteron, and others). While I can in no way call these original, I think they can be tanky while putting out acceptable damage. The only gear equipped by default (if you look at items) is a +3 bow and 4-5 unrolled flasks (Silver, Jade, Granite, Quartz). Use an enduring mana/hybrid flask if needed The EA skill group is set to Barrage, swap with GMP for clear I don't know if the Flame Surge tech that everyone i
