PoE Awakened Deadly Ailments, Awakened Swift Affliction builds

So one day i was messing around with pob and came up to the thought that trickster is very well suited for dots in general, not only chaos dots, and is very tanky at the same time. Then i thought that my harvest bleed bow glad was, despite his 6.5kHP, not very tanky. At all... So i took my harvest glad's pob, removed all the irrelevant gear and replaced it with stuff like kintsugi for the tankiness, vertex because idk trickster at all (never played one) but i know that the helmet is kind of bis with the ascendancy. Didn't bother maxing resistances in pob bc it looks like there's enough room o

With the new Rupture Node i've tried to come up with a Puncture version of the Deadeye, the idea being that the extra defense layer of Gale Wind will be enough to survive on the meager lifepools of the ranger and have the new Rupture node to take care of boss damage by focusing on crit, combined with perfect agony.

For Divine Ire this allows us to easily co

TLDR the skill got a lot more viable than it was before, but still isn't great. 3.11 buffed Armagedon Brand significantly, about 40% more damage with ignite, making it competitive with Fireball - plus the nice mechanical advantage of using brands. Pros: - Good clear speed. Ignite prolif is my favorite mechanic in the game, it kills respawning enemies like Beyonders and delve nodes in an effortless way, and makes Blight encounters super easy. - The brand hitting repeatedly makes Emberwake ring pretty good, for very long ignite durations and more damage (from 2x ignites) - Off-meta gear
