PoE builds similar to Hexblack Blackflame Occultist PoB Update #1 [PoE 3.16]

Hi all! So I've decided to try to theorycraft something simple for my first leaguestart without using a guide made by ziz, jungroan, pathofmath, and the like. I'm interested in an ignite build and eventually settled on hexblast ignite because playing with curses also seemed fun. I made a POB and it's hitting 8mill ignite dps on guardians on gear that shouldn't cost more than 7 or 8 ex I think by the second or third week of league. Is this too good to be true? Maybe I invested too little in defenses or something. &x200B; Any input would be appreciated ! :) &x200B; POB:[

Hi Everyone! I hope you're all having an amazing league! I'm back with another follow-up on my league starter, which was an Ignite Hexblast Elementalist. Recently I've swapped into Occultist, hence a few things have changed. 1. Blackflame - Enemies ignited take chaos damage 2. Replace Windshreek with a solid pair of boots, life, res, Ignites deal damage faster implicit and Increased action speed implicit 3. +1 curse body armor to replace the additional curse from Windshreek 4. Ashes of the Stars is a solid amulet, will help with mana reservation, must be very well rolled and prob a

So I've been playing selfcast Hexblast ignite as an Inquisitor for my league starts for quite some time now, and I decided to take it to endgame. Ended up going Occultist and converting Ignite damage to Chaos with Blackflame and about 15m Ignite DPS (100m total damage per ignite). The character is very tanky as it has 90% all res, maxblock and is CI with Incandescent Heart for Extra Ele damage mitigation. Currently there is no one playing Hexblast in this way on Poe Ninja so I guess you could call this an "off meta build" lol :). I do like the Ignite playstyle and maybe there are some fello

Prices estimated by looking at or purchasing similar items listed 1 month ago: Budget Version ---- Stats listed in approximate order of importance for each slot Shield: 10c Life, Resistances, Block, ES, Dexterity We DON'T need spell damage Wand: 5c +1 spell is best, +1 chaos very much fine, +1/+1 is BIS for wand Get +2 Gems, Fire DoT muli, DoT multi, increased Burning damage, increased fire damage I think +1 gems should be most important, but a very high Tier 2 or better Fire DoT might be as good if you can't find any combinations above Nice to have: crit chance, cast speed, mana, mana r

First off, let me get this out of the way. This isn't going to be a meta build, there's probably better selfcast builds than this too, and i'm sure mines will do better damage. I just hate mines and don't want to play it, and wanted to see what I can do with Archmage on leaguestart. Also many of the more popular ways to scale hexblast involve some very expensive uniques, and since most traditional archmage items are relatively cheap (Ivory Tower <5c launch day). I thought it might be a decent league starter, so lets give it a try. It does roughly 20M Pinnacle Boss DPS, and some PoB warr

My skeleton POB: I like playing ignites, but still want something that plays a bit smoother than EA totems. I currently have 1.3mil Sirus ignite dps with around 30-40c league start investment. &x200B; POB has level 20 gems with no quality, 90%inc life and 140% ES, plus almost capped chaos res from just ascendancy and Blackflame. So there is plenty of room for improvement. Ideas include getting ashes of the stars and divergent Hexblast to help boost dps a lot. Then I have pathed down into the trickster area, but I th

Hi, guys! I've been POBing this build since the Flame Surge rework was announced. I think after the recent pob push, I can share it. I play SSSFHC so this build is quite tanky. If that's not your thing, simply go clusters and get 3-10x the DPS. 10/21 Edit: I don't plan to update this even after LocalIdentity1 pushes out the new POB. I will simply make another post a week after league start concerning my progress. If you have questions, IGN: LefthandedIRL &x200B; With decent SSF gear (Day 8 or 9 or lvl 97-98) ^(The

I'd like to share my slightly non-meta build - hexblast ignite chieftain. Dominant archetype is chaos converted occultist, but I wanted to check fire route with some chieftain's beefiness. I hope it may act as a benchmark or inspiration for others that would like to explore this skill. PoB: [

Let me preface this with two things. 1. This is an update to the build I posted 2 days ago. Although now I feel it is not just decent, but actually good. 2. I believe this build will have slightly better numbers in 3.20 since we are getting some pretty big buffs to curses but we are also losing base effects of curses, hexblast just has worse numbers for self cast and occultist is getting some minor nerfs. But it will feel much better, since now you don't have to manage doom mechanics. Now into the build itsef. The build has three levels, based around investment. 1. The first level i

Tinkering around a bit with the build I managed to get over 2 million sirus dot dps with pretty low investment (pretty much all of it is used on blackflame). But honestly that works for me considering how shitty all the gear is + and the fact that is dot dps. Defensively the build is lacking, but I feel that the capped glancing blows + temporal chains as an aura makes it tolerable for softcore. The build is mainly centered around 2 things, blackflame and doomblast to trigger elemental overload. With better gear like a cane of kulemak and actually decent rares I feel like the build can be go

This is a build i have been playing for a few leagues in a row, decided to share for anyone interested hmu with questions if you have any &x200B; POB:
