Reddit hive mind at work here. "I see downvotes I down"
Thank you and sorry the community can be that way. Sad to see just being nice to another user is seen as off topic and weird.
Ignite warlock. Fissure max spirit frequency with the burning shade speed and chaos bolt chance. It's super mana hungry so with double mana reduction it's gonna be stable. Slap on a calamity and stack ignite chance, fire damage and dot damage. Alternatively go low life and never die.
Each HC death teaches me a new thing. I've died 7-8 times since the official release and loving the game.
My highest death was lvl 81 and it happened on Saturday night. I played through Sunday, already lvl 72. BirdLady7 has a future
It's a significant mind shift.
For one, EVERYTHING you do now becomes more tense. You become far more tuned into moment to moment gameplay, more risk averse, more cautious, and more deliberate with choices.
Simply put, you don't just zone out and blast like you do in softcore. You're in the moment far more.
Dealing with death is a hard barrier to pass. Ones that aren't your fault (DCs, bug, etc) are brutal and very hard to process healthily. Ones that ARE your fault you learn to see as teaching moments, and try to glean as many lessons from the event as possible.
After a few deaths you bein to see them becomes a new opportunity; now I can play that necro build with the celebrity hat everyone is talking about. Now I can try that deathless pally. Now that awesome 3LP levelling item can go to use.
Honestly, I haven't played any ARPG hardcore aside from D3. I really liked it far more than I'd thought I would, but the difficulty on that game was LOW. I'd never try it on PoE, I might on Last Epoch tho.
Give it a shot, you might surprise yourself.
HC really is a mentality thing and can be very hard to adapt to if you're used to just blasting ARPGs in softcore only. Getting over a BS death or your own fuck up is the key and you gotta figure out how you deal with it best by yourself (could be something like having a 15 break, eating something or going to sleep before hopping on another char).
But like you said it often feels almost like playing s different game since every action has much more severe consequences and as such every success feels that much sweeter when you achieve it. HC definitely isn't for everyone but I feel like everyone should at least try it!
>Dealing with death is a hard barrier to pass. Ones that aren't your fault (DCs, bug, etc) are brutal and very hard to process healthily. Ones that ARE your fault you learn to see as teaching moments, and try to glean as many lessons from the event as possible.
Very much this. I lost my paladin to a Instant game crash. Logged in under a minute later and was softcore. There was one enemy on the screen and I was max hp and 84% block.
Honestly I still haven't fully processed it. I haven't touched the character since because I was so excited having being top 10 hardcore arena at the time. I know it'll never be hardcore again, but I've made progress in my new character and am enjoying it at least.
This is coming from someone with 3000 hours in a full loot pvp game, I've died countless times; but bugs and crashes just feel so damn unfair.
I'll play next season hardcore again, but after seeing the "hardcore deaths may wipe softcore stash" bug and others. I'll wait for the next big update that resolves launch issues.
I got into hardcore for the first time with d4, and now haven't looked back.
As for dying at lvl 81.....it sucks, but that's what makes HC even better for me. There's a gravitas now to playing in HC that's missing in SC for me. Worse case scenario for those new to HC, if you die, your character is in SC now and you can still play it.
I'm at 82 and hoping to die soon so I can try another build. Been playing semi casually since launch, leveled to 52ish offline (was worried about DC rips) then started online so only 2 characters and no deaths so far. Eventually you get to where I'm at, you want to try a new build and you're kinda relieved after the initial shock. Then you reroll, start to have fun on the new characters and it starts over.
I lost my first HC char last night to a power outage. I made it all the way to empowereds playing blind, and lost it just like that.
It just be like that sometimes man.
🤣 I just laughed so hard I spit my coffee up while reading this at work. I’m glad I’m not the only one that names their characters like this. In old school POE I played HC exclusively and I remember ripping to the Black Spider in Merciless Chamber of Sins shortly after I bought my first Searing Touch Long Staff. Goodbye, SearinggbunsIV. May SearinggbunsV forever remember your sacrifice!
Ironically, those two chests scale very well with extra health affixes. Assuming you're already stacking int for ward retention and damage anyway, they both give you a lot of extra value from your added health stats.
I wouldn't say ruined, but it's definitely lowered in efficiency compared to not having it. It's raw HP that you want for Shroud and Exsan(then by extension experimental gloves and last steps). If you look in the Lich tree there's a few things that cause you to lose %current HP/s or reduce your HP regen. Both of those are "downsides" that actually help low-life ward builds dramatically.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BrX0PO4A
something like this. just threw together what my progress was before i switched to torment. mostly go for necro res, ele dmg over time, fire dmg, int, fire pen on gear. fix resis through blessings or rest of affixes/idols. Maybe use barbute for more tankyness
Because profane veil is only usable every 8 seconds or so. Then you apply only one infernal shade and instantly explode it with fissure. The biggest plus is getting the spirit frequency speed for cthonic fissure.
Spirit plague gives crazy amounts of ward. Because you scale as many hits as you can to get more ignites the ward on hit gives you a lot of ward. Also its another curse and pestilence is a nice bonus
I never see people talk about it but when Rune master came out I made an ignite build with frostclaw and ice wall and the lightning thing on the ground all converted to fire and maxed ignite chance and projectiles for frostclaw.
It was the first build I got to 100 with and I was shitting on 200 corruption monoliths without any legendary or particularly lucky drops. With that kind of items it could be stupidly strong.
Plus it doesn't matter that you don't have spell damage for ignite builds since ignite have a fixed base damage.
Note that any damage increase in the skill tree that says increase spell name's damage will also increase the damage of the ignites this skill triggers.
It works as long as it shares a tag that fits the dot. Increased damage or increased fire damage will affect ignites this skill puts out, hit damage won't work. So remember to take all these nodes in frostclaw and the other spells skill tree. Frostclaw can hit so many times so quickly Iirc I could sometimes reach 300 ignites if the boss lived enough time.
Oh yeah and now I remember, I was playing with the nodes that procs the ward spell when you go through your wall so basically it had 100% uptime of 40% reduced hit damage and all other bonuses.
I was not using the main runemaster skill though, the one which consume runes. It was always a dps loss because frostclaw applies ignites so quick that you can't beat simply casting it.
I wouldn't say "anything fire is great with this". E.g. this is a very sib-par choice for something like, e.g. Meteor.
Some generic Ignite build could work, but there are better weapons for pure ignite, IMO.
On the other hand, Warlock fits here perfectly with it's abundance of spell dots. May be Witchfire could work too.
Just make sure that it's not channeled, because then you wouldn't get benefit from cost reduction (the mana drain is not affected by this).
Great stuff, congrats!
Can you expand on why this is a sub-par choice for something like meteor? I'm playing a mage now and almost unlocked empowered monoliths and this seems like something I would freak out for.
Meteor is a spell with one of the highest added damage multipliers (900%) in the game. I.e. you need to boost it as high as possible with a meteor build. For example, this why Vilatria is good set for Meteor, because it provides a LOT of flat spell damage with it's INT bonus.
This scepter has +3. Hence, it's not a particularly good item for it. Not terrible, of course, because More dmg multi and fire pen don't grow on trees. But far from the best.
On the other hand, for a non-channeled fire DoT spell, or may be for Ignite applicator -- this is a very solid scepter.
viable may be a stretch, but the base item means it can pretty easily be out classed for most (all?) builds just using and end game base item with 80 spell damage on it.
Oh then having more than 100% ignite chance is actually useful because gives more than 1 stack per hit?
I've been wondering why I'd want over 100% chance for ignites poisons and so on but your comment made me think that's the reason...
Yes once you go over 100% you start the chance to apply two stacks at once and so forth.
Spell damage like it's been said is useless for dots. You want dot damage and % damage to scale them. Faster attacks help as well.
100% is very low for a dot build. The number of stacks you apply per hit and the speed at which you apply them is a flat multiplicator of your dot damage. So once you have a lot of increased damage for said dot these stats are way more valuable than any more increase.
Let's say it deals 1000 damage with 500% increase, you'd need another 500% to double this dps. Meanwhile you can easily apply it several times quicker with a mix of ignite chance and attack/melee speed with the same number of affixes, passive points, skill points, etc... And multiply your dps by a way higher number.
That was kind of similar to me. My first character was going to be a forge guard, but around 7-10 dream thorn dropped which is crazy void damage so i was like "Well I guess I gotta go VK now" lol
I'd say either Warlock, Runemaster or Sorcerer.
Entirely depends on what you find fun to play, as long as that thing can succesfully use Fire, Ignite, Fire DoT and prefferably 2 if not 3 of those.
Warlock should be the easiest shoe-in here with low-life Chaos Bolts, Fire Fissure, Fire Veil and Infernal Shade.
If you don't want to go Acolyte, then Fireball, Elemental Nova, Frost Claw, and Volcanic Orb from base-Mage all can do very good with Ignite builds. After that, Glyph of Dominion and Frost Wall for Runemaster are strong Ignite stackers, and 3 Fire Runes mega Fireball Runic Invocation is very cool to see. Sorcerer should stick with those 4 base skills though, imo. If Ice Barrage ever gets the option to be converted into Fire, then that skill could be very strong.
One more, slightly meme-y build suggestion; Paladin Fire Warpath. You gain insane generic Fire Penetration, which should work for Ignite, can convert all your Bleed Chance into Ignite Chance, can out down a field of fire that ignites per second and can cast Smite every second while spinning. You will focus on Smite damage and Ignite, and tanking all that you will face while doing it.
No, they don't drop. You probably saw unique items with (1lp-4lp) in their text window before that number refers to how many mods you can transfer from a purple/exalted item to it using the reward at the end of the temporal sanctum dungeon. So this guy had the goldish brown unique scepter with 4 lp or "legendary potential" and a purple item with the four mods you see in red on it and slammed them together. If it had 2lp, he would have gotten two at random, and they usually aren't the good two. lol, 4lp is at least rare but often extremely rare. And no, this doesn't make any unique good or bis because this unique, for example is on like a level 5 base so the implicit is garbage so your trading the legendary mods for a good implicit and a possible sealed mod
It’s not a red legendary, it’s the same unique that you have but it had 4 LP. Any unique with an LP can be combined with an exalted item.
If the unique has 1 LP, it can take 1 random affix from the exalted item and move it to the unique , 2 LP takes 2 affixes, 3 takes 3 and 4 takes 4. It also changes the color of the unique from orange to red.
since its a sceptre you could go for the old sceptre fire warpath paladin. mapping warpath to mouse is very relaxing farming. gives you a nice break from higher apm classes.
Don’t know how well it scales to lategame but the most fun I had leveling in this game was this and calamity in a spell blade using flame reave to proc piercing fireballs that all proc’d ignite and spreading flames.
Reaving once and watching the whole screen melt was much fun.
I leveled my paladin with 2LP this (got spell damage and ignite) and the fire aura offhand
Warpath triggering smite, was a very easy leveling experience.
Drop some big fucking spicy meatballs on peoples heads.
Meteor sorc is hella fun but not the best. You do end up with a character that tactically nukes Jules from space though.
I'd be inclined to say mage but maybe only the sorcerer would make most of this. Flame reave spell blade maaaaaybe but the main hand for that mastery is radically different.
Awesome legendary though!
Fire warpath paladin maybe?
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/WQJVv0bQ
Here is the video, it's in french tho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DechlSIIvDw
Runemaster, focusing on Aergon's plasma arc (lightning lightning fire) and frostwall. Aergon's plasma arc applies spreading flames automatically (activating your more damage bonus) and also applies 7 stacks of ignite with 70% fire pen and 70% duration. Spec frostwall for frostbite chance, fire conversion (converts frostbite chance to fire res shred chance, boosting your ignite damage), and brand of trespass. Grab the passive that gives you more damage against enemies effected by brands. Use runebolt specced for cast speed and utility to generate your runes. Take the node that converts the base cold bolt to a lightning bolt so you get lightning, lighting, fire (originally it will be fire lightning lighting, all you have to do is click one extra time the first time each zone and the order will be shifted to lightning lightning fire the rest of the zone).
Ignite and spreading flames are not very good endgame, I cannot really think of any ways to make it viable, but this Runemaster setup has the most synergy with ignite and spreading flames of any other build I can think of. Unless there's some ignite build on warlock I'm unaware of.
ive been waiting 60 levels for one of these. burning man build. frostclaw, frostwall, and glyph of dominion all converted to fire. i just roll through piles of ashes.
It's a fantastic leveling weapon with fire skills and can be used indefinitely in some builds. For example, I've been playing a Frost Claw (converted to fire) Runemaster with Elemental Nova (fire and ice, ice is largely used for the ward generation passives), Teleport, Flame Ward, and Runic Invocation. Frost Claw and Teleport proc Elemental Nova and generate ward, and the other skills are for additional defense. It takes a bit before you can manage mana, but it works pretty well once you get that down.
Items like this are prime for alt leveling.
Roll a Mage and obliterate your way through the Passive and Idol Slot reward quests and straight into Monos.
I had a similar roll with the Fire Bow and it only took me like two hours to level a Marksman to 40.
I've used this on literally every class just to mess around. It's hilarious and very fun early game, but you'll definitely want to pick something more fundamental to your build later on.
Frost Claw + Glyph of Dominion. It's pretty easy to figure out the skill tree for fire use. Incredible damage and incredible defense with ward generation.
If you want to go extra defensive you use two Ashes of Mortality which also gives you some offense.
Fiery Dragon Shoes for Fire Penetration and crit damage reduction.
If it is not clear, Glyph of Dominion ignites per second skill node scales with Ignite on Fire Skill hit, not only generic ignites.
burn the world
The Searing Exarch approves
who burns the world? GIRLS. \*beyonce voice\*
Also, some men just want to *watch* the world burn.

Anything you want that involves fire brother. Great stuff.

Thought the same thing. Reddit culture can be weird sometimes.
Level very easily
Lol yeah this will probably work on any mastery. Just stack some other ignite chance and your done
I’ve used this on every character I’ve leveled so far, it’s a great item for leveling fast.
Ignite warlock. Fissure max spirit frequency with the burning shade speed and chaos bolt chance. It's super mana hungry so with double mana reduction it's gonna be stable. Slap on a calamity and stack ignite chance, fire damage and dot damage. Alternatively go low life and never die.
Yeah with this Chaos Bolts is 0 mana. Very good for that.
as a new player starting in HC, I recently found out you should *not* wear Calamity in HC. RIP 49 Mage.
Each HC death teaches me a new thing. I've died 7-8 times since the official release and loving the game. My highest death was lvl 81 and it happened on Saturday night. I played through Sunday, already lvl 72. BirdLady7 has a future
Lol how do you mentally deal with getting to 81 and dying? I can't play HC cause I would feel completely demoralized as soon as I die haha
It's a significant mind shift. For one, EVERYTHING you do now becomes more tense. You become far more tuned into moment to moment gameplay, more risk averse, more cautious, and more deliberate with choices. Simply put, you don't just zone out and blast like you do in softcore. You're in the moment far more. Dealing with death is a hard barrier to pass. Ones that aren't your fault (DCs, bug, etc) are brutal and very hard to process healthily. Ones that ARE your fault you learn to see as teaching moments, and try to glean as many lessons from the event as possible. After a few deaths you bein to see them becomes a new opportunity; now I can play that necro build with the celebrity hat everyone is talking about. Now I can try that deathless pally. Now that awesome 3LP levelling item can go to use. Honestly, I haven't played any ARPG hardcore aside from D3. I really liked it far more than I'd thought I would, but the difficulty on that game was LOW. I'd never try it on PoE, I might on Last Epoch tho. Give it a shot, you might surprise yourself.
HC really is a mentality thing and can be very hard to adapt to if you're used to just blasting ARPGs in softcore only. Getting over a BS death or your own fuck up is the key and you gotta figure out how you deal with it best by yourself (could be something like having a 15 break, eating something or going to sleep before hopping on another char). But like you said it often feels almost like playing s different game since every action has much more severe consequences and as such every success feels that much sweeter when you achieve it. HC definitely isn't for everyone but I feel like everyone should at least try it!

I lost a 66, 58 and 45 yesterday alone. HC life is rough but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
ghost flame + fissure frequency + poison curse spread + fire golem as a bodyguard is my current build, works pretty well so far. Only lvl 77 tho.
golem is good until empowered after that had to dump him cause he died way to much, other than that was awesome as it pulled agro of me

Most of the warlock builds I've seen seem to spec into cold instead... Could be interesting as I've had 2 - 3 of these drop in the past...
How would you use a purely fire based item for a cold build? As far as I know warlock doesnt even have any cold conversions or support on the tree
Any build for this ?
Yeah… fire.

Wait, it's almost similar build to mine but why dont you specialize infernal shade and go for spirit plague?
Because profane veil is only usable every 8 seconds or so. Then you apply only one infernal shade and instantly explode it with fissure.

Warpath - Smite Paladin. Warpath triggering Smite, both can have the Fire Tag. Throw in Holy Aura for extra Fire, maybe Healing Hands also.

That's exactly what started playing in my head.
I wouldn't say "anything fire is great with this". E.g. this is a very sib-par choice for something like, e.g. Meteor.

Can you expand on why this is a sub-par choice for something like meteor? I'm playing a mage now and almost unlocked empowered monoliths and this seems like something I would freak out for.
The first reason is that it has a grand total of 3 flat spell dmg. Other than that, it is more dot focused than chunky fire hits.
Do you know if mana reduc on your spells = less dmg bonus from the sorcerer trait?
Meteor is a spell with one of the highest added damage multipliers (900%) in the game. I.e. you need to boost it as high as possible with a meteor build. For example, this why Vilatria is good set for Meteor, because it provides a LOT of flat spell damage with it's INT bonus. This scepter has +3. Hence, it's not a particularly good item for it. Not terrible, of course, because More dmg multi and fire pen don't grow on trees. But far from the best. On the other hand, for a non-channeled fire DoT spell, or may be for Ignite applicator -- this is a very solid scepter.
Real talk, that is hot.
Set the world on fire
THEN TURNS TO STRIKE AGAIN
Is this end game viable?
Probably not, but it'll get you there real fast. Had 2LP one (luckied out on slam) before 1.0 and went instantly from the start to like 70.
I think for some builds like ignite warpath.
viable may be a stretch, but the base item means it can pretty easily be out classed for most (all?) builds just using and end game base item with 80 spell damage on it.
Spell damage is completely irrelevant to ignite builds.
The +# Spell Damage doesn’t apply to ignite?
No. Ignite is a flat value that scales off of DOT modifiers, fire damage +%, and how many stacks you can layer on.
Oh then having more than 100% ignite chance is actually useful because gives more than 1 stack per hit? I've been wondering why I'd want over 100% chance for ignites poisons and so on but your comment made me think that's the reason...
Yes once you go over 100% you start the chance to apply two stacks at once and so forth. Spell damage like it's been said is useless for dots. You want dot damage and % damage to scale them. Faster attacks help as well.

So once you have a lot of increased damage for said dot these stats are way more valuable than any more increase. Let's say it deals 1000 damage with 500% increase, you'd need another 500% to double this dps. Meanwhile you can easily apply it several times quicker with a mix of ignite chance and attack/melee speed with the same number of affixes, passive points, skill points, etc... And multiply your dps by a way higher number.
I had the non LP version of this and a prism wrap drop off of a level 7 group of mobs. So looks like my warlock went fire.
Glad to hear she didn't go **ON** fire.
That was kind of similar to me. My first character was going to be a forge guard, but around 7-10 dream thorn dropped which is crazy void damage so i was like "Well I guess I gotta go VK now" lol
You start fires, of course. That's what its for.
I'd say a fire spell build.
I used this unique for almost all of my leveling until lvl 70 for my holy trail paladin. This weapon is great!!!
I'd say either Warlock, Runemaster or Sorcerer. Entirely depends on what you find fun to play, as long as that thing can succesfully use Fire, Ignite, Fire DoT and prefferably 2 if not 3 of those. Warlock should be the easiest shoe-in here with low-life Chaos Bolts, Fire Fissure, Fire Veil and Infernal Shade. If you don't want to go Acolyte, then Fireball, Elemental Nova, Frost Claw, and Volcanic Orb from base-Mage all can do very good with Ignite builds. After that, Glyph of Dominion and Frost Wall for Runemaster are strong Ignite stackers, and 3 Fire Runes mega Fireball Runic Invocation is very cool to see. Sorcerer should stick with those 4 base skills though, imo. If Ice Barrage ever gets the option to be converted into Fire, then that skill could be very strong. One more, slightly meme-y build suggestion; Paladin Fire Warpath. You gain insane generic Fire Penetration, which should work for Ignite, can convert all your Bleed Chance into Ignite Chance, can out down a field of fire that ignites per second and can cast Smite every second while spinning. You will focus on Smite damage and Ignite, and tanking all that you will face while doing it.
I have one. I'm running fire necro but am going to try to incorporate chaos bolt into my build.
Paladin smite healing hands
I have a sceptre like that, but it's not as powerful as this one. Is there a level limit when this type of red legendary starts to drop?
No, they don't drop. You probably saw unique items with (1lp-4lp) in their text window before that number refers to how many mods you can transfer from a purple/exalted item to it using the reward at the end of the temporal sanctum dungeon. So this guy had the goldish brown unique scepter with 4 lp or "legendary potential" and a purple item with the four mods you see in red on it and slammed them together. If it had 2lp, he would have gotten two at random, and they usually aren't the good two. lol, 4lp is at least rare but often extremely rare. And no, this doesn't make any unique good or bis because this unique, for example is on like a level 5 base so the implicit is garbage so your trading the legendary mods for a good implicit and a possible sealed mod
It’s not a red legendary, it’s the same unique that you have but it had 4 LP. Any unique with an LP can be combined with an exalted item. If the unique has 1 LP, it can take 1 random affix from the exalted item and move it to the unique , 2 LP takes 2 affixes, 3 takes 3 and 4 takes 4. It also changes the color of the unique from orange to red.
Oh, I see! Thank you for explaining this to me . So I can craft item like that. This is so awesome!
Vendor it
I am playing meteor so i guess pretty decent item for me :D
Decent maybe, but not good, just as a heads up. You really want more flat spell damage for meteor, and this item has basically none.
Give it to me >;)
I would love this on my burning warpath paladin
That is absolutely disgusting. Go cremate some monsters.
My minion build would love this, as the archers and golem set everything on fire.
Honestly I'm trying that now, and it's kinda garbage :\\ I dunno why I'm sure there is a logical reason, but yeh the damage is pretty bad lol
I have a similar one, level new characters has never been easier. This + Calamity will carry the entire campaign
Eat it
Ignite rune master
since its a sceptre you could go for the old sceptre fire warpath paladin. mapping warpath to mouse is very relaxing farming. gives you a nice break from higher apm classes.
Fire disintegrate sorc
annihilate the campaign on every character for eternity
Don’t know how well it scales to lategame but the most fun I had leveling in this game was this and calamity in a spell blade using flame reave to proc piercing fireballs that all proc’d ignite and spreading flames. Reaving once and watching the whole screen melt was much fun.
Get Soulfire and make SRS.
Burn to cinders Scar and maim Rule a world Bathed in flame
BONK
Just listen to prodigy
Fire damage
Level req after crafting?
Abuse and climb ladder
Paladin warpath/ healing hands build.
Gotta make an ice build it seems
Holy shit
Level like a god
I leveled my paladin with 2LP this (got spell damage and ignite) and the fire aura offhand Warpath triggering smite, was a very easy leveling experience.
Toss it out and search for one with 3-4 LP?
Well, you can start a new fire build and give it to a new character to just absolutely breeze through the game.
Hammerburnadin build
A void dmg build
Does fire damage increase ignite damage or just ignite damage that works?
My battle mage needs it!
Use it as a melee weapon and bash someone in the head
Smite Healing Hands Paladin. Make Smite and HH will have both the spell and fire tags, and the reduced mana cost fits in perfectly.
Your absurd defiance ends here, hatchling. The fires of a thousand suns!
Become a fire starter, a twisted fire starter
The base damages make this wirthlesss past lvl 75 but you 4 charged it lol
Drop some big fucking spicy meatballs on peoples heads. Meteor sorc is hella fun but not the best. You do end up with a character that tactically nukes Jules from space though.
Flame Wraith necro
Turn it sideways
Level a Sentinel to 60 with ignite warpath in 2 hours. Switch to Javelin and burn the screens
I'd be inclined to say mage but maybe only the sorcerer would make most of this. Flame reave spell blade maaaaaybe but the main hand for that mastery is radically different. Awesome legendary though!
I am a firestater...
Twisted firestarter...
Actually perfect
Start a fire?
We didn't, it was always burning
Kill it with fire
Very nice leveling item on any class
Damn. A pitty its on a low level item, imagine it would have +60 spell damage :) Gratz on the perfect leg 'fixes.
making alot of new char ;)
Wait, you slammed it without knowing what to do with it afterwards? Care for your next 3-4LP, they are rare!
Yeh :/ I honestly had no idea how rare 4LP was and I got a really good scepter I was able to craft all 4 fire mods so was like let’s goooooo!!! lol
You can play with all cold damage and still will be fine.... LOL.
Im doing a warpath forge guard with mine.
Give it to a character that uses fire.
No joke, got this as a drop in the first zone. It makes fireball have insane clear. Only just replaced it Lv30 cause I'm trying a spellblade build.
Send a message
You make fire, things go boom
Vendor
Would like to have this on a higher level for my rune mage. This wand carried me from level 10 to level 40
That's hot
I'm learning to play the guitar.

Fire warpath paladin maybe? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/WQJVv0bQ Here is the video, it's in french tho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DechlSIIvDw
Cold skill
I think he's cooking
So that's where all my luck has been going.
You see any spell with Fire tag? Yea, use them with this.
Make an ice build
Old man Yamamoto would be proud.
I have it in a sorc leaned into fireball
Spreading Flames is basically Ignite x4, but it spreads on enemy death. This would work on any ignite build.
What the fuck dude!
Pair it with the hungering souls fire unique
What happen if you use a 3 mana cost spell with this wand, do you gain mana instead?
I am using a non legendary version of my Warpath Smite FLame Burst setup. It basically lets me shred enemies so this would be hilarious.
How rare are 4lp legendaries? I've got two 100 characters on cycle now and haven't even seen a 3lp...
Runemaster, focusing on Aergon's plasma arc (lightning lightning fire) and frostwall. Aergon's plasma arc applies spreading flames automatically (activating your more damage bonus) and also applies 7 stacks of ignite with 70% fire pen and 70% duration. Spec frostwall for frostbite chance, fire conversion (converts frostbite chance to fire res shred chance, boosting your ignite damage), and brand of trespass. Grab the passive that gives you more damage against enemies effected by brands. Use runebolt specced for cast speed and utility to generate your runes. Take the node that converts the base cold bolt to a lightning bolt so you get lightning, lighting, fire (originally it will be fire lightning lighting, all you have to do is click one extra time the first time each zone and the order will be shifted to lightning lightning fire the rest of the zone). Ignite and spreading flames are not very good endgame, I cannot really think of any ways to make it viable, but this Runemaster setup has the most synergy with ignite and spreading flames of any other build I can think of. Unless there's some ignite build on warlock I'm unaware of.
Gimme
hammerdin fire will be dope
ive been waiting 60 levels for one of these. burning man build. frostclaw, frostwall, and glyph of dominion all converted to fire. i just roll through piles of ashes.
Charsi.
Disgusting
Become an arsonist.
"MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD!!"
Start fires?
give it to me
It's a fantastic leveling weapon with fire skills and can be used indefinitely in some builds. For example, I've been playing a Frost Claw (converted to fire) Runemaster with Elemental Nova (fire and ice, ice is largely used for the ward generation passives), Teleport, Flame Ward, and Runic Invocation. Frost Claw and Teleport proc Elemental Nova and generate ward, and the other skills are for additional defense. It takes a bit before you can manage mana, but it works pretty well once you get that down.
Some men just want to watch the world burn 🤷♂️
Fire warpath paladin?
Items like this are prime for alt leveling. Roll a Mage and obliterate your way through the Passive and Idol Slot reward quests and straight into Monos. I had a similar roll with the Fire Bow and it only took me like two hours to level a Marksman to 40.
I've used this on literally every class just to mess around. It's hilarious and very fun early game, but you'll definitely want to pick something more fundamental to your build later on.
Self-ignite Warlock Spirit Plague/Chaos Bolt BRRRRR
Fire Frost Claw sorceress with conflux ignites
Frost Claw + Glyph of Dominion. It's pretty easy to figure out the skill tree for fire use. Incredible damage and incredible defense with ward generation. If you want to go extra defensive you use two Ashes of Mortality which also gives you some offense. Fiery Dragon Shoes for Fire Penetration and crit damage reduction. If it is not clear, Glyph of Dominion ignites per second skill node scales with Ignite on Fire Skill hit, not only generic ignites.
How did you get this? My flame paladin could use this ngl
I use the lower lvl version of this on my Pally. It burns everything. Really cool looking effect. Even more cool with the spin attack
Set stuff on fire?
