This makes Fierious Blades utilizes Bladefall with 100% conversion into fire harm and truthful righteous fire to enhance the spell damage.
Pros & Cons:
+ End content viable
+ Overall high Defense:
+7.5k life with 8% life regeneration/sec
+7 endurance charges + 5k Armor
+85% fire resist
+net +10% chaos resist
+ High map clear speed
+ Relatively cheap gear and league starter. All cheap except the 6L chest.
- The dps is not crazy high. The map clear speed isn't crazy high either
- Problems with many map mods but it can run most of them except elemental reflect.
Main Offense:
As Ngamahu ascendancy boosts our dps by granting extra fire damage and already converts 50% of physical into the fire, it is natural to take Avatar of Fire and achieve 100% fire conversion. This is important because Hinekora ascendancy boosts only the fire harm but not the physical damage. Moreover, fire harm (but not the physical harm) is further magnified by the Elemental Overload keystone which increases our dps with little investment (boots enchant). Note that increases to physical damage or fire gain from physical harm are still applied and enhance our dps even when we have 100% physical into fire conversion.
All these harm gains can be misleading and overestimated by new players because we now need to reduce monsters' fire resistance to effectively deal high harm in the end. We accomplish this reduction in various ways (fire penetration gem, combustion, scorching ray + spell totem).
Bladefall is a ranged spell which has a unique area of effect mechanics. Unlike other aoe skills, bf's single target harm suffers from increased aoe and benefits from less aoe because a single cast creates 5 volleys and a single target will be hit by more volleys when each of the volleys covers less area. Of course, this depends on the size of the target. The bosses tend to be big and we can assume that they are hit by more than a single volley. This mechanic is beneficial for us as we can skip all the increased aoe passives in the tree and concentrated effect gem empowers the spell more than usual.
Main Defense:
Maxing to 7 endurance charges is our priority as we get additional life regeneration and dps enhance in addition to the ordinary physical mitigation. It is easy to get and sustain 7 endurance charges in maps but hard in boss fights where we are left with the enduring cry to increase the number of charges slowly one by one over time. We curse enemies with warlord's mark mainly to sustain our mana as we already have life leech and endurance charge gain from the ascendancy.
Skill Gems:
6-link: Bladefall + Add. Fire Dmg. + Fire Pen. + Spell Echo + Ele.Focus + Spell Cascade/Conc.effect
Use spell cascade in maps and Conc. effect against bosses
4-link: Armageddon Brand + Combustion + Curse on Hit + Warlord's Mark
4-link: Flame Dash + Faster Casting + Arcane Surge + Increased Duration
4-link: Enlighten (three) + (Vaal) Purity of Fire + Herald of Ash + Herald of Purity
3-link: Spell Totem + Scorching Ray + Faster Casting
Others: (Vaal) Righteous fire, Enduring Cry, Portal
Bandits:
Side with Oak as it grants both life regeneration and also increases bf damage.
