I'm having trouble with my build. https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/wave-of-conviction-ignite-elementalist-build-guide quote:Main Link: Wave of Conviction – Ignite Proliferation Support –Deadly Ailments Support –Cruelty Support –Burning Damage Support – Unbound Ailments Support  This is supposed to be my six-link gun and it's a POS. Is it because I didn't get a vaal gem yet? The guide says POE Crucible 3.21 which I believe is up to date, written in May and not nerfed but this thing is nigh useless even compared to a simple flame wall. What am I doing wrong are my expectations wrong? The other things I'm using flame wise are scaling well with the passives, especially the flameblast, but the wave of conviction is a mana suck for no real damage. I guess it works better on groups but it's just not impressive the way chain lightning was and on pairs, threes, smaller groups it's feeble.

I don’t think you want to increase the length of ignite with unbound ailments. I could be wrong

Well Sirius sure sucks rear end. Completely unavoidable instant death attacks where he literally snipes you from off screen. lmao Got him down to about half and then he did some laser pinwheel thing where he split into a dozen copies of himself and would randomly shoot insta-death lasers so yeah, that was the end of that.

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:http://poeurl.com/dR4Q okay, unclear on how much of this is POB difficulties and how much is you not knowing how things work so to be on the safe I will explain several steps that you may or may not already know: you are playing an elementalist ignite build. ignite means that a spell hits and then sets the enemy on fire. a big hit means a big ignite. a small hit means a small ignite. that's why you don't want to use deadly ailments for ignite builds, which reduces your hit by a very large amount. e: additionally, wave of conviction is a spell which gains a LOT of damage through levels. that's why people are asking about your level 11 gem level. if your gem level is far below the content you are doing, that means your hits are much lower than they should be for the level, and that's why it feels piddly. spells do not just ignite on their own, they need +chance to ignite. an elementalist is an ascendency of the witch. you can think of an ascendency as a sub-class. specifically, the elementalist gets "shaper of flames," which means that all hits from the elementalist ignite, regardless of +chance to ignite. would you like guidance on ascendencies and how to ascend, or do you have that covered?

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:http://poeurl.com/dR4Q Ok sweet. You don't have your ascendency yet, which means your WoC probably is not igniting much. If you have been running the green gated doors during acts you will have access to trials in act 3. Take out deadly ailments for now, replace it with added fire damage. You will need to run the trial, and then spec into elementalist, and then take shaper of flames. This will make WoC always ignite.

DA is fine for ignite, but currently there really isn't any ignites being dealt. oh right. i forgot that "hits" and "dots" have, ehh, separate calculation streams? not sure how else to describe this state of affairs but yeah if you aren't igniting, then wave of conviction is just hitting, and deadly ailments is killing your hits.

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:http://poeurl.com/dR4Q To explain in detail, the setup you posted is entirely focused on ignite damage. Your hit damage is complete dogshit with that setup while the ignite does like 50x more damage. The setup you posted has 0 chance to ignite in the links at all. This is because Elementalist has a node that gives 100% chance to ignite with all damage you deal, which the entire build is based on. If you don't have Elementalist and take the node that makes all your damage 100% ignite, you basically never ignite and never do any damage. That is why you think this build isn't working.
