Maybe stupid question, but most of the time, which skill kills the mobs? Cyclone or the molten burst?

Both skill play a part in killing the mobs.

If mobs are not killed by Cyclone, Molten Burst will likely finish them off.

How does the Vaal component of the new Cyclone skill gem effect this build?

why you use The Writhing Jar flask?

So what do you guys use as an ultimate gem setup with Champion?

With the introduction of the new combustion gem, which is somewhat superior to Ele Focus, we obviously can't use both.

I'm using Cyclone - Fire Pen - WED - AoE/CE - Combustion - Damage on Full life/Faster attacks/Added fire(?)

What would be the best option out of the 3 above mentioned gems (Added Fire x Faster Attacks x Dmg on Full Life)?

Okay, so answering my own question, after some research I came to the realization that Damage On Full Life and Added Fire are superior to Faster Attacks since the molten balls are limited by a cooldown so stacking as much AS as possible is not advised.

Hey do u consider new vaal version of purity of fire ? 0 resists of mobs is like 75% more damage . Greetings Dareiosh

Hello ! i'm having troubles even clearing uberlab for the first time! Could anyone check my gear and tell me how to upgrade to be able to clear Ulab ?
Should i buy a rare 6link while waiting for my bronns 5L ? Ty in advance!

Tip: Drop regular Cyclone gem and use the new



I've been testing and it's great for abysses holes, strongboxes and even bosses that don't require you to move to avoid attacks (the really tough ones)

I've successfully used it in bosses up to T13 maps and even some t14.

Hey, I'm on vacation and only have my phone, so pardon my spelling and inability to check much.

First thing, you might check for a pob update for combustion. Before I left, it seemed like it didn't apply the resist penalty at all.
Second, I don't even know, how the wording of combustion is to be interpreted. You could read it to mean -19% fire resist global for the duration of the ignite (always on). If that is true, we want combustion on 1 skill to provide this debuff. Due to ignite mechanics, I'd put it in the Axe. That would also mean ele focus on cyclone.


edit:
According to Reddit, it is actually global. So that is a great buff. That means default setup combustion in the Axe and not on cyclone.

However maybe even herald of Ash or anger could provide this debuff. That could be the ultimate solution. If we get the -19% res from that, both main skills could run ele focus which is obviously stronger than combustion without the resist penalty.

If however the resist modifier of combustion is local to the supported skill, we probably want it in both setups.

Now to your "secondary" gem question. Of course, damage on full life will always come out ahead if you check the "are you always on full life" checkbox. The question is, if that is true. I can see an advantage here for the Slayer due to his overleech, but I honestly don't know how much of the time you really are considered to be on full life. In my personal opinion, this is just a PoB-Warrior gem.


About impurity of fire, I doubt it's worth it. We have so much pen that 0% is often a buff for the monster.

In the meantime I figured it out that Combustion in the axe and ELe Focus in the armour might be a godlike combo, I just did not get any confirmation whether the debuff is global or not. Until now. It's great news! It should work with Herald as well imo, however that way you won't get the benefit when fighting bosses, single target enemies. Not sure about Anger, it would be broken as hell in case it works.

As the ultimate gem, I swapped in Melee Physical damage, which gives as much damage as Dmg on Full Life with the benefit of not being conditional. :)


edit: The Combustion gem itself says it only supports skills that actually hit enemies. Doesn't work with HoA or Anger. Feels bad man.
