I'm wondering if these gloves are a good upgrade


it has flat fire dmg on burning enemys. Unfortunately PoB doesnt take into account. It rather says I would lose 50% ignite damage if I swap them with my current gloves which have no dmg mods at all..

You don't want any flat fire damage like that because it will mess up your elemental equilibrium

Are you sure? Afaik flat fire damage to SPELLS would mess up EQ, but in this case the enemies have already been hit by flamm + hexblast, are ignited and burn. So the stats on glove would increase burning damage through +fire damage.

btw. I use a jewel to apply cold spell damage to my spells.
mhh.. not sure. :/

Firstly, you should fix your gear. Wand does nothing to ignite damage.
Then your Hexblast links, you should be using Added Chaos damage, Hypothermia is worse. Awakened Added Chaos also gives +1 Chaos gem level at lvl 5. Swift Affliction is also worse than Burning Damage.
Next, get 1 or 2 fire DoT medium clusters, Blowback and Wasting Affliction are the notables to look for.
Arcane Surge does nothing for ignite damage.

Yeah, my gear isn't perfect but it should be more than good enough. My wand gives + to spells and has lightning damage which I need in order to proc EE. It could be better, but I'm not going to spend 2 ex on a fire damage wand for this build since it would only marginally increase the damage.

Neither am I going to be able to get a level 5 awakened added chaos right now, like what? Hypothermia may be slightly worse than added chaos but I'm not sure how you can definitively say that since we can't really even pob it right now. Either way I doubt it's a super substantial difference. I'm not using burning damage due to link colors too, swift affliction is a bit worse but isn't breaking my builds damage by any means.

Most importantly getting a shit ton of cluster jewels ups my damage slightly while absolutely 100% killing any survivability, which this build already struggles to get. If I take full clusters I sit around 4k hp and 1k ES or so, making you literally die to Drox auto attacks in a t16 map. Similarly your damage hardly even gets better, it still takes many minutes to kill the boss. I tried this and opted to go for a tankier setup since the damage was shit either way, cluster jewels and ignite damage jewels did not suddenly make the build able to kill bosses.

Also arcane surge gives cast speed which is incredibly useful since this build is already clunky as all hell.

People should just follow the guides, you can also check my character for ideas

You're level 85 on your character with worse gear, are you even doing red maps? Have you even killed any t14+ conquerers or sirus yet?

Added Chaos Damage should be strongest gem because of how much damage multiplier Hexblast gets

That flat added fire damage means to spells and attacks on burning enemies. Only % fire/elemental damage would increased the ignite. PoB is showing you a loss in damage because EE would then raise fire resist.

How come we don't run Fire pen support anywhere in this build? Wouldn't that help out our ignite dmg?
