Notes
Notes
- Enlighten 4 is not required; it's QoL to make mana smoother and allow for maximum tattooage
- Flesh/Flame combo is basically required; it allows us to run Lunaris pantheon and gives an enormous amount of ES regen; I haven't tested the build without it but I think it would feel bad
- Clarity level can be tweaked based on feel; I left mine at 10 ages ago and haven't felt the need to mess with it
- Warrior's Tale allows us lots of tattoos and lots of explode chance. It's not optimal for raw DPS numbers versus a well-rolled DoT multi jewel but it's way more fun and gives great clear.
Improvements
~8d? - Reroll crafted mods on dagger is ~0.9% DPS if get mid-roll for both
10-15d - Perfect rolls on Incandescent Heart are ~5% damage increase (double corrupt even stronger)
- https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/OQG0y6gTE
4.5d - Anomalous Defiance Banner - ~800 armour and associated boosts
~2d? - Can get ~90 more ES with 30 qual + Sacred Orb on Aegis
?? - Maybe a loyalty tattoo would be fun?
Non-Improvements Considered
6-7d - Skin of the Lords (30-40d for good keystone); Does not appear to actually be an improvement even with Empower 4
5.5d - Empower 4 (3.5% dps but higher mana cost as well)
-- For some reason that I don't fully understand, Empower 4 is 4% less dps than awakened burning damage when combined with a +2 dagger.
-- And dagger + burning is 5.6% better than Empower 4 alone
-- So dagger is the much bigger upgrade overall (9%) but at a steep crafting cost
Divergent Flame Surge - 5% inc aoe, probably never matters
1d - 30 qual on Crown is ~10 ES
