Make Note Of Fireflower Crown of the Victor Sunsplinter On Bossing Build Variant - These Will be required to make the setup work even for maps (All for buffing your Incinerate). Reference video guide if confused. None of these items actually get used while fighting enemies, you only use it specifically whenever you are casting incinerate to create the burning ground, once youve done that and picked it up with whirling slash then you can swap back to your regular amulet and helmet :)


For Mapping you should use Skysliver with skill speed runes and for Bosses you should use Saitha's Spear with bleed chance soul cores.


Blackflame Is the only other required unique and it is very important as it converts your ignite damage to chaos, this is useful because most enemies in the game including bosses have 0% chaos resistance so we do not have to invest any passive points or additional resources towards getting fire penetration.


From Nothing Cheap and recommended version with my guide is to get one for Elemental Equilibrium (Very Cheap) - then within that circle you allocate Stimulants and then on your amulet you anoint Acceleration. HOWEVER, the more expensive and ultimately better option is to just reverse these basically and get a From Nothing for Dance with Death (8 Div) then within that circle allocate Acceleration And Roll and Strike and some other of the small attack speed nodes, after that you anoint Stimulants back onto your amulet.

Convalescence Is specifically attached to weapon set 2 and will not stay active 100% of the time, it shares the same 60 spirit as blasphemy essence.


Your 1st Whirling Slash that picks up the ignited ground should be the one with Expanse and then after that all of your other ones should be with the Whirling Slash that has Martial Tempo.


Make sure that you stack up your incinerate to 8 stacks before trying to pick up the ignite with the whirling slash otherwise it will not work.

PLEASE USE POB PLANNER OR VIDEO GUIDE FOR MORE INFO ON PASSIVE TREE

(BOTH MOBALYTICS AND MAXROLL PASSIVE TREE ARE NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY TO THE WEAPON SET POINTS AND From Nothing DIAMOND)


Mobalytics passive tree isnt responding properly to the weapon set points combined with the From Nothing, make sure to reference the POB planner or video guide for a little bit more precision, essentially there is 1 point towards the bottom left of the tree (the intelligence node on the way to the the Reaving passive) is supposed to be a weapon set 1 point or red but mobalytics isnt accepting it for some reason and Ive also got 2 weapon set points allocated within the From Nothing Diamond Circle that arent being counted either.

Atlas Tree

How it Plays

At the start of maps you use Incinerate to create burning ground after that you just use Whirling Slash the rest of the map and obliterate everything :)

How it Works

Our damage is scaled EXCLUSIVELY through Incinerate and its burning ground so anyway to improve the damage from this is key. Plus levels of fire spell skills or fire skills in general is the main way and then also increased spell damage, increased fire damage etc.


Additionally, when combined with Blackflame our ignite damage converts to chaos so we can use withering presence and increased withered effect for a massive damage boost on bosses :)
