Focus is not a damage loss for this build. You are running skitterbots which apply shock and chill, and I run wave with combustion so I'm applying all 3 ailments and getting the damage buff from focus. Not sure what you're talking about tbh

Chill and Freeze are not the same thing. Taming only provides increased damage with Freeze. I have tested this with PoB and elemental focus is def a damage loss in my setup.

I swapped your ring out with my Taming and its about a 120,000 total dps loss (1.76m to 1.64m) in PoB.

Hey everyone,

Thanks OP for the build idea and thanks Cøpe for actively updating the thread. Really helped playing around different trees and gear decisions.

Something I did not see mention here, what about +1 to Projectile Gems / Pierce an additionnal target on our Helmet / Hands for our clearing setup ?

Seems a nice upgrade, namely for clearing Delirium, but I am unsure about the Chain / Pierce interraction. Any thoughts on this ?

Some stuff to mention.
The only way to make a fire(AOF/Xoph) EH actually freeze is to get the helm enchant from lab for EH to have a chance to freeze targets. Or global mods that give that such as certain cluster jewel notables. Get this to a high enough amount and can probably ditch skitterbots for the socket on Essence Worm and get Anger instead.

Soul Tether has been something that I haven't mentioned before but should've but didn't since a decent Stygian can provide a ton of useful stats (life, resists, ele damage with attacks, socket for abyssal jewel). But Soul Tether does keep both Damage on Full Life AND Energy Leech support gems active rather often for the DPS boost. I figure it's worth getting soul tether if one's resists and life values are high enough for the tradeoff.

Lastly, not sure if this was mentioned, but a somewhat starter flask especially for a fire version is a Wise Oak. Just have fire resist higher than the others and that's a free 10-15% ele pen and covers ele res/incoming elemental damage mitigation to an extent. It'd be much harder to balance for a tri-EH build obviously.

Couple things:

The helmet enchant will only apply assuming tri-elements, its not "Fire Ele hit will shock and chill" its just that when it switches to those elements you have increased chance to based on the respective element.

Soul Tether is solid in theory; however, you're losing a lot of defensives, elemental damage and onslaught/phasing/abyssal by dropping a stygian.

I use Energy Leech but dropped damage on full life and run Shroud for the lvl 20 elemental penetration support and its been great. I don't recommend damage on full life; however, energy leech is a great support gem. To counteract the energy shield depletion from blood rage I just don't use blood rage when doing Guardians/Conquerors/Bosses so I get the full benefit.

Yes Wise Oak is a great cheaper flask before you can get Dying Sun.

I've contemplated running anger once i have a lvl 4 enlighten but I don't think its worth losing MoM for or skitterbots.
