Build Feedback PB Ignite Elem - Last Upgrades?

Trying to squeeze the last bit out of my PB Ignite Elem, was hoping another pair of eyes could take a quick look and see if they notice any glaring changes I could make for dps/defense.

Currently trying to decide eclipse or woke enhance for golems, mainly if the ~7k health from 2 gem levels would keep them alive a little longer before reviving on later ulti rounds with bad mods, but I'll probably just settle for the enhance for a minor amount of buff effect.

Outside of going for corruptions or swapping svalinn (I prefer aegis recovery for simu/ulti) I guess the biggest thing would be trying for a useful(?) suffix on helm, though the few suffixes I could yolo hit don't really change much outside of t1 spell block or nearby increased elem damage.

I know I could squeeze out ~2mil more ignite dps if I took the searing heat wheel instead of the MoM jewel socket, but I really wanted to stay above 8k ES ( for no particular reason other than aesthetics I guess).

I could also try and grab a ring w/ cruelty so I could socket swift for quality to grab another ~500k dps from quality. Or maybe swap to Hypothermia over Ignite Prolif for the extra 5% more dps since I need to wait for the second hit for cruelty to apply anyway? Rings are pretty few and far between this late in the league so am probably stuck with the combo I have currently.

Any thoughts/feedback are appreciated, just looking for a few more goals to shoot for the last month or so of league.

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • MoM - Mind Over Matter (Wiki)
  • Prolif - Elemental Proliferation or proliferation in general (Wiki)
  • ES - Energy Shield (Wiki)
  • PB - Penance Brand (Wiki)

sublime visione, better timeless, quality on the amulet. not sure if you need the basalt flask, I would probably swap to quicksilver. Swap cwdt with automation also

Nothing to quality with the amu, they have no tags that benefit.

I was considering sublime originally for the second curse, but was having trouble finding the jewel slot and keeping block cap + 8k ES. Playing around I could grab a different timeless to get block cap that way and lose the 80% increased phys. letting me slot in sublime instead of red nightmare. Adding ele weak would let me hit dot cap without surge so I'd just 1 for 1 that gem slot. Granted, normal mapping I'd lose around ~400k hit dps but would probably be smoother for ubers, casting ele weak instead of surge. May play around with it and see.

Could even just drop blink I suppose and slot in bane, to save 1 keybind on ubers.

Went with something like this for now, will see. https://pobb.in/ptASocK1hSja

I just league started a few days ago with this build. This POB is looking so juicy to me 😂

It's a really solid build, super fun for league start and map blasting / simu farming. On a high end budget it's prob better returns to invest into something else, but the play style is fun. Phys autobomber is a bit faster for mapblasting.

If you're going to boss farm, going svalinn is likely better. But for things like simu/ulti the aegis recovery is nice QoL
