I'd like to share my experiences with this skill. Currently I am at T6-T7 maps, so technically still early map content.

The way I run this skill is with Pathfinder/Elementalist Ascendant, using Corrosive Elements notable from Large Cluster Jewel to inflict 30% exposure (since EC counts as a fire/cold/lightning skill).
From passives I have +70% flask charges gained with another +20% rolled on all three flasks via prefix, which prevents me from running out of charges in them.
Then I have Ice and Fire golem running around with Wrath aura socketed in Essence Worm.

As for support gems, I use Trinity, GMP, Faster Attacks and Elemental Damage with Attacks support with maybe Conc effect later slapped on once I get a 6L.
As I use mana stacking with MoM and The Agnostic for defense with Omeyocan and (Phase)Acrobatics for additional defense layer, I trigger Trinity via using Arcane Cloak which adds lightning damage equal to 14% mana spent to EC causing it to sometimes deal more lightning damage than fire, therefore triggering all three resonances.

Also one unique item that is very nice to use with EC, especially when you run all three flasks is https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/The_Taming


So far the build annihilates nearly everything in a matter of one-two hits, with the only exception being map bosses which take around 4-5 hits. As for league content, the only struggle I have is in Incursion due to low area of effect and Blight if I get multiple paths that do not overlap. Everything else is easy for me to do.

Ammm...

Why are u not taking point blank...?

Which auras are you guys using? Damage ones look pretty bad in my PoB. 50% auras give me less than 10% damage increase, Heralds are barely noticable.
I'm almost considering runing defensive auras instead. New Arcitc Armor gives nice freeze immunity.

I've also tried running Wrath + Herald of Thunder + Innervate + Arcane Cloak to see, is it possible to proc Trinity while using Frostferno. I think it's only possible either if you have tons of lightning damage in gear or Consuming Dark dagger in the offhand, preferebly both. Probably not worth all the investment.

Just Anger right now. I was going to run things through PoB and see if it was worth the mana - but haven't had the chance. I have Wave of Conviction apply exposure which seems to do more than the aura - but, it's still SOME damage, just maybe not worth 50% reserve.

Hi, I am having fun with concoction reaching t12 maps right now on a pathfinder using topaz and saphire flask.

I am proccing trinity with shieldcharge (need it for fortify anyway) and physical to lightning.
Since auras aren't that great I am only using herald of ice, grace and defiance banner.
I'm just using frostferno right now because its basically a cheap 5.5 link, In a 6-link I would probably go for gmp and lmp since all projectiles should be able to hit one target anyway. Not sure how to scale up area of effect without carcass jack.

Currently also thinking about deadeye instead of pathfinder, but I can't really play this weekend so I'm gonna wait it out a bit. I wonder if crit is the way to go for lategame content.

Also have you guys figured out if accuracy does anything for the explosions, I can't tell the difference between 90% and 100% hit chance.

Sapevich: for AoE

For durability reason due to the Point Blank playstyle I like for EC, I am running Flesh and Stone. Versatile Stance in the duelist area gives 25% Increases AoE while in Sand Stance. I have been using that instead of traveling everywhere.

In PoB, Frostferno always beat out every 6L combo I could think of (with maxed 21/23 gems). It makes Kaom's BP a potential health tool since we can avoid having a 6L at all (although you could use it for your auras or golems or what not).

I'm digging Skitterbots + Flesh and Stone + Precision.

None of the 50% auras do much for the damage, so 15% shock from skitters is usually more damage. Flesh and Stone pairs nicely with dodge/evasion for another layer of defense and enables the versatile stance node for 25% AOE.

If I could squeeze the mana, I'd try for either Herald of Ash or Herald of Ice to help clear up stragglers, or Defiance banner for a little more defense.

I'm sustaining permanent trinity simply with Wrath aura + Added lightning support on Explosive Concoction
