Totally worth it. It's a nice defensive alternative to the Infernal Mantle.

..

So, I'm in the Open Beta now. Got my hands on an incinerate gem. And while the gem has roughly 63% more damage now, it also has reduced damage effectiveness. From 30% to 10%. On top of that, the mana costs are higher now.

It's clear that incinerate needs to be build different now. I am messing around a bit with the gems, but I don't really know how to feel about these changes. Maybe coupled with an unique that adds an extra projectile, and fire pen for some high fire damage or something? The whole warping around seems pointless now, so it's more of a stand still and fire mechanic now.

Not sure if that's to my liking.

Well, who knows what will change after the beta!

This guide is not going to be updated for the 2.0 release

All projectiles now behave like arrows. Multiple projectiles emitted at exactly the same time can no longer hit the same target..

This is the end of everything this guide stands for.

I do not know how incinerate will be afterwards, I imagine it will still be very strong if it gets some buffs and stuff, but that is not what this guide is about. This guide is about the shotgun power of Incinerate. The lightning warp, the LMP/GMP, the damage mitigation. They are all build around incinerate being that close range caster. Without those things, incinerate needs to be played different, maybe as a longer range caster or...?

And then there are the changes to EB. This means we won't be able to run AA as it is right now. And who knows what else will get changed.

No matter how you will play it afterwards, after the next patch, this guide will be dead. I don't see the use of refitting the current guide into something new.


This guide has been loads of fun, both in building, playing, tweaking, and writing. I'm sad to say that this is the end - even though it might have been ended somewhere in 1.3 for me - but it might be for the better maybe.


Path of Exile is entering 2.0. So it's only natural that all from 1.0 is becoming obsolete. I am not angry or anything, just a bit sad that I have to say goodbye to a friend who brought me a lot of pleasure in this game.

And somewhere, I'm also excited. Because there will be a new game to be explored. And who knows what gem I might find in that game ;)
