Lost my level 92 incinerator in beyond to 100% extra dmg as lightning plateau.

I was shiftcasting as per usual, with the brain semi afk, when a wild rare CB bear appears in edge of the screen, obviously i get 20 stacks instantly but since i leech so much i dont even notice until the mob is dead, the degen was so fast that i panicked, i was still holding shift when the rare died, and in panick i hit the TAB button, and im playing in steam, as you know this brings out the steam overlay, while im degening in game, before i could shift+TAB again, i was dead, i chuckled cause i knew i was eventually gonna die like that, not necesarily to steam overlay, but to a CB mob

Incinerator just gets too boring to pay attention 100% of the time for that damn CB rare that may screw you up

So advice for new incinerators in Beyond/HC.

1. If you play in steam, rebind the shift+TAB overlay keybind, just ... do it
2. Dont go shiftcasting AFK in extra dmg maps even if they are faceroll, theres just that slime chance that CB rare will pop and screw you over.
3. If you play for long periods of time, CB rares WILL catch you offguard, you might think "oh this guy is retarded you just have to pay attention", but when you chain 20 maps without seeing one, facetanking even the hardest beyond bosses in level 78 maps, without ever dying before, because ur in HC league. TRUST. ME. Those fuckers will give you a heart attack, cause is litearlly the only thing that deals any significant dmg to you, and since you're shiftcasting everything, you CANT check rare mods, unless you want to cut your clear speed in half.
4. Pay attention to your debuffs in extra dmg maps, specially extra elemental dmg ones.
5. Pay extra attention to your debuffs in extra dmg maps, specially extra elemental dmg ones.

Don't listen to the L2P comments, CB is the bane and only source of heart attacks for an incinerator, at least a properly built one.

Peace.

Your fault for not checking the rare's mods. You were not paying attention, you allude to this many times throughout your paragraph. Extra ele has no effect on CB. Its not hard to press panicked / seething / staunching flask, you gotta do it once and then kill the CB rare with another skill. CB doesnt kill you in 0.5 secs. Stop blaming the game design. Tired of CB, reflect, lightning thorns QQ

you guys are missing my point, for example why should a heavy life regen / leech 2H character with 1 attack per second be safer vs corrupting blood than a CI witch using GMP freeze pulse? why isn't it made equally difficult for all builds, like for example "when you hit a mob with corrupting blood, you take a set amount of bleed damage for 3 seconds. Hitting the mob again resets the duration"

I refuse to believe I just read this

I am honestly curious, when people are saying they died instantly to Corrupted Blood, how many stacks are they getting? 10, 20, 30+ ?

You completely missed the point of my post, i was warning HC incinerators of wahts gonna happen to you, cause it is, you will play a lot of maps and your attention will drop at certain points, it just happens, because we are fucking humans, i'm not an automated script, i didn't say it wasnt my fault, you are just stirring up shit for no reason, and being condescending when you probably never played an incinerator before, which is really fucking annoying to be honest.

EDIT: extra ele dmg in maps does affect CB degen, i'm gonna take my experience in countless maps over the opinion of some random nobody no offense.

EDIT 2: All the information you need about CB: http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/2b6czx/psa_corrupting_blood/ So you can inform yourself before making ignorant comments. I don't care if CB is good design or not, i just deal with it and warn other incinerators, that if you're playing damage mods map, be extra careful or you will die, i don't know if you ever experienced a extra ele dmg + substantial physical dmg increase rare, throw in a hexfont rare cursing you with vulnerability and you're fucking done in less than a blink when you stop leeching.

Why do you think they changed the chaos damage over time map mod to desecrated ground? Because it was out of control for hybrid characters. The same applies with corrupting blood to low recovery + high attack / cast speed builds. It really is out of control

Why is "No regen" map mod is only hard for regen based characters?! GGG, please, make it equally hard for everyone!

Why does desacreted ground mod doesn't work on CI?! GGG, please, balance!

Why does... <almost every other map mod>

The list goes on. That is the whole point.
You go one build, some things are harder, some things are easier. Got it? Good :)

People can choose which map mods they do so they can ignore ones that don't fit their build, everybody will run into corrupting blood no matter what. Especially if you're chaining maps for a decent period of time, you're not going to spend time checking every single rare monster for corrupting blood. Some even come out of the ground as zombies or jump in off screen as leapers, and in beyond, they can come up in a beyond pack, which means every player WILL hit into one, and with the builds I was reffering to, they should have more than a sliver of a second to master their 1 flask button
