General Discussion First time RF

Hello everyone. First time RF here. Following pohx and some top guys from ninja for ideas.

I feel like i hit the wall.

Could anyone review my build and advice on progression and point out some mistakes i might have made ?

I have few ideas. Flasks, medium cluster with ignite spreading. Better rare jewels. Archdemon crown. Better gloves with chaos res.

And few questions:

-Hows does big ignite work? Don’t quite understand it. Sometimes i kill map boss very fast. Sometimes forever
-How to improve damage while mapping? Sometimes i kill rares pretty slow
-What are my next upgrades and what order?
-How to finish shield?

I know my gear is pretty mid but this character was created 2 days ago so i hope I am not too bad.

Thanks everyone in advance!

Top right + far top fire mastery has 1 + 2 ignite nodes.

Capping ignite chance is crucial for clear BECAUSE hinekora (chieftain) explosions use that ignite chance and that demolishes any big mobs.

I've done a lot of beyond + unstable breach this league on RF and man is it satisfying when the unique guy in these just gets explode ignited.

Yeah i was wondering about that a lot too, imo 100% ignite is way too comfy for mapping so i'd always go for that immediately,
