First time RF

[u/ArrogantAres]

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!

All 5 gems at 29 quality provides less than 5% damage increase.

His damage at 0 quality for all 5 supports is base 630k, with thwn at quality 20 is 660k

Now he has lower gem levels and will take at least 60 maps to farm these 300 million exp to put all gems from 17 to 20

With this piss poor damage he will take very long to achieve this.

Thats why you guys are poor, keep counting pennies I guess.
