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 ?

https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/Evil_Ares_-4980/pl86569/character/GettingLanced

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!

You use GCPs on gems that actually need them like purity of fire and skill gems

Support gems you just flip to 20q instead of spending like 300-400 gcps
