Burning Discharge Build in Path of Exile

By Leo Jiang2017-09-19

In Path of Exile, the Burning Discharge build has got to be the most talkative of all the character builds if a high-level character has been decked out with the best Path of Exile Items due to its storied development and how much damage it can dish out on the enemy. This build has been changed quite a few, but the main idea has remained the same.

 

Discharge is an active skill that enables a player to unleash tons of elemental damage regardless of magical talent. Whether they're Frenzy Charges, Power Charges, or Endurance Charges gathered in combat, it is done through the powerful release of a character's built-up charges. You can make use of PoE Currency to increase it. The character build revolves around being able to maximize the damage brought about by this active skill. For farming and leveling, the best thing is that any character class can have its own discharge build.

Although offense is the reason for getting this build, defense is the foundation upon this build. The question lies in how charges are gained and how you survive while doing your thing with discharge, as it is a build that can be utilized by most classes. Sometimes PoE exalted orb is necessary. In order to get things going, one of the most popular variations is the Templar, which makes use of Endurance charges. To get most of what boosts your elemental damage and Endurance charges is your main goals in passive skills. Also, you should go for burning damage since you'll use fire to turn enemies into ash.

 

Due to differing play styles between players, there are lots of variations even to this Templar version of the build. For example, some may want to take Vaal Pact for the awesome life leech, but some may abscond due to its restriction of healing from flasks. Due to its effect of lowering enemy resistances, there is also some discussion regarding the taking of Elemental Equilibrium. Some may think that since they'll be one-shooting enemies anyway that this won't be necessary, but some do prefer taking this passive skill for its great effect that increases how much elemental damage that the enemies take from Discharge.

For this build, the good thing with using the Templar is that the Strength/Intelligence hybrid and you should focus on making for a good balance on offense and defense. Definitely it is much easier to keep a Templar alive with this build than a Witch that requires a bit more vigilance and micromanagement to stay with it. Although the damage is not the most that can be dished out with Discharge as with the Witch, this makes leveling up with this build a bit easier than with others. If you have good PoE Items to back it up, you can give most of them a run for their money.

 

When you want to make farming and leveling a breeze, once you hit your full stride, then take upon this fantastic build and see what you can be truly capable. If you want to read more poe news, please visit MmoGah.
