poe 3.6 synthesis molten strike juggernaut build guide - gems & links
the main setup for the molten strike juggernaut build is molten strike and its support gems. you can only get 4 or 5 links instead of 6, just omit the last support gem or gems in the chain.
recommended support gems: multistrike, ancestral call, elemental damage with attacks, concentrated effect, elemental focus or molten strike, multistrike, ancestral call and combustion.
elemental focus can grant a large amount of damage but disables molten strike's ability to ignite the targets. there is also an alternative setup, use combustion instead of elemental focus as in this setup we actually need to ignite mobs for the damage bonus provided by immolate. while this variant has slightly lower dps, we no longer need a 6-link chest piece and can use kaom's heart, which increases the health pool.
