Build Comment: Since I promised a Christmas color build a while ago I decided to post this FoI build in response to the recent FoI buffs instead of the Aether :damage_aether:/Chaos :damage_chaos: build I was originally planning. This is more of a vintage Christmas color build! Inspiration for the colors were from my wife’s collection of antique and vintage Christmas ornaments like these… :sunglasses:

Glass+Ball+Ornament

This GT was drafted a while ago and when I gave it a test drive, it turned out to be very comfy. With the 16% ADCtH built into FoI (and another 16% from WD%!) combined with 15/12 Inquisitor’s Seal plus the increased Racial Damage (and decreased damage taken!) to both Eldritch and Chthonic enemies, this build turned out to be one that can just sit in the Seal and get it’s :fire: on!

Doubling the turning rate and extending the cone range of Flames of Ignaffar was a really great change in the recent patch. The slower monster speed is definitely noticeable here too. Having the skeletons from the Revenant Devotion slow monsters on hit plus Word of Pain dropping total speed with the Gildam Arcanum Commendation makes the fights flow nicely. Before, the monsters would run around you jockeying for position and you could miss them with your cone. Now, the fights are less chaotic and you can burn them down quickly to easily move onto the next target! :muscle:

Itemization is pretty straight forward and the affixes for the Grava’Thul’s Legguards and Benn’Jahr’s Shoulderguards don’t even matter. Just get whatever you need for resistances and you can sacrifice some +% Health Augments to cover your bases.

#Flair is provided by building off of the Virtue’s Armor for the burgundy with etched gold color scheme combined with the Decree of Malmouth itself. To continue with this burgundy and gold color combo I used the Diviner’s Mantle and the Eastern Gloves. I liked the more muted Aether :damage_aether: coloration with the Decree so I opted to go with the ethereal Bound Wraith for the off-hand and the Spectral Crown for the helmet to match. Woooo!



Since 2025 is upon us, my next build will be all about :fireworks: to help ring in the New Year! :partying_face:
