Conflagration in Path of Exile 3.27 is a strong skill for players who like steady damage and big explosions. It sticks arrows to enemies, then those arrows blow up and leave a burning DoT on targets. That mix of instant blast and lingering damage makes it great for clearing groups and wearing down bosses. Players who want to scale it for maps or bosses often invest some PoE 1 Currency to buy the right gear or to craft support gems that lift its power.

How Conflagration works in simple terms

Conflagration fires projectiles that land and stay in place for a short time. When you move near them or trigger them, each stuck arrow explodes. The explosion deals fire damage and applies a fire damage over time effect. Each explosion can place its own DoT stack, so many arrows mean many overlapping burns. The explosions can also chain to other stuck arrows if they are close enough, which makes tight packs burn very fast. This behavior is why you can clear screens with a few well-placed shots.

Key supports and Manaforged Arrows synergy

For a strong Conflagration setup, use supports that boost projectile and fire damage, and supports that raise DoT. Supports like Empower increase base damage, while supports that improve DoT make the lingering burn hit harder. Manaforged Arrows are useful because they let Conflagration interact with other effects that trigger on arrow use. If you link Conflagration to a Trigger or to Manaforged Arrows, you can make extra effects fire off when arrows land or explode. Keep the support links tight and test different combos until the skill feels smooth in action.

Gear priorities and using PoE 1 Currency well

You do not need a perfect set to try Conflagration, but good stats speed the build up. Look for high fire damage, projectile damage, and bonuses to DoT. Faster cast or attack speed helps you place arrows faster and trigger more explosions. Use PoE Currency to buy core pieces that fill big gaps—like a chest with high fire damage or a bow with good base projectile damage. When you craft, aim for mods that lift the skill’s main numbers rather than chasing rare vanity stats.

Pairing Conflagration with other skills

Conflagration works best when it has partners that make explosions bigger or that cover other roles. Add a fast movement skill so you can place arrows and step back to detonate them safely. Pair it with another AoE that can prime packs for bigger chain explosions. Elementalist or other ascendancies that help with burning or chaining make the playstyle cleaner: they let explosions spread and keep DoT stacks high without you needing exact timing every time.
