Overview
The “Codobomber” is a high-budget endgame evolution of Jungroan’s Cast-on-Dodge Ember Gemling. The build wraps an automated Ember Fusillade bomber around the Cast on Dodge mechanic, so the act of rolling through a pack is what fires your damage — leaving you free to focus entirely on movement and positioning. This particular update is an endgame snapshot rather than a starter, layering two headline upgrades on top of the earlier version: an Absent-base amulet crafted to grant a second, free Cast on Dodge skill, and the Rune Seeker’s Call wand that triples socketed rune effects.
The identity here is raw speed and screen-clearing density. The amulet roughly doubles clear capacity while adding dodge-roll distance for free, and the wand stacks +9 to all spell skills, huge spell crit, extra chaos damage, and guaranteed additional projectiles — numbers the creator describes as better than most mirror-tier weapons. Damage runs through fire-infused Ember explosions amplified by a Pom-the-Dreamer gloom-shrine layer, with five-mod crafted jewels and an Adorn endgame plan waiting at the very top.
This is unapologetically a luxury mapper: the creator calls it the fastest map-running character he has seen this patch, built and funded primarily through breach farming.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Among the fastest mapping setups in 0.5 — “pretty peak” for actually completing maps quickly
- Cast on Dodge automation means you play movement, not a damage rotation
- The dual Cast on Dodge trick (spirit gem + amulet) roughly doubles clear density for free
- Rune Seeker’s Call wand delivers near-mirror-tier stats at a fraction of mirror cost
- Scales effortlessly into breach printing for sustained currency
Cons
- Extreme entry cost — the wand alone is roughly a 150-divine investment; not a budget build
- The creator scrapped his own 10-divine variant as unsatisfying without Pom-the-Dreamer
- Crafting the amulet and gloves is intricate (fracture, desecrate, omen, catalyst steps)
- Single-target/bossing is an afterthought; this is built for clear, not pinnacle kills
Key Skills
- Ember Fusillade — the core fire damage engine, scaled to level 39 in this snapshot
- Cast on Dodge — run twice (spirit gem + amulet grant) so every dodge roll fires spells
- Breach farming loop — not a skill, but the build’s intended content and currency source
Gear & Anointments
The build is wand-based around Rune Seeker’s Call, loaded with high-value runes (Legacy of Lifespring, Asandre’s Rune of Wisdom for +9 spell skills, Girt Rune of Wildness, Perfect Vision crit rune, Phenomous Rune of Agony for chaos). The crafted Absent-base amulet grants the second Cast on Dodge plus +4 all spell skills and fire spell crit. Energy-shield gloves are desecrate-crafted for Arcane Surge on crit plus rarity, and Katagan’s Epiphany opens a jewel socket for the new five-mod crafted jewels that the creator expects to define endgame trees. Corrupted boots provide 36% faster dodge roll. Pom-the-Dreamer is treated as a hard requirement for the gloom-shrine explosion layer.
Endgame Notes
The stated ceiling is a full Adorn + five-mod-jewel transition that pushes the build toward the five-mirror range — daunting given how much slower PoE2 currency farming feels versus PoE1. For now the creator runs breach almost exclusively, enjoying both the raw drops and the bubblegum currency the tree produces.
