Surely tiefling enh isnt the ONLY way to do fire stripping?

edit: I had checked beforehand for "fire stripping" "immunity stripping" immunity and fire on the wiki, and none came back with any results of use.

Anger of the noonday sun, 9th level spell for fire elemental form druids - 1st hit with a fire spell won't directly hurt an immune enemy but strip the immunity as a secondary effect & lasts longer than the tiefling one too. I use this approach on a rather fun tabaxi trailblazer druid 17/monk3 falconry build, relying on body of the sun to strip immunity of whatever i'm close to then the imbue (fire elly form grants it) dishes out a solid chunk of damage.. combine with reborn in fire from primal avatar & it's very effective.

Elemental savant sorcerers can do it for whatever their element is in while shifted into elemental form, but it's the capstone so is exclusively level 20+

Bombardier alchemists can do it for any element plus poison with tier 5 in that tree.

Henshin Mystic, not clear anymore to me where and where in that tree
I looked, couldn't find it there.

Looking at being an acolyte of the skin. With an enormous amount of fire damage coming, seems you are at a lose lose situation for all your pact damage? Unless of course you want to blow 15/80 points on tiefling :/

I thought one of the fire elementals in Haywires Foundry was being a bit flirtatious. That certainly qualifies.

The first core allows you to bypass 2 points of fire resistance per core in the tree, up to 12 with the capstone. Which is pretty terrible.

The Elemental Word enhancements also allow you to cause enemies to take +10% fire damage for a short while, but this does little to deal with absorption and nothing about immunity, so compared to other choices in this list, Henshin Mystic isn't a great way of getting around fire absorption.

The context is in light of trying out acolyte of the skin with soul eater as backup damage w/ slas should I get stuck with something resistant/immune/absorb.

Not sure how well it would work, because in an ideal world I would just burn it all down with evil fire...

I was thinking of trying a Qstaff druid/monk build doing fire dmg for this HC. This seems very interesting to me. Could you possibly tell me more in terms of feats and ench. trees approach?

Locks are just better off with acid or sonic aots not great for end game

Aots also loses the only good spells a fire lock has great for high skulls and raids Howl of terror and hurl through hell

For a full Warlock, Tiefling is the only option for removing fire immunity. Otherwise, you'd need at least 5 levels of another class.

https://ddowiki.com/page/Elemental_Resistance

If you play with a group regularly, you could see if someone else could go Alchemist, Druid, or Sorcerer and get fire immunity removal. Coordinating elements can be a very effective strategy. For example, Blightcaster and Alchemist can be built to remove both poison and acid immunity. Combine with various builds using those elements, and eventually Carrion Swarm from Primal Avatar, and you've got a fairly unstoppable group.

Don't really need stripping for acid locks just wk is a problem can swap to primal fire stance for that

Clay golems only mobs that heal from it that i've run into
