Tips

 * Getting multiple in conjunction with  can help Artificer deal massive amounts of damage to bosses or common enemies alike.
 * Flamethrower has a Proc Coefficient of 1.0, allowing it to quickly apply item effects such as and  multiple times; stacking these items will allow you to deal huge bursts of damage.
 * and a are good items to have, since you won't have to worry about cool downs on your attacks.
 * Alternatively, just getting one will put cooldown of Articer's Primary skill to 0.5s, and one more will allow her to use the Secondary skill very rapidly. But this also makes it extremely unlikely for her to trigger any on-hit effects unless they can be guaranteed, like bleed with seven Tri-Tip Daggers. Negative luck of Purity can be negated with, but given how rare it is, on Purity build it might be best to just disregard all on-hit effects you can't guarantee, and instead go for items like  and  which have guaranteed procs.
 * Higher Attack Speed will increase the speed of all attack animations and increases the charge speed of Charged Nano-Bomb, however, it does not affect the duration nor the tickrate of Flamethrower.
 * Using Artificer's secondary, utility or sprinting will immediately cancel Flamethrower.
 * While initiating the charge up will cancel sprint, sprinting while charging a Charged Nano-Bomb will not cancel the charge and she will be able to fully charge and launch the attack without breaking sprint.
