POHX IS BACK Inform Me If you Want Updates! Fire Witch! 18k+ Dps. ( Youtube Vid Included )

So have any of you tryed the Fireball, GMP, Chain, Firepen combo?

If yes, how is it? worse than the Fireball, Lmp, fork, firepen combo, or better?

So far, I'm level 16 and LOVING it - Granted I've got some good uniques to help me out and I'm still waiting to hit 18 to use the searing robe unique:



I've built a few other but never had this much fun. Thanks!!

oh yea that reminds me of what I wanted to ask.

Is Doedre's Tenure worth getting? 50% dmg increase is awesome and the reduced cast speed is somewhat negated by TSS itself plus any +cast speed on rings.

Also, shifting from more casts, less damage to less casts, more damage would help the huge mana cost of Fireball (I have FB + LMP + Pierce + Fire Pen and right now it costs 48 Mana and I am at lvl 27 LOL).

Thoughts?

What about the DEX needed for LMP or GMP? where do you get the dex from?

Can someone please answer this...

For myself I have gotten most of my dex from Items(rings/gloves for myself) and 1-2 of the +30 dex nodes as well(Which I might eventually spec out of depending on gear stats).

Personally I would do neither of those combos. GMP + Chain is going to drop your initial FB damage by a ton. Fork is just not great IMO. It hits things...sometimes. To random for my tastes. In both cases @I@ feel Elemental proliferation is a better investment than chain/fork. End game most of your damage really could/should? be coming from burn. Why have a billion little balls of low dps(and thus low burn DoT) flying around when you could have quality LMP/GMP doing a real nice bit of damage and elemental proliferation spreading your burn to all the surrounding mobs. It looks cool though? lol. I've seen some people doing Single fireball builds for a HUGE single ball of BOOM which makes for a Very high damage fire DoT + spread. I'd do at least LMP but the whole chain + GMP is to much lost I feel.

Early game it might be ok for the reasons you stated but do take into consideration safety. Faster casting means less time being rooted in place casting that firestorm. Even with cast speed I've had more than a time or two I wish I could move mid firestorm cast lol.

End game though I don't believe it is worth it. 50% spell damage sounds like a lot and it is. But the later and later game you get the higher your total spell damage will be. Bringing that 50% lower and lower of your total spell damage. You could have what? 350 - 400 spell/fire damage end game? Making that 50% basically a 12-14% bonus. The amount of cast speed you can can get is far lower making it IMO more valuable.

As far as mana costs you could take Fire pen out for now and just use flammability? You've got a lot on there for your level so you kinda have to live with some mana issues. Having blood magic has made things like that rather fun for me lol. My firestorm is around 100 per cast and firetrap is over.

Fun and effective build until about 70. After that you will get destroyed in maps and not be able to level. Good for farming Docks though.

I am only about level 30 and I am still very new to this game, but I had a few questions I hoped I could get answered.

I do not much care of EB, I play much more survival oriented, but I like fire so I went a head and made a spec using this one as a template.



I am opting right now to have both ES and HP nodes, with minimal fire damage on top of it. I was wondering you think this spec will do in Merciless and 70+ maps? As far as gems I will pretty much be running what the OP has, except for Fork possibly.

Just wanting some feedback on it.

I'm doing fine in maps, what exactly is killing you?

If you want to play defensive, then this is fine. However you're not going to need all the resist nodes. Also by skipping EB you're losing 60-90+ Mana regen per second at end game
if not more

I think people are mainly speculating purely off the skill tree, saying it doesn't have much defense and you would die. Not sure how many have actually tried this build in 70+ maps.

Just want to say fantastic build, happy I could find a template that I was able to edit enough to my own playstyle, thanks mate.

With reduced cost Clarity, is mana a huge issue for you in the end game? As I said I am only level 30 and this is my first caster so, any input.
