managed to only die twice till merc a1 ship cave, those magical flicker mobs just ate me alive...any tips/tricks deal with high dmg flickers late game?

heres are my gears

Use summon skeletons paired with spell totem so there is a less chance of being hit.

Just a quick question about Discipline, why is it beneficial to run Discipline with EB, didnt that get changed so you don't actually get more energy shield than mana reserved? Anyhow sorry if I missed it in the thread somewhere but do not know the math behind this decision and was curious, thanks!

ehu, i thought the whole point of playing this build is to create some sort of a manly battle-witch, and not using no-brainer spells such as st+ss like other main-stream builds out there...plus isnt spammin summon skeletons kinda counterin the idea of using enduring cry+molten shell combo...?

i think it must has somethin to do with inner force plus other two 6% increased buff nodes combined 30% all together, but i havnt tested myself yet (currently runnin determination+clarity), and i also would like to know the result.

How do i get enough dex for projectile skills (fork, faster etc)

I am loving this build, thank you for the guide. Level 47 running Merciless Ledge, this build has easily been clearing zones 5+ levels above the whole way through.

Like Pohx says in his video, a 4L or better Searing Touch is the most important piece of this build. Quality Fireball is really nice to have, but for those of you who don't have or can't afford one, a Chance to Ignite support gem on Fireball worked at lower levels as a decent temp replacement until I found one.

Ever considered using Fire Traps to help deal with the reflect problem? I originally started using them because it fit the theme of the build, but it's so devastating to spam dual Fire Traps as well as Fireball. I've been toying with Conc Effect on them, but I'm not sold yet.

@Krit regarding flicker strike mobs.
Whenever I see flicker mobs in a map I always stay close to a wall, if you put your back to a wall they can't tele behind and dodge your FB's and mess you up.

Make sure to have one of these handy, surgeon and % don't matter much.


I prefer increased duration and faster casting for molten shell. You really use it defensively with this build, so when i need it up...i need it up ASAP.

Lasty

I see you have a 5link, you should try out Life Leech...i literally facetank 85% of maps. Heavy hitting phys mobs I have to kite juuust a bit.

You need to get the +30 DEX passive slots along the way... as he said that's just a template...

got that. was following his skill tree and didnt seem to find him put any dex passive nodes along the way till level 60.

His items were giving him +all atributes and +strength etc...

So i decided to try out this build. finally almost level 50 and im starting to have second thoughts on my build. Early levels the build is fun and all specially with 6 sock searing staff. I breeze through the game early levels.

Now upon reaching cruel act 2 and 3 im starting to notice its weakness. gear scales really bad on this build. i just bought an amulet that adds an extra 20% fire damage and it only made like 15-20 dps increase on my fireball ( LMP + FORK ). I'm still playing in cruel and i could only imagine how worse this will be when i start merciless and end game maps. specially without having cast speed and life steal for reflect? I dont even have life regen at my level. so im really concern about Survivability and Efficiency at end game.

Any thoughts? Can anyone convice me this build is viable end game? i mean its viable sure but not really efficient compare to others.
