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.

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!

It does seem like people in this thread struggle with the english language. As stated a few times in this thread its a template... Meaning it is a basic build that you should alter and modify to your play style.

I am not struggling at all in Act 3 cruel and it is because I have taken this build at the staff only. My gear is tailored to how I want it. I haven't taken eldrich battery and i have geared chaos resistances and passivley taken +30str and +30agi to be able to use my gems and I have upped my cast speed. I do not use fork or lmp as yet as i do not see the point in needing 3 fireballs doing 30% less damage. Its much easier just to run around a group to make them run on top of each other and throw 2 or 3 fireballs to kill them all.

Build your build using this template as it is meant to be used.... a template...

you sir are trying hard to be a smart ass. 1st off english isnt my 1st language and i could really care less about my grammar etc..

You keep emphasizing its a template and I am using it as a template i have no idea what your trying to prove here.

What im worried is its viability end game. the damage scaling is poor and survivability isnt that all great. sustainability is also an issue. without having any kind of LoH and LL I'll be spending my time kiting + potting which is inefficient. if i am to modify this build to fix all that issue id rather find a different build to use as a template since i dont really see any benefits following this build.

I'm not trying hate on the build, i like the idea but i just dont see it working. then again its only my opinion and I'm only level 50. Hence why im posting here to see if anyone actually had success on this build. You being a smartass and a fanboy posting non sense doesnt really help much.

@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.
