I have been playing this to around 25 now and must say that the damage of fireballs in combination with the unique staff is just amazing.

So far I have been using Fireball + Fork + LMP.

However, I cannot seem to get comfortable with the Fork support gem. It seems that the forked projectiles usually wander off into the distance anyways, without really having any use.

When I am 31 I am planning to try out Chain. Any thoughts?

Also, I am thinking of trying out Pierce in the meantime, any thoughts on that?

Fork and Chain will lower dps and works rly bad with GMP fireball. I use Fireball with GMP, chance to ginite, added lighting damage and critical strike chance. But i think i'll skip chance to ignite on some faster casting or increaded critical dmg.

Well they lower the DPS on the tooltip, but the idea behind Chain is that each projectile can hit several targets multiple times, overall increasing the DPS.

But I will definitely try leaving Fork out, putting in some Fire Pen or Conc action.

But are there really no oppinions on Pierce at all? I know the explosion and therefore ignite damage will only be triggered on the first target, but the main source of damage is the impact damage anyway (at least for me).

Been enjoying this build a lot.

I'm currently level 60, on Hardcore, and was able to solo Brutus and Mervail on Merciless without issue. I've been grinding some Merciless Felshrine without issue at all.

I've made some slight changes to make me more survivable, although I definitely feel squishy. Rather than expend a lot of points in Strength in order to wear armour, I'm going to get ES/life gear.

I'm not sure where I am going to go next, maybe some more ES passives. I won't be going up to EB as I need my ES. I want to go damage, but know I shouldn't!

So far, this is my favorite witch build. I've tried a few from the forums and one or two of my own and didn't have as much fun playing until 30. This one, I think I'll keep. It's about time that there is more fire mages in this game.

So i have a Searing Touch 6s 5l what shoud i put in it?

Thinking of: Fireball + Fork + LMP + Fire pen + Chain? or what would ppl say?

I'm only use chance to ignite since on maps you can't face tank and it's more of a hit and run, You could opt out and go faster attacks, but you'll go oom unless you have insane gear or you're 70+ with mana nodes in

Oh you are running Pierce after all? How is it compared to Fork?

The problem with fork is that it's quite hard to get it to go where you would like at times, when running maps with swarms of mobs, I much prefer to just pierce them down

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