Skill Tree
Current Lvl 70 Planned Lvl 90 Gear Set-up
Spoiler
Required Recommended Rares Build Explanation Flame Surge has massive base damage and good base crit chance (6%), at the price of AoE and no burning. Using Three Dragons, you can make it shock, linking added lightning will also make it freeze. Herald of Thunder has an important role applying assassin's mark and freezing. Q20 Added cold on Herald also adds a 10% freeze chance to HoT and the cold damage has a chance to burn. HoI will help by shattering and sometimes burning enemies, the massive shatter increases the effective area of the Flame Surge. Flame Surge's small Aoe is no longer a problem with 76% inc AoE from gear and passives (hit's off-screen top and bottom on my wide screen). While Flame Surge won't burn, the shock will add the 50% extra damage anyway (+25% from passive). In rare cases where you need even more damage a fire trap with AoE gem will cover most of the screen. Helping you do that extra 125% damage Current tooltip ~24k damage, ~33k with 7 charges (which are always up). Gem's not 20. Defense from AA and a freezing. Gem Set-up
