[3.0]PewPewPews Official Cheap Firestorm Build - Perfect for Newcomers/SSF

hey can you pliz do a VIDEO GUIDE MATERIAL becus i am a new player to poe and alot of what u say is not understand for me as new player to the game if you can do some video that has all the impornent that we need.

i start and so far lvl 13 and i its all to mach infomation for some one new to this.

also if you can do a guide for a level up becus not all the skills can get in the start and i find myself hafe the time serch for skills to have for singel taget and stuff.


but the guide is relly good and informativ just not so newbie frindly tnx alot :)

2.7k life, 700 ES. I guess it is Izaro, which you have to fight 3 times. I tried my best to listen, but I can't hear him 'charge up' when casting. Maybe i'm going deaf. I did figure out what was going on though. Seems in cruel labyrinth final boss, you are magically teleported randomly on the screen/area. The map has saws and such and if you land on them, you die.
I beat him this time, seems I got lucky and got teleported without landing on the saws. Guess it's a luck game on that one. I don't remember ever being teleported before fighting those bosses.....

@inflictioNz: I've been working on a little guide video for a bit now. I plan to make it quite extensive, going into as many important details as possible.

This is what I have now, is this something you were expecting? or something less indept?

In general, I would appreciate some feedback, especially from the newer players, just to see if I'm heading into the right direction.

I am planning to make a multitude of smaller video's explaining different aspects, different chapters, different area's, etc etc. I'll also make video's on certain bosses as well, like Izaro and Atziri, just to call a few.
I plan to make the beginning quite comprehensive, while lowering the amount of information in the later video's. I aim for 5 - 8 min vid lenghts.

Anyways, I'm working on it :)

@computertech82: That teleport isn't as random as it might look. Watch Izaro, you will see him casting a green circle around himself every now and then(only during the third phase in Cruel and up). After a short time, everything standing in that circle will be teleported. If you have only done him on normal, well... this is something you can expect from the higher difficulties as well. Congrats on killing him though! It might sound strange, but I always found Merciless Izaro easier then Cruel, as the build is really coming together by the time you face him again.

Hey buddy , I am the biggest noob from PoE , started to play like 10 days ago for first time [ never played games like this ] I am coming from shooter games and League of Legends so this game is 101% new for me . First I started to play as an Archer but that build wasant so detalied , so I started to search for a very detalied build and I found this.So after 3 days on my archer i decided to switch on witch with fierstorm , as a noob in 7 days i did lvl 78 .. i did lab in normal / cruel and merciles from first try , never died there and that izaro is a joke..with maps again , no problems so far , highest map is a Tier 8 that i did without problems , tomorow i will give a try to a Tier 9. When i fight Bosses i switch increase area with controled destruction and my dps goes like for 2.5 to 3.8 (something like this) and is easy to deal with bosses.
With gear , well there is no problem as i use poetrade , i have all i need , at lvl 78 i have 3.6k HP / 1.2k ES and my res in merciles are around 200%.
So just wanted to let you know that this build is very very strong , imagine if i could do this without knowing anything .. what can a player that played to game can do.
Just want to ask you , after i make my talent tree as u made there , is a good idea to pick up that node with 30 dex ( i rlly have problems with dex , cant make my lighting golem higer in lvl because of this , i know i can switch my amulet but there isnt a very good one yet ) and also after that node with 30 dex if is ok to go after some sokets , a lot of places where u need to put 2 points into something and the 3rd point is for soket , is this a good idea ?
I know you have to read a lot , my english isnt good so sorry for my mistakes but i rlly want to say a big THANK YOU . You did an amazing job with this build , very good details and everything , u rock man !

PS: Can you please look my items and see if im on the right road ? I killed this forum / youtube / poe wiki and all i found about items and stuff like this.

Any upgrades on this gear? :D

@Appels_Zijn_Gezond

First time playing this game have played D1,2,3. Looking forward to the videos and learning this class using your build. I have no clue what to do so just running around killing! lol I guess that's what I should be doing... The starter videos are a great idea, I have yet to read everything about the build, was actually looking for a progression guide but maybe it's already in the guide. Thanks again for the build hopefully I can learn to understand it! This game seems pretty complicated for us newbs! I subscribed and liked the vid :) What reward should I go with in the town, magma orb? I like the idea of having some zombies take some dmg for me! Also how should I progress my skill points? ... maybe this stuff is already in the text guide lol!

@andy44d: There are two ways to get dex in this build. Either get it from gear, or get one or two 30+ dex nodes. It's completely fine for you to get them :)

As for your gear, it looks really good! That helmet has a great enchant! Did you craft it? Or did you buy it like that? Either way, great job on getting that one :) You could try to get some rings with higher life(70+)if you really want to upgrade something, but overall, it looks nice!

- Wait, you could also put an enchant on your boots. I really adore the life and mana leech after kill. Those are relatively easy to get, and will do a lot for you :)

@Velaurius: While it's nothing bad, you do lack a lot of life on your gear. You have quite a lot of uniques. In itself, nothing bad, but it does leave you little starved on life. Try to get some good rings with life to start off with(your current ones aren't all that special). Don't worry about losing some fire damage from the rings. Next, see if you can get an upgrade for your boots. Again. focus on life! Lastly, find an upgrade for your weapon. It's not bad, not bad at all really, but it's easy to get more spell damage.

Here are plenty of weapons that will massively increase your damage output - for less then a chaos :)

If you prefer to stay self found, try to find something with a high total of spelldamage + %fire damage(aim for 100+).

Nevertheless you're not badly geared at all, these are just possible upgrades :)

@StaticBalls: First off, thanks for your comment! I've been muling over whether the guide was too specific on certain parts. I even considered starting over, making it shorter and more compact. Your comment made me realize that the game is still way too complicated to be summarized within just a few minutes, so thanks :)

When you get to town, you can pick whatever you want. You can buy any other skillgem he offers from Nessa(second tab!), so if you didn't like your pick, you can buy another from her(for only 1 wisdom scroll which is barely nothing!) In the video, I'll be recommending Raise Zombie, just so you can experiment with it early. But it's far from a necessity :)

As for a leveling guide.. I did post a short leveling tree in the first post! I got it here for you :)





If you reach 87, you should have the final tree as planned above. From here, there are a few good points to pick up. I've crafted a 122p tree with several nodes you can pick up. It is also possible to pick up the jewel slot nodes to the left of Elementalist(templar area) or the one below Whispers of doom(dual curse node). Note that I also picked up the last ascendancy notes here. By now, you should be able to access and complete the final lab. Pick up the final remaining ascendancy, Paragon of Calamity or Pendulum of Destruction.

I did try a guide based on writing, but for numerous reasons, I stopped doing so(One of them was the forum limit of 10.000 characters/post. I often... exceeded it. Which was annoying :D)(Another was, because the game was getting a decent rework, I cba to update all the little details every time it happened.)

But here it is, quite unfinished, but the first few levels are explained there :) - also doesn't include anything labyrinth related, to make sure to look up everything about the trials before committing to that 'guide';P

Thx for your answer , i got that enchant ( i think is called like this ) when i did the lab with that skeleton after i defeated izaro [hope u get it, idk how to explain haha]. Also thx for advices , i will try to put more life on that rings and with dex i will figure out maybe one +30 dex node and some items .
I also droped a carcass jack , i will try to 6 soket + 6 links it as i like to farm and play to do something for myself by myself .. and to buy one is kinda expensive , anyway im not gona sell chaos or anything to do it .. ill just use what ill drop, maybe i will have some luck :D.
Have a nice day buddy , and thx again for everything you do .

hey tnx for the replay.

i mean that the guide for new player in poe need to be a do like.

in your guie ther is a lot of info and option to do and alternativ like the gem you can use a few way to gem but as new player we dont know the diffrent.

as a new player to poe i think the guide for us need to be like a to do list.

"you need to start a witch chercter go play up to lvl 5 and get the gem --- and then at lvl 12 get the firestorm after that at lvl 20 get .... somthing like this."

a guide that tell us what to do how to get to the end game after that any player start to feel and learn the game alone and will have some basic.

now your guide have a lot of info and i get lost and most of it didnt understand.
the first cher need to be just to reviw the game.

i saw thos video guide its look nice it give good info it can have few ajust for new player.

@Appels_Zijn_Gezond: Thanks! How did I miss that you even had it in the table of contents! I should know better by now to read the complete post before asking questions at 1AM in the morning. Thanks again for the guide I will give it a thorough reading next time.
