[2.1] HeaT's CoC CI Witch FIREFURY (Fireball & Magma Orb) Build
|
Hardcore Talisman Build - CI CoC
Triggering Fireball + Magma Orb with Infernal Mantle unique chest piece. This is not a beginners build and doesn't become good until you can secure a 6L. Overall if I were to rank it I would give it a 7/10. Lowering the score because single target damage is just average, cumbersome in a 5L, requires advanced knowledge/CI transition/expensive so ease of use is low.
Pros and Cons
Pros +A blast to play +Descent ES pool +Bypasses the start-up mechanic of ES with ZO +Makes use of talisman amulets +Can tackle end game maps and bosses +Decent clear speed +All the fire covering the screen looks cool? Cons -Doesn't feel effective or smooth with only a 5L -Party play with only a 5L is especially ineffective -Heavy on your PC, low FPS, exacerbated in party play -Single target damage could be better -Expensive -Not a beginners build

Defense  Offense 
Gear & Links
General Info The focus for gear on a Ci CoC character is high ES gear, Accuracy, resistances, intelligence, crit chance, crit multiplier. You will see a mix of these stats throughout my gear. Helm This helm set me back 1ex. It has accuracy, almost 400es, and int which further increases ES. Weapon High local crit, high spell, crit chance for spells are probably the most important for a weapon, followed by attack speed then accuracy. The +1 is a nice addition which get's utilized by several gems. Ring 1 Crit, accuracy, resistances. Prefix open for a roll % ES on the ring. Gloves These gloves are strong because they have such a high accuracy roll, the ES roll is decent, but the high int helps make up the fact that the ES roll could be better. A nice tier 1 resist and some mana never helps. Gloves is a good item base to seek a high accuracy roll. Chest Set me back 9.5ex. Infernal Mantle is not a must, but it provides a nice synergy for fire builds, and in terms of DPS output probably that best? I am also a huge fan of the unique and its design. There are other options, whether they are better is personal, for example you could use a 6L super high ES chest and more than likely have 13k+ ES, which in turn will also provide more regen from ZO. Ff you prefer that defense, then it's is a better option. You would also have more aura options if you dropped Infernal. For the majority of the build I used a 650+ ES 5L chest, because it took a long time to acquire the currency for 6L mantle, but once I did the DPS and clear speed was night and day. Belt High ES and Res rolls for the belt. I feel the belt slot is a good opportunity to stack resists. High tier 1 rolls on a chain base are not as expensive as other belts. I don't quite remember how much I payed for this belt but I want to say somewhere between 8-12c. Ammy1 I had to switch to this amulet when I made the transition into infernal mantle because I needed the resists. To stay, capped/overcapped. Ring 2 This ring is decent, but the resists really prevented me in finding an alternative. Upgrades were nominal and rather expensive. I was going to reroll the %ES when I got a chance. Boots Rainbowstride are a nice easy option for CI builds and they are not too expensive. Shield The shield could use an upgrade because the base is useless, however an upgrade was quite expensive 2ex+ and I wanted to save the currency for 6L Mantle. Never got around to upgrading. %Spell, spell crit chance, high ES are optimal on shields. Ammy2 This is what I used for the majority of the build when I did not have Infernal Mantle equipped. The 2 implicits both synergize and multiplier is a nice damage mod.

interesting build. Is Infernal Mantle a must? Is there a better option? I am little unsure if this is the best fit for the build or not though it does come with nice mods that compliments fire skills. Also for weapon do you recommend wand over dagger? wouldn't dagger be a better option for crit chance and attack speed for barrage?
Let me know your thoughts on optimal gears with much currencies available. I would like to try this one out, I will look forward to your thoughts Thanks! |

" it's irrelevant what the character class is, it's more important what the actual BUILD is. in this case it's a build that utilizes barrage, an attack that benefits from accuracy and attackspeed, and crit chance which benefits from accuracy 2 fold, the initial hit and the crit confirmation. so for this build yes it's important. -HeaT youtube.com/heatfury

" what are the most important mods for the wand to look for? i was thinking high spell dmg, high local crit, crit chance for spells and accuracy. I also thought Attack speed would be nice but wasnt sure. let me know what to look at |

Did you try chain instead of GMP? The volley fire adds a few extra shots, too bad you can only use one though.
Could be fun anyways. Last edited by mac2monster#3365 on Feb 21, 2016, 2:47:00 PM
