2.6 CI Ignite Flameblast by Waldgaist - very good starting Build and decent Shaper farmer

Hi. im new on this game and im learning somethings, im using your build and it is my first time using CI. I have a question, in your tree on the left of "mind barrier" on the top, you take some HP node in there, do you can answer me why? i really try to understand but i cannot.

Anyone done Hall of the Grandmasters with this build? Scared of trying

Did it on my first try. You can cheese it easy by killing them offscreen with your flameblast. Only thing what you have to watch out for is the last wave of each wing, the one with the stairs. You cant see them at all, so be prepared to get oneshotted. Just try and lure them out one by one. Oh, and you're gonna need more than 1 freeze immune flask probably.

I'm using the build, so far so good although I'm struggling to stay alive in events like Breaches.

I'm using the immortal call setup although I'm unsure how to gain any endurance charges that I can then use for temporary invulnerability.

Updated the Guide and added a Dual Curse Version. You can find the dual curse version in the gem setup and passive tree section also updated the gear section ;)

Thanks for updating the build :)

@mitch you dont have to get any endurance charges for it to work, its just for some slight burst prevention and nothing else.

hi i make me Lifebase Char to yours CI it´s pretty nice this Breaches with Stun to much for my Lifebase Char i hate this..

Really nice build, but the leveling section needs rework.

Bad advices for newbies and starting out in a new league.

Dont use fireball until you get firestorm. Use fire trap and freezing pulse, optionally spark for single target. Look at the vendors if they have a +1 sceptre or wand, or a 10% movespeed boots. Do the medicine chest quest for free quicksilver.

Second thing is, dont link your crafted +1 sceptre. Just check vendors from time to time for a 3L sceptre or wand (wand / sceptre doesnt matter early game anyway, the +1 and 3 link is important). DOnt waste currency, especially fuses, alchs, chaos.

Tip: Buy a flame totem gem, its really OP for single target damage (makes bosses like merveil so much easier). Also acts as a distraction, a pseudo decoy totem so to say.

Last thing: I wouldnt switch to flameblast as soon as you get it. Fire storm (AoE) + flame totem (single target) is awesome for leveling, flameblast feels very bad without a good amount of cast speed. Tip: use conc effect in firestorm after you get the 2 aoe clusters.

No offense is meant here, i just want to help :)

Excuse my noob question, but I am curious how you are gaining endurance charges for Immortal Call?

You don't. IC has a short base duration (0.7 seconds for me with lvl 20 inc. duration) and is mainly there to save you from getting killed by a lot of almost simultaneously hits, f.e. porcupines. You take the first 1-2 hits, get IC, get immune to the rest of the spikes from the pack.
