[2.6/3.1] Shaper down on budget 5-link - The Debuffing Pizza (Tri-Curse CI Elementalist Flameblast)

As hard as it is, sharing pizza is important! :D

Personally I did a test witch to level 55 or so this last week. I didn't really use flameblast much until I had some levels into flammability and normal lab finished. But it still seemes like firestoem was quicker for running through quests.

Might be totally different for me today since I will be leveling with one friend. 10stacks for bosses might be helpful!

Flameblast really shines once you take the prolif in ascendancy I think. After that you just nuke screens (well half screens after the aoe nerf) and the rest just die to the nuclear fallout :)

if im using it as a starter should i rather use left side of witch tree for spell dmg to get more dmg early or still go for the es nodes? es gear wont be that available early into league so i gonna play longer as a life character


can maybe someone post a life tree for a league start

The question is legit, though. Leveling this character, as a league starter, for the first 30 or so levels is holy batshit god-awful, so slow and one of the worst experiences I've had taking all those ES nodes and not the dmg / cast speed ones.
Just one thing I'm confused about in this guide: at the top of the "leveling"/"skill trees" section, it says:


Use Firestorm/Spark/Spell Totem for early stage. Only use Flameblast after you have got the Elemental Proliferation support gem (around late A4 Normal to A1 Cruel). After that everything should run smoothly.

But when I look at the gem setups, I don't see EP support gem linked to flameblast anywhere? Are you supposed to use it while leveling and swap it out later?
When you guys say to wait until ascendancy prolif before going FB - what mode arr you referring to? Beacon?

Leveling with 2 ashcaller and soon icetomb armor using self cast firestorm and fire totem as well on bosses. Level 30. Does this seem like a good approach? Thinking of testing fb on totem instead of fire totem later today though

You can start using FB-Elemental Prolif.-Control Destru from Cruel A1 or A2. After you have got the proliferation Ascendency point you can then swap the Ele. Prolif. gem for increase AOE for mapping.

Wouldnt that kinda throw away ele prolif with contr destru?

I thought you ignite only if you crit!? Or am i missing something?


And if OP maybe reads this .....PLZ DO MAPPING/AOE GEMS in gem section

Yeah I'm wondering this too. I don't really understand what gems exactly I should use.
Like if I only have a 4 link at the moment, what gems for flame blast? Or do I
need the 5 link for it to work?

I'm now in Cruel A1 and flameblast doesn't really seem to work....

EDIT: How important is a ele dmg sceptre for flameblast? I've only been using wands so far...
