[2.6/3.1] Shaper down on budget 5-link - The Debuffing Pizza (Tri-Curse CI Elementalist Flameblast)
" Did you take CI too early? What amount of ES do you have? I didn't swap until 75+ and I ended up with around 6500 ES I believe. Now up to 7700 with mediocre ES pieces. |

This thing makes a huge difference guys. I was playing without it till now but then i got lucky and crafted this. Now with 4L, its all free FB's. My mana pool doesn't move at all. 7.5k ES, 2k tooltip dps with 4L. lvl 78 Pretty absurd dmg even now. But survival is a bit tricky if you aren't familiar with this kind of builds like me. I used to play VP/Life Leech builds till now. Last edited by makingmericagreatagain#2999 on Mar 6, 2017, 8:56:45 AM

Same here on survivability. I rarely die to small damage..bleeds...etc. It is only big damage from buffed up beyond bosses or invasion bosses. As in 1shot or usually I'm fine lol. Will take some more time to get used to for sure.
I knew I shoulda asked about the ring ealier! But I will get one and it should drop my fb cast to 9 or 10 from 17. I think my mana pool is 170 to 180ish with temp chains and discipline running. Does that seem a bit low? |

" Yes. Elreon rings are important. You can even use two Elreon rings if mana is a big issue for you. You don't need to touch the curse setup (keep tri curse setup). When the trashes are far away they have two offensive curses on them. When they get closer one of the curse, the one that is far away from the OoS on the 4-link (or the closer one, forgot the exact setup atm...Please help confirm this. ) will be replaced by TC. You won't feel losing too much DPS if you are skillful enough. :D Last edited by loonger#5545 on Mar 6, 2017, 9:48:11 AM

Lurking this thread for a while, playing this build for 3 days now, first time playing a witch
Was destroying everything with firestorm, I've switched to FB but now it feels strange, don't have enought mana to cast it (make the bigger FB) even with clarity. If you guys can help a newbie out, please check my character and see if I can change somethings so that it doesn't fell clunky playing it. Atm i'm with: Blasphemy+TC, Clarity, Artic Armor. OP says that I don't need to spam FB but every new enemy of the pack i need to cast FB again and it takes a while to cast FB aswell I found myself casting it over and over to destroy packs. Dmg is very good tho, killed malachai way faster than my previous build (Scion CA) Maybe I didn't get the play style right. Edit: Oh and if someone can explain to me what you guys mean when u say "FB Stacks" or "Pizza Stacks" I would be glad. Last edited by marquesini#5178 on Mar 6, 2017, 10:09:20 AM

" You have too many auras. Remove Arctic Armor. Maybe even Blasphemy + TC. You don't have the right curse setup for orb of storms. Orb of storms - curse on hit - flammability. You are missing ignite on Flameblast link. Check ur ignite % u need it pretty high (70+%) for proliferation to be good. Imo stay with Firestorm until you have done normal and cruel lab. Edit: Stacks = If u look at ur top left corner when u hold down Flameblast you will se it go up to 10. Thats when you release if its a boss. Last edited by snyft#6998 on Mar 6, 2017, 10:17:28 AM

<3 snyft. Beat me to it as I typed on my phone!
You have too many auras running with clarity, arctic armour and temp chains. How much mana do you even have left? Try running with curse on hit linked flammability and ele weakness if you can run two curses (ring or passive). Just eliminate things that reserve so much mana initially until you have the other items to support it. Discipline and one curse as an aura is how the OP has set this up. The other two curses are from CoH+OOS. Fb stacks or pizza stacks is the stack number of flame blast when you channel it. You can see the number climb in the upper left while channeling. Trash mobs barely need any stacks while you will hit bosses with a 10 stack. Last edited by teebeewhy#7433 on Mar 6, 2017, 10:24:16 AM

" Maybe. I spec'd back out of CI for now. I think I need the Eleron ring to help with mana issues as well. I'll stick with it for now... Last edited by rickpollock#7751 on Mar 6, 2017, 10:54:23 AM
