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

Oh lord I miss this build, any chance for a revival with the new combustion/ deadly ailments/ ignite prolif gems?

I think flameblast can come back with buff to dmg, and changing in ignite, what you think about that?

I would really like to play this build in 3.3. Do you guys think that this could be viable now due to changes to flameblast and ignite? Does Vaal Flameblast give any buffs to this build?

Flameblast will now work perfectly. For reference you can check demigod youtube , i think hes gonna play one at start..

Hopefully some player with more experience then i writing guide will post one up.

Only issue with demi's build is his links are garbage if you're mostly trying to scale the ignite damage.

I'm playing demi's build at the moment. Can you tell me how are his links bad exactly? What changes should be done?

Too bad there isn't really any self-cast flameblast builds updated for 3.3 here in the forums... :/

I'm attempting something similar to this build right now and it feels great. Ignite is dealing a ton of damage and vaal flameblast scales it a LOT.

Take a loot at my profile. It should give you some ideas to get started.

Why do you use Proliferation support gem if you have Beacon of ruin? Wouldn't some other gem give more benefit?

Beacon of Ruin is still useful to proliferate shock and chill. I chose ignite prolif mostly because of the More multiplier it provides and the staff grants it +3 (21 radius/42% more). The increased radius is convenient, so I dont need increased AOE to clear larger packs, which also means I cast flameblast less often.

Swift Affliction would probably be the best replacement, but for now I decided to have it as my 6th link when I get it.

If you guys looking for a self-cast flameblast build. Made this build myself, pretty solid clear speed.
