"If you do not have access to top-end items such as the ones listed in the guide, you're going to have a hard time pulling a build like this off. There are ways to make an effective fireball caster on a budget, that even a new player can do, but this is not the build for that. Sorry."

the build author posted that on page 14.

My first character has been a shotgun fireballer and I've been enjoying it so far near the end of normal. I'm thinking about how to continue if I don't have access to the best gear. Can you explain why this build would be more gear dependent than other CI builds and how to adjust for a poor person? Or are you saying that shotgun fireball in general is gear dependent?

Would I just drop the power charge stuff and some crit for energy shield and mana?

The reason why this build needs elite gear, is that Fireball has a fairly small area of damage. So you need to kill monsters in large mobs in 1 or 2 hits or else they will overwhelm you. To do that you need a lot of damage, and by Cruel Act 3 you will start feeling the pinch. If you don't have some great gear lined up it will be difficult to progress in Merciless. You may want to substitute Freezing Pulse until you have enough crit chance and enough ES, or possible substitute to Incinerate(although then all your crit gear would be useless until you switched back to Fireball).

Hi. Im 40lvl witch. So can u show passive skills for my 40lvl?
And how i can get some STR points for Fire Penetration?

This build is freaking amazing :D! I really love it.


6L
- Faster Casting (I preferred FC over the original, Faster Projectiles Speed).
- Lesser Multiple Projectiles (The Shotgun effects).
- Fireball (Make sure to get the Dragon Fireball Effect like he recommended).
- Life Leech
- Fire Penetration (I'm thinking of changing it to Critical DMG but the resist reduction is just too good to pass up).
- Critical Charge on Critical (very important!). Without it you will have 2k DPS with Fireball

Here is a video of Merciless Dominus Run (Portal->Kill Dominus), Fast Kill (8 seconds to kill the second form of Dominus). Everything is recorded in real time so I didn't speed it up at all.

I just finished act 2 merciless, gear is decent. I have some good pieces end game pieces and am working toward the rest with another character I use for farming.

My question though... am I doing something wrong? This is the most painful build I have ever played for clearing. Boss damage is awesome, I melt stuff but grinding is a nightmare, just incredibly slow. I use fireball primarily, but also have firetrap and firestorm. Is it just slow for clearing trash? Any advice?

I decided to use Increased Critical Damage now.

After experimenting with this build and used up to about approx. 1,500 chromes I've tried NOTE: all gems are 20/20 (Faster Projectile, Increased Critical Damage, Elemental Proliferation, Peirce and so on).
My favorite 6l for this build would have to be:





I choose to help out the bandit in Merciless to get the extra charge, making it a total of: 9
