Guide: Fireball CI Curser - Proliferated Burning Critical Fire Damage | In-depth | SC |

Level 47 Atm :)
Farming Merciless Ledge and its sooo easy!

Best build iv played so far. If you have the staff at lvl 13 things just fly!
Im useing Fire trap ALOT! Drop one off on all groups and drop one fireball at them and they all just explode! Killed all bosses so far first try in a few hits only!

Farming maps should be really easy :D Thxc for good guide. I skiped your curse way on the tree and went for more armor and ES notes insted :)

Ok here is my progress so far

right now i'm level 49 and my current skill tree goes as follow:



I've near 1300 ES and 700+ hp with this gear



I know that my chest piece isn't good at all and i'm on the look for a new one
My resistance is garbage but i'll try to rush throw act 3 cruel and to start leveling and farming ledge in merciless.

DPS isn't bad but i still haven't awaken the potential of the burn build yet.

when will it be ok to make the switch to CI?
also i'm trying my best to raise critical chance but only have 18.7% ATM with all the gear and skills...don't know if i should start focusing on crit chance or ES nodes or what.

I've been working on a fire / CI build and the information here has been very helpful.

I'm also in possetion of two void battteries and a searing touch and have, so far at least, been specing crit and power charge node heavy. Although im bad at the math and am having trouble deciding what is best.

I'm still on the fence about many things (especially the curses) also the single fireball vs say, LMP. I assume you know a lot more about this than I do , is the single fireball clearly better in your mind than LMP? I've only a 5L chest at the moment and have been using LMP>FasterCasting>Power Charge on critical> the elemtntal proliferation seems hard for me to fully understand as the packs die so fast that there is no time for the fire to proliferate for anything but a moment?

Maybe you could talk me out of my above thinking and show me were I might be thinking about this wrong?

@TroySpiral: if you want high burning damage, gems like chain, lmp and gmp are useless. they reduce the impact damage and thats why you deal less burning damage. burning doesnt stack, so its useless using gmp and shoot lots of fireballs around you. 1 critical hit with a single fireball is the goal of this build, supported by 3 deadly curses.
if you want a high impact dmg fire witch, gems like lmp or gmp are interesting, because you can hit 1 monster with several fireballs with one cast, "shotgun" effect ;)



anyone here tried this?
firestorm
-faster casting
-power charge on critical
(-maybe increased duration)

with the build of crackmonster we already have 1 extra power charge and the other 2 nodes are right next to us. im testing this right now, maybe its worth the passives and the time to cast it.

I guess I was just thinking more generally, as I'm not really sure what I "want" exactly. I want, i suppose, whatever is most effective, not nesssarily anything in particular. (other than I do want to use a targeted shot fireball, rather than say a spell totem)

I was just wondering if maybe the "burn damage/curse" method is particularly BETTER than the impact "shotgun" method as you put it for a specific reason, or if both seem the same in your mind or one is better in a given situation.

My current spec:
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUAAuMEBwVbB2MHpREvEVAV1xZAHRQfAilPLJwsvy0fNsU22DdHO-FDY0VHRtdHBkkbSbJMs1AwVmNXK1j1XcZd8l8qX2pgbWNDZp5rrG0ZcFJw1XFNc1N0VXzOfVOCEIIegpuDOIV9hq6HZYhCiGuMNo9Gj_qZmprPnC2dY52AncSksacIpyuvt7UEtoa297cxu9bAUcBUwcXB88Lsw23Xhtgk2t3bXtvn3fPfsOL344TkIuWO5oHrY-vk7BjsVe988WzyHfLh-tI=

Just thinking out loud, it seems like the packs especially, often tend to die before the burn damage gets to run its full course, or maybe I'm just not doing hard enough content (or just missing something) I'm quite new. (Right now i'm heavily specced into power charge / crit nodes, but I dont mind respeccing I'm just trying to figure out what is best)



When I say better, i just mean faster clear time or DPS , not necessarily better from a utility standpoint.

Hi I from México :)

I decided try your build, because double totem spark is little bored.

And I want to know how do you see my gear, stats and DPS :)

Stats:


Gear:


Right now I'm looking for upgrade my ring, belt and shield :D

P.D.
Sorry for my english :$

Latest update level 59:

Things are going very smooth with this build until now.

This is where am i at the skill tree


as you see i'm making my way to the nullification in the shadow area because i must go CI soon or i won't even be able to go to the pyramid and later i'll go towards mind and matter in the Templar area which will happen easy after i respec these life nodes.

Don't know should i do mind and matter first or go towards the double hexes and mana path "need it for the purity aura"


This is my gear ATM:


i need resist gear i know and at least a good chest because the current one sucks.

But how do you see my progress so for?

finally i got my hands on a six linked! but with increased critical damage support gem i really have to worry about elemental reflect :(

anyone still using this build?
anything i might want to know before i start following the guide?

I'm following this build and just got to lvl 70.
My gear is not great so I also used firetrap and ice spear totem to level.
With tri-curse, higher crit it's evolving into the end game spec and is alot of fun.
