[1.0.4] CI Flameblast/Infernal Mantle Burning Witch - updated! farm 73map with friendly gears

Someone said this build is just funny and it didn't seem to farm high level maps. Today, i will show this build can do it and use the friendly gears. :)

You can see the damage is pretty good and my flameblast gem is only lv18. I killed 73 map boss by one hit. If i didn't pop the second hit and the boss would still die on burning damage.(burning duration is 6.6 sec)
My gears are very normal and it's not difficult to get them. The 6L infernal mantle is only a gear over 2ex. I must say 5L isn't bad, too. And it's about 3ex in SC atm. If you felt your damage have been very good, you can also use ar/es or es chest.

PS. The legacy rainbowstide only offered more 12% all ele resistance than a new rainbowstride. You can buy the new version and it is about 1-2 ex.

My flameblast witch is very similar to what you are playing.

I do have 15 points left to play around with after this start. I will likely play around with EE as your math seems to prove its usefulness, and then take either more damage or ES depended on game play.

On the differences in our builds I have a few questions.

Do you feel zealots oath is worth the 6 points it takes to get 2% ES regen per second?

How much additional ES do you get from the 5 points you take for energy shield on shield?

You also seem to have a high mana pool but rarely dip into it. I took 8 points into sovereignty and influence for reduced mana reservation and aura buff and plan on running additional auras. I'm also sitting 3 points from inner force which I may play around with. I feel that as long as you have a good mana regen you do not need much mana to sustain. Thoughts?

Is there a reason you don't use trap with cold snap? Trap - cold snap - ele proliferation - increased AoE?

Oh yeah was gonna mention that too now,

I've been playing around with ST or no ST and found out that shield and wand is just the way to go..

bought myself a globe and sweet wand.. as you said once you get mantle , there's no need for another fire item :)

I thought it's worthy. The interval every falmeblast is the longer than the other builds. If you owned es regen, that would make you safer. When you are in party, you could also get 1.65-2% es regen from vitality.

How much additional ES do you get from the 5 points you take for energy shield on shield?

In first video:
My base ES
= 465(helmet) + 496(chest) + 580(shield) + 146(gloves) + 158(boots) + 29(ring) + 34(belt)
= 1908

6%ES = 114.48
30% ES from shield = 174 = 9.12%ES

In second video:
My base ES
= 270(helmet) + 496(chest) + 305(shield) + 93(gloves) + 158(boots) + 29(ring) + 34(belt)
= 1385

6%ES = 83.1
30% ES from shield = 91.5 = 6.61%

You can analyse it's the better or worse to pick 30% ES from shield.

Your idea was viable. :)

Still loving the build just gets better as the gems level up! I was thinking like many others that Rathpith was the way to go and it sure is! The spell block is great and spell-damage is excellent too. I am also running lightning warp with reduced duration and faster casting for more mobility seems important for the build! Cold Snap for traps is a definite must! Way better than added cold damage or empower! I dropped down a little ES with rathpith but I still have the energy shield on energy shield node waiting for me then ill be taking More Regen nodes after that leading to cast speed and more ES ect. What are thoughts on running Purity of Fire? Also why Tempest Shield? IO don't see a reason for it? Updated gear on Domination.



Would love to hear thoughts from everyone and continue this discussion I think this build can be insanely good for end game the most fun I have had across 4 70+ Characters!

Does it work as Culler? Im bored from Summoner and Totem Stuff.

Would The Searing Touch not have a place in this build?

Youd loose out on allot of ES with SEaring touch unless you have a GG ES rare armor Shield and wand is better because it gives higher cast speed aswell
