The Searing Touch

so came across these on a trade

any ideas on how to build with this?

I havent tried any complicated builds yet but....Fire Caster shadow with double strike? Can players get the burn aura that the burning miscreations use in Lunaris?

Stick fire traps into searing touch and one shot normal and blue mobs at least until act 1 cruel (where I am now).

Can players get the burn aura that the burning miscreations use in Lunaris?

You can use righteous fire, but it will burn yourself 70% faster as well. Maybe a fire trap build?

For searing touch: either go a fire trap build (the burning bonus should increase teh damage of the burning ground)
Or go for a fire crit caster, IMHO a Templar could work (the Arcane potency, Bloodthirst and Serpant stance clusters seem great for such a build and the templar can easily get +13% block chance with only 3 nodes and he can push the burning damage even further (Pyromaniac))

EDIT: and don't forget - if your searing touch has a high enough item lvl you should socket your main fire gems into it, because of the +2 to their lvl (which also allows lvl 22 gems)

qual FIREBALL
Chance to ignite
elemental Proliferation
fire pen(effects burn dmg twice)
+incrased area effect if u can get a 5 link

get the burn dmg nodes


most enemies are onehits,usally the whole Groups burn to death when u manage to ignite one in the middle. Very effective against enemies which are not running while buirning.

FIre ressistant enemies are quite bad, but with flammbility and fire pen it should be ok, mby getting the 2 curse node or a ring/the boots with an additional curse for double res reduce if thats not enough.

Very fun to Play, not the most effective build, but i like it^^

so if I go fire trap would I still go templar? and what if wanted to do shockwave totem?
