Hi, I have a few questions as I am actively looking for a functioning fireball (vaal fireball) build.

1) How does the build perform without the headhunter, seems quite a difference in performance?

2) In the video you seem to be using a different weapon, do you have a reason for the switch?

3) Do you tend to skip bosses on this build or does the fireball suffice on a 4-link against most bosses?

4) If you replace the HH with a decent belt, can you run Bisco's? I reckon this is a great build for currency farmer?

5) Is there a reason why Inquisitor is a preference over the once so beloved Elementalist?

6) What preferences do you have on the tree for the road to 70 --> 90? Which things on that 97 tree would you drop?

1) Just a little bit slower than with HH.

2) It's a Doryani's Catalyst with Singularity skin.


3) I am lvling with usual spell totem flameblast, if you mean lvling bosses. Against map bosses 4-link Fireball + 5-link Vaal Fireball will be enough.

4) Sure, it's a good option.

5) The reason why Inquisitor over Elementalist is here https://imgur.com/a/Am2yZ. In 3.0 double dipping was nerfed, so ignite proliferation from Elementalist (Beacon of Ruin) is pretty useless now.

I did some softcore modifications haHAA.
Level 73 at the time of the video.

With the skilltree/items i used feels like the old vfb only a bit slower (20%?). Single target w/o hh buffs is bad.
CONCLUSION : Very fun build to play if you have a lot of currency to waste on sextanted shores.
Perfect for the end of the league !

belt and amulet can be bisco's, rings and boots just rare with high HP and some resists.
Any thoughts on how to run this properly without VP in 3.1? X_X

Reflect is not problem anymore, so just do maps careful, but i dont tested it
No-one is selling The Tempest's Binding on POE TRADE... how essential is it for the build? What are other options?
