Flameblast Prolif EB MoM AA Build

Hey there! Ive been asked to make a guide for my flameblast build, so i decided to share it. This may give some ideas to other blasters. Ive tested crit and CI aswell, this one works best of them and im very satisfied with it.

Why this build?
This will be a very fun build for those who like prolif burn for sick burning damage. Can 1-shot bosses. If you like multitasking for satisfying effect. Fast and tanky, takes some practise to play, but in skilled hands it shines. A good change of pace from my CI dagger crit flicker shadow (an opposite if i dare to say). Nice combination of different game mechanics.

How it works:

I focus on getting best possible cast speed, aoe and damage for blast. Elemental Equilibrium (possibly shock aswell) and curse monsters, everything vaporizes with proliferation. Flameblast need fairly good mana regen to cast, so Eldritch Battery, Arctic Armour Mind over Matter works well with it, making it a tanky character. high fire res + AA makes it it very resistant to reflect. Casting Arc totem for EE + shock prolif and elemental weakness curse makes monsters easier to kill, even with curse immune and other map mods. Arc totem keeps triggering EE, you can blast at will and if you want play carefully, let your totem explore and tank the first hits while you cast flameblast.
Lastly, i have RF for fun factor + speedy rampaging massacre!

Why only 35% base ignite?
Although belt gives extra 10% while flask is active, it still isnt much in total. Idea here
is that with good aoe and cast speed, you will hit 3+ mobs at once and will ignite at least
1 of them, which is enough. Sometimes you need about 3 hits to ignite a boss or single
mob, but then it only takes 1.2sec for 10 stacks and that is a hard hit, when it ignites it kills. Usually bosses are surrounded by adds or boss summons adds, hit them all and
youll get ignites going. I used to use flammability for extra ignite % but now i dont find i need it.




How to get started

Get yourself 4-5L searing touch(or doryani scepters if you can afford it) and cloak of defiance. Use life leech gem when you dont have good pieces and have trouble surviving. I was doing 74s with 4L searing with only 1% leech from dory belt in ambush, but its more fun to play recklessly, so get some good gear:). Faster casting or spell echo as 5L and empower as 6L. Try t get good life, mana/es, mana regen and resist first to use highest possible AA. Use molten shell with leech. Later try getting cast speed, spell damage and armor on gear. Endurance charges work well with AA, this build doesnt get much armor, but good flask management helps alot. As i said, very microintensive build, one of the charms.










Tactics:
General:
Molten shell is great for extra defence and source of good damage, keep it active. Arc totem, curse or both, then flameblast. Cast speed is good so go nuts. I tend to use less molten lately because im tanky, but sometimes its really helpful, like in temporal chains maps and rhoas, devourers etc. Lighting warp for good mobility.
Reflect:
Ruby flasks recommended if you want large blast. Small blast wont go through resists and AA and still clears well with prolif. I have 96% fire res with flask up. Dont do refl and -max together!
Bosses:
Mobility and dps, a winning combination.
Half/No Regen:
Half regen maps are easily doable if you keep your distance and dont use AA. Can use AA and only move by warping, AA without empower even. Dont do no regen maps, u could survive, but not worth the risk/trouble (i did some no regen with group, had to be careful, 2x lavianga flasks were very very handy).
Righteous Fire:
Can use this to nuke down bosses and stuff, fast. i have healing flask with dispel burn effect and 2 ruby flasks with run speed to survive RF. Will still degen life, but leech will make it manageable. Only issue i find is that prolif kills so fast that its hard to find stuff to leech from. Its frenzy period, quite fun. The fact that you can easily die if your multitasking skills are lacking means that you race to keep getting flask charges and leeching, results in fast clear with a wish that there would be more to kill :D


Any questions?
