Help with Fire Ball Templar build for HC!

Hello!

So yesterday i found a pretty good searing touch staff, so i decided to build a fireball templar.
I plan to use fireball with LMP and faster casting and using mostly armor + EnergyShield gear.

This is my build so far:

But the thing is i dont really know where to go next, maybe go up to the witch side while grabbing some life/defensive nodes on the way and eventually going for Eldrich battery too support the use of some auras. Or maybe taking some crit nodes aswell?

I would really appreciate some feedback and tips on building a fireball templar. Im playing on hardcore so i guess its important to get many life nodes.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe something like this? what do you think?

-You have no dex to support leveling up your lesser projectile gem

fixes that (+a bit more +Max HP)




a max build could look something like this:

--adding in lots of criticals and some spell damage and some HP

---104 dex is enough for level 18 LMP or level 18 GMP if you choose that route later on.

Ok nice! But what about going chance to ignite support gem for fireball instead of taking the crit nodes? and getting some burn damage or something instead?
You could go chance to ignite if you wanted, but crit isnt just for ignite...crits are crits...they are increased damage and since ignite is 33% of the damage dealt from the igniting blow over 4 seconds...the higher the base damage...the more it burns for.

So critting into an ignite gives you

Base spell damage + Critical Modifier + 33% ignition damage


Where just igniting is

Base spell damage + 33% ignite
My HC Temp is at around 40ish right now. I plan on running something like this. I'll grab BM if necessary, but at the moment I'm doing fine on the mana side of things.

Get a Searing Touch as soon as possible.
