[2.6/3.1] Shaper down on budget 5-link - The Debuffing Pizza (Tri-Curse CI Elementalist Flameblast)

How important is beacon and conflux? I'm runing liege with might / anima / 2x eminence
And mastermind, paragon cwc arctic breath + flameblast.

Very nice build, i tried it and i'm having a lot of fun with it. Oneshooting uber Izaro is a pleasure :)

I just made a little change to the build. I'm not using Doryani's Catalyst but The Dark Seer. It fixes any mana problems and allows me to skip all mana nodes to get some damage nodes. Then my damage tooltip is around 300 less than my damage with Catalyst, but i don't have to worry anymore about mana and it's a bit more tanky (killing 10 mobs gives almost 1k ES).
So it makes me a little less powerfull (even if i can reach more than 7k dmg tooltip) but much easier to play. :)

Breach Lords are no problem at all.

Just time your skills right and go for it.
Downed all of them myself with this build on first try and ran about 40ish Lord-runs until now

Would it be viable to use this setup with a spell totem for more survivability?

You only need 6 more nodes to get to ancestal bond, and on a 6-link you could use all the normal 5link gems everyone's using.

Everything else could stay the same, no?

The damage of totem will be much lower. Besides, self cast FB is much more fun IMO. :)

I'm not so sure if you lose a lot of damage, when you have two totems up. I changed the tree a little bit.

Everything looks almost the same(most notable nodes and all but 1 jewel slots) and only sanctity is lost(which we can pick up 1 level later).

Tree is for the same level as OP posted.

Totem has an inherent "less damage" tag which is double dipping. One more initial hit from the extra totem can't really make up the lose of less ignite damage. Anyway, welcome to try and share the result.

So far:

Poorjoy's asylum: was a bit slow but very safe, since totems died pretty fast. Boss died in 1 hit with burn.

Atziri: was good, double vaals died in 1 hit each with burn. Trio was fine, until one of them was left, then he kept killing totems too easily. But once they hit he died as well. Atziri was a bit tricky, again because of the totem durability, but wasn't too hard.

Hall of grandmasters: kills whatever it hits, but some mobs move fast so it takes a while for the totems to catch them. That's pretty much how it went until I faced la char. Oneshots my totems, twoshots me. burned all portals couldn't kill him.

Tier 12 Catacombs: easy clear all the way.

Mind you this was done on a six-link so I'm not sure how to feel about this. There were no mana problems though.

Are there any T16 videos?

hey, just build it today. went to the maze of the minotaur map to try out the damage after i oneshoted izaro several times :) went good, even tho most of my gems are level 19 or lower and my gear isnt the best (gear can bechecken in my profile - most of it is reused, tried out arc/storm call builds before). died 2 or 3 times bc im not playing that well (just playing poe since end of dec and dont have much experience lol). i love the build! made some small changes like adding an enlighten and put my golems into the cwdt 4 link with immortal call. thanks for letting me finally play a cool and really strong 'mage' build after i failed with arc :)


also what are your thoughts on the beast fur shawl chest? ive been planning to get a 6l chest and saw the beast fur shawl been played by some FB elementalists (i hope u guys didnt discuss it alreasy - havent read the whole thread lol way too much for me :( :D)
