[2.6/3.1] Shaper down on budget 5-link - The Debuffing Pizza (Tri-Curse CI Elementalist Flameblast)
|
OMG AOE nerfs! This build is so ded! :P
I'm pumped to play on Friday. My friend is going to be doing a wild strike build so.....everything is gonna be on fire permanently. Should be pretty toasty! Thanks again for the build write up and infos. I'll be sure to keep an eye out here and attempt to contribute once Legacy League starts up. I will probably be streaming a bunch the first few days and will maybe make a video or two once I'm actually accustomed to playing it and all that jazz. So some videos can be on the first page with 2.6 next to them :P |

Will this build be viable for the new patch? and will our skill tree passives be affected by the changes?
Thanks! |

Hey
I'm just leveling with this at the moment and not sure about something in the guide: "Use Firestorm/Spark/Spell Totem for early stage. Only use Flameblast after you have got the Elemental Proliferation support gem (around late A4 Normal to A1 Cruel). After that everything should run smoothly." I just got Prolif and I'm getting 0 ignites with Flameblast or even Firestorm. What's the point in that, to swap to Flameblast when I get Prolif? I see that Chance to Ignite is once of the main gems with FB, so should I only swap to FB when I get Chance to Ignite? I dont understand.. FB is super costly on mana and extremely slow to cast. Thanks. |

" 2.6 doesn't hurt the core of the build. No worry! The tree may have some small tweaks but not much. Save the leveling trees now so you can start the build right away on 2.6. Cheers! |

" This was my first build in PoE and I quite liked it. I'm concerned about the changes to some of the core skills. Vaal Discipline - Without the bonus energy shield, this seems to hurt general tanky-ness of the build as well as reducing the effectiveness of the "ultimate move" (just a bonus, I know but I thought I'd call it out) Orb of Storms - Reduced duration from 10 to 6 seconds, quite a large reduction but might not have much impact since you're replacing it a good bit General AoE nerf - Significantly reducing AoE of flameblast and Ele Prolif might make this a sub-optimal build for clearing maps. Any chance you could give some more specific opinions/feedback to these changes? Also, are you going to be playing this build in legacy? |

" Anyone? :( |

" You can use this setup: Flameblast - Proliferation - Control Destru. - CE/iAOE - Chance to Ignite If that seems clunky, you can use Firestorm until you get more cast speed. Use Elreon Rings to combat mana problems. -16 cost to spells will make blasting easy. |

" In order to ignite you need to take those ignite nodes from tree and have Shaper of Desolation Ascendancy from Elementalist. Don't worry, to be honest until A4 Merciless it's better to use Firestorm, get to lvl 70-75, equip the Atziri's sceptre and once that you'll be on faceroll, trust me. Flameblast without enough Cast speed is too slow at start. I'm thinking of doing this build on Legacy, mostly because I wanna kill Shaper (for the first time) and I haven't yet. Did Uber and all Guardians on an EA Pathfinder when the Atlas came out and since then I was pretty inactive. It's either this or Ngamahu Raider/VSpark Inquisitor, which are annoying to gear up.

" Look forward to your show. :D |

I'm going to take the plunge and make this my first 2.6 build as a starter and to push as far as I can.
I've tried it in the past but I always had the issue of Flameblast never felt stronger than Firestorm, especially when you first get it in the late 30s. It's really slow to cast, and since you're just standing there channeling it, you're really prone to dying. Any suggestions on what you guys do when leveling Flameblast builds? |
