Infernal blow fire Templar viable?

I'm looking at going the following build:



My main attack would be infernal blow obviously. I'd 5L going Infernal blow - Chance to ignite - added fire damage - Life leech - wep. ele damage. I'd pick up fire pen. if I get a 6L.

With a quality gem, I'd have 88% increased radius for the explosion with my passives, gem quality of IB, and the Maruhi maul. The unmodified is fairly small, hoping this would fix the problem.

Ignite would also do substantial damage. Doing 46% of the initial fire damage per second for 6 seconds using vuln as my curse. With a quality and leveled fire damage gem, I should have infernal at 100% fire damage.

I'd also be running double fire trap and molten shell.

Anyway, looking for feedback, especially from anyone that has used Infernal blow.

P.S. I'll be using the Maruhi erqi two hand mace which is why I went resolute technique instead of crit. I'll rely on chance to ignite for my ignitions.

Very detailed Infernal Blow (2h melee, debuffer) build here.

Suggest you check it out. Don't touch fire trap. :)
