Fireball + Increased Burning Damage + Ele Prolif + Concentrated Effect + _______
The above is the bare minimum in my opinion, after that you can add whatever you want. DO NOT use GMP or LMP if you give a toss about burning damage. Also do not use pierce or fire penetration, they're not worth it. Faster projectiles + Increased AoE would be the last two gems I'd use. With the above setup, each Fireball will hit like a truck, and if you're traited properly, it will deal an assload of burning damage, and it will spread all over the damn place.

i think fireball is a must have with faster casting.
actually, nearly every spell is a must have with faster casting.
if you cast like a turtle, how can u expect to clear mobs quickly?
The rest of the 'end-game' content will be available along with a heap of new stuff when the game launches in a few months time. From what I've seen it's going to be awesome. - Michael_GGG

what does Ele Prolif do? and i was thinking of using lmp cuz i wanted more then one fireball to come out, that way i could kill big minion waves + it looks cooler. if not lmp then maybe fork or chain, i dont want to have fireball that only kills one minion at a time btw how much does the staff cost? im planning on getting one

Fireball casts quite fast with my gear as it is, I'd rather have the projectiles hit their targets more often, thus why I use projectile speed and not casting speed.

Fork, LMP, GMP, etc, all lower your burning damage substantially. IF you don't care about burn and only care about the direct damage portion, have at it. And Ele prolif makes enemies radiate an aura that spreads whatever status effect they have on them to nearby enemies. So if you blast one mob with a Fireball, and it lights the thing on fire, any other enemies that go near it will also be set on fire; it even works on corpses and is a hilarious way to hose Necros that try to chain rez undead (since their corpses burn, they just stand up and immediately light on fire again and die).

Forgot to say, as for Searing Touch, the price varies widely because the stat spread on the increased spell and fire damage is huge. I paid 4 GCP for mine, but I've seen high rolled (not even perfect) 5L copies of it sell for like 6 exalts.

Well, burning damage is based on how much damage the initial hit did, so anything that reduces your damage (but gives you more projectiles like GMP, LMP) will lower your burning damage as a result. It's really up to you, I personally think that with just the +80 additional burning damage you can easily get from the tree + the new gem, + Ele Prolif, burning damage is just too good to pass up just for more projectiles. I have no experience with Chain so I cannot advise you on that.
