Gem Review Corner: Molten Shell

"

Was thinking about running it along with a Searing Touch, but yeah, losing out on tempest shield could hurt.

tempest shield is worth it only if you have very high block chance(i have capped both physical and spell block chance),using ms with searing touch is a very good idea as well,since you still have some block chance,but the damage goes up to insane numbers,you can reach 20 k dps if you 6 link the gem
I was thinking taking all the +AoE nodes (witch, templar, mid) along with some fire nodes late game.

Searing touch and 6l MS with conc effect, increased area of effect, iron will, fire pen and something else...
And if you close your eyes, does it feel like your exalt almost hit this time~

chance to ignite
ahh, yes.

Chance to ignite would make it deal some insane DoT huh. I like it!

Now the trouble comes into finding a 6l Searing touch. (that +2 spell level is MASSIVE on MS, and all the other fire gems too)

if you can get a 6l one,you can 5 link molten shell and use the sixth slot for firestorm,the supports for that are very similar to ms(except for chance to ignite,which is useless on firestorm)
Well, for now ill use a 4l one and try to find a 6l one, since the +2 spell level outweighs the 2l extra, im fairly sure.

One thing I don't like is the combination of Endurance and Molten Shell from a "color" blind perspective. The orange on orange totally blends together, and I am not able to visually tell how many endurance charges I have up or if I even have endurance charges up at all.
GGG listens to its fans!!! Thank you!
