What supports do you use on Firestorm?

I use it with culling strike, IIR, IIQ

Concentrated Effect is just too mana demanding IMO, and this is my only attack besides my minions so I want it more than just a single target spell. I actually have decided to take off Increased Duration in favor of Item Rarity for the mana costs and framerate increase (a little bit), and like I said above, I have 92 mana regen with Clarity. That's pretty high I think.

So instead of a boss killer, I have a magic find spell since I have dual magic find on it now with Faster Casting. Ideal would be Faster Casting + magic finds + Increased Duration in a 5L. I realize though that the only purpose of a 6L for Firestorm would probably be to add in mana leech. Without it, a 6L would be pointless due to mana costs. Anybody using a 6L and are fine? How?


thats why you use a rime gaze for that setup

firestorm-culling-firpen-fastcast and the bonus concentrated rime gaze provides

Bad supports:
Increased area of effect - covers a larger area and the meteor explosions are bigger, but the chance for a given monster to be hit is reduced.


Not too sure about this... AFAIK the area is increased with no decrease in the damage done to each monster in the AoE. So it may look like the meteors are farther apart, but I believe that they are all taking the same damage.

I base this on when I am Firestorming an area with jars in it, the jars break when no fireballs were shown to have fallen there.


It kind of depends on how the hits are calculated. If monsters are given a hitbox or radius and the damage is based on the intersection of the fireball explosion geometry and that circle/hitbox, increasing the radius of the fireballs and the landing zone will decrease your chance to hit a target within the area. If the hit-test is just checking to see if the monster's point position intersects the fireball explosion, increasing radius doesn't affect the chance to hit and behaves essentially the same as it does in all the other AoEs(in which case it would be a so-so support at best).
