Fire Magic + Traps Shadow

EDIT: I have changed the build a bit throughout the thread, so if you are interested you might have to look at later pages. I'll update this main thread if I come to an end.

=====================
I'm looking to do something along the lines of this:


I'm currently lvl 30, and am curious about CI. This is my first caster-like character, so I was wondering how good of a 'defense' my ES will be.

The play style I am mainly doing right now is nuke oriented. I plan on getting Firestorm Trap/Mines to insta nuke things when I need to. Otherwise I am using normal Firestorm/Fire Trap/Fireball at the moment.

I know that I skimped on the defense for this build, but I planned on it being mainly set up and then pull the mobs into it.

If anyone can give some insight into this it would be much appreciated.

could consider snagging the es nodes to the right of start area, skipping any trap bonusses that dont add an extra trap, so you reroute your right side up with the direction towards ci,

such as this, what do you think? Saves you a ton of points to really make your es beefy without any dps loss.

Alright thanks, I'll keep that in mind. For now I'll just continue on my way and use the respec later if it comes to it.

I have a question and not sure if I will have to make a new thread, but:

If I drink a Diamond Flask, will it make my Firestorm Traps crit if I drink it before they are triggered?

with this build what other spells do you use other than fire trap?

firestorm, fireball and support trap/remote mine to them
i'd suggest a totem support gem too..
it would be nice if oyu had 4 firestorm skills:
1 trap, 1 remote mine, 1 totem (support gems) and 1 normal to spam by yourself

thanks alot dude...and one more thing do you dual weild or do u use a shield or use a 2hander like anything specific and do u try and go for more evade armor or "armor" armor?...just trying to find more about this build cause all i really saw was the passives and i wanted to know what else u use so if u can answer those question that would be awesome!!

since we are going to use spells i suggest you to 1dagger-shield or 1wand-shield, and we are gonna use Energy Shield, not eva not armor, Energy shield

thanks alot!! so al pieces that have ES on them is best and wand shield or dagger shield sounds gooood!!

one other thing dont shields all require strength? if not disregard this question...but since the build has about 0 strength in it how do we use shields as our offhand
