Faster Penetration and Fire Projectiles are just good with incinerate.

True! I knew that, really :S

LGoH would probably work well.

Explosive Arrow doesn't really fit the image I had for the character, but both Incinerate and Arc sound like a lot of fun.

Which one is a better spell overall? I've never used either. I think Incinerate fits Arctic Armour well because when the former is active, the latter is not costing so much (stationary).

Plus the arctic armour will completely negate the effect of elemental reflect when using incinerate, because incinerate does a lot of little hits, and artic armour reduces each one by a flat amount.

(Unless I'm missing some interesting fact about ele reflect)

EA doesn't cost that much. You should only be shooting one expensive shot then 4 "cheap" shots by using a second, level1 EA with FA+RMC.

Highest cost skill in the game depends heavily on the attack speed of your weapon, but I'm pretty sure Poison Arrow wins.

Level 20 PA + Chain + GMP + FA is 156 mana per shot. Given that you can easily hit 6aps (including the FA support gem), I would not be surprised to see ~1k mana/sec.

6L Flame Totem with Faster Casting, GMP, Fire Pen, Faster Projectiles, Culling Strike.

Any real point in high attack speed PA though when it wouldn't effect the DoT?

tempest shield + added cold + added chaos + added lightning + lightning pen + well that already would be over 100% mana, so i guess reduced mana cost and some mana reservation nodes on the tree xD

Level 20 Incinerate = 56.25 MPS
Quality Faster Casting => 1.2 MCM and ~50% inc. cast speed => 101 MPS
GMP => 202 MPS
Chain => 404 MPS
Faster Projectiles => 444
Fire Penetration => 621

Swap out chain with added chaos damage, shyt's insane.

My level 83 EA spends about 500 life/sec if I fire constantly.
