Ahh sorry i play strictly Hardcore so that's why i emphasis added defense. So are you saying that the area increase passives work on fireballs aoe on impact?

It definitely should work, its pretty hard to test but as far as game mechanics go it should.

Really like the build but i went templar route instead. After passives are wiped in the next patch i might try shadow route instead.





I definitely need more cast speed. Silly how tooltip doesn't change when Concentrated Effect is gemmed to fireball.

That's a little weird way of counting your dps, dont think thats very accurate.
Maybe you should add totems in all of your gear and spam them for 99999 dps?

I just wanted to say that I tested this build (with slight alterations) and now at level 71 it's pretty powerful and awesome.

I run a hybrid necro/fire witch with a focus on fireballs and burning dmg. Love the build works great.

Updated build, went towards shadow crit due to suggestions, hitting around 14000 dps right now at 30% crit.

I added elem prolif to my personal fireball, most of the time im just casting totems + cursing + picking up loot. But when there is a particularly large group elem prolif speeds up killing time decently as far as I can tell.

With mana leech on my witches fireball also I can handle any map mods but elem reflect, temp chains, and no regen. (Goatmen kinda suck because they will hop before totems are there to distract them)

At this point I have around 4000 ES, I would never die if I was running more than like 0% resistances >_<

i have 1 question, u have flask which grants "all hits are critical strikes", its about only psyhical attack or speels too?

Diamond Flasks affect all forms of damage but only last for a short period of time - 1.8 seconds max.

Jlpeebles, in your opinion, are totems less effective now that range was nerfed and sometimes does not aggro properly?

I've been looking into a build like this. I'm curious however. I was looking into the double totem fireball...but using Fire Traps for personal while the totem blew them up. How important are the +% buffs passives you took (Inner Force) to this build. I was looking at it and if you remove those you could grab one of the trap clusters near the end of the shadow build.

With all the fire passives, +burn % and extra AoE passives already included I would think it may work. Opinions?
