Best set up for Molten Shell?

Wanted to start using this, but not sure what supports to use with it? I would think faster casting and concentrated effect. What would be the best 4 linked set up?

Molten Shell > Faster Casting > Life Leech > Increased Duration

If your going for damage then cut out stuff like faster casting since it won't do anything for damage. Use Iron Will and concentrated effect for sure and maybe a fire support.

What exactly does Iron will do? Also, what fire supports would you suggest?

Molten shell ( QUUALITY ) -> +3 fire dagger/wand/scepter

with - COncentrated effect + increased area of effect ( for boss ) Use an immortal call to tank the boss.
with - concentrated effect + Increased AoE NODEs from tree ( or gear) + Elemental proliferation ( eat everything with fire )
with - ele prolif + chance to ignite (eat everything with... )
with - ele prolif + increased area of effect
with - a lot of stuff



for 4LInked you can add i guess : life leech - burning - increased duration and more

Edit : Iron will is helpful because it raise your spell dmg ( based on STR you have ) and does not raise mene cost of the skill.

Is Elemental Proliferation a spell gem or passive and what does it do?

if you don't know that much about the game you should check the gem webpage or the poe wiki. Has everything you need and will answer most of your basic questions.

I like adding iron will to molten shell.

Typically you will be running a significant amount of Strength since most players that will want to use Molten Shell are already uses of Armour as a defensive preference.

Also like adding chance to flee. The ones that don't die should be running away, this buys a little time.

I'm only level 27 and running with it in a 3L:



If I wanted to build around it in a very serious manner, i would likely do:
- iron will
- fire penetration
- chance to ignite
- chance to flee
- chance to blind

But there is no way i would use more than 4L on this little buff.

searing touch is good for molten shield?
