Really liking flamewall. I saw a build that scales flame wall to the gills (14m secondary dot from flame wall). The nice takeaway is, projectiles apply flame wall secondary dot on hit, regardless of the projectile dmg itself.

So he used ball lightning as the "deliverer".


I wonder if it is possible to take a compromise and take less flamewall dps, but work a spell slinger and just use KB as the "deliverer".

Even with only 5-7m secondary dps, it should be a very nice 1 button playstyle.

I wonder how to reach 14m dps for flame wall. Could you help to provide a build link or POB?

I didnt know its possible to have burning bright passive in medium cluster too, any reason to not have that also in all medium clusters?

Just pick whatever gives you the highest damage :) I've already listed which notables are the best.

saw that video too and essentially he's decked out to get that type of damage. full out clusters to stack the FDoTM and the notables themselves, low life for pain attunement etc.

basically if you try to change his build around almost at all, you'll see the damage on flamewall PLUMMET

I've had some rerolls on hc, and I've found a bit better hybrid passive tree than the earlier ones I suggested. Also the support gems while lvling.

I'm gonna update when I get some spare time.

Any chance you'll have time to do this? I'd like to try the hybrid version you came up with.

So if you want to use a ‘delivery’ spell. The best way to do that imo would be to use elemental hit. By adding the combat focus that means cannot choose fire, you’ll always cycle between cold and lightning. The added fire damage from flame wall won’t trigger but the debuff will be applied. Why go this approach? Because then you’d be able to get EE.

Edit: this is essentially changing the build entirely obviously, moving from ignite to something closer to an ed/contagion, but if you DO decide to go hard on flame wall alone probably an interesting way to go about it. Rather than a spellslinger setup I’d honestly just play it like a pseudo ed/con dropping flame wall and ele hitting through it.

Just as an FYI, this build can EASILY clear the Hall of Grandmasters too. I'm not sure if that was in your initial post, but I'm still behind you for DPS and it was a breeze. One avoidable death when I got too cocky.

I gotta say, this is one of my all time favorite builds for sure. I'm really enjoying it. I would run it as a league start every league if I didn't have so many other builds to run.

MY current POB if curious: https://pastebin.com/BpUcnsuv

So solid, saved the league for me. Thanks for the guide!!

Decided to look for a build to run HOGM, used your build as a start point and completed it for the first time with much less dps (https://pastebin.com/gsRAMW77), thanks.

Thanks for an awesome guide. I followed your TR trickster back in Deli and was a blast and thinking about 3.13 start, would you rather recommend this one or ED/C you also wrote? I saw you wrote Fireball is more powerfull than TR which sounds great as bossing is what still troubles me the most (probably cause I am potato under pressure lol).

It's much easier to get higher dps with the fireball/flame wall ignite build and it is extremely cheap to build (If you dont need a 6link staff :) ).
Building the life version will feel fast and efficient and you will be able to take down everything.

ED can feel more safe but will have a higher investment scale / can feel slower at bossing... Like much slower!

ED has better sustain due to the naturality of the way ED works.


I got some handache playing the fireball/flame wall build too much though.
