Volcanic Orb has a longer range but need time to hit, but it does huge amount of dmg, especially with Fragmentation+Earth Enchantment+Brimstone, and possibly +%dmg from items and relics. Pretty much needless to say, Conflagration is pretty useless (Although with lots of int it can be deadly).
Flame Surge should not be underestimated. I saw some call it useless, but I calculated, each projectile (there's at least 6 of them) does 109-150 fire damage, and that it without the brimstone's +20% dmg, int bonuses, skill boosters, second mastery or boosts from items and relics. Plus, remember you get -100% recharge for it. The only con it has, in my opinion, is it's short range.
Eventually, as you probably figured out yourself, you should have DR+TR maxed (DUH!), but for now these two skills serve me well at level 20 in the beggining of Act 2 ( Current Build), and I still have 3 points to add somewhere, haven't decided where exactly. |
Naked Xmax was all of A2 and parts of A1. A3 was just too much damage to consider doing it. A4 is definitely too much.
As mentioned above, I hit Ixian Wood a bit ago. I haven't had the opportunity to work on Streaking since then. Been very, very busy and otherwise occupied in TQ by my T-ball paladin (I'm looking at 14 seconds of stun on a 5 second cooldown when I get gear on).

That's what I remember of my current build. I have 3 more points somewhere. I'm not sure where they're hiding at moment. I just know that I'm 31, not 30. My current weapon is a normal difficulty Staff of the Magi with -16% recharge and a very potent Essence of Prometheus' Flame (fire damage and fire damage % completion bonus). I plan on spending 4 of the next 9 levels on finishing out Dream Mastery so I have the required int for Heka Staff. I'm hesitant as to whether or not I should work up past that to get Praxidikae or Eye of Osiris. I think I'm more likely to move for Eye of Osiris due to its lower Int requirement. The rest of my points are going to sink into a few more ranks of Energy and the rest into Health. Eye of Osiris is another 66 Int I'd need, which is ~8.5 levels in points of int. The bonus would be a boost on my spawn for Core Dweller, focused resist fire, and higher base damage. I'm sort of ambivalent, especially since Heka Staff has the tasty, tasty -20% recharge and energy cost modifiers.
DR and TR will be working in soon, I'm sure. It'll probably be my choice secondary spell. I'd kind of like a non-fire option. Eruption just doesn't work well against fire resistant mobs.
