My GMP Fireball Elementalist - Need Help!

Hybrid Life/ES Non-crit (flat damage) - cheaper, but falls off. Better starting build, good attribute support, good mana regen, high flat damage scales poorer gear better

Use doedre's damning for second curse.
One rolling flames jewel supported at north jewel node.
Ignore prolif on dori's, it's just....there.

CI Crit - expensive - scales better late. Lacks a few attributes (about 20 str/dex required from gear), will require constant mana flask usage, scales higher quality gear hard.

One rolling flames jewel supported west of witch start
One energy from within jewel supported near melding wheel
Would build as hybrid life/es until 80~ then swap respec to CI/ES


As far as respeccing goes, it usually only takes me about 9-10 hours to create a new character to level 80, the 100~ chaos it might cost to do a full respec might make it worth it to reroll.
