How essential is it to use fortress on flame wall? Almost tempted to use it on ice wall, trap myself inside and destroy things?

Is this even viable?


Not needed on Flame Wall at all, I would say you're looking at old gem links. Or possibly early game ones before you get access to Support 2's.

I think it's Cascade? on Flame Wall instead, which gives you a few walls split apart which is helpful if you have to move around.

Fortress is good on Ice Wall, though I'm not sure I'd use it defensively like that. Seems like you're trapping yourself in with AoE/Floor effects etc. With Fortress you throw up a ring around an enemy if there aren't a lot of other enemies or walls around to give your fireballs more stuff to boomboom off.

I was using fortress flame walls for awhile just for more area coverage. I switched to using fortress with frost wall because its more useful to shotgun errant mobs or rares.

I use cascade on flame wall for ease of use, because you are placing them quite often and I want them in front and behind me.

Early on you will be using flame wall very often for that added damage, unless you have outgeared the content significantly, so you want it to be easy to use as possible.
Just stumbled on this thread and since I run smth very similiar (actually your tree is the exact same as mine) since my COF has been killed, I just want to add a few inspirational things:

I also do run Mom/Energy/Life hybrid with recover mana jewels (essential):
Its quite effective in my opinion, especially if you can afford a bit of chaos res beside maxed out elemental res.
Heart of the storm helps a lot (stormweaver ascendancy, take it after arcane surge and its bonus)

My 6 link is not faster casting (arcane tempo), but energy barrier:
Actually energy barrier is an insane defense system, if you can allow yourself to decrease you dps a bit, energy barrier is the right answer. Especially since mana is quite needy and faster casting is not that much of a help.

I dont use any comet setup for bosses, just fireball and frostwall (maybe sigil of power)

My cast on freeze is also combined with frost wall and I got one for manual casting

Flamewall is attached to fortress, increase aoe, mobility and spell cascade
(but to add like konried says, fortress and frost wall is very good for rares or bosses)

Energy barrier is a really interesting idea, if I can get a 6 link any time soon I will definitely try it out. I've been doing T13 rituals and they get really hairy with lots of stuff on top of me, energy barrier will probably be excellent.

I figured out today while pushing T14s that you can automate exposure by using inevitable critical and cold exposure on the cast on freeze setup. It seems that each individual crystal detonate counts as its own spell, so the uptime on exposure while clearing is excellent. I switched back to scouring winds and the results were really good for clearspeed quality of life. Frost bomb alone just can't keep up with what's going on most of the time.

I also dropped mana tempest and picked up flame blast with astral projection, to deal with those occasional tricky scenarios where you just need to reach out and reliably chunk a problem rare down. It's got really great freeze buildup, and being able to aim a huge freeze on demand where you want has a ton of utility to locking stuff down. Sort of like something useful to do if I'm wanting to stack up unleash, happy with the added control so far.

Are there other vitally important stats for Jewels, or are we mostly just aiming for the mana regen and whatever else good we can get?

Edit: By mana regen I mean mana on kill

Just discovered that in the skills window, if you click the arrow next to the DPS you can restrict spells to certain weapon sets. So, you can set Fireball to only cast with Weapon Set 1 (Or indeed everything but Sigil of Power). Now everything will swap back to the main weapon when used.


Oh that is amazing. Thank you!
Quick question, how are you utilizing mana tempest. I run out of mana almost instantly while running it.

automate exposure sounds very interesting, I will try it out!
and yes, I would have died dozends times more without energy barrier, its amazing and I hope it wont get nerfed (like this whole build lol, since its still an investement to get this running unlike cof).

flameblast also sounds nice, might check it out!
and yea, mana tempest is not worth it.

and @zeyphril who spotted the weapon swap stuff, thank you so much!

OP can you please just make a build sheet using Maxroll or mobalytics and post URL in your guide.. the layout of this is horrendous.. but the build is dope!!!!
This build may be good once you have some level of stuff and high level of gems, but the DPS is atrocious while leveling. I'm totally stuck at Act 3 normal with it, every boss fight takes way too long.
