I'd replace Pierce and Faster Projectiles with Crit Damage, Chaos Damage, or Critical Strikes. Faster Projectiles can be compensated with quality on spark.

Spark is the ultimate single target skill that way. It just wastes sooo much mana if used as an AoE Skill.



Currently, building a Power Charge/Avatar of Fire Templar built for Infernal Blow. I am thinking that the optimal combination for will be:

Concentrate Area + Improved Critical Damage + Improved Critical Strikes + Improved Area + Weapon Elemental Damage (highest single gem boost for the weapon swing component)

Ground slam + weapon elemental + added fire + chance to ignite + life on hit

that is my goal for avatar of fire

Ice Nova/cold snap
+ Faster Cast
+ Cold to Fire
+ Increased Critical chance
+ Add Cold Damage
+ Concentrated Area
with all the AoE passives, faster cast and critical chance you can get.

Lighning Warp
+ Increased Area
+ Knockback
+ Increased Critical Chance
+ Faster Cast
+ Add Cold

Ground Slam:
Added Fire Damage
Melee Physical Damage
Weapon Elemental Damage
Life Gain on Hit
Life Leech

Using Blood Magic.

Ground Slam/Cleave/Sweep
-Melee Physical
-Added Fire Damage
-Faster Attacks
-Concentrated Effect
-Crits?


Frenzy (with a bow)
-Multiple Projectiles
-Added Fire Damage
-Faster Attacks
-Projectile Speed
-Added Cold Damage

for minion build I've played with convert melee damage into fire with minion damage and zombie/specter and its nuts how much damage minions can do esp if you have the keystone when they go boom massive body piles galore
