And yeah, you should see belt on one of the screens above.
You just adjust everything with your needs. I made slightly different version, running rituals, that elemental storm helps me alot on few white guys, who might snuck on me otherwise. It's always small guys who are scary in poe 2. I mostly never died to rares/bosses, always those white guys, and it's annoying.


I need big help, im at 83. currently, my fireball is only 3.5k, that feels so off when I am seeing people with 15k+.

my wand is + spell dmg 35%, +5 level fire, +100 mana, + cast speed,
focus is 100% fire dmg, +1 level, mana, mana regen,

passive tree is exact with OP, 190 spirit with archmage, cof, and arctic armor.


Pretty sure that 100% fire damage on your focus is doing nothing. You want spell damage, and if not that, cold damage.

I'm gonna post my char name for anyone looking for gear pieces. I'm always evolving out of old pieces and into new ones and I generally list the old ones for fairly cheap/low prices.

Anyone using the trade site, you can type in the name, "HigherTimes#6965", and look @ all the gear pieces I currently have up.

I have some stuff for free most likely as well for anyone just starting the build or feeling like they're struggling like that...I got a ton of stuff sitting around fireball users can use. So don't be shy to throw a DM/trade!
Had fun playing the build. I am currently lv74. What stats should I prioritise on my rings ? Is inc % cold/fire dmg less impt than cast speed % ?

Cast speed is king for not only damage but making the build feel so much better. I'd say shooting over 2.5 fireballs a second is overkill though, so just try to get around there (2.0-2.5) and then focus on other damage affixes (cold/spell skils, spell damage, cold damage, in this order).

It's kind of confusing because fire skills is what you need but fire damage doesn't scale as well or at all (I think?), so it's spell or cold damage (spell seemingly scaling better).

@Kondried

Can OP please verify this? 100% fire damage isnt increasing my fireball?

You're changing all your fire dmg into cold with the gloves. Giving yourself 100% of 0 would be I'm pretty sure, 0. Again, I could be wrong.

This is also what I'm realizing and noticing about cold damage, considering my build uses archmage at an insane level, my lightning damage on fireball is WAY more than my cold damage. So if I get lightning damage over cold, I should technically be getting more damage.

This is why spell damage is best, because it covers all 3 spell classes. I could be wrong about all of this and I'm open to learning, but this is how I see it as of right now myself.

edit/

So it's not technically 0, but if you check your fireball damage, fire is miniscule compared to cold and especially lightning if you're archmage w/ lots of mana.

Also, basically confirmed by going to your skill tree and holding shift over a fire damage node. It gives it very little damage.

This has literally opened my mind to a whole new possibly skill tree and selections considering lightning with EB is dominantly the damage type that will scale you up, not cold anymore.

Been messing with gear a lot, especially now finding out how much lightning damage is better than cold by a good margin.

Will try to fix up res and scale out the damage I don't need for utility/mana. Gear is listed on page 1 under the CI/EB/MoM variation.

In case anyone also wanted to use call of the brotherhood: it doesn't work with archmage
What Anoints are the best Budget and BiS-Options? I got Conservative Casting (20% mana reg and 8% reduced mana cost) as my Budget Setup at the moment. Any better ideas?

Dunno what its called, but I annointed a Ranger Note with 50% increased Projectile Damage / -10% Attack Speed (which does not matter because we are casters.)

Any alternatives/best in slot recommemdations for annoint would be welcome!

Hey! Really like the fireball build and been trying it out for a bit, but since rarity is such an issue and I have some stuff from a different build, made me wonder if there is a version of this build, either the OP's build or the glass cannon version that could be turned into a rarity fireballer? Any suggestions on what to do / where to go with it or just not do it?

Thanks!
