How it Plays

The main focus here is to set yourself up so that you can spam Fireball as much as possible whilst in combat.

All the other skills are here to Support Fireball and help maintain Resource and provide Defensive Measures.

The following steps are the recommended Build Rotation for skill usage:

Cast Inferno to Pull Enemies Together and make them Vulnerable.
Cast Ice Blades for Vulnerable Application and additional Attack Speed.
Cast Lightning Spear to Stack Conjurations and Stun Enemies on Critical Strike.
Cast Familiar to gain the increased Damage Bonus from Invoked Familiar.
Cast Fire Bolt on Harder Targets to gain 25%[x] Extra Burning Damage via Glinting Fire Bolt.
Cast Fireball liberally around all other skills.

Repeat each step as necessary

How it Works

Extra Details

This build should reach Pit 100 in Season 12 with Decent Equipment, Max Glyphs and Decent Blooded Affixes but it will likely struggle to scale much past this.

With the correct gear this build this will easily beat all the Hardest Content In The Game without issue.
