Gameplay

Cast Flame Wall on the move to ignite enemies that chase you, then cast Contagion at low-life enemies. Use Unearth on corpses or after your Skeletons die. Put Fire Infusion on Unearth. For Rust King, maintain Flame Wall, Frost Bomb, and cast Unearth at any corpses

Level 6:

Skeletal Arsonist + Fire Infusion + (Scattershot/Magnified Effect)
Unearth + Fire Infusion
Stash a low level Flame Wall (3 or lower) for use on later bosses if mana becomes an issue

Consider swapping between Magnified Effect for clear and Multishot I for bossing if you detonate often

Level 10:

Raging Spirits + Last Gasp + Fire Infusion
Flame Wall + Arcane Tempo
Drop Contagion

For single target, maintain Frost Bomb, spam Flame Wall for Raging Spirits, and Unearth when skeletons die

How it Plays

Clear

Occasionally cast Flame Wall to summon 2 Raging Spirits and boost Skeletal Arsonist damage

Cast Unearth at groups of corpses, or after detonating a minion

It may sometimes be worth detonating Raging Spirits and Unearth for extra AoE clear. Test it out and see how it feels. It's likely worth swapping out Scattershot for clear if you detonate often
