Ember Fusillade Build Summary

Ember Fusillade Starter Build

Build Setup
Ember Fusillade Sorceress
Fast AoE Clear High DoT High Single Target Damage Low Mobility No Crowd Control

This is an Ember Fusillade build that aims to maximize the early game capability of this skill and allow it to clear every mob you see in a swift manner. We utilize some support gems to turn Ember Fusillade to become one of the fastest AoE clearing ability in the early game.

We utilize Ember Fusillade for our projectile DPS, Flame Wall for damage amplification and Sustained DPS, Solar Orb for extra DPS against immobile targets, and Flammability to take down high HP targets.

Ember Fusillade Gear Setup

Equipment and Modifiers

These are your preferred stat modifiers for gear in the early to mid game that will allow you to speed through the first few acts. We want to stack up as much mana as we can to ensure that our DPS don't stop. Fire Damage and/or Spell Damage is preferred to further increase our Ember Fusillade's damage especially since we're reducing its damage output via our Support Gems.

One thing you'll want to further invest into once you start reaching Act 2 is to invest more on Energy Shield as this will be your main lifeline against heavy attacks that would otherwise one-shot you.

Socketables

There's not much dire need for resistances but you're free to equip a charm to negate your current area's enemy attacks if you have the right charm for it.

For Runes, you'll want to slot as much Iron Rune to increase your armor and negate damage that enemies can dish out to you to avoid one-shots (especially against bosses).

Ember Fusillade Skills and Passive Tree

Active Skills

Skill	Support Gems
Ember Fusillade	Chain Unleash
Flame Wall	Persistence
Solar Orb	Overabundance
Flammability	Heightened Curse

Persistent Skills

Skill	Support Gems
Raging Spirits	Fire Infusion Ignition

The Raging Spirits will work wonders for this build as it allows you to summon Raging Spirits as you cast your Fire Spells which can track enemies and consistently attack them, increasing your total damage output. Keep in mind that these spirits cannot aggro and passes through your enemies so they are not used for tanking.

Passive Skill Tree

Passive Nodes
1. Starting Group Nodes
2. Second Group Nodes
3. Third Group Nodes
4. Fourth Group Nodes
5. Fifth Group Nodes

Full Tree Sample

This is an ongoing build and is currently for a level 25 Sorcerer and is still an ongoing tree. Overall, we'll want to tackle as much spell damage and fire elemental synergies on our tree.

We also take the stat high-way to reach much needed fire-related nodes. Also be sure to take Dexterity and Strength node depending on your current gear as you'll want some extra stats for Dexterity and Strength to equip support gems of the same type.

Ember Fusillade Playstyle and Skill Rotaion

Skill Rotation

The main rotation and playstyle of the Ember Fusillade Sorc is to kite enemies while keeping our DoT uptime to almost maximum. Utilize Fire Wall's duration as well as your double Solar Orb to ensure that enemies lose HP even while you're kiting away and firing Fusilades from a distance. The rotation is as follows:

1. Cast Ember Fusillade with 2 stacks of seals from Unleash.
2. Immediately cast Flame Wall.
3. Re-cast Ember Fusilade with 2 new stacks of seals.
4. Cast double Solar Orbs on the area enemies are running too (a few distance between the enemy and you)
5. Re-cast Ember Fusilade with a newly refreshed set of seal stacks then cycle back to your Flame Wall step (Step 2)

Use Flammability Against High HP Enemies

Your triple spell cycle of Flame Wall, Fusillade, and dual Solar Orb will be enough to dispatch small to mid-sized enemies easily.

However, when fighting large mobs, elites, and bosses, you'll want to add Flammability to your casting circle with a the highest priority for Flammability. As long as you maintain the cycle of casting Fusillade then a new skill (one of the three you have), you'll be able to maintain your DPS.
