  • +Smooth leveling — Fire Ball is strong from Lv 12
  • +Fire Mastery multiplier scales well with +skills gear

Cons

  • -Fire Immunes are a hard wall without Infinity mercenary
  • -Meteor has a casting delay and travel time
  • -Requires precise Meteor placement for maximum damage
  • -Falls behind Lightning and Blizzard in late endgame speed

Play Style

Teleport into monster packs, pre-aim Meteor on their path, then spam Fire Ball while Meteor lands. Fire Ball is your primary damage at high levels due to no cooldown. Static Field bosses to 50%, then Fire Ball + Meteor combo. Use Teleport for repositioning.

Mercenary

Act 2 Offensive (Might) — Insight for mana regen early. Upgrade to Infinity for Fire Immune breaking in endgame. Fortitude + Andariel's Visage for mercenary survivability.
