For the second build you can take either PoM or Combustion. It really is a toss up between which is better seeing as how it is an auto crit pyro or an instant pryo.
There is also a flamestrike/blastwave build but it is pretty much ass. At least when I tried it. Naimah fucked around with this message on 04-22-2005 at 01:05 PM.

You have IAE not at all in one of those builds and only 4/5 in the other. 
What is the point?

Remember, DPT is the one who uses a green twohander as a warrior and thinks a sword and shield is useless.

I wanted to go mostly fire in the first build, and in the second I have no idea. I was thinking fireblast would be more important than IAE. Am I wrong? I was just saying what I may try next chance I get.

What, do you just make stuff up now? Next time read the posts instead of skimming them, then bringing them up later. DrPaintThinner fucked around with this message on 04-23-2005 at 12:40 AM.
I'm loving Improved Counterspell. It's the 2nd best way to pull spellcasting mobs there is. (The best being to duck out of LOS, but that's not always possible)
Improved Arcane Explosion is NOT optional.
Khyron fucked around with this message on 04-23-2005 at 01:31 AM.Does Arcane Meditation stack with Mage Armor? Nevermind. If it doesn't stack, screw it. Better off putting the talent points elsewhere.
