Version, purpose and verified scope
Staff of Endless Rage, Drognan’s Anguish and the Cauldron set connect Fireball to a complete Fire package. Hydra, Firewall and Inferno each receive substantial direct point investment. This is a new active 3.0 tree, not the old passive Fireball tree with another helm.
Patch family 3.0; level 70. Source variant: Mythic Endgame. Author revision: 2026-05-24T15:38:00. This page includes the complete skill allocation, bar, equipment, sockets and board/glyph list. Record and top-rank claims in the source title are not adopted as our own measurements.
Skill, item and glyph names retain unambiguous English planner labels. Numbers in the point table are allocated ranks, not final ranks increased by gear.
Action bar and gameplay
Establish Hydra and Firewall at the fight location, use Inferno for the pack window and repeatedly attack with Fireball. Maintain Ice Armor before contact. Flame Shield bridges dangerous hits; its brief duration does not replace sustained defense.
| Slot | Skill |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hydra |
| 2 | Fireball |
| 3 | Flame Shield |
| 4 | Ice Armor |
| 5 | Firewall |
| 6 | Inferno |

Equipment by slot
Aspects and Uniques are listed as one coherent setup. A higher item-power number does not replace a missing core item.
| Slot | Item / aspect |
|---|---|
| Helm | Heir of Perdition |
| Chest | Overheating Aspect |
| Gloves | Cremator's Aspect |
| Pants | Undying Aspect |
| Boots | Aspect of Shredding Blades |

| Amulet | Aspect of Armageddon |
| Ring 1 | Drognan's Anguish |
| Ring 2 | Ring of Starless Skies |
Stats, tempering and upgrade order
Assemble the staff, ring and set first. Then improve skill ranks, Fire/Burning support and resource sustain. Ring of Starless Skies only provides sustained benefit when the actual attack loop meets its condition.
The table lists attributes from the selected source, with preferred Greater/Masterwork targets first. It does not reuse present-day tooltip percentages as historical values.
| Slot | Attribute priority | Tempering |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Primary Core Stat · Movement Speed | — |
| Chest | Intelligence · Mana Regeneration · Resistance To All Elements · Maximum Life | — |
| Gloves | Attack Speed · Fire Damage Multiplier · All Damage Multipler · Damage Over Time Multiplier | Elemental Finesse Day Fire Damage |
| Pants | Intelligence · Maximum Life · Mana Regeneration · Resistance To All Elements | Worldly Endurance Armor |
| Boots | Movement Speed · Mana Regeneration · Resistance To All Elements · Bonus Healing Received | — |
| Weapon | Weapon Damage Min · Ranks To Fireball | — |
| Amulet | Damage Over Time Multiplier · Attack Speed · Fire Damage Multiplier · Ranks To Fire Skills | Worldly Stability Resource Generation |
| Ring 1 | Intelligence · Ranks To Fire Skills | — |
| Ring 2 | Primary Core Stat · Attack Speed | — |
Runes and gems
Sockets for the selected variant. A rune pair belongs together in a suitable item; socketed runes and completed Runeword equipment are different things.
| Slot | Sockets |
|---|---|
| Chest | Tam + Ohm |
| Pants | Poc + Que |
| Amulet | Diamond |
Paragon: boards and glyphs
This list documents the selected endgame setup. Use the linked planner for exact connected individual nodes and earlier point totals. A high target glyph rank is not an entry requirement.

| 2 | Burning Instinct | Pyromaniac | 150 |
| 3 | Frigid Fate | Unleash | 150 |

Limits and safe transitions
Several setup spells make brief and scattered encounters less convenient. This profile is a concrete endgame alternative, not a proven universal class ranking.
Verify resource sustain, protection and core items together before increasing difficulty. An author’s test with particular gear, density or boss phases does not prove identical performance on every character.
