Version, purpose and verified scope
Ring of Fire and current Firewall scaling form the baseline; Meteor and Unstable Currents supply matching hits and buffs. This Standard setup retains Flame Shield, while the separate Madman variant trades that protection for Hydra.
Patch family 3.2.3; level 70. Source variant: Standard version. Author revision: 2026-10-19T21:40:54. 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 Firewall at the effective fight location, maintain Ice Armor and use Meteor plus Unstable Currents for damage windows. Teleport handles repositioning. Hold Flame Shield for critical situations instead of consuming it during setup without a defensive need.

|---|---|
| 1 | Meteor |
| 2 | Teleport |
| 3 | Flame Shield |
| 4 | Ice Armor |
| 5 | Firewall |

Limits and safe transitions
A push build with setup time and position-dependent damage. The more offensive Madman bar is not an unconditional upgrade for every character.
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.
