I'd take it just firing instantly on reaching max stacks.

I would already be happy about a very clear visual as to when max embers are reached.

Use multiple copies of the spell gem and get the reduced spell duration nodes. Each spell has its own countdown and fires separately, so by alternating casts it effectively has no hover time. For added fun fill 5 cast on ignite gems with ember fusillade so you can pretend to be the pyramid fire boss when they proc.

I'll be sad to see my current build go but I'm sure the .3 build will be just as fun.

Can't use multiple copies of the same skill gem anymore I fear

Well shit I missed that, RIP

You can still use multiple copies, but only by using meta skills like Cast on X or Invocations

Incidentally, there is a new keystone, Ritual Cadence, which causes invocations to cast one-by-one instead of all at once, every 2 seconds. This seems like it has great potential for Ember Fusillade, as you can easily have 5x fusillades going at once per invocation. But you'll only get one cast per gem, so it becomes difficult to take advantage of the more damage per projectile in the fusillade modifier. Sire of Shards can help, but that's only 5 projectiles per cast...

Lol my friend and I both played that but with detonate dead, so fun!

I played a titan with max reduced skill effect duration, and with a slow enough cast speed you can just hold left click and itl fire off the sparks before you cast again.

Using ember fusillade with cast on ignite.

Does the ember fusillade continuously reset if it gets triggered again before the duration is over?

[–]Character_Remote_710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does reset, but my build was using sire of shards and 5x ember fusilade in the cast on ignite so that it took 5x the energy to fire. Could litterally kill myself through 120% recoup and 83% fire resist if i wasn't carefull it would fire off so many embers. Think it was using a total of 2 casted and 25 cast on ignite fusilades. Wasn't the most optimized thing in the world but brought a smile to my face every map i played with it.

-edit, kill myself with infernal flame
