Make sure to keep both Enduring Cry & (Vaal) Molten Shell up as much as possible. Its damage has been reduced at high levels. Maybe Enduring Flask will be mandatory. I am currently testing molten shell and vaal molten shell and most support gems do not affect it. Molten Shell - Increased Duration Support Molten Shell is very strong when using pretty much any amount of armor, Increased Duration to make it last longer 2-link Flame Dash - Enhance Support Enhance is optional here, but highly recommended to be able to Flame Dash whenever you want more consistantly Single Socket Gems Vaal Molten Shell; Increased Duration Support; Cast when Damage Taken Support; Enfeeble; Other Gems. The POE Builds Should Use Molten Shell. 21. Supported Skills deal (10-19)% more Spell Damage while you have Arcane Surge This is a Support Gem. Molten Shell Molten Shell Spell, AoE, Duration, Fire, Physical, Guard Level: (1-20) Cost: (8-12) Mana Cooldown Time: 4. It will increase the duration of any effects produced by the supported skill. 0. Requires Level 38. It sucks up gem slots like mad though. [UTILITY] Molten Shell: Cast when Damage Taken Support - will trigger Molten Shell when you take enough damage for the Gem's threshold: Molten Shell - grants extra Armour Rating and a very potent protective Shield based on it: Increased Duration Support - increases the duration of both Vaal effectsYes it does, but remember Molten Shell is practically useless with a low level CWDT. I mainly focused on the new Ancestral Call support gem. Lower levels of Cast When Damage Taken require less damage to trigger (Use Level 6 for this build).
