Full Build Details

One of my favorite build so far, it is incredibely powerful and not too hard to play.

Breakthoughs

Shamanic Resonance : Very powerful as it provides you damages and resistances and even more impact, it is also quite useful to keep you cool or warm. And you may use the wind sigil to combo with spark but i think you should focus on the fire sigil only.

Leyline Connection : You shouldn't take this breakthough if you are only needing mana, plz buy MANA POTIONS instead, easy to get and doesn't consume you a breakthough point. Here, we are mainly looking for the Fire Affinity, giving your more damage and some fire resistance that is going to be useful because of Immolate.

Well of Mana : Giving you more mana but more importantly, advanced runic combos and increased powerful effects, always bring with you a lexicon to give you some resistances and free healing. However, i think it is more a quality of life breakthough than anything else, hex mage would be fine too to get more damage and sustain to your build.

Passive skills from the specialist

Brains : We are only going to do fire damage so you don't have reasons to not take it, just keep an eye on your stamina bar.

Unsealed : A must have, make all your fights easier and with some enemies that won't allow you to play in your sigil, to cast a new one mid-fight.

Cruelty : Most of the time, enemies will be burned so it gives you a bit more damage and because of our low physical resistance, not a big trouble to get it down.

Stuff

Obviously going for damage, as long as you destroy everything, you don't really need any defense. Enchanting the helmet and boots with AEGIS and the chestplate with SPIRIT OF LEVANT to get more fire damage. you will look ugly but your enemies won't live enough to see it. I rly think you want a backpack that allow you to roll with it because of all the stuff you will need to carry, but it is also totally playable if you drop your backpack, just don't forget to keep with you the fire stones. And don't forget to enchant your staff with INHERITANCE OF THE PAST, not the most important but it is always better than nothing. Finally, Chimera Pistol to put down elemental vulnerability easily, you won't use it often but quite good to get against bosses.

Faction

You might go for Levant to get even more damage, but Holy Mission is fine, it gives a ton of QoL.

Items

Fire stones : Easy to make, oil that you can find and buy almost anywhere and mana stone that every alchemist will sell you in towns. Buy everhting you need to make them and keep a good amount on you everytime and you will be fine.

Mana potions : You might sometimes need some in your playthough. But anyway, always keep some potions with you, atleast to get your boons.

Playstyle

With this build, most of the time you will only put fire sigil and spam spark, as you annihilate everything, however for harder fights, try to prepare yourself a bit before. Reload your gun, boons, full mana, runes buff. Start by putting down your fire sigil and cast immolate and then cast your ring of fire. And launch your fireballs between hits and easy fight as long as you dodge well.
