what do u think if I did this build but instead went meteor not fire wall, and got to lets say lv85, put some extra points into meteor.
the only cold immunes you really need to bother with are unravelers, ghoul lords, gorebellies and maybe some stray claw vipers that spawn in the altar.
both firewall and meteor work decently against them because they all have controllable or mostly static movements or are in a confined altar, and both deal fire damage over time that deactivates enemy regeneration
claw vipers and gorebellies are size 3 so they take full damage from firewall, unravelers and ghoul lords generally take 66-100%
but firewall can be spammed repeatedly to speed up its overlapping DPS; each firewall cast is effectively worth its duration * dps since they fully stack.
10 firewall / 1 mastery does about 900 DPS for 3.56 seconds so about 3200 damage, starting immediately and finishing within 3.5 seconds
11 meteor / 1 mastery does 516 impact damage per cast and 192 per second which lasts a long time but is low dps (7.16 seconds). Its damage is only dropped after 2.4 seconds and generally only lasts a few fire overlaps per monster, its pretty random
point being, meteor deal way less damage than firewall for low skill points invested. You could drop a 900/s for 3.5 second firewall or a 516 meteor after 2.4 delay for the same skill points
if you were going to invest 40+ skill points in it, firewall would deal 3.6k per second and meteor would do 2.6k per impact.
