General Build
As Ardeos, you’re heavily DoT based and Cinder generation can be slow early on, so we need to buff up our abilities through Talents to let us keep up while we scale. With this in mind we’ll be playing a Fire Ball based build early on and transition to a Fire Frogs based build as we start getting more secondary stats.

Great Balls Of Fire is going to do a lot of the heavy lifting as we progress through the leagues. Alongside this we want to pick up Firestarter for the massive increase to our output and Undying Flame for a significant boost to generation and single target damage.
When we have more points we can look into getting the Infernal Wave talents for additional single target damage and Slow Burn to maintain Engulfing Flames and Searing Blaze in all situations.
Once our secondary stats start improving we'll transition to Fire Frogs, swapping Great Balls Of Fire for Frog Squad and Reign Of Fire for Pyrophibian Frenzy. Ideally aim for 15%-20% of both Haste and Crit before transitioning.
Late game when we have 30%+ Crit we'll want to swap Flare Up for Spontaneous Combustion for even more Frogs!
Fire Ball
If you enjoy the Fire Ball build from earlier leagues and prefer a more active playstyle then a Fire Ball build could work for you. While lacking in single target output Fire Ball is very usable and functions well while farming gear.

For a Fire Ball centric build we want to start with Great Balls Of Fire and Firestarter. Once we have enough talent points we'll add Reign Of Fire which adds significant burst to our profile. Although it is on a proc so it can be unreliable. Other than that Slow Burn gains some extra value with a Fire Ball build and we want to make to pick our usual powerful talents such as Undying Flame.
Once you have 30%+ Crit chance you can drop Flare Up for Spontaneous Combustion.
