just out of curiosity, how much fire penetration did you have attached to the flameblast, both from passives and the gem (and any other sources, i guess). And did you have the crabs' fire resist lowered via a curse or EE when you tested?.

I avoided fire pen for the test. I could not get rid of the 5% i have from the tree. I did not lower the crabs resist via EE/curse or fire pen gem.

I did that on one Flameblaster already. It died from unrelated issues.

I did not like the stress of worrying about reflect though. Vaal pact and leech seems like the more relaxed and care free style of play.

I can now charge my blast however much I want and know it will be fine. I have more options in flask and I dont have to check my flask charges available. Whatever bad luck brings a Rare Monster with elemental reflect leaping into the pack I target is a non-issue. That is simple quality of life for me :)
