best dps setup for firestorm (bossing / mapping)
|
currently running firestorm > conc effect > fire pen > elemental focus > controlled destruction > spell echo.
I am not sure controlled destruction is the best choice here. What do you guys think (or can calculate) for best dps? Also is there an alternative setup / gem swap for bossing instead of maps? Last bumped on Feb 6, 2018, 4:47:20 PM

The answer to this is almost always "it depends", since your other gear and passives make a difference too.
Your best bet is to grab Path of Building and see what it says; by default it will list support gems in order of calculated DPS... |

" I would usually agree, but I don't think PoB actually calculates firestorm dps (since it is very difficult / impossible). Question might be more geared towards "what does every one else use"? |

I actually prefer CWC ScorchStorm. CWC at high levels is worth a lot of cast speed on normal Firestorm, easily equivalent to Spell Echo, it's infinitely easier on your mana than naked Firestorm is, and Scorching Ray's debuff/extra damage helps a lot on boss critters. Both spells scale almost exactly the same way, to boot. Get one of those new Elder body armors (or corrupt something else) with +1 Active Skill Gem level and you're doing pretty damn good.
Then use Siege Firestorm so it looks like you're designating a target for artillery with your Scorching Ray beam. That part is critically important, cannot emphasize strongly enough how vital Siege Firestorm MTX is for this combo. She/Her

" Do you have a sample PoB setup I can see for cwc sr + firestorm? My acc is public if you wanna start off where I am: https://pastebin.com/AUeBMyU5 Last edited by Furor_Dei#3829 on Feb 6, 2018, 4:48:24 PM
