Awakened Cast on Critical Strike Support + Firestorm
Hello, I believe there may be a bugged interaction between ACoC/CoC and Firestorm, to get straight to the point it seems to be doing significantly less damage than POB would suggest it is doing, to the point that one of my primary sources of damage currently is using Frostblink.
My thought process is that the "maximum 3 Firestorms at a time" modifier on Firestorm may be causing this issue somehow, I have tested out other skills such as Arc, Ice nova, Crackling Lance and Ice spear and there is a notable difference in damage output. https://poe.ninja/pob/Ydk ^ My current PoB if anyone would like to double check that I haven't made any silly mistakes that I did not notice.

Yep, this has been an issue since 3.21. Firestorm used to work properly prior to the current patch, wherein you can have any number of main meteors hit, but only have a maximum of 3 ongoing storms (the little hits), so CoC or other means of increasing cast/trigger speed was very viable.
This patch however, when you are spawning >3 (based on my testing) meteors at a time through CoC for instance, the hits are ENTIRELY de-registered. Tested this extensively with shock values to confirm. Really unfortunate and has yet to be noticed by GGG, killing essentially a great chunk of Firestorm builds, from totems to CoC. |

I'm really butthurt about it, I guess I was somehow getting through stuff just fine but then I realized that my frostblink was hitting bosses for like 25% of their health and realized something was clearly wrong, I've now switched to arc and it's working just fine, but I really wanted to use firestorm. I bought the celestial MTX and everything, guess it was just a waste of money =/
