Love having to run full vigor and fire gem for this class specifically

[@RAW_Fit]

😂 you are not wrong, busted build! But wars are wars, gotta slave the meta until it's nerfed if you want to stand a chance!

[@xNanoEL6x]

100 STR 150 CON and all rest INT (arround 364) better for exploting BB, and Fire Harnessing in the gear because increases FS and BB damage (-health or -refreshing)

[@RAW_Fit]

I do enjoy me some 100str and 350 int! Works very well too! No need for fire harnessing. Empowerment cap will be near max already with just the runeglass, honing stone, and ring stacked with FS passive/ult. Runeglass and honing stone alone is 15%

[@atvkid0805]

fireball & pest are getting nerfed pretty soon, they said in a minor patch some time this month

[@inaworld9850]

Fireball dmg doesnt need nerf, radius does though.

[@michaelclayton1808]

It’s like chunking a refrigerator at ppl. Hard to miss.

[@juantrikpwny]

Have you tested with just 25 STR? I noticed (at least with bow) that I'm getting the damage increase on heavies just from the 25. Could see 25 dex or 25 focus being absolutely great for this build. Never actually played FS/BB, just some food for thought.

[@RAW_Fit]

I have but scaling beyond 400 in any stat starts to get really bad diminishing returns. It would def still be very good!

[@juantrikpwny]

huh? I never said go above 400 int..

[@RAW_Fit]

@@juantrikpwny oh I see you wanted me to try the 25 points from str in dex or focus. The only issue is you lose DMG for both firestaff and BB. It wouldn't be terrible to have 25 focus but at that point I'd prob run the attuned pants to just have the added 50 stats. Ahh theory crafting.. it'll send ya down a rabbit hole of thoughts! Lol

[@putthatcookiedown9941]

Can I ask why you don't take last point in net shot ? I get 600 to 700 tic bleeds on that alone. Just curious thanks great content bro

[@RAW_Fit]

It's not a bad perk but it only adds 35% more damage if I'm not correct and is a 3 second dot that with desert sunrise and a little vigor becomes a 2 second dot now nullifying that added 35% DMG. The other big factor is my FS is mostly my opener and has a ton of passive burns when I switch to my BB I just want a fat burst of DMG to finish them off and not give them a chance to heal.

[@putthatcookiedown9941]

@@RAW_Fit yeah that's a fair point. I'm really loving the emerald gem I feel it's amazing burst damage to finish them off

[@RAW_Fit]

@@putthatcookiedown9941 me too!

[@Burglxr]

I finally played you last night in OPR. Not a fun time😂😭

[@RAW_Fit]

🤣😜

[@boykun8069]

why can't I put runeglass on my pestilence?

[@xda369]

I think it has anti heal already so no socket

[@RAW_Fit]

Go to faction vendor buy a "gem socket" and then go to gypsum kiln. Should be able to then.

[@boykun8069]

@@RAW_Fit i cant find, this on paladin right?

[@boykun8069]

@@RAW_Fit thank you, I found it in lumen, is this gems socket better than the flame attunement perk?

[@RAW_Fit]

@@boykun8069 yes flame attunement procs once every 1.5 secs and my finishing BB combo is 3-4 shots hitting within 1-2 secs. you'll simply get more overall burst.

[@Jayson_Tatum]

Ah can't wait for this cheese to get nerfed lol 😂
