[The Idea]
Use the FB-6 bonus to debuff targets so that all non-disintegrate fire attacks from the Wizard and the other party members trigger the FB-6 150,000% dot tick.
[How it works]
FB-6 Wiz casts Disintegrate on targets. The entire party uses non-Disintegrate fire attacks to trigger the 150k% dot tick. More attack speed = more dot triggers. More dot triggers = more damage to targets.
[The Inspiration]
DMKT’s Nat-6/Mara-4 Fire Multishot group build is what got me thinking. Its a 4-man group build that employs 2x N6/M4 DH’s for DPS. So the group would be the 2x DHs, 1x FB-6 Wiz, and 1x zDPS. The Wiz debuffs targets. The DH’s go full ham during CoE fire cycle dumping Multishots. With enough iAS and possibly globes to hatred via Reaper’s Wraps, they can blow their full load in between the fire cycle and be back to full just b4 the fire cycle. The idea is to have 10 turrets and 2 DH’s spraying Multishots that trigger the FB-6 150k% dot tick (6 triggers per DH Multishot cast). At 3 ApS it would mean 36 triggers per second total across both DHs. The DH’s already do high damage at a high attack rate so, each Multishot attack applies their damage, their AD, and the FB-6 dot tick.

[The Flood Gate Opener]
- Swap out the N6/M4 Multishot build for any other high damage, high attack speed, fire based build such as Rapid Fire Bombardment, UE-6 Multishot, UE-6 Hungering Arrow-Serrated arrow (which is not pierce capped), or any fire based attack.
- Swap out the either of the DH’s for any other class that brings a high damage fire based build such as Fire Sweep Crusader, Barb Earthquake-Molten Fury, Barb HotA-Smash, WD Poison Dart-Flaming Dart, etc.
This could open up opportunities for lesser played builds to get into 4-man groups, which is the proverbial open flood gates. Let’s see some DPS Barb action, some DPS DH, DPS Monk, and DPS Sader action in 4-man groups. Just bring who and whatever you got and hit the GRs.
[What this is NOT]
This will not compete against the top group meta compositions. Its not intended to and does not need to. My idea isn’t for those looking to be within the top 10 on the leaderboard in season 23.
[What is needed]
Testing. We need to find out which fire spells for each class trigger the FB-6 dot tick and which do not. Currently, there is a bug where some Wiz fire spells are not triggering the FB-6 dot tick such as WoF-Heat Wave, Hydras, and the fire rune on the Blizzard spell. So we just test and post results of what worked and what did not.
[How to test]
- First nerf the damage if possible. Test with less damage to confirm if the FB-6 dot is being triggered.
- Second test with full damage engaged. Pop your buffs and see how much damage you can push out and how high you can take your group.
For example, I would test with FB-6 and 1 N6/M4 DH. Have the DH cast only 1 turret and test the damage against a high HP target (3 or 4 Multishots to see the damage range). Next, debuff the target with Disintegrate and retest with just 1 turret (another 3 to 4 Multishots to see if FB-6 is getting triggered). Assuming, FB-6 is getting triggered, its time to take the setup to GRs and go full ham. Post the results of those tests. Its important to get the failed triggers exposed. We need the devs to fix the FB-6 trigger so that ALL non-Disintegrate fire spells work.
I have a FB-6 Wiz non-season on the PTR with like 2900 keys so I’m ready to test when you guys are ready.
