I tend to agree, but why even limit this to the signature skills?
Fragment of Destiny:
Your Primary, Secondary and Force skills attack 50% faster and deal 250-350% increased damage.

Changing Storm Crow to “Lightning skills also count as Fire skills” could be sweet…
Would be great with the Firebirds set!
As well as Cindercoat and Magefist.
I have gently to disagree on this. Shame of Delsere should be the legendary item, that functions as the general multiplicator for primaries. Fragment of Destiny should stay for Spectral Blade.
There are actually so many possibilities with new legendary powers f.e. that Spectral Blade increases the damage of Explosive Blast by xxx%. What would make for a great melee playstyle that’s super tanky. With the following Bracers.
That Spectral Blade gets the Barrier Blade rune, but now also increases your Armor and Resitances by 5% per hit for 4 seconds. Up to 10 times.
However it seems that there design philosophy for Wizard is that primaries should’t be your main source of damage.
If Fragment of Destiny simply increased spectral blade’s damage (or gave it a unique effect, such as double the blades summoned); then I would agree that it could stay exclusively for spectral blade. However, the boost to the attack speed would be greatly beneficial to the Wizard’s other primary skills.
Agreed. Would be very nice.
Would be nice for all channeling skills as well - those are very underpowered on their own and that’s a reason for my former suggestion regarding FoD.
Also the channeling belt should gain a rework with a damage buff, an attack speed increase and higher RCR. Maybe like this:
Hergbrash’s Binding
Your Arcane Torrent, Disintegrate and Ray of Frost skills deal 400-500% more damage, attack 50% faster and have their resource costs reduced by 80%.
And there is another item I would like to see is:
Legendary Item X
Enemies hit by your primary or channeling skills become marked for five seconds. Your Explosive Blast now also detonates on marked targets and deals 450-600% increased damage. The damage dealt by Explosive Blast is furthermore increased by another 50% for every enemy you have currently marked, stacking up to 10. Marking an elite enemy grants maximum stacks.
I think wizard Primaries required approximately 2000% damage modifier on weapon to be anywhere near usable; Even then, wizard signature skills are very limited in range, output, or both.
This is why I cringe everytime I see a suggestion about making one of the affix-less wizard legendaries about primaries. It still stays useless. You definitely can't build around Magic Missile or Electrocute. Shock pulse, Living Lightning might be usable. Spectral Blade is the only one with the output to possibly build around, but it would need that 2000%, Depth Diggers, and some kind of neat affix.
Just look at Meteor. It required 400% from Vizier and 600% from Nilfurs, and another 900% when it only hit one target to be usable. That’s what you’re dealing with.
