So I found FLAMEWEAVER gloves with +3 Devouring Blaze (Greater Affix).
Is +3 DB better than + Frozen Orb ranks on regular gloves ?
Didn’t get the chance to test both as the PTR is over now.
Didn’t notice it before but having 3 devouring blaze on gloves + 3 devouring blaze on ammy + 3 devouring blaze base would be 90% multiplicative damage to cc’d enemies. So it seems pretty OP at first glance for certain situations.
To answer the question as a non expert on this topic, my hunch is to go with the unique gloves assuming you are a FW / firebolt build bc devouring blaze is a damage multiplier. However, if you are an FO build, flameweaver is not relevant. Youd lose an aspect slot that could be used for Conceited or stormswell.
So if you want frozen orb build, dont choose flameweaver. Choose flameweaver if you are firewall / firebolt build.
It was Frozen Orb build but I had Conceited and Storm Swell already. But no +3 DB on ammy as you need Conjuration Unique ammy for this build. But to be honest I was pretty much melting everything and I felt the difference after I got Flameweaver with +3 DB. Was just wondering if it’s better than + ranks to Frozen Orb.
Good point. So my perfect drop would be Attack Speed, Crit Strike Chance and + Frozen Orb ranks. Can’t wait to try it in S4.
There’s also a new attribute for all equipment, “lucky hit chance to proc soulbrand”. Macro told me its pretty good.
Oh my god i can’t wait. Im going to put soulbrand in every equipment slot.

super niche, since chest now supplies us with + def skills. DR to close isnt great, doesnt work against trap effects, doesnt work against pit extra effects, doesnt help against ranged 1shots. Unless they buff its affixes, i dont think it can ever compete with a legendary chest, that gives us a def aspect slot with better DR. that 15% LH isnt even that good, when do u wanna use 15% LH and everything else trash(or weak) over a godly chest?
Well i know when i wanna use it, only against the dummy.
15% lucky hit gets me out of bed in the morning, and the damage reduction with barrier up is convenient and stacks up nicely with occulus teleport dodge/protection/reinforced.
