I’m comparing a few ancestral staffs of endless rage, and they have greater affixes on different things. One has it on 112% chance for fireball to cast twice, the other +8 fireball. Neither is needed for build, I’m just collecting uniques. Neither has been masterworked.
Let’s say I masterwork to rank 12 and get 200% chance for fireball to cast twice, does that mean it casts 4 times, every time?
Chance to cast twice is chance to cast TWICE, no percentage changes the verbiage. If you have a GA on it, its generally pointless to hit it with MW crits. Hell, even with no GA on it, it is not unlikely that it will get to >95% chance with no crits on the way to 12/12
I like the way you think. That would be pretty cool to see. Fireball x4! I do like the way that staff looks too. I have enjoyed my humongous hydras this season… sometimes it’s just about the flair.
I was clearing pit 85 last season as a fireball sorc and dropping T4 lilith. The main issue i found with it is that it if you use illuminators, it does its best dps when you can place the boss/enemies in the middle of, essentially, the cone area of effect.
If you cant place them there due to space constraints, you suffer a pretty big dps loss. Small rooms during pits or narrow hallways were murder
I got a 3GA Staff of Endless Rage to drop from one of the Season Rewards caches this season. Also got a 3GA hydra amulet from another Season Rewards cache this season. Season Reward caches are the way to go when it comes to getting multiple GA Uniques.
Just make sure you run UC tributes for ancestral legendaries and choose the passive stat on amulets upgrade for 50M gold.
I got a 3GA (int, permafrost, inner flames) ammy that gave me a reason to drop hydra for chain lightning this season. If there was ever a priceless item in D4… this is it.
As for the staff… I played fireball in S6 and yes… the +8 fireball goes to +16 when triple crit. I also had the gloves and mythic core skill upgrades that had my fireball at like +40.
Jesus! That’s insane. I got a 2GA amulet to drop last season which the GAs fell on % Intelligence & Ranks to Primordial Binding. Rolled Ranks to Glass Cannon via Enchanting & used said amulet for my Lightning Spear Sorc build. Of course Blizzard nuked Lightning Spear into oblivion via ridiculous nerfs - making it utterly useless. They did the same with Blood Spirit Necro - making Blood Artisan’s Cuirass utterly useless.
