I feel like at least frostfire bolt with empowerment should be guaranteed crit to benefit hot streak procs. Also with them dropping the living bomb part of excess fire its makes living bomb talents even more pointless than they already are.
So I think the LB part is actually pretty healthy, since it paves the way for tuning those talents in such a way that doesn’t basically require running FF given how frequently it generates the procs.
Generally though, inclined to agree. Kind of feels like you’re throwing everything about Fire out the window to prioritize sending / not wasting the constant stream of procs (vs. e.g. trying not to munch SKB stacks and trying to pool for Combust). Can’t say I entirely hate it though - find myself rarely casting FFB in filler because there’s almost always something instant cast to prioritize. With that comes a ton of mobility and always feeling like I have something to do compared to say Sunfury UI.
