Incinerate Fire Sorc vs Tormented Uber Duriel 

@@StarEclipse775 You have to realize on the internet people whine and exaggerate for everything they aren’t happy about. And many of the people complaining don’t creat builds, so a lot of the tears is from the standpoint of not understanding how the changes really translate into the buildcraft. And even my Damage is low compared to the upper potential. I’ve seen 140-150M/sec on a boss by someone else. The main crux is investing in the relevant stats and scalers. Get Burning Damage up, and use multipliers from passives and aspects.

Yeah you cant just throw on any piece of gear and expect to do a lot of damage, you have to focus on the multipliers and synergies and have good affixes and stats. I just got my first Uber unique item, now to masterwork it. But yes you're right, though i dont think on druid ill ever reach 20 mil damage, might be possible, i dont know. Im tanky and can clear high tier NM dungeons and the Pit but Tormented bosses have so much health that without a group or a carry from a friend which im getting soon i dont think i can solo them. Edit: I also try to make my build a bit different from the standard, i dont fully copy other builds even if they are META, whatever works best for me and my playstyle. Seems thats what you did as well.

@@StarEclipse775 Yea. Mine has a lot of damage, but it could be higher. However I have a “Fire Mage” theme I stick to, so a lot of the ice effects which provide extra multipliers I don’t use or benefit from due to that self-limitation. Druid has some decent scalers, but I think it’s been neglected in the buff department lately.

@@kestononline True, its also getting 3 star equipment for perfect affixes, which is all RNG, and only 1 enchantment affix reroll so it takes a bit of luck to have a perfect build as well. I assumed fire mage, incinerator is really good, i was using alts for helltide using incinerator sorc. I wonder if i should level one of them to 100. Druid can clear high end content and is good for bosses in most cases, but it depends on the build, some builds are better for aoe mass damage and some are better for single target boss damage and some are good for both. Ive seen videos of druids doing much more damage then me and that's what i strive for. Btw the only ice effect i was using on my sorc's was ice shield.

@@StarEclipse775 Most of my gear was 0-star or 1-star until I was clearing T90 in the Pit and was at MW 4-8/12 on most things. Damage started to hit a wall about then. And only really upgraded to 2-stars and progressed to MW 12/12 once those were the only places left to squeeze power from for higher pushing. Don’t think any of my gear is 3-star.

@@RC_Trailblazers On a Legendary Staff, you get 275-325 INT, 500+ DoT/Fire-DoT (scaled to x2-2.8 via BI), 110-120% Damage, and Flamethrower aspect 170% of normal Incinerate Damage per beam (which is +70%; vs the 85% of normal when used on the focus which is a 15% nerf to your damage). Up close on larger enemies and bosses, that’s 510% (staff) vs 255% (1H+Focus). While Incinerate ranks in general do contribute heavily to damage, the ranks you get on Flamescar just cannot compete with the things I mentioned in the paragraph above. In addition, 1H+Focus attacks for half the amount but at higher frequency of attacks. But since the mana-cost of skills stay the same, the mana drain is much more; forcing you to use mana-options somewhere instead of a DPS or defense stat. Currently many Uniques need an overhaul to compete with the power bumps we got in Season 4, with tempering etc. Flamescar sadly is one of those. It has a place if you want it for the Lucky Hit and CDR stacking for a nuanced setup playing off those things… but not for damage output.

@@pearlblack9753 Sorc has had single options for a long time. It’s just that most people follow the farm-type METAs which stack multipliers and rely on ALOT of CC that comes hand in hand with cold skills. And those cold skills were often of the AoE variety like Blizzard, Frost Orb, etc. I have clips on the channel of my Lilith fight from last season and it melted her just as fine. If only source info from what’s popular, you’ll be in the dark a lot. So much more viable options every season than just those.

@@vea1sven162 It is linked in the description text already 😜

I’m not a streamer or content creator. Just a regular guy who plays Diablo 4 that uploads his clips. It’s not for views/clicks, or likes (no custom thumbnails would be the first hint). I like to watch my vids when I don’t feel like opening the game, and it feels like I am playing 😂

Where is the data to support this claim? Rubbish.

@@kestononline why even upload at all then? just take the feedback and work on it. stop getting so defensive.

@@jordanearl5449 Bro I literally mentioned half my reason I upload in my response. Sharing because it helps myself, others in the community, as well as making it easy to link to on Reddit when needed. I do not need to manipulate the YT algorithm or people’s attention for that.
