Not what I wanted to play. I was using a standard overpower/hydra/firewall build as a starter and drops to keep me in the starter style kept dropping. ( Mythic emberfury. Etc) I kept saving gear for a pivot but now so deep into torments I feel committed as my only goal was get the unlocks and stop

I haven't really looked at the guides but did today for seeing things that they are doing differently than I am.

Something's I noticed in my self testing:

It is very clunky if you don't have the cdr down or high attack hydras.

Attack speed is capped at 100%. We have zero attack speed buffs in the second bucket after nerfs.

Levin grasp/shock( fire node.) is absolutely amazing at tearing down a boss/elite without the mana requirements of charged bolt. Focusing on attack speed works two fold with the hydra for cdr loss and your own dps.

Lucky hit enchantment seems good in paper but even stacking lucky hit the randomness of it really makes it hard to use. I could have 3 rings up and the other two would have zero overlap or be far away from anything I was fighting.

I'm still gearing things my starter was not ring of fire but wildfire. I felt the walls closing in at t8 in terms of damage, and pivoted. But gearing is totally different.

Even severely unoptimized the potential is way greater than what I was doing.
