So before the patch, I was gearing up for Firestarter since a lot of fire gear dropped for me. I know there is a bug with Darklight, but I would still like to make Firestarter work to farm T6 decently/efficiently for both solo or group so I can move away from Firestarter to get into other builds. I'm not looking to push high on grifts since I don't really care about that. I tried to do Act 1 bounties and died several times . Any suggestions at all for more survivability? Perhaps I should just move away from Firestarter and just use Prophet with Fist of Heavens Heaven's Tempest? I am by no means geared optimally and I am currently trying a Maximus but just feels slow (for obvious reasons). Thanks. By the way, like I said, I don't have any +holy, lighting, cold, or physical damage gear. Purely fire.

Since you mention that you're really just trying to make your current build stable enough to farm for other builds I won't suggest major gear changes but if you need to tank up a bit and you don't want to drop all of that firestarter damage you can try dropping laws of valour/critical and replacing it with laws of justice/immovable object. Especially with the longarm passive on your hellfire you can get a lot of extra defence which will hopefully at least allow you to survive T6 so you can farm towards the builds you really want. Alternately you may want to try wrathful instead of indestructible, the extra heal might be more valuable than a second life but you'll have to test and see what works better for you.

Hey thanks for the suggestion. I will give Wrathful a shot. I had completely forgotten about that and it makes sense to use. I did try out Laws of Justice/Immovable Object yesterday and I did last a bit longer. So hopefully this will work, and I'll just learn to avoid things better.
