Run a Ghom test. Bets way to see which is better. But honestly that is a pretty bad Furnace. You would have been better off just rerolling the base dmg if what you rerolled wasnt a soc.
Yeah I wasn't sure if 10% or re-rolling damage was going to be more effective....looks like a I chose wrong?
Thanks for the feedback...think Ill try craft a better Devastator and gamble for an ancient FB offhand. Probably going to be much quicker than waiting for an Ancient Furnace.
Ghom dies super quick...not sure if that will be a useful test at all.
I have tested in ptr, I have furnace 3770 dps, pretty good one, and crafter ancients devastator 2830 dps, I say what devastator was a little weaker on elites but a lot stronger on white mobs and with 2.1.2 only white mobs are more dense so you will do better overall
But you furnace is bad so I think it will be outperformed on elites too
After 445 paragon levels a Furnace finally dropped for me and I got all excited and used a gift and re-rolled for 10% damage.

After a few T6 runs I am feeling a bit disappointed and feel like my Ancient Devastator plus FB off hand + Cindercoat was stronger.
To use a furnace I have to give up the following. (51% fire damage and 10% CC)

Any thoughts?... is Furnace no longer any good unless its Ancient?
Yes
