I'm sorry but I want to be sure we're on the same page before I use a gift. I see a major disparity between the Sparker and the Ancient Devastator in dmg. Are you saying that it's not even close, that a non-ancient Sparker is the way to go? I'm currently over 90% fire increase, 25.2% IAS, 50% cc and 501% cd, but I do not have many ancient items yet on my wiz (I believe only 3 total including the Devastator) so my Int might not be high enough to make this work.
Here are the stats for both items:
Serpent Sparker
2291.5
1.40 attacks per sec
1420-1854 damage
+1098-1328 fire dmg
+10% (rolled)
+711 int
10% resource cost reduction
(no socket yet - debating on using gift)
Devastator
2872.3
1.20 attacks per sec
2062-2725 damage
+1559-1892 fire dmg
18% fire
+10% (rolled)
+982 int
socket (gifted)
I'm also using TnT gloves (50% boost to pets), Toxin gem, Pain Enhancer, and Enforcer gem. Currently, i'm at 1.50 attacks per second with the Devastator. My sheet dps (unbuffed) is 1.3m and I'm running Blizzard and Mammoth Hyrdra.

Thanks for the help.
