So I wrote a post a little while ago about how fun the Grand Vizier is and spamming meteors all over the place. I think I'd like to stick with it for a while and so I've got a couple questions about how to make it more efficient. First off, does IAS affect your cast speeds (works like "faster cast rate" from D2)? Meaning I could spam more meteors faster?
And If that's the case would it be worth it to go with Cindercoat instead of Magefists? The coat combined with the Vizier RCR and paragon would make it almost 80% cheaper so like 10AP per cast. With Tals 3 piece, Arcanot and Astral Presence thats 9AP regen per second. So you'd never ever run out of AP.
Third, which items can roll +% meteor damage. Boots and what else? Chest? Shoulders? I think it's those three but I'm not sure. And along with that, how does the +%skill damage stat work? 25 from the staff, 15 on three pieces of equipment, thats +70% total. Does that entail an effective weapon damage of 740 * 1.7 so 1258% and is that the Damage percent that gets calculated into the Firebird DoT or does the 6-piece bonus not take that sort of thing into consideration.
Last, what skills would you all recommend as supplemental skills? Apocalypse? Blazar w/ Strongarms? This is the build I'm running currently.
Fun with lots of flashy skills that I'm reluctant to change cause they are fun to use but in the interest of being a better player I'd like to see if I could be doing anything better. Thanks for your advice!

As for everything else, I know very little mechanically about the game enough to answer any of those questions.
And may the odds be ever in your favour.
