I have finally crafted the Devastator of my dreams, about as nice as I can ask for pre-rolled. The question is, can you roll off a Ramaldni's Gift socket, and then use another gift on it? If yes, what do I roll me extra socket to, CDR or 10% damage? Playing firebird's clearly, but not sure what's worth more
No you cannot keep using gifts on items then rolling the socket off to add affixes.
I understand you couldn't indefinitely, but I haven't rolled this item yet. I want to roll off the socket granted by gift and then use another gift and be done with it.
Furnance>Maximus>Serpent Sparker>Any other 2h>Any other 1h. Salvage it.
So he/she should run around fist-fighting while waiting for any of them to drop? Devastator is as good as any 1h with a decent roll, even better if you're running a fire spec. Sheet dps is humbug.
He can gamble 2h weapon for 15 shards and use it. 99% it will be better than best rolled devastator.

Depends on the build.
Are you going to ignore that he is also carrying an offhand that also can have amazing stats. I have yet to find a better 2h that has dropped that is better than my Aether Walker and Trium combo. That includes a 3500 dps 2h thats top end damage is almost 1k more then the top end of my Aether. I'm not fire based though.

Op is firebird remember that. Firebird doesnt care about attack speed and dps. Its all about that dmg fork stated below huge dps number.

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you think you can use the gift on it --> roll it to another stat --> use a second gift I think you are wrong.
Only one gift per weapon can be used. As it is right now, you can reroll one of your primary stats to something else (I'm guessing you will want to switch out the RCD with damage+ ) and then add a gift to it.
Isn't better use a Cindercoat instead of Magefist? the Cost reduction could help a lot.
Also, what do you guys think about a Sun keeper + Off hand?
Mostly people prefer Magefist as you get an extra main stat from it. And 30% less cost aint make or break for firebirds.
I don't value sun keeper high tbh. You really need to get lucky with high amount of elites to make it work and even then depending on your overall + elite damage on gear it still might be worse than your average 2 hander for firebirds build. Though the same applies for Devastator, given you can make a perfect Devastator which makes it somewhat higher on stuff.
In any case 1 hander combos are behind mostly cause not only inferior weapon dps, but faster attack speed which even compared to a maximus is noticable difference on the amount Firebirds ticks. And yes you do gain 10% crit(and 20% fire is you ain't running Maximus) from offhand to boost Firebirds up again, but from my tests it just ain't enough.
