So, messing around in my wizard, having a blast. Using an offshoot of the cookie cutter Firebird hydra set(though no firebird or hydra wand xD). I've been using Toxin with Apoc Blizzard and have been loving it. I've been indecisive with my 3rd gem(Zei's isnt doing me that much right now due to me not being super kitey yet). I started dabbling with Pain Enhancer. I know it works with Blizzard(tested it). However, I have some questions regarding both gems.
1) Do they work together? With how DoTs work, it's hard to tell. I assume both are usable together, but want to verify.
2) Can Toxin ticks proc Pain bleeds?
3) Are there any interactions with these 2 gems and the Firebird DoT?
Yes, they work together. Many of Meathead Miquel's builds use this combo. As to proc rates, that is dependent on the specific skills. I'm pretty sure they do not proc eachother, however, because most dots average their damage and don't actually crit.
Toxin can not proc Pain Enhancer, since it is "white damage" it does.
Pain Enhancer needs a critical hit to proc - therefore it actually is not a really good choice for Firebird wizards.
But, for instance, Bane of The Trapped, when you are in close vicinity to enemies proc's the toxin gem (I tested this now in season on my monk, on GR1 I just walk through the mobs and they die without me even attacking them).
