So, I ended up adding the gift to my Ancient Golden Flense and switched over to my 6 piece Roland's gear and a Shield Bash build. Loving it!
I haven't had a chance to try a GRift yet, but for normal Rifts/Bounties I went from 25-30 million crits to 400+ million - 1.4+ billion crits. Such a huge upgrade!
Still need to optimize most gear, but it's a start.
I'll give it a try tomorrow. Gonna gamble for my last piece of Roland's too. I already have a RoRG equipped, as well as a CoE. I may swap the RoRG out for a nice SoJ I have until I get a better F&R.
So roll the 10% back to a socket. It will still be better than than your FotF because 1. It will still have 200 something DPS higher and 2. It's ancient(so has a lot more Str and it even has LoH, something you'll need in higher rifts. Rolling back to a socket, it's barely worse than my Warmonger and I can do upper 40's.
If you have a RoRG go ahead and use it until you get your 6th piece of Roalnd's, you'll be clearing 40's in no time.
So, do you think changing the 10% back to a socket and the fact that's it's an ancient would make up for the loss of the 2 extra beams from Heaven's Fury? I think each of those extra beams do the un-runed skill damage of 1710% over 6 seconds, right?
You can even use that spark, just re-roll a socket into it.
Well, I've already rolled off something for 10% damage, which means I'd have to apply a gift, which you recommended I not do.
If I had 5-10 gifts I wouldn't hesitate to use one, but this is only the 3rd once I've ever found, so I really only want to use them on a great weapon.
Thanks. Roland's is actually the direction I want to go. So far I have 5 pieces of Rolands, but only 2 or 3 are ancient. I also have the Drakon's bracer, too.
Never seen a Furnace drop and had only 1 or 2 non-ancient Blood Brother's drop. Getting a decent weapon is proving to be the hardest thing.
...but, try as I might, I can't seem to get an ancient Fate of the Fell to drop, let alone some other ancient 2-handed flail, like The Mortal Drama, so I can try another build.
Currently I can breeze through T6, but can't break GRift level 29. I know my gear isn't optimized, mainly to only recently playing my Crusader again, but I was wondering about switching to an ancient 2-handed instead of sticking with my current Fate of the Fell.
What I have in my vault is...
Arthef's Spark of Life
4210.8 dps
3908-4513 damage
1.0 aps
1816-2191 damage
10% damage
1273 strength
33,120 lph
I rolled the old socket into 10% damage and have a single gift I could apply to it, but I was curious if losing the 2 additional rays of Heaven's Fury would be worth the dps increase the Spark would give me, even though it has a "meh" legendary effect?
Comparing the weapons without the emerald in the FotF, I would gain 17% damage, 1.2% toughness and 219% recovery.
My gut is telling me to swap to the Spark and hope I get an Ancient FotF, Mortal Drama or Furnace to drop, but I really hate wasting a gift, especially since I've only seen 3 drop since season 2 started, whenever that was.
Anyways, your input would be appreciated.

If nothing else, I guess I can try it tonight.
Thanks, again.

Currently I am running a build that utilizes Fist of the Heavens and Heaven's Fury, see below...
