Playtested a bit after leveling up the Bane of the Powerful to 25 (I already had a 25 Mirinae).
I love Mirinae for Rift Guardians, where it can add as much as 50% extra DPS when there are no adds on the screen. But after running with BotP it wasn't close. The latter significantly improved my run speed, and had nearly 90% uptime running T6 rifts. I may move to 2 gems soon and Mirinae will definitely be the second, but as much as I love its concept I'll have to stick with BotP for the time being.
no, you cant replace RoRG, I have a 8cdr Vigilante, tried it, the captain set is way better, the bonus from the set AND the cost reduction is not replaceable by the belt. You lost 2CDR+the cost reduction, when you out of wrath, that means death, cus for shotgun procs 3 of the bean each shot...those LOH is live saving, in solo (unity+SOJ) isnt better than RORG+SOJ in survivablity. Besides if you want to roll CDR on unity, you will loose a lot dps from the stat....Gem wise, it's diminishing above 33 level, melee sux in high level even plus the new gems.
I wholeheartedly disagree. The IAS on RoRG is essentially worthless in a Shotgun build. You're giving up a primary affix of your choice for 2% CDR (effectively 1/4 of an affix) and another affix that you would never put on a piece of gear by choice.
Not only are you statistically better off in my opinion, but this provides the flexibility to switch rings (ie: Unity) without otherwise switching gear.
