Hi guys, I started a stream for the WD FIREBAT. I think this build is amazing. Come by and chat, help me get it perfect. Im trying dif. things out with LS Skorn and 1H+Offhand
Ye id like to know the pros and cons of Skorn Vs 1h+offhand (for the Firebats mp10 high end gear)
Usually i prefered to use offhand bcs of the potencial +10%crit, just beacause of that.
U can also say that using an offhand lets u achiev + mana per second, but thats negated by the higher attack speed the 1h has. So its not an advantage.
The offhand cant roll +Fire bats dmg also.
The Skorn brings more lifesteal for the spec, but its not like u need it. You already faceroll everything with +2.8 ls.
Skorn brings, potencially, 100/150%crit dmg (knowing that the crafted 1h weps dont roll more than 65% cd)
The slower attack speed definitely makes u waste less mana per second. In consequence you can use more attack speed on your gear. I think this can be what puts the Skorn on top.
Gear wise, a black weapon is a must since we can take huge advantage from Zuni Boots and TalRasha Amy +dmg modifiers.
Another things to consider is the +3%fire dmg from TalRasha 2 pieces set. Its a free +9k dps from Firebats at 300k unbuffed dps.
Two piece Tal's isn't worth it. We need 4 piece zunis so that leaves the onlyother piece to use with the amulet, the belt which sucks compared to a Witching hour.
The bonuses of a 1 hand + mojo are potentially a lot more life (I have 200 vit from weapon and off hand), + bonus to skills if you want to run other skills as well.
The big advantage of Skorn is the high LS which makes damage reflect mobs a breeze.
I feel like squeezing in as much attack speed as possible
being near the break down of mana needs
when u choose a skorn i think u can afford getting more attack speed on gear
and with skorn u think that the 4 zuni piece is mandatory? bcs its a dps loss from mempo+tal chest
i have to test further myself
you can use ring+boots+helm+mojo and still rock 2piece talrasha from chest and neck
Thats true, hadn't thought about that. Although that limits your mojo choices (and forces a 1 hand weapon), plus you lose the huge bump in max mana from zuni helm. Not sure the 3% is worth it.
I used to have the 4 piece bonus with the mojo ofc. Like that u free one of two slots, the helm or the chest can be replaced by mempo or talrasha - both dps upgrades.
With skorn im pretty sure ill be able to use both a mempo and tal chest for extra dps and just 2 piece zuni. I will test this soon.
Ill be streaming tonight and trying with you guys all possible scenarios. I even got a Zuni mojo and Visage of Giyua helm with firebats plus a SOJ with firebats.
Also, just wanna say I get the stream up to get a group of people really interested in testing this out and see how all combinations work before they go out and buy gear. Not doing this for donations, or attention or whatever. I make my own money, don't need yours. So if u wanna have a conversation on this build and see what works and what doesn't, come by. You can Add me if you want also DrKran#1511.
Streaming all day. Come by and chat. I will be helping anybody that needs some help with gear/set or any questions on dif variations of the firebat build.
So, after enough testing I let my old equip go. It consisted on mempo+talrasha chest and only 2 pieces zuni. It was vry confortable mana wise since i was using a skorn+spiritual attunement. The nice extra attack speed was putting me at 305k dps.
The problem I encountered was the necessity of using Spiritual attunment as passive. This way i couldnt get either Spirit vessel or Grave injustice, way more appealing passives.
So im back to 4 pieces zuni, talrasha chest and a spear. Down to 282k dps tho, but happier overall

Any more ideas?

As you can see in this video, I'm running MP10 efficiently and looks like it's the 5.5% ls who's saving me everytime.
