Has anyone tried this out yet? An Electrocute/forked lightning Firebirds build? You could wear Chest/Shoulders/Gloves/Pants/Boots for the 6-piece with a RoRG and then slot Mykens and Camari to take advantage of the Forked Lightning element change. Maybe slap down a hydra and some Gale Force and go to town? Or a black hole and put on some strong arm bracers for the damage boost. I bet the DoT would stack pretty quickly with all the electrocute jumps.
Or am I completely wrong on this? Thoughts? Tests?
That would be meat to try! Would need some sort of cc so maybe a build that uses forked lightning, meteor, bubble for stun, armor depending on gear, sparkflint or magic wep, then mirror image. Or sparkflint and magic weap ignite. Passives are blur, audacity, conflag, and whatever last one. Depending on your gear switch out mirror images for mammoth with serpent. I would use cinder coat chest instead of camari for more meteor spam. I don't know just some thoughts! Twister or meteor can be interchangeable also
Doesnt work out that well, i've tried it. You'll apply the dot to a lot of targets but with Firebirds you want to hit with hard hitting attacks quickly so you get to the max dot of 3000% weapon damage/ second. Electrocute is such a low damage spell, it takes too long to reach that.

Tried it on PTR and the biggest problem of the Forked Lightning + Myken's + Camaral + FB6 is single-target DPS. Sure, trash melts, but killing a rift guardian with this setup is a pain in the ass. Regular MM + Mirrorball builds are much stronger and don't rely on any rare drops like Camaral.
No. I'm not a big fan of having separate spells for trash and for big guys in the same build. AT is perfectly capable of dealing with both, so if you pick it, Electrocute is a waste of a spell slot, IMO.
I've tried a bunch of firebird setups and the highest dps setup I've found is Woh EB+ Torrent - flame ward. Difficult to survive though on rifts above 32 or so with this an EB set up.
So how about a chain lightning + EB Tals/Blackthornes/Aughilds set-up. Use flash for burst damage, chain lightning pls paralysis for trash mobs and CC, then the tals bonus for the DPS boost. Spark flint, FN Bone Chill and BH event horizon? How does that build sound?

Tried Flash, It works pretty nice. The problem is Firebird's pigeon holes all builds into fire. It's just too strong, you cant compete with it.
