There's at least one new amulet (I believe there's a few) that can roll 5 primaries. Depending on class, an extra amulet primary will likely beat a passive for many builds (keep in mind a socket is now going to be must-have on amulets...so this is like 10% CC / 100% CHD / 20% Ele vs a passive). Also, I'd take the fire immune amulet over it almost no matter what. Granted, that's the rarest amulet in the game, but still superior for almost every class / build in my opinion. The hellfire amulet is going to make an excellent stepping stone though for new seasonal characters and probably be BiS for some classes with a well-rolled one.
Slightly outdated since it is for 2.05, but still gives a great idea.
The Furnace and Rimeheart are two of the rarest items in the game with 1/10th the drop rate of most other 2H'ers and 1H'ers. Rimeheart has half the drop rate of a Shard of Hate and 1/5th the rate of Thunderfury.
Or they could (like the people topping the leaderboards already have been doing) simply abuse Rimeheart for the rift, TP to town at the RG and swap to The Furnace. Obviously, this mechanic and both these items will not make it to live unchanged. Having the entire GR leaderboard balanced around finding one insanely rare item and one very rare item is utterly asinine.
