OP says to use Increased Burning Damage on 6L.

I'm almost positive that Fire Penetration would be better.

-The -% Fire would be a multiplier...and Inc Burn would just be more additive increased.

First, fire pen affected only hit damage. It means burning damage was increased from the more hit damage, but the resistance of the monsters was not changed at burning stage.

Using fire pen

1.More total damage

According to 7.A, we could analyse them quickly. Assumed fire resistance(R) is 0.

With Lv20Q20 fire pen (hit damage = D x 1.85 ): total damage is D x 5.6906.

with Lv20 increased burning damage (B = 4.05): total damage is D x 5.145.

2.More mana cost

Mana cost multiplier: fire pen = 140% / increased burning damage = 120%
According to my char, mana cost is 34 per stage with fire pen / 29 with inc burning damage.
If cast speed is 113%, it means time per sec is 7.1 times.

Mana cost per sec with fire pen = 34 x 7.1 = 241.4

Mana cost per sec with increased burning damage = 29 x 7.1 = 205.9

3.More dangerous at reflect

Fire pen raised the hit damage, so it's the more dangerous at elemental reflect. Burning damage wasn't reflected.

Conclusion

If you want the more damage, choose fire pen. If you want the safer at reflect or less mana cost, choose increased burning damage.

Happy New Year! \0.0/

Would you consider this build doable with HP/Armour, instead of ES and CI?

I'm kinda stuck with this build atm at lvl 68..

I switched from ST (4L) to sceptre and rathpith together with a mantle (4L) which i dropped..
And i am depressed..

Now the only thing bothering me is the fcking slow cast speed i have atm.. it's at 0.2 for flameblast.. maybe it's just me and that is fast already, or i just lack a 5L mantle?

Also having troubles with the tankiness of ES.. Not being able to use life potions is bothering me much (3.6k ES w/o discipline)

I guess i'll have to put more time into this char, or i should just move on with my RF marauder main..

EDIT:

I bought a 5L mantle and a new wand and i'm atm at 0.16 secs :)
Going much better now $$
