This is for my rifle Fire Strike build.
Current item: Brimstone Repeater
It has +37% atk spd and 34% phys->fire.
I have a “Searing Fleshwarped Conflagrator of Flame” in my stash:
74-155 phy dmg
28% armor piercing
62 Fire damage
28-39 Fire damage
20% chance of +490% Fire damage
+144% Burn damage
29% phys dmg-> fire
+2 Flame Touched
The Conflagrator is showing +366 dps (w/o augment comparison).
My question: Is the magical rifle better than the repeater? The +37% atk spd on it seems hard to pass up.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
i think the go-to item is the MI as it has flat fire damage and huge + %fire damage, approximately 100%, also burn dmg, which benefits certain ability, also it’s obvious that the dps is higher, and there’s a stronger version of that MI too, the Fleshwarped Incinerator, which gives 4 to Flame Touched and huge bonus to HP, try to get that, preferably from the fleshwarped sniper from The Conflagration and the area around that.
Yeah, these new fire rifles are crazy. Had one with alacrity, but character wearing it had died 
Imo you can trust the sheet DPS if you don’t have many WPS procs or your OA doesn’t change much.
I use Demon’s Breath granted by Devil Touched Ammo…so much burnination!
Attack speed is paramount for a rifle build, so Repeater.
I’ve had 3 Repeaters drop. Dying for the Empowered version.
There are much better rifles out there, have patience until legendaries start dropping.
