Yes sustained. And i177.

You give me hope :) I bet that Hive weapon adds a nice chunk of dps. Did you use food in those numbers?

I have a question. I'm finding this incredibly odd.

Before patch, at lvl 54, my Wildfire on my opener was hitting 2.4k. And now, it's hitting 1.4k on the opener.

EDIT: Ignore this. Had glamour on, I'm a fucking idiot.

LOL. Glad you found the reason. Also, look forward to that wildfire hitting at 5100+ at 60 ilvl 170+. I've seen it hit for 5500 before.. its pretty sick.

If you answered this already, sorry but are you weaving GB on/off or keeping it on mostly?

This is what I came up with. Compared to my previous test, I did get a few more crits. Other than that, it's a straight dps buff to full time GB.

I'd also wager that toggling GB is a dps loss due to ricochet's nerf.

Might be a silly question, but can wildfire crit?

I've been getting 5.5k's at like i16x, so it can get preeetty high if you do it right.

I don't believe so. It's all based in the damage dealt in the last 15 seconds, crits included, so if it could crit, it would be overkill. It just needs to not be defended against twice.

Well its a pretty rare occasion when mine hit that hard. Hover between 5100-5200 most of the time at 172. You must get some nice crit hits during your rotation. Not sure what else I can do to maximize that damage. All buffs and dots are up before I even pitch wildfire out there.
