If you were looking for a fun and unique way to play, mission accomplished. And that's a valid and worthy goal. If it was fastest paragon leveling for WD for high budget, probably not so much.
+ Fire damage could've been accomplished more broadly for all skills with higher INT, crit, +crit damage. For the high budget you spent, you could very likely have gotten >45% crit and >400% crit damage -- which would net an effective bonus to fire (and all other damage output for that matter) far greater than what you achieved.
That said, if you're having fun with it, all good -- you're definitely somewhat snookered into a specific build with that gear so I hope you are
Thanks for the video Immortalspawn. I've been curious about firestacking for a while - Nice to see it in action.
Emberos, thanks for bringing a rational voice to the conversation. I'm not sure when threads here on the WD forums started to get so hostile, but take that shit to the official forums if you want to debate where people got their gear or how bad their build is.
Quote from the video: "By no means is this the best WD build out there, but it's definitely a fun twist utilizing some new legendaries"
This is how you used to gear in Diablo 2. It took some thought and planning, and I generally like it more than just looking for Crit / All resist on every piece of gear. It may not be optimal yet, but it's fun watching people try. Hopefully itemization continues toward creativity and finds a way out of the crit hole we're in.

Thanks for reiterating that for me, Kinch. I was indeed excited about the abilities on new items and just went with it. It's not important how I got the gear, but I am an active seller on both RM and G houses.
Hopefully I can grab some Zuni pieces to replace the Cain's set when the gear become more affordable.

If you go for fire skills as a WD nothing beats 1H axe (burning axe of smth) with socket and +25% dmg to fire skills. 25% dmg modifier is just too strong when it affects all your dmg and it scales with every piece of gear you have.

My poor WD.
