But your assumption of Gale Force being irreliable just ignores the rough numbers I just posted. Having a single twister pass by your targets just for a second is enough to deal 200%ish weapon damageand apply the 4 seconds lasting 15% damage debuff.This near worst case scenario is enough to out damage Blizzard and unless you're casting your twisters in a random direction also Meteor shower. Gale force also comes with the added benefit that your DPS doesn't plummet when you run out of AP (since the debuff lasts 4 seconds).

If apocalypse actually bugs out on Firebird it is obviously better but while molten meteor might help in stacking the dot it will result in a significantly lower damage output when stacked up (especially

My point of view is ofcourse a bit different since I'm just playing a hydra build but I don't understand why meteor shower is considered guaranteed damage.while twister is not.

Also, I normally don't run Apocalypse. I use Meteor Shower. However, Apocalypse works better here for sustained damage because I have <50% CDR and cannot maintain perma-EB. Meteor wouldn't work as well here because it's not spammable without Cindercoat.

Wouldn't Energy Twister be more effective than either apocalpyse or meteor shower? Even when not spamming it it shouldn't be that hard to outdps that 1000% over 6 seconds. Especially with the 15% increase:

Maxed FB dot = 3000% per second ---> 15% increase = 450% per second --> 2 ticks and you're nearly breaking even. Not even counting the damage the twister itself deals nor the fact that FB is going to tick more than twice.

Since level 35+ Grifts are mostly about not getting one-shot, isn't it time to revert back to Force Armor rather than Pristmatic?

Secondly, why is everyone so eager to use Blizzard - Apocalypse? The damage is terrible.

PS: Loved the start of the video.
