For farming I like Shock Nova and Arc and am currently using Flame Surge as third spell for more single target damage (proccing burn with a +fire dmg amulet and always crit with weapon) plus Controlled Destruction as support gem. What I especially want to know is which setup would maximize single target damage (for when I finally am able to challenge Izaro on Merciless). I only want elemental spells because I also use Elemental Overload which is a huge buff to elemental damage. I'm thinking Freezing Pulse + Flame Surge + maybe Magma Orb? Proccing Shock would be nice but I don't think Izaro can be shocked with non crit Shock Nova or Arc. (I looked at the avg dmg of the spells here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E5cYJD3LWtJThcHi0xELk87apLf295i78yNLnaxsQgM/edit#gid=0) edit: Or maybe Conc Effect with Firestorm + Flame Surge + Magma Orb? | ||

conc surge storm sounds pretty good though. At some point pen seems better than another spell if you are all fire dmg. Especially vs bosses who are always resistant right. | ||

I'm using Elemental Weakness and Warlord's Mark with Blasphemy. But I doubt Elemental Weakness will remove most of Izaro's resistances considering curses have lowered efficiency against bosses. Still, how much does he have? 30%? 50%? If it's 50% or more I think fire penetration and the pure fire setup would easily be better. | ||

Will need to check, my first search didn't help me will do again. Yeah true about the mana costs, but I think it would still be OK. Controlled Destruction doesn't change mana costs of Cyclone at all though. I think one support with >40% more dmg or ele pen is a must for sure instead of using 4 spells. Two supports or more on the other hand does not sound like a good idea. edit: Found this. Could be accurate and would mean Izaro has 45 resistances at merciless without any buffs. So Fire Pen is probably better than Conc Effect. | ||

WTB Cats on Critical Strike gem PS quick math indicates izaro still takes more dmg via conc effect than fire pen even if he qualifies as a "map/act boss". Conc effect does have utility issues with cyclone though. | ||

Conc effect does have utility issues with cyclone though. Did some math too and with my Elemental Weakness that indeed seems to be true, though not by a lot. Even more so considering Firestorm will do more single dps with Conc Effect. But idk, like you said decreased AoE on Cyclone might mean lots of less hits so I don't think it'll be better in practice. | ||

That's wrong. Last year was Cats on damage taken, Cats on crit, Cats on melee kill as well as Cats on Death. Ghudda is trolling (April 1st duh). | ||
