What Xevy said, it's multiplies x% onto what the skill already does, not adding an additional 15% onto it.So one of you math dudes help me out here. I got a chest piece that has +15% to Haunt damage. Now Haunt already does 4000% weapon damage, over 12 seconds. So to me, 15% seems like junk. Maybe just a mind trick... 4000 vs 15.
But maybe it's 15% more of the 4000%? Not 4015%? I think this is where you dudes talk about multiplicative versus additive.
I mean, 15% to Firebomb damage sounds sweet. It's base is 155% so another 15% seems like a big deal. Not so much when the base you are starting from is 4000%.

T IV seems to be my peak efficiency for rifts. Shit dies pretty much in a 3 cluster leap unless I'm really unlucky. T V is a big step up, I can clear it but it's far from efficient. None of this matters since really you don't get shit for doing it but more XP, the loot difference is minimal.

Okay, I'm sick of trying to figure out why I'm not doing as much damage as I think I should be. Help a brother out.Xeronumous - Community - Diablo III
I've been trying to stick with the MM/Conflag build for killing everything and using Blackhole/Meteor Storm for elite packs. What am I doing wrong? I know my helm is bad (been trying for an Andy but no luck yet) and that my neck isn't fantastic. Also, my wand is for a different build, but I haven't dropped anything that has more DPS/INT with a socket yet. No Devastator plans or Burning Axe either, so I don't know what I should be looking for besides those two.

Your amulet sucks, any amulet without crit dmg is gonna suck since it's the slot with the most crit damage other than weapon socket. Try to get one with crit dmg instead of attackspeed, and probably crit instead of vit too.
You use Unwavering Will, are you actually facetanking stuff? If you are, drop Conflag, get Audacity, 15%damage is more than 6%crit. If you're not facetanking, drop Unwavering Will, get Glass Canon.
Other than that seems alright to me, but you do have a lot of tanking stuff, which suggests you're doing fairly high torment. Your problem is most likely you're doing higher than you can handle. You'd probably better off dropping Blur for Glass Canon, dropping one or two torment, replacing Deflection with the damage magic weapon and just fucking everything up before they even hit you.

Audacity and Glass Cannon. Make Magic Weapon > Force Weapon. Black Hole > Spealsteal. More crit damage. I'm guessing this is for T1-2?
I prefer Explosive Blast > Chain Reaction to meteor. Walk up to a pack, trigger Chain Reaction, pop Black Hole to suck them all up and pound them with a couple of volleys of MM as you blow up. I also like to have Frost Nova/Cold Snap to hold stuff in clumps if they're tougher than trash, for that you'd need to give up Energy Armor or Sparkflint though.

I made a mix of IK 3 piece and Earth set 3 piece. Way more fun than flat our earth set+ full fire gear. Something about having my brobarians stick around and fuck shit up. Easily cleared T V with it, hopefully I can get my hands on a sunkeeper soon to speed up elite clears, but even then it's not that slow. Tried to go back to the WD and Wiz but couldn't, once you start stomping mother fuckers with earthquakes you can't go back.

Pretty much liquiddeath just needs to get a new amulet, missing ~8 crit and ~80 crit damage is where he is losing a lot of his damage. So yeah, even though they are expensive roll amulets from kadala until you can get elemental, int, crit, cd. Switching to force weapon is great if you have no problems surviving, swapping to blackhole from blazar to spellsteal I don't think is a good idea with his 70% fire damage, it would almost be cut in half.
And yeah, replace that helmet and weapon liquid, sounds like you know your problem, you just need to get the loot.

Thanks for everyone's input so far.
As far as weapons go, aside from the obvious fire damage weapons what should I look for? Just highest DPS/INT with a socket?

And EVERYONE uses/wants cache legendaries, if at least the ring of grandeur. Some of the others can be nice like Pride's Fall, Illusory Boots, Hell Trapper, Coven's Criterion, Mad Monarch Scepter etc.
