I switched from Furnace to Sun Keeper(1)Category: WizardSeptember-12-2014 12:17 PM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I was using this furnace: http://s27.postimg.org/grn4ixmjn/Furnace.jpg

When this sunkeeper dropped (pic after I used a Ramalamadingdong): http://s29.postimg.org/r97nxzxif/image.jpg

It's a mediocre furnace vs. a very good sunkeeper. I went against my every instinct and made the switch. I spent a ton of gold and gems to re-roll my other stuff, since I was then able to switch around more items.

In the end, I think it was definitely worth it. My damage remained pretty much the same, but my mobility (from 1.2 APS) and toughness went up by a lot.

I do realise that in a perfect scenario, The Furnace is better. But with the items I have, SK is the winner.

So here's my advice: if you have a nice SK, try it out. It may be better than expected.

Heavily investing in a new set up is like a mini game all on its own, but can be a lot of fun. I'm glad to hear your swap was successful, and hopefully it inspires someone to make a positive change they've been debating.

That is a very nice Sun Keeper by the way, and it even has a nice secondary to lightly assist with applying your Bane of the Trapped debuff. Congrats!
