Akarats Chamapion - fire starter

[Rguy]

Akarats Chamapion - fire starter reads:
Dealing damage now burns enemies with the power of Akarat, for 460% weapon damage as Fire over 3 seconds.

The thing is - the skills is probably bugged and causes EVERY attack to STACK the damage instead of reapplying it so if you use consecrate shattered ground for example every tick of it will stack over and over on it.

Might or might not be a bug : this is the way Magic Missile - Conflagrate works for the wizard, and it's clearly intended to work that way in their case.

Magic missile explicitly says it stacks , fire starter does not. Magic missile does 55% damage for itself alone. Firestart does 460% in addition to every one of your attacks .
Magic missile conflagrate is considered OP ( with mirror ball ) and used by fire wizards - clearly you can see why this is extremely OP.

You guys aren't very smart, are you.

Working as intended and not OP, even with permanent Akarats Champion ...

this works as intended, its the new HIT build for crusader after 2.0.5. Blizzard added this rune to replace the old 2.0.4 hit build since the old one has completely gone.

Seriously guys? did you even try it? Please do the following:

go to T3 boss like ghom/azmodan solo ( you can even remove your follower for this test )

stand on the boss pop akarat champion then use consecrate do not attack him at all just stand and watch how much damage you do, I got 15m ticks on him with my gear (800k sheet dps, 60% fire, no elite )

2nd test I did :
Azmodan T3 - used akarat (fire starter ) + Low of valor ( critical ) fallen sword ( superheated ) + consecrate ( shattered ground ) on him then went afk and watched him die without me attacking him at all.

IMO this will get nerfed.

lol this guy. T3 azmodan for testing.. With a Pet WD I could just summon all my pets, go into the boss room and not press anything else and azmodan would die in less than 5 seconds.
Firestarter is working as intended and its not even that strong compared to what other classes can do.

what i can say is go try T6 Rift, then you will know why it should stack that much.
