try those build on p8
Yeah if its strictly PvM, then you get to just declare some stuff is impractical like all fire skills due to fire immunities in all relevant areas. If you want to only farm P8P1 icy cellar or whatever, then fire druids actually a great build. Rift assassins are a meme build that don't scale past P1 in any area. Just look at the relative damage outputs. A fire druid can have 6800 damage fissure with -75% resist items / -85% conviction, which shotguns on mobs to hit every monsters in an aoe 5 times per second, and shotguns single targets with firestorm. Absolutely massive damage. Absolutely useless in chaos/baal against unbreakable fire immunes. Meanwhile what does a rift assassin do? 16% chance to cast 200 damage tornados, 20% chance to cast ~380 damage orbs. Whoopdeedoo. Still a lot of cold immunes, all unbreakable, and low damage kicks.
If you're going to evaluate PvM builds by looking at how they do with undergeared / self-found builds, then it changes the calculation once again. You won't have enigma and -25 ravenlore and 11 facets on a druid, you won't have infinity and enigma on a javazon. And in fact, javazons without infinity are actually pretty mediocre, so they go from SSS tier to middlin while blizz sorcs and hammerdins reign #1
