So alot of people are saying furnace works great with fire damage, or its just a crap item. However its one of the best item to farm t6 in parties. If one of team member has Furnace, every time he does damage (regardless of element or skills) it will do A DAMAGE 6~8% of their current health.
Funny thing is this 6~8% damage does not work with any elemental modifiers and its just a flat damage of monster's current health.
I personally use it on my witch doctor as this weapon will also proc on DoT skills such as haunt and locusts with creeping death (don't need jade harvester). The build is to build highest toughness as possible, and doesn't even matter if u have 100k damage to farm t6.
The reason its so good is that if you are farming T6 ubers with 4 party members, monster will have enormous health. and 8% of their health is like 1.5 to 2 billion. The highest number i ever saw was 1.9 billion and once it proc 3 times in a row on uber diablo, making him 100% to 75% in less than 5 seconds.
The only drawback of this weapon would be that you do no damage when uber/elite monster gets below 40~50% hp and its completely useless on trash mobs.
Having 1 party member with Furnace to do percentage damage on ubers when they are on high hp and other 3 party members to clear them at low hp is prob the easiest way to farm ubers currently.
My guessing would be that this item will be mandatory in high Greater rifts as all mobs get more and more hp as greater rift level goes up. 1 party member with furnace can soft em up alll nicely.
FURNACE = OP in T6 PARTY.
Furnace solo is noooot good idea at all.
Edit: DPS or flat damage on furnace does not matter. only thing that matters is to get that 8% current health damage.
