Problems with single target dps as fire wizard (d3) - Soldier Holding Rifle

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#aPNOSj!YiSe!cYYcZa

That's my build, and I completely decimate rifts on t5 until I come up to a yellow elite or rift boss. My damage is seriously lacking against single targets, what skill should I change to fix that?

Also, I don't have a mirrorball. If I do get one, will it help a lot against single targets? I heard mirrorball magic missile(fire) destroys single targets but not too sure how true that is.

Note: I have about 120% damage to fire, so I'm not sure that a non-fire skill is worth using.



Best Answer

You have one quick option: change meteor rune from shower to molten impact. It does effectively much more damage while still maintaining solid AoE.

Since you have a black hole, there should not be a problem with your smaller AoE of meteor, you will pull mobs into one place where meteor will strike.

Your passive audacity just makes the molten impact more reasonable choice: you launch 2 meteors close to your character (remember, 15 yards is small, you can visualise by comparing Andariel's Visage poison dmg on hit which has ~15 yards AoE), while they fall you activate black hole, then spawn two more meteors. Recharge arcane, rinse and repeat.

Mirroball is ok, but I wouldn't bother obtaining it, it is much easier to stack lightning damage and go with electrocute forked lightning then.
