Searing Glow Druid
Guys, any tips on Searing glow druid build? I know the key is to have all gear successfully corrupted. I currently have zaka set, 2 ras algethi rings, tesseract, eternal vigil, celestial barrier and hellfire plate. Great for farming labs ( t8-t9 go swimmingly) but single target damage could be better. Any tips suggestions?

unless you have Super beast relic for Druid I think it is not worth going down to 7 frames max cast rate with 10 gear slots compared to 6 frames with 9 gear slots. (Given all stats are the same dps with 9 slot 6 frame setup will be higher)
Zaka Set is nice for overall fire builds but you loose out on so much damage when not using a crafted Druid Helm with Searing glow oskill (up to 21 on there).
for Single Target you can either use druids own skill Rain of FIre or Funeral Pyre from Dark Disciple. Both skills should work fine.
As Weapons there are several options.
depending on what you still lack you can use.
- Crafted Gothic Stave (look for all skills and high fsd roll and maybe Laek or regen, you get 30 pierce for free)

pick up other gear slots as you need but def gear out of zaka.
