So, I am curious, is it better to just have a Savage Fire Wand with CC+4 and a good ma/cast speed reforge, or to get a good cast speed / ma phoenix fire wand and EGO it? I have heard from a few mage friends that EGO Fire wands are alot better than Savage fire wand nowadays, but I don't know enough to make a decision.
somebody helppp :p

IMO, ego is better because the repair rate is 100%.
Besides, wand repairs are easy.

Yeah, I was looking more in terms of damage and cost / efficiency ratio (the amount of gold it will take to 50/50 my EGO and whether or not i'd be better off with the Savage)

If you took advantage of that fishing event and it's gems galore, then ego would be easy to get pretty nicely up. Otherwise have fun :P

Ego firewands are most definitely the way to go. At STR level 25 they outdo endgame savage fire wands as far as I know. Personally thats were I noticed the difference, others say around 27-28. But it's well noted that ego fire wands are one of the only egos that actually have quite a significant difference over special upped savage fire wand. Better to say... THE only ego that has a significant difference over special upgraded savage fires.
As far as the calculations go I believe Kaeporo might have some insight on that. I haven't seen any direct explanation as to why ego fires are better, but it's been proven time and time again so that's what the community seems to agree upon.

DO NOT Ego the Phoenix Fire Wand. It's shit and doesn't have CC properties.

If you do decide to ego a wand make sure it's a regular Fire Wand and not a Phoenix Fire Wand.
