Legendary Black Satin Waist has only +1 quality spell focus mastery, and not +2 as you wrote: that's why I don't use flamecleansed set, because you need quality +2 from bracers artifact.

also you are missing quality spell power items and insightfull impulse spell power.

Lately, I have been wondering about a build that runs in Water ele for high reaper questing and focuses on DCs and heals with the option to switch to fire for extra dps say on boss fights, raids, or when soloing. My thought is as follows:

2p Winter Set: Wintercourt (profane SFM), Deepsnow Boots (iCon, qCon)
Flamecleansed Fury Set: Blessed Vestments, Hallowed Castigators, and Hallowed Trail (Note this set gives heal amp and fortification for defense and unless things have changed the artifact positive and fire spell power and crit chance stack with universal from Autumn Set making this a unique stacking bonus)
2p Autumn: Bottled rainstorm Trinket, Gloryborne gloves (sacred DC)
Helm: Achemical Crown with iWis 6
Goggles: Attunement's Gaze SFM/ Can be switched with LGS fire crit goggles for boss if don't need SFM for FI color spray
Belt: Black Satin Waist: +2 qSFM, spell pen, +3 qWis
Ring1: Clouded Dreams
Ring2: Black Pearl: 14 Wis Minor Artifact from Saltmarsh with Cold spell power and crit chance
Main: Fusible Combustible Scepter (DC filigrees)
Off-Hand: Alchemical large shield with Impulse, crit, and alch Wis +2

For DPS can swap helm and necklace for Epic elder's set (iWis 5 augment on elder's cap if losing crown), off-hand ash procced on body of sun, LGS fire crit goggles, and even main sentient swap for extra dps filigrees.

Biggest fears with this idea is losing some DCs when swapping to dps set and then having enemies save for half-damage, thereby negating the purpose of a dps swap. Similarly afraid that losing mantle of the icy soul would result in dps loss from enemies saving. Would prob run this as shifter with FI 24, SH 41, and Shifter 11 for as much Wis/DC as possible. Benefits are better heals with extra artifact bonuses to positive and fire since can run in summer. Also has fire, cold, impulse, radiance/alignment, and positive spell power and crit with some lightning from bottled rainstorm, covering heals, fire, cold/force, and word of balance.

This build also needs sheltering and main Con augment, plus litany, iSpell points, defense, festive, topaz of greater spell focus etc.

Has anyone ever tried fire? I've played cold druid before and liked it a lot, but that was before the nerf to Reflection of Wave and FI existed. If this seems feasible it would be my main character.
