Molten Fury vs Phoenix Blaster
The verdict
With crit factored in, Phoenix Blaster puts out 133.7 DPS against 87.9 for Molten Fury — about 52% more damage per second. Base hits are Molten Fury 31 vs Phoenix Blaster 30, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Phoenix Blaster swings faster at a 14-tick use time versus 22, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.
Both are Ranged weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
