Can't say I know much about DH these days other than the fact almost all play a fire build based on Loaded for Bear. But it is difficult for me to imagine playing this class w/o the use of a generator, since hatred is a fairly slowly regenerating source. I guess with enough resource cost reduction it becomes possible?
I know on Wiz playing w/o a primary spell is pretty difficult, especially with the sharp nerf to APoC.
Ofc if you get a Mirror Ball with +2 magic missile bonus and you have some decent +fire dmg gear, Magic Missile actually becomes your main damage dealer. Fire builds seem to be the fashion right now (especially on Wiz and DH), though I'm sticking with Arcane on my Wiz. While fire builds are probably tops in terms of dmg output, Arcane has the advantage of crowd control with the Temp Flux passive and the skills are easier to build around imo. Fire builds like chainapocalypse build is very effective but requires a WoH to make it work, and meteor builds require lots of resource cost reduction that takes up precious stats on gear slots. With Arcane builds there is much more room for gear enchanting, not to mention you can choose between both a traditional skill or a channeling build. Furthermore, fire builds are predominantly fire ONLY because you need all fire skills on the bar to fully maximize the Conflagration passive. With Arcane though, you can incorporate other elements into the build to utilize Elemental Exposure passive that gives you and your party a nice dmg boost, all the while having your primary damage dealer be an Arcane skill. I do want to try out a fire build on my other wiz one day but I am still quite certain that Arcane wiz is still the best overall, at least a higher torment levels, despite the enormous popularity of fire builds right now
