I just realised that Fevered Incantation, the BIS legendary for Fire Mage, is actualy not limited to the fire spec contrary to what the game state. This leg gives you a 3% increased critic damage stackable 5x times for each CONSECUTIVE critic you make.
Actualy this buff can trigger in the 3 mage specs.
Considering frost have guaranted critics after a brain freeze procs (if you have the 33% critic chance treshold), do you think it could be a good leg for the frost spec ?
yeah, but it guarantees a constant uptime of increased crit damage as opposed to maybe having increased crit damage
slick ice and glacial fragments say hi… anyway its like choosing the shiniest turd out of a pile of turds, because thats what the fire legendary options are currently - either by being completely undertuned or just flat out boring because they contribute nothing to the gameplay
Searing touch refers only to scorch if i’m not mistaken. Not increased crit damage of all spells. It is still though one of the most powerfull abilities imo because at execute phase your rotation basically becomes scorch X 2 —> Pyroblast and all that while running
You do understand that Searing touch talent + Fevered incarnation leggo is as broken as hell right?
did you not understand what i said? because fire has guaranteed crits under 35%, fire also has near permanent uptime on stacks of fevered incantation. fevered incantation gives you increased crit damage
here is an example of fevered incantation uptime changing clearly after boss drops below 35%, directly as a result of having searing touch: https://i.imgur.com/ZlQJrxf.png
so? bloodmallet sims rank both slick ice and glacial fragments as much bigger dps increases than fevered incantation for fire, and not by a small margin either. from a numbers standpoint slick ice is ~40% better for ST and glacial fragments is ~150% better for cleave/aoe
Kinda ye, but every pyro you chuck during a normal rotation has 2 stacks anyway. Fireball and scorch do very little dmg. It’s the increase of pyros during execute that does more dmg.
Fevered incantation has a higher dps% increase for fire than slick ice does for frost, at least on the sims. Wasn’t thinking about aoe, but ye, glacial is miles ahead of anything fire has.
I dream of a sunking, pyroclasm, crit build. Was really hoping sunking was gonna be bis leggo.
