Im sorry for my bad english hoping u can forgive me
So i started testing builds and as u can read in the headline im not sure if this spell is useful for PvE. Before i start explaining my reasons i want to tell u that i just tested using the dummie at gipat arena. My stats were 11k Vigor and 82 Proficieny
So lets start with combat mode:
I alrdy found out that Rank 2 is best to go. U have 9 sec. which is enough to cast 3 Astral shots (max stacks reached) and 3 Acid shots (so we have a duration of ca 10 sec.)
Rank 3 is just not worth because the max of 3 Astral shots is alrdy reached and for just extending the acid dot the dmg increased would be to low.
In the test my dmg got increased by 400k (in comparison to 3 normal Astral and 3 Acid shots) so with a 2 min cooldown its just 3k more dps. Thats pretty low...Anyway with 1 min cd trough rubies it would be still just ca 6k dps increase.
So if u mention that u need 130 energy from seal or waiting for cannonade or using some energy-reg-thingl AND that u need 9 secs free to move the dps probably will be much lower.
Im interested in ur opinion/test about the combat mode in PvE and what u would choose instead (hoping sb will answer
)
