I agree it's a great alternative if you want the extra damage and don't care about the interrupt. Honestly this isn't about which one is better, it's about which one is better for you. They are both great for different reasons.Joy_Division wrote: »I find it curious how so many people prefer force pulse simply because it does "10% more damage". Even if this is true (and the OP showed us it is quite a bit less dps loss if you use Crushing Shock) the impact on overall damage of force pulse instead of crushing shock is quite minimal. Crushing Shock on my Sorc deals about 20-30% of all damage done, meaning the overall increase I would see if I used Force Pulse would be about 3%. I'm not willing to give up the interrupt (which is especially useful in Vet-Arena) for such a small overall damage increase.
Force Pulse has an AOE component that is rather easy to proc.
Agreed, it comes down to preference and style of gameplay.
Force pulse = better dps
Crushing shock = interrupt
Lol we could've just saved our time and read the tool tips.
Well I think the point was to know how much dps you gain with the 'better dps' morph to judge if its worth sacrificing the ranged interrupt.
I think the answer is "enough" that it is one of ESO's few legitimately compelling morph choices.
