was common to see 14k crits with unstable wall and lightning maelstrom staff when taking down mobs. now it's more like 10k or if buffs are crazy on me 13k.

✭✭✭✭✭couple things with this that might be affecting that:- maelstrom destro is bugged and doesnt apply its bonus from back bar
- wall of elements dmg per tick was nerfed a bit (the explosion dmg was buffed for unstable wall though by a pretty hefty amount)

MudcrabAttack✭✭✭✭✭Yeah I figured this would kill off the fun more than anything, there are so many single target parses out there but AOE is pretty much in the dumpster. I feel it most on wardenEdited by MudcrabAttack on 23 August 2022 20:003 -

"Unstable Wall (morph): Decreased the damage of this morph's explosion by approximately 33%."
And this exactly what I'm seeing in game. My tooltip with a lightning staff (unbuffed) dropped from around 7k to just over 4k.
AoE skills are doing almost no damage this patch. The strongest form of non-ultimate AoE attack right now is the lightning staff heavy attack. Maybe the dual wielding spin2win skill is still doing decent damage.Edited by K9002 on 23 August 2022 20:183 -

✭✭They actually buffed blazing spear aoe for templar. It deals more damage as a spammable attack now than jabs!

thats what i get for reading and working lol (and when there is such a huge amount of changes)
i swore it said "increased" lol
i wonder if the maelstrom destro will boost the explosion dmg, and if the burst dmg from the explosion can make up for the extra dmg ticks, i do like how it still catches you in case of early recastplays PC/NA

✭✭✭✭✭All my characters are very AoE intensive. For at least one of them, literally, the only single target attack they have is their lightning staff light attack. AoE for me is 'play how I want'. Not sure I appreciate that my hard-earned 25k dps vs an actual big boss has been nerfed by roughly 30%. I thought I was reasonably close to the floor - now I am closer. There is plenty of content that was beyond my reach - now there is more of it. Not pleased at all with U35.PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo8 -

one of the most efficient aoes right now is actually the lightning staff heavy attack, using a heavy attack buildplays PC/NA
