Force Pulse

So I just changed a few morphs and decided to try out Force Pulse...sweet mother alive! Crushing Shock who!?

This is the synergy that puts destro staff over the top! Pop wall of elements or impulse then tap Force Pulse, everyone who is burning, concussed, or chill gets hit too, turning Force Pulse into a multi-hit abilty that deals about 80% of the damage to nearby unfriendlys.

In pvp if its reflected it doesn't stun you forcing you to waste precious stamina on break free, pop wall of elements at the breech and tap force pulse for cheap multi target blast that if the primary target dont dodge, the others it targets can't dodge the collateral damage.

Force Pulse synergizes much better with destro staff then crushing shock. If pure damage is what your after, force pulse wins no contest. I won't go back to crushing shock now, I do more damage with force pulse, and irs nice in boss fights to pop wall on the boss and adds, the go back to targeting boss and my force pulse guts the adds too! Which results in killing the boss faster then if you were using crushing shock.

Wow this skill may be the most underrated skill in the game, it will hit anything that's effected by an element.

    Going by the description, Force Pulse only hits up to two other enemies. Compare with Templar's Reflective Light, which hits two other enemies 100% of the time for 100% of the primary effect.

    Yeah not everyone is a Templar, but I think in general there are better AoE abilities. Crushing Shock adds a new tool to the Destro staff, which IMO is more useful than yet another AoE ability.

    In pvp crushing shock is often reflected leaving you stunned and vulnerable.

    Also in my testing once you drop wall and tap force pulse, the other 2 enemies hit can also proc element effects, essetialky you can keep 3 targets either snared, burning, or concussed which is far more useful then reflective light.

    Concussion status works on bosses and elite mobs reducing their attack damage by 10%, and force pulse seems to proc disintegrate on the secondary targets sometimes.

    The sorc has other tools in his arsenal to interupt, crystal drags and streak to name 2, I think having an ability that synergizes with the staff is better. What makes a destro staff good is the elemental effects, and force pulse capitolizes on those effects where crushing shock doesn't.

    Crushing shock is preferred due to the interrupt. Yeah Force pulse is better for damage, but nothing beats interrupting a caster from 28m away.

    "Oh you want to heal yourself? Crystal shards without the proc gets hit by what?"

    Also for multiple targets, we have Elemental Ring for that.

    wall of elements + force pulse + enemy using purge = bugged damaged and instakill I would imagine. Theres a thread on DoT hitting in half the time and/or stacking.

    :(
