MagDK: Which skills proc seething fury (Molten whip)?

Paramundo

Hello,

i got a question about molten whip. The tooltip says that every ardent flame ability can proc seething fury up to three times. However, when using ardent flame abilities just cauterize procs seething fury but no other ability. Is this intended or a bug?

Regards, Para

All ardent flame should proc it. But you have to have it on the same bar. If you use ardent ability from back bar, when your whip is on front, it doesn't work.
Edit: cheers! Happy to help.

Hi Zvavi, thanks a lot. This answers my question. I did not know that.

I really hope that this mechanic gets an overhaul at some point.

Seething Fury is great but the clunkiness of mandating that the abilities be on the same bar and then the randomness of having Chains be located in that tree really plays havok with its ease of use.

I would LOVE to see Chains (a tank/PvP skill) swapped with Burning Talons so that you could just pick up the three stacks quickly in your DoT rotation.

I see the top-end magDKs and their ~100% uptime on max stacks and wonder what kind of crazy rotation they use to keep stack uptime while also not re-casting their DoTs too early and harming their sustain.

You cannot have 100 % uptime if you are actually using molten whip, as it will consume the buff. I think chains is a good way to sustain on mag dk, as well as proc the passive, it's quite good.

With the new burning gives you 500 mag back passives, there is no reason to run chains, too much of a dps loss.

The combustion change was a good change.

You could run either charger staff or asylum precise for basically perfect sustain, but if you run a normal set staff with precise you might run into a bit of a sustain problem.

Even without assylum/charged it is 200~ mag/s.
