Endless Hail/Maelstrom Bow Overperfoming?

Looking at this parse from @IzakiBrotherSs

It got me thinking that perhaps Endless Hail and/or the Maelstrom Bow is overperforming. As it stands the Maelstrom Bow is mandatory for all PvE Stam DPS because of the huge power of Endless Hail. This hurts build diversity for Stam players. And increasing build diversity seems to be the goal with HotR.
Thoughts?

✭✭Infused. That's the reason my Endless Hail does so much DPS. The Thunderous Volley enchantment is buffed by 30% while I'm on my DW bar. Its the only persisting enchantment in the game. And obviously Hawk Eye.
The vMA bow isn't the only culprit here.
I don't agree with the "build diversity thing" personally. Its a must have for stamina builds, just like the vMA staff is for magicka builds.
PS: You should have taken the 48k parse
This parse was with the Lover, and the Shadow has proven to be slightly better (basically Shadow is the best mundus stone), with higher peak damage. Still testing stuff though on the traits side though. Edited by Izaki on July 15, 2017 9:05PM@ Izaki #PCEU

✭Ah, maybe that's why it never stood out to me that much before. It was 30% weaker comparative to the other skills because of using Sharp.
Would you say that Infused Maelstrom Destro Staff is equally powerful, or is the extra dps to wep attacks too weak to make the extra 30% more useful than another trait?Edited by dpencil1 on July 15, 2017 9:08PM0 -

Got no idea... I'm not really into magicka anymore (stam NB and Templar finally good hype) so I can't really tell for sure.
However, from a quick look at @Asayre recent post, Infused seems to be BiS in raids. On a HA build, you're going to see a huge DPS gain for sure when used on the vMA staff. On standard builds, I think it will still be a pretty big increase considering how strong light attacks are now. Just need to test whether Infused main bar buffs the vMA enchant if its on the off bar...@ Izaki #PCEU
