    DW Sorc using degeneration - that empowers light attacks you can’t do with dual swords. I don’t get it.

    The DW playstyle isn’t dead though, you do MUCH more damage with light attack fire staff woven with wrath. Spell power pots make degeneration unnecessary.

    You use elemental drain instead of degeneration to make frags proc and hit much harder with 5K spell pen. It also helps sustain and gives 8% single target damage bonus for having it slotted.

    @Minalan from Tammy himself!

    I don't use Entropy for empower, I use it as a cheap maj sorcery buff that also gives a little regen and extra max magicka. I prefer it over Crit Surge because you can place on multiple people giving you a poor man's rapid regen effect, and it's a passive HoT ie still heals you when you're running away from zergs (unlike surge). Tried staff and ele drian just don't like the feel of it, even with a destro staff skill giving the 8% buff, spell dmg and tooltip are still significantly less than DW/2H.

    Tell him he forgot to calculate in the damage gained from Major Breach.

    We all get that he's running dw for the feel of it despite staff being better. Nothing wrong with that. I miss dw as well. :/

    Elemental Drain procs Frags? I'm surprised that works.

    It’s a spell that you cast on the same bar with frags on it.

    Why wouldn’t it proc frags? Well. One out of three casts anyways.

    Maybe because it doesn't have a cost and therefore isn't classified as magicka ability?
    Last time i tested it (few months ago), Ele Drain didn't proc Frags.

    @NightbladeMechanics from Tammy!

    Hey Kena I respectfully disagree that dual wield is "worse" than destro staff, just a different play style. I agree that in PvE destro staff might provide superior DPS however in a 1vX or outnumbered PvP scenario (95%) for me, I don't have time to sit there and tap 3-4 players with Elemental Drain and plunk them with light and heavy attacks. While l/h heavy attacks did get a buff this patch I don't think they are a reliable source of damage because of wings, ice shield, s/b reflect, dodge roll, shuffle, or sometimes they just miss on their own and go into the aether >< The vid Haxerus posted shows how fast paced and unpredictable outnumbered combat can be in PvP, applying debuffs to everyone etc takes away from precious seconds that to me are too valuable, again I think that's just a matter play style. Cheers.

    Interesting to know, TBH I haven’t noticed which skill actually procs it with everything else going on.

    What it does do for sure, it counts as having a Destro staff skill slotted right the 8% damage increase.
