5.2.3 & 5.2.4 Liquid Lightning is Still Underperforming (also 5.2.5)

✭✭✭✭✭boneyard without consuming a corpse does even less damage than liquid lightning.
I haven’t done a lot of testing on Necro or DK this patch, so I can’t comment on Boneyard or Eruption specifically. I’ve seen decent numbers in some parses for Boneyard (5.6k DPS for the DoT without the synergy), but they were likely consuming corpses which can get unreliable in dungeons and trials. I’m sure the Necro 15% DoT bonus passive also helps with this. For DK, I’ve seen Eruption hit 5.3k DPS from the DoT in parses, which seems a little low as well.
I didn’t want to get too broad with the topic here, because in reality several AoE DoTs are underperforming. Blazing Spear is only passable because of Burning Light, and really it should do more damage as an AoE DoT (especially since Magplar is dead last for DPS currently). And whatever happened to Caltrops? I’m really only happy with Winter’s Revenge and Twisting Path. Wall and Endless Hail are also ok, but only because of vMA weapons and enchant procs.
Still I’d say Liquid Lightning is in the worst place of any skill, with its 3.6k DPS and massive cost. And it is such an important skill to the Sorcerer class (no-pet Sorc especially).Edited by WrathOfInnos on October 24, 2019 12:31AM0
