Asylum Perfected Inferno on PTS (Video Comparison)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smS-BKXifv8The results are clear, even with extra spell damage, the 3 cast mechanic makes the staff fall behind. Roughly the same stats and simple use of skills. Having into account more complex rotations, cleave damage and damage modificators/bonuses the gap will keep getting wider and wider

✭✭✭✭✭While I did not dissect the rotations I think it points out what we expected. I would say that a "raid" rotation needs to be compared as current builds from live would need to fit this change to give full feedback.
In reality, Zos has demonstrated over the years a lack of being able to provide critical thought in how to balance the game. As a result, they took this overly simplistic route of standardization in hopes of being able to finally be able to manage combat in this game. This change is taking that standardization a step too far and it makes zero sense.
Thx for doing the testing and publishing it.2 -

✭✭The appropriate measure here would be to return the casts back to 2. Fix the bug, of course, but leaving the staff at 2 gives it relevancy without being overpowered. It also allows for more build diversity and fun, while allowing DK to have options and not just be stuck within 5 meters of a boss (molten whip). Unless they plan on making a morph of stone fist actually usable... Force pulse is NOT usable without the 2 cast staff, it cannot be sustained well enough, and does very lackluster damage. Please consider this.

Zalathorm✭✭✭✭Agreed. Please revert back to 2 casts to proc. The fix to status procs and the reduced time window to 5 seconds are enough.3

Nicalas✭✭✭No viability at 3 casts. Just a decon item. It's quite possibly the only good item or reason to run vAS+2. With these changes it just becomes dead content.0

500 dps difference in burning, whats the point in this? Since when Asylum has been bis to other than DK:s? Also, hardly valid comparison with Precursor.0
