Disintegrate

I am puzzled by the tooltip of Disintegrate:

Spell Mastery: Kills targets who are below 480% of your weapon damage.


My weapon is a Golden dragon artifact, 938-1147 damage
480% of 938-1147 is 4502-5505
So, when TAB-ed it kills foes whose HP is below 4502? That's delivering 4503 damage and that's what any other spell does too. Why dhould I Tab this one?

    I guess it has a purpose in pvp against a tank having his shield up to finish him.

    Otherwise I see no point since it already way more than those 5K hp.

    This ^.

    ...Because it's "new?" and you can, um, "disintegrate*" people?
    * ...and by "disintegrate" we mean just damage opponents with a green light and not actually do anything spectacular.

    And there's a flashy animation of them turning green and then disintegrating into particles if they die from it ... :p

    I do think the treshold is anappealing. It should be 400% out of mastery and 600% on tab ...

    But don't forget it should pass all damage resist. 100% DR for 5s, no problem if ypu have less than 5k health it will kill you.
    Actually, I can't even say if it work at all. It's very difficult to test correctly.

    So, Disintegrate is as bad as it looks.
    I still have to unlock Inprisonment. Can it be casted on friends? It protects from any damage for a few seconds, that would give them time for their cooldowns.

    Don't be wrong. Disintegrate is the bigest damage spell for CW. It should be on everi mare casting bar.
    it hit a little lesss than Ice Knife but every 5s. But there's no purpose to slot it on tab.

    I've found that, in PvE, it's rare that my strongest Disintegrate to come close my weakest Ice Knife. It averages 30K, while my IK averages 100K. I've seen it hit for over 100K a few times, but it's rare. It's just another average single target power. It's only strong point is the short cool down.

    I don't like the tool tip either "This 30K nuke will kill opponents under 5K health" (going by the OPs math) Oh boy!

    Other good feature is a fast animation. When you're dodging Cloud Giants, animation time is a consideration....

    You hit me for 60k yesterday... is it good enough for a 4 seconds encounter?

    I do have 30k-40k disintegrate but my average Ice Knife is more around 60k. 100k is a crit on full debuff target.

    I did get to disintegrate Venfithar once, I cast Disintegrate at just the right time when the dragon's HP was almost gone and it was quite cool :)

    I've never had much luck with Disintegrate in PvP. Maybe I need to focus hugely on AP to make it work.

    You must've been substantially debuffed, and the caster buffed....it just doesn't hit that hard on it's own.

    Disintegrate is our first good damage single target encounter. Very nice ability on short cooldown.
    Comes in 3rd behind COI & IT (spellstorm procs) for PVE dps. It seems pretty useful in GG, and it plays well with Spell Twisting.

    EF, RoE, Disentigrate packs a nice punch on most players.

    No, it's as good as Icy Knife and does almost equal damage. Although you don't want it on spell mastery since it's bugged like that according to my tests. Of course, Focused Wizardry with this, no way around it.
    Tab = Icy Rays.
