Slaad Active Bonus

in PvE Discussion
Hi,

The slaad has a 12% chance to produce stacks of poison. Has someone a clue how much damage he can generate with one tick and one stack?

    I plan to get a test in on preview and might post it. But not before Monday.

    Oooookay,... i buyed one to test it. Now it generates a DPS Loop or more likely it won't stop doing damage on the training puppet because it seems that the Lostmauth Set and the Death Slaad activates each other. If the Death Slaad hits critical with his poisen DOT it also activates the Lostmauth Set because of the criticial hit. The hits of the Lostmauth Set can acitvate the effect of the Death Slaad. So it won't stop.

    Overall the Death Slaads damage seems okay. It increase the DPS by 11% if you are a TR.

    It is Funny, in Open PvP i only need one Duelist Flurry and the other one is determined to die.

    If this doesn't get nerfed, it's going to be a "must have" companion.
    What's with people who put their Ilvl in their Signatures? They probably have a big gold chain and saggy pants too.

    It is 2015 and they didnt fix TR's since last year..cmon
  • karakla1karakla1 Member Posts: 1,355 Arc User
    I don't know what this has to do with the TR. he has it easy to generate the stacks but the stacks doesn't disappear because it seem that lostmauth set keeps generating stacks of its own. So anyone can use it.

    Well, perhaps it's working as intended... you never know. They write one thing, and later another...

    According to my tests: The "Poisonous intent" have a DPS loop, the damage is always between 1700 and 2200 per second. It can stack up to x5 which means that if 1 stack does 2000 per second then 5 stacks will do 2000 each one per second (or in other words a total of 10k per second). It lasts for about 3 minutes with 5 stacks if it's not refreshed. It is not affected by buffs/debuffs. I soloed a few HE for 10+ in iwd dale and it was around 12%-15% of my total damage. However, I don't expect it to be that much in a dungeon because everything usually dies fast and there will be not enough time to add 5 stacks in an enemy except on bosses.

    I didn't see any relation between the death slaad's active bonus and the lostmauth's set while I was testing with my GWF, it works in the same way with and without wearing the whole set.

    That is strange, i did test it now again but it doesn't affect lostmauth set at all. Maybe it was the duelist flurry bleeding or i simply missread the the numbers. Strange.

    I tested it and the poison stacks last for 25 seconds, if not refreshed. On my CW, stacks were doing 1200-1600 each. Damage is per stack per second.

    On a class that uses at lot of At-Will attacks, it's easily BiS

    At blue, it changes to 14% and stacks to 5.

    At purple, 15% chance and after 5 stacks, they explode in an AOE that damages up to 5 targets.

    What does this poison show up in under ACT? Or are you using a different parser?

    I sat at the target dummy and just used my at-will (shielding strike -- pally) for about 2 minutes. I didn't see one proc at all and ACT didn't show anything either. I also did a manual search in the combatlog file in notepad++ and didn't see any entry with "poison" in it at all.

    I also ran through the DR lair DS and Sharandar lair Gnarl and ACT didn't show any "poison" entry either in the Outgoing Damage under my character.

    Does this poison show up under a different category in your testing?
  • karakla1karakla1 Member Posts: 1,355 Arc User
    It shows up under outgoing damage. I think the english term is "vicious poison"

    Ok, thanks. I reran GC and now the "Poisonous Intent" showed up in the logs. It's weird that it didn't show up the first time I ran through it last night. The only thing I did differently today was to send the Slaad off for training earlier so it was no longer level 1. But I doubt that was the issue. But whatever, it works now.

    The poison was 4% of my damage through the GC run and the average hit was 1360. (Prot Pally)
  • karakla1karakla1 Member Posts: 1,355 Arc User
    sounds like a good damage increase, not many companions grant so much increase in damage.

    Any other companion in the green to blue department, that offers something equal?

    The DPS is around 6-7k. The problem is it doesn't stop soon. Each stack should have a 6 second up time and it seems the dot ignores the resistance on monsters and players.

    ... and the only way to obtain this companion was through this promotion thing?

    That is way too much for me, if i would even reach that much AD, i would rather save more and exchange it to ZEN, to go after one of those packs with account wide companions, even if those are not that op.

    I'm honestly surprised it's that cheap.

    It's not that good. Some people here exaggerate so they can sell it for high price. Think twice before you'll spend lot's of AD in to something that may get nerfed to the ground in future.

    It is +10-12% DPS it is actually pretty good. Other posion companions only grant +0-3%
    The Black Scorpion for example only grants 0.2% additional DPS.

    Yeah, getting an extra few % is extremely nice for an active bonus. It's not game breaking, but it's very, very good.

    If your class uses a lot of at-wills, it's great.

    This type is probably less good in dungeons than in dummies. It takes time to apply all 5 stacks and mobs die faster.
