Hey warlock folks out there!
mod 18 is out now and I've been looking at the changes and it seems like creeping death from warlock now does a decent chunk of dmg with it's stacking effects. It is killing it in single target, but how does it perform in AOE situations? I'm still testing it with Advanced combat tracker etc. but I can't find the satisfying number for me.
So what are your thoughts and testing so far?
Would creeping death actually outperform executioners gift in AOE situations?
Let's take LoMM for example, weaker mobs barely survive longer than 3-5 seconds.
and creeping death takes the first reap after 2 seconds which is abit over 2000 then after 4 seconds over 4000, after 6sec 6000+dmg then after 10 it would do 11k dmg. to max of 10 stacks and it refreshes after every hit. As long as the target has 10 stacks it would receive 11k dmg. every 2 seconds.
stronger mobs tend to survive longer than the smaller ones, they last around 6-11 seconds.
If you would pull off your following rotation: 1. Fiery bolt, 2. cursebite+parting blasphemy, 3. Infernal spheres or hellfire ring, 4. Curse bite, then 2-3 hits of At-wills... it would then apply 6-8 stacks of Creeping death. sometimes even more. Wouldn't that be better than execut. gift?
Now let's look at 20% Execut. gift: Mob has 100% HP ---> gets damaged by other players down to 80%, then cast Fiery bolt (20.000 base dmg) paired with deadly curse (2500 dmg)= 22.500!
First hit from fiery b. would get 900-1000 (4%) from exec. gift.
Second hit: Curse bite 25. 000 + parting blasphemy 8500 = 33.500! 2nd one hits at 60% and would get 8% bonus from exec. gift, which is 2680!
Third Hit: Infernal Spheres 24.000 + Deadly curse 2500 = 26.500. This one hits at around 40% which gets 12% bonus from exec gift. 3180 bonus dmg
curse bite and parting b. again hits at around 20% HP of mob, gets 16% or more form exec gift. 5360 dmg.
Then hit the left overs with couple At-Wills which adds abit over 1200 bonus form exec gift.
Executioners gift rotation would do between 12k to 15k dmg. Probably 2 rotations are needed to finish stronger mobs. consider that encounters cooldowns are around 10+ seconds. I have not taken any crits in account as it is just relative.
Creeping death rotation would do on weaker mobs 2k-4k dmg. on stronger ones it does between 20k to 55k.
