Your damage depends on your total item level. Stormforged weapon gives you additionally +200 to your damage, even in scaled content so it's worth to use this weapon. Your combat enchantment (for example Poisoned Thorn) gives you a multiplicative bonus to damage, so it's quite important to use it instead of some incoming…

You should start doing latest campaign. BiS weapon comes from there and dragon vale stuff is obsolete now. Legendary weapon you can get in 8 weeks, purple in 6 weeks if I remember correctly. Even purple weapon beats dragon vale weapon. To get them, you must do campaign and some quests. You don't have to even make a step…

@mwk, yes, you should change to char/int.

No. Crit severity from Critical Conflagration works even without combat. You can check it very easily. Look: My crit severity with Critical Conflagration slotted: My crit severity with Critical Conflagration unslotted: In your case, difference between arcanist and thaumaturge is 20%, because you using feat called "Critical…
-
@mwk And I know why your thaumaturge has more crit severity than Arcanist. You using Critical Conflagration. Now thaumaturge deals miserable damage, especially on bosses. Look on cooldown on your last feat, Directed Flames. It has 12 sec cooldown. You can easily check in ACT how low damage smolder deals. On preview things…

Currently BoA is around 2% of total damage on my single target build. I don't see the reason to play with it anymore. As for Arcane Empowerment, you should leave it with x5 recharge bonus. We using this daily during artifact call and trying to make best use of our encounters during this limited time. This is very…

In PoM even if whole group trying to get gold it is nearly impossible. PoM is for many players considered as the most annoying skirmish, for me too. And reward for final result is the same, so why running and killing hordes of mobs for nothing? Idk if it works in the same way in Throne skirmish, I was doing it when PoM was…

Builds in this game are so simplified since m16. There is no any secret in feat setup, you can find this in any better guide because people came to the same conclusion. But here you have my setup which I believe will be the best in this situation: And believe me, I checked it and I would be playing Thaumaturge only if he…
-
I used almost similar setup as thaumaturge, one different feat, other class feature and encounters. If you want, we can compare it as I wrote you in the message. I was too lazy to check what is the portion of damage done by smolder in whole result.
-
I haven't seen your arcanist feats. There is one which gives him CA in such situation. All serious endgamers playing Arcanist. I just know by doing my own tests that Thaumaturge is far behind Arcanist.
-
@strathkin it's because i'm using Shatter Strike. Repl has twice time bigger magnitude than firebal and this feat makes it even better.
-
Such tests won't prove much but ok, I did it just for you. My wizard is 70k. I haven't use 10% potions for dragons, they are too precious for me. I used Wild Storm Elixir, Squash Soup and Flask of Potency rank 3, Dragon slaying glyph and Rage of Flames in both cases. Could be better, but here is: Thaumaturge ↑ Arcanist ↑…
-
To be honest, I don't know how you playing, but your results have no basis in reality. Thaumaturge has no tools to deal damage comparable to Arcanist. In mod 16, Thaumaturge was on top because of his last feat, Directed flames. This feat was dealing larger portion of total damage. I don't remember in which module they…
-
@strathkin you said and even noted on image that it was young dragon. Second thing, your encounters setup for Arcanist on Single Target is completely wrong. Icy terrain isn't good choice in single target fights, especially when boss is moving. You should use Ray of Enfeeblement on maestry, only then it gives you 10% damage…
-
I just checked it on preview to be 100% sure. Temporary HP from Battle Tempered enchant not replacing blue shield given by paladin or mount (Lion). Instead, it stacks with it. Here is video I made to prove it: https://streamable.com/bo1ahi I get my blue HP from „Divine Touch” and then I used At-will to get 20 stacks of…

On my tank I have unlocked three t3 modifiers. During this time, I earned 4 133 Chromatic Elemental Strands. One strand is worth not even 1 guild mark. It’s worth… 1/3 guild mark. The value of this currency is questionable for me. I know that after changes in Tyranny of the Dragons there should be some kind of curency to…
-
Clearly, you have no idea about PC player base. As @plasticbat said, most people using arc or even starting launcher directly. If PC version would have 700 players as you see on chart, it would be closed long time ago. I see too many people with attitude like "I don't like it/I don't use, take it from everyone who like it…
-
One of the problems is game design centered around new players. For new player game offers high item level gear with terrible bonuses and stats. This gear just boosts your IL, but not helping at all to balance your stats. It’s their idea to brings new players to endgame content which makes more bad than good. To new player…

What an awful change, now it's even hard to differentiate comments. Complete mess, inconsistent with page theme. If your goal was discouraging people to visit forum, then good job. I'm hoping for fix or back to old version, because I can't believe that your company paid money for this.
-
You can't buy Armorsmithing recipes I and II? For some people this quest is bugged (for me too), and even if they have all professions unlocked, they can't start it. If these two books are available, you can buy them and it should trigger the quest. I tested it on preview. But this is spending 1kk ad to fix old bug...
-
Excellent. Buying recipe for ad unlocked quest for me too. I'm hoping for fix immadiatelly, because I have spend fortune to unlock all professions and I don't want to spend it again on things that I already unlocked. But probably I expect too much, and it will be bugged even in a day of official release.
-
What is inappropriate in staying in finished dungeon? Some people starting que and doing quests in meantime, because it may take some time. They can be in the middle of important BHE and "decline" option is useful. Current problems with cancelling queues it's just a bug and i hope this will be fixed soon. No need such…
-
Penalizing people is never good idea. Instead doing this, you should realize why they act this way and draw conclusions. Problem begins when people 35k IL are supposed to do more challenging content, sometimes first time. Then we struggling with killing mimics, we have more than one golem-phase on 2 boss in lomm and so on.…
-
There is no other way to estimate player skill and competence than looking on gear. What is the other way when you gathering party and inspecting a player? Think about it as ranks in military. When you want to know how a given soldier is important you looking on his uniform and rank insignia. Would be bad if private…
-
For such tickets, I would like to buy ingredients I'm missing instead of some useless emotes. This is better than relying on broken rng. We already get emotes from current event, and it is their way to give us something without real value.A long time ago, people asked about some sort of currency needed to buy regular…
-
I found that steal time is better now. We are not interrupted anymore. Long casting on encounters was the one of the reasons why wizard was bad in AoE fights. A smal amount of damage from procing storm spell is not worth changing casting time back to the old value. In this case, storm spell should be reworked because is…
-
No just no. People who don't have these ring should work on themselves to be able to run this content. Some items shouldn't be sellable, same as trial weapons. Only way to get it is playing content and it should stay as is. Why? Because it gives satisfaction when you have more unique item than others, acquired by your…
-
Look from the dps perspective. What is the reason to invite such tank to group? He has +20% dmg, but without threat generation. If this is private q, I would take another one dps, run will be even faster. If this is redq, me or another real dps would have aggro. But during this time tank could play without interruption.…
-
Today I was played lomm – me as justicar, a girlfriend as dc heal. We want to see how it would look like if we go from public queue. They had 30-43 TIL, and we suffered from lack of dps everything lasts long a bit. We did first boss without problems and wipes, but second boss was a bit challenging. He was charged to full…
-
I didn't wrote that it's a regular stat. Threat can be generated by dpses and even healers. Tanks has class mechanic that incrases their threat generation. There are aslo items that incrases threat by %. So it is just some generated value, based on your damage and threat multipliers, not displayed in your character tab.…
