Anyone know why a Frostfire Bolt (DoT) is hitting for 1.7mil?

Just queued an arena on my Monk and my details says Frostfire Bolt(DoT) crit me for 1.7mil. Is this just a weird details bug?

Hard to tell with a billion pets around.

It’s a bug. Occasionally the stars align and the actual cast hits that hard- it probably registers as a dot because it can proc as an instant with frostfire empowerment that gives it 60% increased damage.

It’s because I used ice form, built up a couple frosty boys with a proc or two and then BAM.

frostfire bolts hit for 1.5m + consistently. not stars aligning

No it doesn’t.

if you’re playing the right spec it does, every match

Yep! Sometimes details mistakes the spell for the dot if they hit at the same time.

Definitely a casted proc one.

If you let em ramp during veins, ya, but thats a little high. I feel like 1.2 mil is more normal. Not trying to split hairs or anything, but it ends up being a big difference.

Yea it does, every match I played against a Frost Mage (probably about 8 or 9 matches in normal 3s) they were doing consistent 1.6-1.7mil damage FF Bolt Crits lol.

what is so crazy about a hard cast (on vital schools) with amps/mods critting for a mil and a half

I don’t think it was a cast. I think it was an Instant Frostfire bolt. That’s why it showed up in Details as DoT.

Still whats so insane about it.

Not like you got 100-0’d from a proc alone, or a string of instants like ele can with multiple earth shocks critting for higher.

Just out of context “oh this spell hit Crit me” posts are so shallow, what do you want people to say

No it’s just a huge chunk of damage that comes out of nowhere being Instant. I can see Chaos Bolt critting for 1.6-1.7mil since it’s casted but the instant 1.5-1.8mil damage chunks are some of the hardest hitting abilities in PvP right now. And I’m not saying Ele Earthshocks are balanced here either, they are also critting way too high and being back to back is insane pressure, that needs tuning as well.

Yea it won’t kill you, but that kind of crit out of nowhere will absolutely guarentee kills in most situations.

Man sin rogues i’ve seen hit 3mil + envenoms, Ele can crit for 3m too and overload for another mill

You got crit by a dinky proc

People aren’t even slapping you right

You’re gonna die in this game, stuff like this isn’t even an outlier really.

And with the amount of avoidance and mitigation hunters sport right now, its a shocker he landed a proc between buttons hunters have.

You’re acting like that 1.8mil was the entire damage dump of instants from the Frost mage lol…1.2mil damage instant Ice Lances, tons of smaller damage as well.

None of these are balanced and absolutely need tuning…although I haven’t been hit with a 3mil Envenom, I have been hit for a 2.6mil Evis from Sub though.

You’re a hunter complaining about mage btw

And I’ve literally said in multiple posts that BM Black Arrow critting for 1mil damage is absolutely overtuned and needs nerfs. Next

Even still, its about the ease of use/access to BA on top of

Ros, 2 walls, Feign, SI, Sting, and the sheer amount of pressure that a half afk BM can do to a mage that can’t avoid their dam

is complaining about a proc being squeezed in for just 1.7m is so disgraceful,

focus on other things bud

I’m literally not comparing BM to Mage lol. BM is absolutely overtuned and everyone knows it…Mage might not be as overtuned as BM with Black Arrow but it’s still overtuned on FF Bolt instants.

That’s not even crazy damage,

you’re like based on principle and “proc out of nowhere” shouldn’t have shattered me for 1.7, so overtuned amirite guys

I wouldnt be surprised it sniffed 1.7 with just about everything star possible rolling and thats the one thing you noticed
