I’ve always felt the 2-3 mob cleave for Elemental could use some tweaking. I would like to see Chain Lightning bounce for a guaranteed amount of hits with mobs 2+. Currently if I cast Chain Lightning on 2 targets it hits twice. 2-3 Targets I find using other spell combinations better.
I think a good change would be something like if cast on 2+ targets it will hit a minimum amount of 4 or 5 times. It would bounce back and forth until it made a certain number of hits. Thoughts?
Would be awesome but doubt they care enough to even read our forum.
CL isnt for 2 target cleave.
CL is for 3+ and only really shines in 4+
This was an issue in MoP I believe whee CL was buffed so much that it actually better to just spam CL in all 2+ scenarios.
They really dont need to change CL to where the spec is dumbed down anymore than it is.
1-2 targets Keep FS up and do your normal rotation finish with ES
3 targets Keep FS up and do your normal rotation finish with EQ
4+ targets spam CL/EQ if they die fast. If they dont die fast the spread FS while spamming CL/EQ.
Usually with 2-3 targets I will often still use CL, but with the normal rotation and only using it when I would have otherwise used LB.
LB is 71.25% of Spell Power.
CL is 43.75% of Spell Power.
With 2 targets I will use EQ if both targets will be alive long enough. I believe EQ needs..4? ticks of it on 2 targets to be stronger than ES (assuming ES doesn’t crit).
CL also has a lower chance to OL on less than 3 targets. I have a hard enough time trying to keep EQ under most tanks long enough for it to tick 4 times since they hardly ever tank duo or trio mobs in one area.
Though since I have been running the TTx3 build for mythics I havent revisisted the idea if EQ on 2+ to proc insta CL. It may be worth it in that scenario.
Yeah, its definitely a niche situation. I wasn’t thinking general trash, but more “boss fight with an add” sorta scenario.
General trash in a m+, I would generally hope my tank isn’t standing still too long with only 2 mobs pulled.
Definitely Queen Ashara last 2 phases is some prime EQ/CL time. Thinking about swapping to my TT set for that fight next time.
