Havoc does so much more damage? or am i crazy? or am i bad part-time melee dev dh?.
havoc now do more damage, dev sucks
In theory and in perfect situations, Devourer does more damage than Havoc.
However, Devourer is also much much much context dependent than Havoc in order to deliver said damage.
Realistically, even in perfect scenarios, Devourer is not very far ahead, maybe a 5% or so, but when combined with raid mechanics it is normal that people are flocking to Havoc simply because of a more reliable execution.
Devourer in some bosses like for example Twin Fangs and Ulatek is very hard to play simply because of the whole “go to melee to do your rotation”. I simply hope VSM gets removed going forward. Melee talents were an experiment, they failed.
Yes, and No … Devourer has a completely different mechanic than Havoc. It took me a while to adapt, but once I did - I pretty much feel invincible as a Devourer. The trick is it is Mid Range not close range.
It’s all about the set-up before attacking. Plant your orbs around, wait to drop the bomb, and then manage your spirit-bomb so you can maximize that and your crashing abilitites.
