Which is better? I know guides say different things but I tend to feel like bursting sores at my current level is better. What do you guys think?
ebon fever is generally better. If you take bursting sores you kinda have to take infecting claws to compensate, which is a DPS loss on its’ own for single target. ebon fever is usually best at all levels.
Unless, of course, yuo can regularly pull add packs of 10+. then bursting sores/infecting claws is better.
Edit: fixed “sweeping claws” and replaced it with “infected claws”.
Isn’t it less damage though?
Ebon fever is for ST and sustained aoe fights, while BS is more for burst aoe fights. A good example of this is bwomsamdi adds in M+10s, BS with IC is insane dps, especially with the festermight gear from the raid. We get 2 festermight pieces with the first 3 bosses!
iC/BS is less dmg on st, so you’re sacrificing that for much stronger burst aoe dmg.
Basically bursting sores is only better if you have at least 6+ adds consistently, otherwise ebon fever will outperform bursting sores on all other situations.
What is sweeping claws? Cant find it at all
My bad, I accidentally said sweeping claws instead of infected claws. I edited my last post based on that.
but for reference, sweeping claws is the AOE ability your pet uses while dark transformation is up.
