Does anyone know if Azure Celerity reduces the overall damage of Disintegrate or does the extra tick result in more damage.
I’m aware that even if it does nerf its damage, the extra procs of Scintillation and Causality make it worth it.
Quick napkin maths:
Another tick is a 33% buff since we’re going from 3 ticks to 4
100x1.33x0.9=119.7
So assuming you get all four ticks it’s just under a 20% buff in terms of raw damage, higher when you consider things that proc when it ticks.
If you start considering dropping ticks, it gets a hell of a lot more complicated.
Actually, it’s going from 4 to 5 ticks. It currently ticks on cast and then 3 times after.
I’ve done the math, it translates into a 12.5% buff. However, this is only if the 10% nerf only applies to each tick and not the total damage of a full cast. Currently the wording does not specify.
