Hey everyone. I just started playing Devastation Evoker in season 4 and I’ve been having a lot of fun. But I was wondering realistically if there is an actually noticeable DPS increase using Nasz’uro instead of Kharnalex. Something about Nasz’uro giving buffs to allies instead of yourself throws me off just a bit. Does getting the legendary actually help me do more damage? Or is it only good for allies.
Yes, at bis gear the legendary is about 22k+ or so DPS better than kharn.
The buffs jump to players that have active CDs running, but spend a certain amount of time on you either way as well.
It’s not enough of an increase to worry about getting when you can just buy a kharn, especially at this point in the tier, but if you’ve got both it’s definitely better.
The tooltip for Nasz’uro is very misleading then. I already have a max Kharnalex but I might as well still go for the legendary. Thank you very much.
Yeah, it doesn’t really give you how it works. It will generally start on you and then jump to other players, preferring those with CDs running.
Part of the reason it’s better is simply just the 7 extra ilvls worth of stat budget on the legendary.
If you’re still up for farming sark/want the tmog go nuts, but it’s not like the 2h axe from fyrakk where you’re gimped without it.
Gotcha. How long does it take before the buff bounces back to you? Or is it just whenever you pop another CD.
It’s relatively random, but generally you get it for a good amount of time.
Looking at a few of my logs, it has around a 70-72% uptime overall, with 38-40% of that on me and then split among 9-10 others for the rest of the duration.
I had the buff 19 times in a fight, and others had it 20 times collectively.

There’s a log of assault which would have good uptime since there’s a lot of pyre spam if you want to go into the buffs and look at timing.
That’s very good to know. Thank you for the help.
The staff’s channeled damage ability is scaling hilariously well in the beta right now, almost certainly will be fixed but if TWW comes and it hasn’t been fixed, it will 1000% be better.
I have seen it tick for as high as 1.7 million. I t was letting me solo the level 80 elite rares with just the staff alone.
Wouldn’t count on it staying this strong but just in case it does it’ll be worth getting/keeping.
Considering it will be replaced well before max level with stat budgets, I doubt they’ll put too much emphasis on gutting it.
Well beta is beta but the two times I leveled 70-80 on this guy (yes, twice) I never got much gear upgrades. The ones I did “upgraded” to 350~ ilvl
