M+ why "Extended Battle" talent?

Hey, everyone!

Because of group members additional damage buff prolongation, which in total is more effective than Disintegration damage under additional Essence Burst procs?

Honestly, between us dragons, I much more happy to see additional Essence Burst procs. that increase my Disintegration damage.

So maybe this talent is good for massive packs on high keys with good tanks, because it is more effective there to use Pyre.

I’m unclear what the post is asking.

Are you saying that extended battle isn’t good, or that it is?

As long as you’re tab targeting your mass disintegrates, extended battle is pretty strong.

I want to find out the advantages of one talent over the other.

Oh, i get it now.

Yeah you definitely want to run extended battle.

With 4pc you’re already swimming in EB procs, and if you tab target your mass disintegrates, esp during dragonrage, you can get some great extensions on multiple bombardments that FAR outweigh some extra essence.

I’ve seen some screenshots in the dev evoker channel in the discord where extensions last so long during dragonrage that the player was able to have 4+ targets with bombardment on.

How does dragonrage help with extending it?

Because you get to use a lot more spenders during d-rage since essence burst procs 100% of the time.

Are they pyre spamming to extend after the 2 masses?

I mean yes, in aoe you should be pyre spamming anyways following the md’s.

Preheat just put out a post talking about that particular talent and why it is good, as well as discussing how current Details meters are inaccurate because it fails to count the buff to bombardments provided by other players.

I assumed it wasn’t pyre spam on 4-5 target pull

I wouldn’t say it’s spam in the way it used to be, but it’s still your spender and you still weave it between md’s because of charged blast at ~12 stacks.
