Ruination needs a buff – it's now dealing slightly less damage than Chaos Bolt on average on single targets

On my character, Chaos Bolt currently has an average damage of around 2.94 million per hit over a 5 minute single target fight while Ruination only has an average damage of 2.87 million damage per hit. This is counter to its intended design, as Ruination is a capstone talent for Diabolist that is cast only a handful of times in a given fight. It should be dealing considerably more damage than a default Chaos Bolt to warrant temporarily replacing it. This was true at the start of the expansion but after multiple buffs to Chaos Bolt, Ruination needs some compensatory tuning to make it feel impactful again.

One would think they’d set Ruination to be a multiplyer of Chaos Bolt so this won’t happen.

Hey, we don’t use that kind of logical thinking around here

Bump. Please make Ruination feel like a meaningful spell for Destruction again.
