So I just got that conduit that makes my apparitions do 40% more damage.
Got me thinking, okay no more searing nightmare.
Go to misery, spread vamp touch around and start getting off those apparitions.
Got me thinking though, crits make 2 spawn, so if you go a build kind of focused around apparitions, should you stack more crit/haste than haste/mastery?
Thoughts?
I just thought, wow 40% increased dmg is a decent amount
unfortunately 40% increased damage on low base damage is not that exciting. i would agree that crit is going to be better than mastery for this build but i don’t think this is going to outperform SN at this point.
Searing Nightmare will still decimate it in 98% of reasonably possible aoe scenarios.
Well, I was thinkin of it like
Combine that 40% with the 15% from auspicious
55% of 350 makes it roughly 542.5 dmg
give or take obviously, and if those crit
and then if you crit, you spawn 2?
Seems like there is potential.
especially if say Conduits scale on a Mythic+ lvl
So this conduit I got from Theatre is 181 40% increased dmg. What if a 215 ilvl one is like 60% increased dmg? or maybe just 48%
I think it has POTENTIAL, but time will tell for sure
An Auspicious Spirits build is ideal for a Council Fight, it’s better than Misery+Psychic Link. But for clumped AOE like dungeons or raid trash waves, Searing Nightmare+Shadow Crash is better.
Halls of Atonement for example, has packs, but usually not like HUGE ones
I guess it will all depend on if you know what to expect from the coming dungeon/raid
The problem is not with the auspicious spirits conduit, it’s that you can’t use the mind devourer if you choose the spirits.
Mind devourer gives you many seconds of DP which is not only the DP damage but also your mastery % for the uptime.
The only dungeon I’d consider dropping sn is theatre.
Spirits are trash after the nerf don’t spec for them in any way it’s a mistake till we have like 35% crit
Our best conduit right now is the one that allows us what is it 4% chance to be able to cast void bolt
You’ll play as on council fights and fights where you can funnel damage from adds onto a main target.
Ok so any encounter with 2 bosses yes but until we get our renown high enough the best conduit is the void bolt one
Oh I thought you were calling out AS as well as HA.
Yeah I can’t see us using HA over DE, outside of like 3-4 target council. And even then ye our second conduit will always be HA anyway.
You’d choose Mindbender right now over Void torrent?
You would 100% play void torrent right now, also mind devourer is terrible.
I completely disagree. A 40% conduit on top of AS is pretty good, especially when you combine it with the crit bonus from Ancient Madness. With this build, voidform + power infusion becomes a HUGE burst cooldown. Just apply vamp touches on all the mobs, pop CDs, spam void bolts, mind plast, devouring plagues, and watch the ghosts annihilate everything. It’s not ideal though once you go above 6 targets, or if the targets don’t live long enough to make the ramp worthwhile.
Its good to have a tool for most any situation in any case. Ive always preferred classes that feel like youre playing the game instead of the character. Minigame spinning plates kinda thing. Its also why Holy is my favorite healer.
Contingent on taking ancient madness which is sub par for all forms of content.
Hi sorry you’re right, I confused dissonant echoes w mind devourer.
