I didn’t mean to reply to you lol.
I watched Lux do 7mil dps on a big pull in a +9 today on UDK. All you do is literally mash all your CDs, drop “D&D”, hit Vile contagion with 6 wounds on one mob and go to spamming scourge and epidemic/death coil.
I’m sure he had all of his cooldowns going plus trinkets.
Regardless, that wasn’t the original topic, if you have the perfect setup, all cd’s and large enough pulls, unholy shines, I agree. However, for the everyday player who runs keys where tanks usually pull individual packs or so, you still have the same complexity except your dps suffers as bursting sores and epidemic drop off exponentially the less and less enemies you have and other dps class will outshine you.
It’s something Blizzard didn’t balance correctly so unless you’re doing keys where tanks pull multiple packs and you have the right stats and gear, your fine. But most players will never know…
FDK has the same issue. Both specs shine the longer the packs last. Once trash pulls are actually lasting at least 10 global unholy starts to retake its crown as the aoe king.
Specs like DH are very front loaded in there damage and start to fall on their face when pulls start to last 20-30 secs
I defiantly do pull a lot better numbers when doing at least a +6 key cuz that’s where our CDs start to line up more with each pack. I don’t think specs are tuned around +4 and lower keys and tanks pulling 4 mobs at a time.
