I noticed the Conflagration relic had it’s stats updated to be more in line with aether ray. I am currently at lvl 36 with a purifier and apart from the high energy drain it’s melting faces quite effectively. Does over capped AAR still have it beat or is it at least competitive at higher levels? Any theorycrafting or direct experiences would be appreciated.
Yes, capped Aetherray would hard stomp it.
Just 16/16+12/12 AR has 505 average damage per tick before DoT. Conflag has an average of 259 per tick before dot.
Double-capped AR has an average flat tick of 960ish. Before any gear bonuses that would give it flat damage per tick. You can add approx 200-300 flat damage to Aetherray through your itemization as well.
Conflag is really good for it’s level, but it has nothing on AR’s scaling.
It wasn’t updated to be in line with aether ray. It was buffed proportionally to a similar extent that aether ray was buffed. So no chance. It’s a low level relic.
Would be neat if it Aether Ray got a decent fire conversion item that changes the skill effect so it uses conflagration’s art.
Cool thanks guys. Yeah I really like the animation so it’s a shame. I’ll enjoy it for the time being and mabye switch to FoI later. Which is also fun and burny.
