Ulzuin's Torch proc (Meteor Shower) is in drastic need of buffs

[konfeta]

I’ve played with a ~6K Leviathan as well. Leviathan just as Meteor shower requires momentum. You need a way to have at least two or three whirpools under your enemy for it to have a big effect. That is not hard to do indded provided you don’t need to kite tough bosses.

The the damage per meteor is kind of what you state. Can reach upto 4k but you are not taking into considereation that most of the time, one target will be hit by more than 1 metor. And i do mean most of the time. That is why skills like devastation are so strong and though metor shower is not as potent in raw damage it makes up for it with the ability to spam it. You can have a constant stream of metors in a fight pounding a Nemesis and it will be hit by multiple meteors. With good OA and debuff just one meteor can crit well over 12K. Adds up with multiple hits and is on par with Leviathan that can crit with debuffs and good OA around 20K .

I explicitly took that into consideration. Just run around with Meteor on flashbang and study how often it actually hits. Most of the meteors miss unless the target is quite fat. Even the lucky scenario of 3-4 meteors hitting a target every proc (i.e. every 3 seconds) is laughable.

(Devastation has a higher impact radius and a tighter target area. Perhaps that’s the buff shower needs for reliability…)

The momentum comparison doesn’t apply because you only get 1 shower out at a time. 6 Leviathan pools stacked in 1 place is a death zone that deletes trash on contact and noticeably drains boss HP. Even without the summon loophole, Leviathan’s reliability puts it on top against anything that’s not C’Thonian/Undead Nemesis type enemies.
