I hope it's not a bug.

But our rains have begun hitting harder, looks like theyre being focus'd...

My rain is usually bout 55k. was hitting for 75k-80k last night.

I tested to see if it was Fire Core, it is not. It is First Spire that's increasing them.

With the new content, Wizards went from 120kdps before, to about 155kdps Last night... I went from about 105kdps previously, to 132kdps last night ( 60 second burn )

The balancing seems right when you look at the wizard increases... so I hope this was intended. But there was no mention of it in the release notes. anyway check it out... Rains kickin big butt .

First Spire can't increase their DMG. It is a crit chance modifying ability.

You probably had a crit DMG modifier on like Black wolf or Fierce Eye.

I was soloing with just a merc when I first saw this... so no, it was neither of those buffs.

Was solo in resp. temple. & burning through a lesson when i noticed the 75k Rain hits, next time discs were up, popped fire core thinking that was focusing the new fire rain, rained, nothing, 55k like normal. Popped FIrst spire, Bam, 75k again.

I can't say positively that BOTH rains were critting bigger, but i believe so. & yeah... then in raid I Used a Rain/Rain/Of Many/Spear weave and my dps was waaaaay up.

Test it yourself.

Yeah just got home, and confirmed... First Spire is increasing Critical Damage on Rains.

I was doing some parses on release day and saw the same thing. Crit chance modifier was adding adding damage to non critted and critted rains. No clue why and the numbers were random. No super long parses, but rains are usually one number for non crit, another number for crit. Sure it is a bug.

The sad thing is... They'll probably 'fix' this before they fix our Pet Aggro bug, which has made the fire pet all but useless to me for months now.

[Piemastaj]

That is an odd bug. It should not be happening and it is a bug.

Let's just delete this thread
