Burst is maximum damage you can do within as short a time as possible (one timestamp, ideally). DWIC hits when Brain Bursta lands. 2 x ere we go are triggered with the aforementioned two abilities. You then finish with laser.dshdf wrote: ↑Tue Aug 21, 2018 10:25 amHow exactly those affect shaman burst? 400 dmg (1 tactic slot + 1 gcd) from double ere we go is like one tick of one dot. 240 toughness debuff boosts your burst for +- the same amount. DWIC is everything but not the singletarget burst thing also, it has less damage and less range than brainburst. Moreover you barely can combine any 2 of mentioned "burst tools" into single rotation if your target is not afkpeterthepan3 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 21, 2018 8:55 am
AM does not have access to 2 x ere we go, 240 toughness debuff or DWiC; it does not have the same burst potential.
tl;dr: that utility/pressure things, not burst tools
AM doesn't have as much damage potential within a timestamp or two as the Shaman can get (though I concede that it probably isn't far off). Even during double spirit debuff era, Shaman could achieve more burst dps. When assisting a magus or sorc, I barely even used dots because the above was usually more than sufficient in killing targets.
Inability to actually pull off the rotation is a user issue.
