spammable doesn't mean you should spam it, might be why your engi performs poorly.teiloh wrote: ↑Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:04 amThe Engi's main spammable AOE hits armor and because of this they will typically hit for much less. Engi autoattacks are also an insignificant part of AOE DPS.Rapzel wrote: ↑Fri Mar 12, 2021 12:59 am I have never said that Engi AoE DMG is better or on par with Magus AoE DMG, I pointed out the fact that they have access to several other utility tools that makes them really good as well in WBs.
Well played I don't think the two careers are miles apart as the majority of Order Priders do believe they are, both AoE specs are focused around magic damage.
Sure there are attacks that the engi has that gets hard countered by armor, but at the same time Magus lacks auto-attacks and have to deal with careers with high Disrupt chance, while there's very few careers with a innate high dodge chance.
Magus as well (unless it was hotfixed) has to be careful where to put down AoE as WP has Exalted Defenses and can accidentally give WP free +20% healing, while engi is more fire and forget.
Both careers have their strengths and weaknesses. Except you don't see any destro weaknesses
Very few healers go past 750 will and almost everyone has 300+ Initiative, vs. high Will targets that's a 16-17% difference in defense, vs everything else a Magus will generally have an easier time hitting things.
That's not how the evasion from stats work, also check gear sets + tactics/abilities.
