Next time take cauterize at 30. It's the go-to prodigy for squishy mages that can get 1-shot.

Somehow I don't think a max charge is supposed to give you +6 damage.
Agree. Most likely it should look like that

Code: Select all

local dam = (15 + who:combatMindpower()) * (4+math.floor(self.charge/50))
Seems like now one cares about this particular item :roll:

It's a reporting bias: very few people are going to complain about doing too much damage, too reliably.
Check out my addons: Nullpack (classes), Null Tweaks (items & talents), and New Gems fork.

Something strange in your build:
0. Umbraphage will 'Absorbs all darkness in its light radius' and 'Shadow Armor' will never work. Are you kidding me?
1. While charging, Umbraphage will gradually let its light radius grow to 10 (Which reach to the upper limit), and HOW something will come from offscreen?
2. Barrier can crit. I don't think '400 HP after crit' is tough enough.
3. Even it hit for 625 damage, it's not 'instant kill'. Circle of Warding can be used to push it away and you still have lots of healing method in Light tree. Are you using some sort of auto-cast talents?
4. Cauterize is impressively strong. Just try it and you may forget Armour of Shadows.

If you can post your character details in the character vault it may help.

Actually, given the rapid rate of fire an Anorithil can get with Corona and Hymn of Moonlight, it would be quite interesting to watch. Kind of like a stroboscope. Hmm, a strobomage?
