RE: Sorcerer DPS BIS discussion
Basically yes. Force lightning is a higher DPS ability than lightning strike on its own (LS averages about 1600 per cast in BiS gear vs. 950 per tick on FL with FL procing twice per LS cast for ~1800 total damage) however lightning strike procs instacast chain lightning which is a very high DPS cast.
The idea is to weave in FLs in the midst of your LS casts to maximize DPS. I think there's still room for optimization there so, I'll look at a couple things we might be able to do to optimize the rotation, both in SimC, and in it's understanding for players. |
