Skada: Munched ignite damage (%) 31.2%
Ok so I have done about 3 tests now and its all been about 30% loss of damage. in each attempt i did let Flame Orb go off on cooldown meaning that it could potentially eat big crits.
This next test is with no Flame Orb
13k @ 2.36m
Skada: Skada: Ignite munching for Total, 13:04:59 - 13:11:31:
Skada: Reference ignite damage 509.0K
Skada: Actual ignite damage 435.8K
Skada: Munched ignite damage 73.2K
Skada: Munched ignite damage (%) 14.4%
as expected not using flame orb has reduced the ignite munching considerably.
What i think is needed as a potential fix for the .4 second chedck on the ingore talent is to bake ignite into the tree as a fire bonus. Increase some talent point costs to compensate for extra talents, this should stop this latest type of ignite munching.
any thoughts on this, others want to test it out as well?
Im going to try some tests in raids at some point as well, I would imagine inflated damage numbers of ignite munnching to be worse but percentages to remain the same for loss.
