VISUALS ARE COMING
It has been confirmed that the visuals we see on Alpha currently ARE placeholders. This was said in reference to Demonsurge, we aren't certain this will also apply to the new Empowered abilities too but that would be ideal.
MYSTERIOUS STACKING 10% BUFF
Seemed very odd at first because it gave 10% extra demonsurge dmg, stacking up to 5, every time you used a demonsurge and Meta would reset the stack.
So we initially thought you'd get a 10% from your first DS which would apply to your 2nd. Then you'd use your 2nd and get a 20% buff but then reset with Meta. Then use your next 5 Demonsurges and get a 40% buff on the final one but then the 50% would be a waste because we have nothing to spend it on.
We thought this because it appeared as though the buff was not applying until AFTER Demonsurge did damage.
We can now see when we look at logs, that the very first Demonsurge does indeed have the 10% buff on it. Meaning the buff is applied to the DS spend that triggers it. So our final Demonsurge IS being affected by the 50% buff.
DEMONSURGE DAMAGE
Looking at the log, we can see while playing a Low-Mover build, that Demonsurge is 9% of our overall damage in a dungeon and placing 3rd, right under DS.
This is BEFORE that damage is being amplified by our Mastery. It is still only registering as Fire damage and not Chaos. So we can expect another ~25-30%, potentially even more with the Student of Suffering buff.
Because this damage is still only Fire and not Chaos, this also means it's not benefitting from Chaotic Disposition, which will increase it even more.
Safe to assume that Demonsurge will do a LOT of damage when all is said and done.
STUDENT OF SUFFERING
Double use of Sigil of Flame does not give a double stack of the buff, nor does it extend it. It only refreshes it back to 8s
~24-25% uptime on the buff.
BURNING BLADES
Still only registering as Fire damage and not converting to Chaos. Damage seems a little low so it could be that WCL isn't an accurate read of it (considering the tooltip is wrong too) It's a direct duplicate of Soulrend, so the tooltip is only showing Throw Glaive and not Annihilation + Auto Attack Damage. It may also be because mobs were dying quickly.
After further inspection, Annihilation is not refreshing Burning Blades dot
DEMONIC/META UPTIME
Actually didn't feel that punishing in a dungeon while playing Cycle of Hatred and Shattered Destiny. Normally the excessive downtime in a dungeon would feel really bad because you end up dropping out of Demon form often and the value of those talents disappears. But with this Hero Talent tree, it was actually OK and sometimes even GOOD to drop out of Demon Form because that meant you could get back into it with an Eye Beam and get Demonsurges again.
If you extend your demon form, you don't get Demonsurges. You only get Demonsurges on the FIRST use of an empowered ability in Demon Form.
