Been doing some testing with the cube rune vs base effects, and they are very underwhelming. I can confirm that the cube rune is working as intended, but the problem im highlighting is the base effects of the illu spells. Here are examples done against 51% mr and 103% mr to show what im talking about:
Ignition :
- stopwatch timed at 27 seconds duration (20s spell + 8s effect on last pulse)
- damage on overweight character (no regen) = 27 against 103% mr
- damage on overweight character (no regen) = 52 against 51% mr
- with rune, damage on overweight character (no regen) = 47 against 103% mr
- with rune, damage on overweight character (no regen) = 82 against 51% mr
- equates to 1-3 damage per second depending on target mr
Conclusion - feels underwhelming even with rune, when aoe with wind axe or frozen cloud kill packs of monsters with 400+ hp in half the time or less. Suggest a slight buff to damage, cube not currently worth using with an mp cost of 30 per cast and very low damage over 27 seconds.
